Decided to change my goal as I have been having a hard time losing lately and there is no way I will lose 60+ by New Years. Now I just want to hit Onederland!

I didn't get in on the challenge cuz I was out of town all last week, but I want to set my goal as 5lbs. I am down 1 lb this week. My weight loss might be slowing down even more now. I was just getting over the physical stress of my Dad passing, and now my DH just got laid off. Now I have been trying to find a job all summer with no luck, and now he has none either. We are in for a rough time now, so there is no way I can afford fills once I adjust to the stress.

I think one package of ramen seasoning has 10g Protein. For your ticker, you get the code when you are done creating it, and then copy and paste it into your signature.

I tried just buying broth in chicken and beef but I wouldn't stand the taste. I resorted to just using the flavoring packet in ramen noodles. no noodles, just broth. Since I love ramen, it was a good staple for me.

Makes you wish that Dr.K did PS too. I am so sorry about the whole flight thing! Those people are rude, and hurtful! The worst part is that they don't even care. But that is their problem, and they are going to have their comeuppance. Sometimes it's nice to imagine that people like that might have weight problems later on, and that they will see what it's like. Although I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You are amazing and don't let those people make you feel like you aren't!:smile2:

I have been having this problem lately, and just threw up chunks today. It has happened several times now but not for about a month. I think mine might be stress related. First my father passed away and that was the first time it happened. Now this week my DH just found out he is being laid off. So I guess I just wanted to know from the OP if this stops, or if it is something I will struggle with for a while?

Mini~ Happy bandiversary!! You look great!!! Put me down for no loss this week. I blame the swine flu!!! Maybe I will drop a few nest week as I start to recover. Going to Disneyland with my Mom and sisters next week. We need something to give us a pick-me-up. DH doesn't like Disneyland anyway, so he doesn't mind that we are going without him. We are either leaving Saturday, or Monday. I am excited, even though we might be a little sad, it will help us remember how many funtimes we had there with Dad

I was curious about this too! I am a music teacher, and like to do some performing on the side. I don't have a clue about what the weight loss will do, but I have noticed that I get gurgly sometimes when I sing. Justin, you are getting your band on my birthday!

My port is still tender sometimes too. I don't lay on my stomach because it pushes it and makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes if my jeans are too high when I sit down, it pushes my port and hurts. I think it's because the muscles keep having to change positions because we keep losing the fat under it. Maybe it won't hurt so much after we get to our healthy weight.

Oooh!! Hoping for the weight loss!!! At least there might be something good about it.

Well, put me down as even this week. I just got home from the Instacare, and I have the H1N1 virus, or Swine Flu. It is not pleasant. I just feel all around crappy. But I have no other medical conditions, so I should get through just fine. Although, it is possible that I have strep too, they are sending my sample for cultures since half of my family has it. Wouldn't it just be great to have both at the same time. I think I got the swine flu because I was pretty much saying poo poo you swine flu. :smile2: Now I kinda feel like this. :thumbup: Oh well, I am going on the meds so I should be feeling somewhat better soon.

My DH is kinda like that too. He either never eats, or eats only sweets. I wasn't overweight until high school, but have been gradually getting bigger and bigger. I tried diets, and exercise but could only lose abt 25lbs and then it would stop and I would gain it back and then some. This has been such a good choice for me. I believe that this slower weight loss is helping me to change how I think about food, and helping me to change my bad habits. I know that the lapband is not always right for everyone, and I am only part way into my journey, but I really do think that it is changing my life for the better!

Something I found helpful, was having tylenol pm. Liquid form is easier. It helped me sleep when I was uncomfortable. And just being really supportive helps. My moods swings were pretty bad especially around that time of the month. My poor DH almost got his head snapped off a few times. Just keep in mind that most of the mood stuff is hormones, and that it will taper off and go away eventually

Well I'm still here. Life is kind of frustrating right now. My Dad passed away 2 months ago, and I am trying to figure out how to deal with it. Plus my DH has been having lot of health troubles lately. And my weight loss has slowed a TON because of all the stress. I don't think I am getting enough calories, cuz I just can't get things to go down. Sorry to dump all that, but you asked! :thumbup:

I found that the lapband actually made my acid reflux go away! I only have problems now if I eat pizza or something with a lot of spices

You know, you may have just had a bad reaction to the mexican food. I can't eat chili, or I will throw up. Weird but that is the only thing that does it. Also, you may have had some swelling from your fill, and just need to give it a bit longer to go down. You could possibly be overfilled, but I really don't think that one episode of vomiting would make you slip. Just to be safe, call your Dr and ask a few questions. Maybe they can help a bit.

LOL! This thread is great! I was a very snug 42 DDD. Now I am sitting at that ugly inbetween place where my42 is the tightest I can make it, but the cup is getting loose, not small enough for a DD, but definitely heading there. THANK GOODNESS!!! I was thinking a lot about reduction, but maybe by the end of this I will end up with a nice D cup. They are all saggy though, and don't look good without a bra on. My DH is so good to me though. He says he doesn't care how small they get as long as I am healthy. I just keep thinking tube socks with baseballs in the toe. :blushing:

As you lose fat around your stomach your band will get more loose. Or, you could have had a bit of swelling from your fill and it went down after a bit. That is why most people keep needing fills along the journey. Unfortunate, but necessary.

So sorry that you are frustrated! She really should have just said that you had some things come up. We can hope that your Bishop won't tell other people too. Sorry you are having to worry about this so soon after surgery. Stress isn't going to do you a lot of favors right now.

I agree with Jachut and missbinda's posts. Please do not go tanning, either in a bed, or outdoors. Neither is good for you. My father recently passed away from a type of melanoma that hides under the skin, and there are no outward signs until it latches onto an organ, and by then it is too late (he lived only 9 months after they found it). I know that not everyone who goes tanning gets skin cancer, but it is possible! To all of you just wanting to look better do NOT risk your health. Get a good spray-on, and that will do wonders without the side effects! PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN!!!

Nice to have you with us!!! I know what you mean by not wanting to be the person gossiped about.

I'm glad you will have someone with you! Have you gotten a date yet?

Congratulations on getting your band!!! I am glad that all went well and you are home safe. I needed more time to recover too. I didn't have a job at the time so that helped, but those people who go back in a few days amaze me! I hope your recovery is quick though!
