I have also lost about 8lbs since the fill so maybe it got looser or something. I feel a bit more restriction today but still not like I had before. It almost felt like I didn't have a band yesterday and it scared me!

Ok, I am FREAKING OUT! I got a really good fill about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It was super tight for the first week and then I felt like I got used to it after that. It had been going great until today, well this weekend. I got food poisoning on Friday and was sick all weekend, but not vomiting. Today at lunch (which I am usually very tight and can't eat much) I ate some lasagna with no problem. Then tonight at supper I ate more than I had all weekend. I am just completely paranoid that I have messed my band up with this sudden total lack of restriction. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!:party::sad::thumbup:

I am so glad to find this thread! I feel like I am the slowest loser ever! I did really well during the first 4 months and then nothing. I think it will help once school starts again and I don't have as much free time to eat! I haven't had a fill in 2 months (as recommended by my doctor) and gained 2 lbs last month! I don't totally blame it on restriction but some choices I made too. Since my last appointment I have been counting my foods on thedailyplate.com and walking a mile every day. Hopefully this will help make a difference! My doctor bet me a dollar to lose 5 lbs by next appt. so I have to do it!!

I don't know if this really qualifies but it has been just over 6 months since I have had a cigarette! Today is my 6 month bandiversary and I just thought I would share!

I like the EAS chocolate shakes pretty well. I agree that Syntrax Nectar-Roadside lemonade is really good! Not some gross thick shake. If you go to bariatriceating.com you can also order a sample pack to try out a variety before you buy a giant jar of something. Hope this helps!!:tongue2:

I was starting to think I was alone in this situation. I was banded on 01/08/08 and lost about 30lbs in the first 2 months. Since then I haven't lost anything. I was getting very down about the whole thing but after reading this I feel much better. I think it was just what I needed to get recommited to getting results. Thanks so much everyone!!:wink2:

So sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I searched everywhere and can't find them at home. I must have put them in the last garage sale. I found them to be pretty difficult and fast paced. I think you would need a strong dance background to be successful with these. I think I will just stick to my Turbo Jam. Good luck!

:thumbup:CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so jealous. I hope the same happens to me someday!

I have/had those videos. Let me see if I can find them and you are more than welcome to have them. They were just a little too hard for me. I will let you know!:smile2:

Count me in! Hopefully this will kick me into to exercising. I have been so lazy since surgery!!:smile2:

I would love you forever if you sent them to me! I am entering the size 20 range and have no pants! I would be more than willing to reimburse you or pay you for them. Let me know!!

I guess I am just paranoid since I don't feel a whole lot of restriction. I am not overeating but I do get full. I just think I should be getting fuller faster. Hopefully that will all change when I get my first fill on the 18th!

I am just wondering how much and what you guys are eating for meals. I haven't had a fill yet and I was banded on the 8th. I just feel like I am eating alot. I am only having like 1500 calories a day and am steadily losing about 2lbs a week. I have cut my portions but it still seems like I still get eat. Maybe I am just too used to diets where you can't eat anything or just getting over the liquid diet thing. Any advice would be good.....:confused:HELP!!

I just wanted to let you guys know that this is a great website for helping to keep track of calories, protein, exercise and things like that. I am quite addicted to it and just wanted to pass it along!:frown:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for you. 4 less days to think about it!!
