happy one year b-day everyone. im so glad to have shared this jurney with you all. i love you guys lets keep it going.

sorry to hear your not feeling well. i to had to get some more fluid removed. and think im gonna have to get more out. im down to like 1.3cc. it almost feels like im allergic to the fills. i can eat but, its coming right back up and i seem to be pb till im throwing up foam. so i dont know. trying to hang in there. hell who said this band was da easy way out. what a lie

thank you well i got alittle taken out today i still feel very tight but, gonna hang in there with it. how did you know you had a stomach virues

thank you i to am sorry for your loss. and yes it is hard when you lose someone you love. mark(my Dude) is having a really hard time. as he just spoke to him the nite before. i keep trying to comfort him but, its hard cuz i just dont know what to say or do. my heart goes out to you and your family. i know how i felt when my granny passed in 01 i still cry. if you ever need to talk or just someone to listen im here. love ya

im gonna try it i think im gonna get some of my fill taken out thursday as once again i feel to tight. i have a bubble like in the back of my through. im hungry when i cant eat anything. what i had yesterday chix salad, sw.baby peas, cajuan rice 1/4cup total(pb) then 5-6hrs later 1/2c lasanga. 1/4c ice cream,2bite of cake. and a 16oz coff,cream,splenda and that was all i could eat but, was hungry just couldnt eat. when i pb its bad.ause they taste awful, secondly because the oil in the slim shot is better coated along your stomach wall that way. It coats your stomach alleviating hunger pains. It really does work for me, as the Lap-Band® never really gave me the hunger suppression as it has for so many others.

yes im were you are right now. hang in there things will get better it just has to. ms diva i know rigth im in that situation right now. how every here is an update on me i went and got a fill wednesday only .25 and its helping alot. i got on the scale today when i went to the dr's and i have lost 3lbs. i still crave the sweets but i think im gonna try the slim shots and see if that helps. oh what is that pill you was talken bout. well i will be going off liquids starting 2morow so i will see how every thing goes.

can i join in. we i seem to be in the same spot as you all to. went to the dr's today and got a sm fill dont think .25 is gonna do any thing but, das what i got. im having really issues with my eating habits cant seem to get back on track back eating sweets as i know food is gonna get stuck. had a test done and he thinks it might be a sm leak in it thats why he put more in. and by all means i know the band is a tool and of course im not using it right. funny thing is ms diva my dr said the same thing to me today said i know the rules and when im ready the band is there to help. i gained 6lbs and feel like ive fallen and cant get up. its like im ready to get it going then i go eat a cookie. what the hell, i did make a wkly menu, and talk to the lady at the ymca wanna try and do water arobics. so i guess thats a start i just gotta do my part. as i know i should have lost way more than i have im a much bigger person and thats what makes me feel like i have failed. well its a new day and all i can do is try and make it thru the day.

thanks you guys for the support. i go to the dr's in the morning and im happy bout that. i'm gonna be honest with the dr and tell him the truth. and see what we can come up with. but the support is much needed thanks for responding.

at least you know and now you can close the book on that chapter and move on with your life. trust me god knows best and she just wasnt for you. dont worry she will get hers when you do wrong to someone it comes back 2x's fold. im praying for you.

thank you for the motivation. i feel determined as it scares me to go back to where i was before. i dont wanna gain all my weight that i have lost back 99lbs. nor do i wanna fall back into bad habits of eating when upset as i have been doing. guess it takes time. an yes i am rather hard on myself gotta work on that to. thanks for the support

ok i seem to have fell off the wagon. just alot has been going on but, most of all there was a death in my family and that really hit me hard i dont know if its an excuse to eat or what but, i feel like ive failed and know its wrong and called my dr to tell him what is going on and i go see him on the 2nd. and i made a wkly food menu and joined a wt loss challenge, also plan on going back to the gym so im trying. i just dont know if i have the will power. i just know i dont wanna go back to where i was. it feels like im alone and no one understands. mybe its just im very emotional right now. any kind words would be great right now. thanks for letting me vent
