happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthdayto positively focused happy birthday to you.hope you have a beautiful day.

same happen to me ,have not had one in 4-5 months,just got it this month.do not care if i ever see it again.it is due to weight loss.i ask my doctor was i going through early menopause he says no.

you guys just had surgery.you have to give it time. when i went for mt two weeks post-op, i lost 19lbs. my doctor told me don,t expect to loose any more weight.i was like ha.what he meant was not until i started getting my fills.you are in the healing stage.illuminationlady is so right just exercise&eat right.its just gonna take time.wishing all of you a good journey.

i have been stuck in twoterville for three-four months,i had a fill on may 6th, i was 3lbs away from onderland,an on may 24th i hit 199.6ibs.i could not believe it.i know its takes time.it will happen for you.it does go slow congrats on your weight loss.i went through the same thing.so i try not to think about it.

hello january was my 1 year having the band an it happens to me all the time,sometimes i can only eat 1/2cup.the next i can eat anything.i believe the band is fickle.at times i can eat a portion of everything the next month,i am wondering whats going on.i think thats just how the band is,shrimp is a sometimes food with me.i cannot eat the regular chicken that i cook,ido the roasted.it is too dry.some food i just stay away from.everyone has their own experiences with the band.best wishes.

congrats,keep us posted.i know you cannot wait.

good luck on your brand new journey.get a lot of rest.drink a lot of water.sip slow.welcome to your new life.

you are so right.i use to (SWEAT)all the time.i hated it.

out of breath,

wheezing

did we mention(SWEATING)

i had to take a towel every where i went.i am so glad i had weightloss surgery.

i know you are feeling ready to go. thats how i felt i had to wait 3-4 months after all my pre-op appointments.it will happen for you.good luck.

I will be reading your blog.

hi chatty i am so sorry for your loss,i lost my mother a weekbefore mothers day, that was years ago, an i think about her all the time.prayers go out for you&your family.she will be smiling down on you an she will see all of the good things to honor her.god bless.

yes, yes ,well i start to feel the pain, and then it passes through real slow an then(pow) relief big time.but i still feel sick sometimes an loss of appetite.no more food. it turns me off.

i got my fill may 6th, i am just now feeling restriction, it seems to hit all at once, at first when the doctor gave me a fill i usually hear it going down, this time i did not.i say wait until after vacation.this band is fickle. sometimes its on, an sometimes it is not.

congrats, i am also still in twoterville,trying to get to onederland.(smile)you make it.

sslouha is right.i got my restriction after my third fill,an my very first fill after my two weeks post-op.the following month.

you are lucky,after my six months dietian appointments i had to wait 3 months before my surgery.i started in april 08-sept 08.had to wait out the holidays.

My weight, i started to see the results before surgery i lost 40lbs.i had a(beer belly).an it shrunk.so i say around forty pounds.

I say stat like you are,no unfill.i am going on a long (greyhound bus)trip to alabama.me an my daughter, i will be on that bus for a day&a half. to get to our destination.i just got a fill in may.i have some restriction.i get another fill at the end of july.when i come back.you could just eat a small portion of this an that.i had to learn before the holidays.you will survive.i had never had to unfill.so i say keep your fill,an enjoy yourself.before you know it,you are gonna say (wow)that was easy.have a great vacation.

tilapia is really good i saute mine on top of the stove. i use olive oil. season the fish(i use ms dash)put in pan. then i squeeze a half of lemon on top.that will get rid of the fishy smell.then you take the juices from the pan.pourit over the fish. please try it.hope you fall in love. also salmon.

January,13th was my one year out.my starting out weight was 324lbs.lost 40lbs before surgery.today i am at 206lbs.i love my band i never thought that i would have a second chance at life.i had high blood pressure

diabetes

high cholestoral.today i love my band,my life.

I am a so making myself crazy,every morning,everytime i go in the bathroom.it just calls my name.saying(step up)an here i go.but lately i have ignored it.sometimes my numbers are off,so i go by the doctors scale.it is crazy habit.an to make it worsei have two scales, the first one is a regular number,but no i had to have the digital one.it did not make a difference.had to vent.

Sometimes it,s due to swelling of the band.maybe you need to go for liquids.my swelling after a fill sometime takes a week.an when i tried solids it hurt going down.my doctor puts me on liquids, first day,soft, then regular.hope you feel better.i also slime.people may not agree with me but thats a part of being band.the sliming

the pbing

the throwing up.eventually it will happen at one point while we have the banded.

congrats to all of you.wishing you guys the best on your new journey.
