what does it feel like if u have a leak or somethin else is wrong? i just got a fill the other day and im not noticing any restriction! i did before i got this last fill. i have 7 cc's in a 9cc band....what is goin on? im scared!

Well, I am finally back on the wagon. I have been going thru a painful divorce and have gained some weight back. food became my best friend again. BUT...I have started exercising, eating healthy and following my band rules again. Wish me luck with getting healthy again and picking up the pieces of my broken heart too!

Ok I am in the middle of a painful divorce at 26 years old! Anyway, I have turned to food as my friend again. After a big gain, I am back on the wagon. I am pretending I just got my band and am following all the "rules" and walking/running for 45 min a day and 12 situps and pushups. This will only be day 3 of the exercise but I have to start somewhere right?? Wish me luck....I need skinny vibes sent my way!!!

I wanted sooooo bad to eat my stepkids' sugary unhealthy Cereal this morning....but i fought with my willpower for over an hour, shed a tear or two, and didn't eat any! i am so proud! I won! Yea! Send me skinny vibes everyone!

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. U don't do that all day everyday do u?? Just accept the act, and move on. this is a lifetime committment....u have to allow yourself some wiggle room and some splurges every once in a while! Just jump right back on track! Good luck!

I am back on the Slimfast plan for now. I have fallen off the wagon again and pushed it over the cliff. :welldoneclap: So I am back to basics of drinking lots of Water, counting calories, and only eating 3 times a day. I will have about 840 calories today. I only plan on doing this until I can trust myself with eating "right" again. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!

would it be so bad if i snuck in a snack or two of apple slices or almonds throughout the day? i'm hungry a lot lately and my band is full so no more fills. i wanna stay on track but hunger is gettin to me! thnks all!

I have let my inner fat girl come back out to play with a vengeance. I have let the busy demands of work, school, and family take over and cause me to eat bad food and lots of it. I am very ashamed of what I have done. I don't even wanna get on the scale and face the music, but my pants are back to being tight again.....how could i of done this?? i was doing so well. I have lost 97 lbs so far, and in my mind, thats nothing. i want more more and more gone. i have to get back my motivation. i don't exercise anymore, and eat whatever i want. someone give me the stern talking to i need, and help me get back on track. thank you all!

Well hello fellow AZ'er. I'm in Mesa. I got my band thru Scottsdale Bariatric. Great center! Check into them. It's Dr. Robin Blackstone. Good luck, and congrats on ur decision.

i went to the gym today and did an hour of walking on the treadmill and 20 min of strength training.....yea! I feel good! I like feeling in control again now that i'm back on track, but everyday is a "test" and a struggle still. good luck to me and everyone. Bandsters unite!

two of my co-workers made some comments about how much i was eating last night and it really hurt my feelings. one said "how much of that are you gonna eat?" and "we better put the food away before she eats it all!". :confused:

WOW! but i guess that is exactly what i needed to get me motivated again....i went to the gym today and will begin to eat right and listen to my band again starting today! no more slacking!! I feel renewed and that 30 min of exercise actually felt good! yea me! :sneaky:

I want to start trackin my calories. Like for Breakfast, I make myself a burrito with eggs, cheese, Beans, and onions? How would i calculate that?

im using the optima blend....supposed to last 4 hrs. 180-190 cals

I am trying Slim fast right now cuz i just cant seem to trust myself with food....just long enough to get back in control. is that ok do u think? lemme know....

hey all. the holidays threw me for a loop, and now i'm so off the wagon! i'm having a very hard time getting back on. i've lost 97 lbs so far, and want to lose about 30-35 more. where is my motivation? i feel like such a loser....that i can have weight loss surgery and i still can't succeed....HELP!

i am vowing today to jump back on the wagon. holidays are over...time to focus and listen to my band again. wish me luck

well, welcome and congrats on ur surgery date! i hope everything goes great! expect some discomfort the first few days, but after the first week you'll be fine. keep us updated on your progress!

So i am in no way a good looking gal BUT...........I am LOVING all this male attention i'm getting since my weight loss so far. it makes me feel so awesome. of course...i got married in june...so it's not like i can act on anything, but its good to notice the looks and stuff anyway! :tongue2:

u just got banded? RELAX! the weight will come off. ur priority right now is healing, not weight loss. 23 lbs is great! see if you feel anything different after your fill, but you probably wont (most people don't feel a difference after just one fill, and thats normal!) this takes time...it's a lifelong journey. you will do just fine! keep us updated! :tongue2:

well u might be in ur plateau. try changing ur eating habits a little...different foods and amounts. incorporate a little more exercise. it happens to everyone on any weight loss journey. be patient...it will pass. then, when i hit mine, u can help me through it! :wink2:

also....r u close to goal? i know the closer u get, the harder it's supposed to be and the slower it comes off. good luck hun!

ya, i had asthma pre-op pretty bad, and then it went away post op, but just the last month or two it's come back. oh well....all of my other conditions are gone! yea!

my asthma that is. i had it really bad pre-op and it went away for a while, but now it's back. i'm using my inhaler regularly again....gggrrr....but other than that, everything else is good. i get weighed on the 22nd, so i will post my update soon!

Great job! U look amazing!
