I agree with 2 much fun. If you aren't at proper restriction it will be a constant battle. Did you feel any different after your full?

Today I am doing liquids only. Trying to restart and refocus and help my band out. Half way through the day but I bet this evening at home will be my challenge!

I have too but I know it's my fault. I'm not eating like a banded person. Protein first and then veggie. Today I am doing a day of just liquids and then will start with soft protein tomorrow. Just tryin to get back to the basics

I get thighs and put them in the crock pot Sprinkle with a packet of dry ranch and pour a jar of herdez green salsa over it. Cook for about 6 hours on low. Yum!

I'm in! We check in once a week? Hw 314 Cw 212 Thanks g goal 199

It stands for a productive burp. When you burp and food comes up...gross I know....

Congratulations!

I haven't had much hair loss but I was taking biotin for a while. Then I read that it increases hair growth everywhere and I don't need any more help with facial hair! ???? Has anyone else heard of this?

That sux! Hope you find someone soon! Until the. Stay active on the board! That helps me

You are doing great! I was nervous my first fill but after a stick of lidocaine I felt nothing. Easy!

Yes that's exactly how I feel. Still down 100 pounds and that makes me happy!

I've read that some do a short time of liquids only for a few days to get their restriction back on track. What do you include when you do this? Just protein shakes? What else do you eat? Thanks for your help!

2008 and still loving my band. I've gained a little weight back because I've let some bad habits creep back in but I know I would've gained sooo much more without my band

Because caterpillars emerge into beautiful butterflies. And I ❤butterflies! So I hope 2 babutterfly!

Watch your restriction and when you go in for fills have them withdraw all fluid to make sure the amount matches. I was having fills and would have a short time of restriction.....8 long months later we found a leak in my tubing.

I had it prior to losing weight and haven't been bothered with it since. Idk if it was the weight loss but I'm sure alleviating that pressure off of your foot helps! I was carrying around 100 more pounds!

That's a good idea cutlass. Do you have problems with leftover meat? Sometimes it gives me problems

I think half of my problem is not planning out my meals for the week or at least the day. So.......what are you planning on eating today???

They gave me propofol (spelling?) it was strange. I was asleep through most of it but would wake up a bit here and there. I hope things go well for you. Has anything been done?

I didn't have a disconnect but I recently had to have my port and tubing replaced because there was a leak in the tubing. Surgery was no big deal. In and out in a few hours. didn't even put me all the way out. Thankfully my insurance covered it. I hope all goes well for you!

Congrats on losing some of the weight you've gained! I agree you might want to check with your doc and make sure you are filled to a good level. Try to plan all of your meals and snacks ahead so you won't do any "grab and eat", best wishes!

Congratulations on your decision to get banded! Best decision I ever made!

@b-52. I was wondering when you do this how long do you do it for?

They know where they are with their weight, just as I did. I always dreaded going to the dr because he would tell me I really needed to get some of the weight off and I just wanted to say really?? I hadn't noticed I have trouble fitting in a chair! It's such a personal struggle and issue. I think people can tell you over and over but until you are ready nothing will happen. Just be supportive and encouraging. If they bring it up then go for it

Hang in there. They will come!! I remember when i had to move my car seat up because I couldn't reach the pedals as well. My built in back cushion had disappeared!! Lol!
