Hey I think we all have failed from time to time. My journey has been hard at first it was great... the weight was falling off, everyone complimenting me. Then bam.... nothing for a long time. I kinda became discourgaed and started cheating, but now back on track! I just went for my third fill and have lost almost 10 pounds. Anyway it will happen we want to be the "new" us yesterday we have to keep remember it will happen tomorrow and it takes work! Good Luck on your journey and know we all stumble it is the ones who start again that finish.

Good Work Everyone! It has been 6 months and I am down almost 80 lbs it is coming slow now. I have spent all summer coaching baseball and not much time working out but I have really enjoyed my father son time. Anyway just checked in and everyone doing great... Manatee wow good job! Is anyone else still gagging. I do about everyday... but I am cheating on some rules drinking, not working out, and eating to fast. My goal is to slow down, chew and only one beer!

How is everyone doing? What exercising has helped you the most? What foods? How many times a week do you gag or throw up? For me I am okay my 2nd fill just last week I was feeling kinda tight... but made it thru and I am doing okay now. Exercising every morining for an hour... weights and treadmill. A lot of running up the bleachers!!! For Breakfast I normally do Slim Fast Protein shake. lunch and dinner it varies.... I travel all over for my job so not alot of sit at home meals. I try being careful but eating out is hard. I have business meetings and the men are eating steak and drinking beer. I will drink a beer with them... but I am having trouble with the steak. I get tired of chicken and mashed potates! Only two beers a week still looking for something I can eat without "slimming". Any ideas will greatly be appreciated.

I had my second fill last week. It was more restriction then the first fill and I was a little concerned I might need an unflll but it is okay now. I like the fills because it helps when you plateau.... Hope everyone is doing okay.

Samething here.... I had my second fill on Thursday and I have not felt good since. Then last night I tried to eat and have just been gagging all night. SUCKS to be now right now.

I was banded by Dr. Kuri in TJ on Jan 10 and it has been great. His office just called me Friday to touch base.... make sure I am still doing okay. If I have any questions. Great Experience!!! Good Luck to you it is a wonderful tool for weight loss.

I have been kinda at a stand still.... exercising, eating right, just stuck at 299............ then BAM this morning 293.6 YEAH!! How is everyone else doing?

I am so excited!!!! This morning I met my first mini goal.... I wanted to be less than 300 by our cruise (April 3) and this morning I did it! Woke my wife up yelling I was so happy! Now my next mini goal.... gotta think on that one.... but I will meet it!!!!!!

I do cardio first then lift upper body 3 days and lower 2 days. I normally spend about 1.5 hours in the gym. I have been running on the treadmill but when I first started was only walking.

I was just talking about maybe going in earlier for my 2nd fill. I have 3.4 in a 10cc band. When I went she tried 4cc but it seemed too much so she went to 3.4 but I feel like that might have been just not enough. I am also "sliming" about once a day. Just not chewing right... I catch myself eating like before LB and I slow down... but sometimes it is too late and I "slime" I can eat more sometimes then other times. The lady at the Fill Center said that is because where the Fluid is in my band. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I had my first fill Feb. 21 and she put in 3.4 ccs (10CC band). I have been okay not alot of change. Anyway my weight has kinda stalled from a pound aday to the same everday. When can you get a second fill? I am always hungry.... When can I expect the "sweet spot"? Okay one more I am still learning about the signs when eating.... so I slime about once a day on average. YUK! I really need to pay better attention to my body! Any suggestions.

I had my first fill at FILL CENTER USA in St Petersburg Fl and the lady was great. She explained so many things to me. I have not had any problems and I am doing really good with my first fill. She did tell me she did not think this one would not be my "sweet spot" The gave me 3.4 CC she tried 4 CC but I could not drink so she took some out. So we will see..... I feel like I am on the road to the "Sweet Spot" that is what my wife always says.... :biggrin:

I am having trouble holding anything down... Fill? NO not yet. I seem to be throwing up after eating. What is going on please help this sucks! :confused2:

I just started on food.... soft food broiled chicken, broiled fish etc. I have only had one episode of "PBing... gagging" it was at home and only lasted a little while. Our cruise is first of April what can I eat? I know chew chew chew... but I really don't want to get that "gagging, slime" feeling on the boat or at dinner. If any suggestions would love to hear them.

can you believe he left like that. wow I was shocked! anyway I am kinda rooting for the fans.... the favs are not really my favorite I really only remembered 3 (james, youman, and ozzie) you know before they showed the clips.
