Hello, it is my first year anniversary also. The year went by so fast. I'm down 115 pounds and feeling great. The Lap-Band is the best thing I every did. Well Congrats to all and keep up the good work.

LOL! I am in between a new born calf and a 2 month old horse...

I'm also on FACEBOOK!! I love it!

No more Lane Bryant for me thank god! I now shop at the store I been peeking in for years, and that is New York & Company. I'm loving it!!

After eating dinner one night I immediately drank some Water and I felt like I had just swallowed a grapefruit and it was struggling to go down.and then I got the urge to swallow again and the experience was the same...it was painful to say the least. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a sign of being too tight? Also, when I eat certain things, I sometimes gurgle, but it goes down. Is that a sign of being too tight or is that my sweet spot. I just don't know what kind of feeling to have when I'm at my sweet spot.

I understand what you are saying. You ate a little to much and you felt you food stuck in your throat and tried to get it down with water and it felt like it didn't want to go anywhere, yea it happens to me. your at your sweet spot. you know that your full and you just have to take that extra bite. yea I know but we will learn.

 Surgery Date May 21, 2008 90 pounds lighter...

I'm having problems with meats, bread, rice, and Pasta. I eat fish and Beans for my Protein.< /p>

I would love to join. I am aiming for a 20 pounds. That would put be at a 100 pound weight loss.

I always order sweet and sour Soup or the chicken and rice soup.

Welcome, and good luck. And Happy Holidays to you..

I didn't have to to a pre-op diet. The doctor told my not to gain anymore weight...

May 21st will be seven months for me and I say my journey so far was and is wonderful. I am down from a size 24 to a size 16... I can now jog, something that I wanted to do for a long time. And I am down 81 Pounds. The band is a wonderful tool if you know how to work it.

I guess everybodys fill is different, because my fill didn't hurt at all. Well good luck with your next fill.

I just got my fourth fill yesterday 10/28/08 and i'm down another nine pounds. I am so happy...:w00t:

Hello,

I have been following that same walk/run plan and I love it. I am running for about 20 to 30 minutes. By December I want to be jogging for an hour.

The best of luck to you and congrats on you 80 pound weight loss.

Congratulations to you and keep up the good work...

Congrats, your doing a wonderful job.

I am so sorry to hear that. My band is the best thing that happened to me. I lost over sixty pounds in three months. I hope things get better for you.

Hey there, was just wondering if anyone knows, can you lie on your stomach (obviously once healed) or can you feel the port, just wondering if i'll ever be able to read my book like this in bed again

Yes, if you lie on your back and press down under you biggest incision you can feel your port.

This is just what I needed!! Thanks Leslie!
