Yes, I know I need to up my water intake.

Well, I've been stuck at the same weight forever it seems so I thought coming here may help. Yesterday~3 ml. brisk walk Today~ 2 ml. brisk walk

Thanks Mel lol! I got in another 2 MLs yesterday lol! I've been measuring my food too. Stiill I am not moving the scale. I have to stop weighing myself!!! It's so hard for me not to. The 14 this at the Faulkner??

Well, I couldn't do just liquids today but I was good anyway. I just got back from a 3 mile walk YAAAAY ME ! You all probably get sick of me telling I've been good & what I've done for exercise but it makes me feel good to tell someone LOL! Hope the scale moves soon!!! Fingers crossed! :cool2:

No, I live about 40 min north from the city.

"The next support meetings are Monday Sept 14th at the Faulkner and Tuesday Sept 15th at B&W " I would really like to go tp one of these. Is anyone going? Well, I am still stuck at the same weight :mad:. I was thinking of TRYING to stick to just protein shakes & liquids for a day or two. Have any of you done that when stuck at a plateau? Yesterday was a busy day. My oldest Lydia started 2nd grade. Poor thing was so nervous I thought she would throw up. I remember the feeling well.........I'd always get it before speaking in front of the class in school. God, I hated that more then anything!!! Lydia did have a good day & kept tsaying her teacher was very nice :thumbup:. My middle dd Karaline went back to preschool for a few hrs a week. It'll be nice once they settle in. Still have have my 3 yr old Lacie home w/ me. Paige~ Do you teach???

Well, I went to a party today & was a good girl. I brought my own salad w/ me. They had pizza. I also got a 2 ml. walk in this morning. Still going back & forth between the same 2 lbs . Gotta stick it out so I can get past this weight. TTYL,

Hey K8!! Glad your ok. My port area was the most painful too. I found the port area hurt more after a few days. Be careful bending down ! Mine felt like it would rip open. I was feeling REALLY good after 5 days. Don't worry about not being hungry because it WILL come :sad:. I was up & walking around within a few hours. Just take it slow. Everyone heals differently. Keep in touch!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!!! YOUR BANDED!!!!!!!! :mad::thumbup::thumbup::wub::biggrin::tt1::tt1::thumbup::thumbup:

OH YEAH! Jay did you read when we were all talking about how we are not supposed to take Motrin?? Can cause swelling ect.. I think that's why I had probs w/ my last fill. Just a thought. :frown:

Hi all! Went to Kohls today to look for bras. I got one but it's still not great. I'll just double that w/ my old one for now. Thanks for all the help ladies. Paige~Trust me that I know just how you feel. I constantly feel like I'm losing my mind!!!! I can relate w/ the emotional eating & being stuck in between plus & reg sizes is where I'm at too. Hang in there girl. It'll get better for you when things get back to the norm. :-) We're here for ya!

oooo, that is so scary. Now that I am banded I wonder abbout ever having it removed. I hope you have a full fast recovery.

Today I broke 180 lbs just BARELY. 179.6 lol!!! Going down from here if it KILLS ME!!!! Not gonna weigh myself for a few days because if it goes up again I may relapse. 170's HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!! :-) wooooo!!! whooooo!!! Mel~ I remember you brining up Kohls before. I will try there today. TY! I have a chip issue too. I've been scarfing them down all summer. No more!!!! K8~How are you!?!??!? Hope your doing well! :-) Jay~ I'm sorry your getting stuck issues. I have never delt w/ that. I have gotten stuck for a few minutes & that's hell. I couldn't handle being stuck for 45 min!! I asked about being seen by another doc before because I couldn't get in to dr Vernon. They were going to talk to her about it but it was only for a fill. I told them forget it. They told me they don't usually do other doc's patience. They may for you where you need an unfill. Why can't they see you if your having trouble???? That's bull! Who said they were going to take out your whole fill??? The ER???? How are you now?????? Paige~Thanks for Bra info. I did think of layering too. I just don't want to order online in fear of it not fitting when I get it. I want to try on. Thanks though. Keep the instant out of the house!!! If your not already. ibelieve~ Yes, they are tuff on me. LOL!!!!

Tonight I went out to target looking for a good sports bra. With my 3 little ones mind you. Usually I would go for the XL. Since this has given me NO support while running I went 1st for the medium :w00t: ~~YEAH right!!! What was this fat chick thinking????? ha! Then I went for the LG. As I'm stuffing myself & the girls into the size large.......My daughters are screaming at each other & banging on the door saying someone's coming in :w00t:! I guess they thought it would be a funny joke to play on mommie. I got the LG on but they still jerked up & down too much when I jumped up & down in the dressing room w. my 3 daughters watching like I was crazy. Of course my 7 year old had to let me know my belly was still jiggling :crying:. Ah yeah,, thanks hon!!!! :frown: LOL!!! Anyway, I did not get a sports bra tonight. Any suggestions?? :thumbup:

I know weight loss can help alot w/ GERD.

Hi! I did have a small fill w/ my surgery but it didn't do anything to help. I know my 1st 8-10 lbs loss was becasue of liquid diet for a week after. You have to do it on your own. It's called "BAND HELL". Your banded but have No restriction yet. So your hungry a lot. It stinks but does get better. :thumbdown:

Don't worry it took me 5 fills to get good restriction. It will come! :-)

Oh no! I feel your pain! :thumbdown: Dr V said I could take liquid motrin if I'm DYING. I'll be banded 1 YEAR Sept 25th. I can't believe it!!! It's weird, I don't really have any problems w/ any foods. I don't throw up or slime. I must keep my band much looser then some of you all. You think?? Maybe I need it a bit tighter. I don't know??? Well I'm back on solids already today. Ate some chicken for breakfast w/ no problem. Had a salad for dinner went down good.

I remember being worried they would cancel my surgery because I didn't lose the 5 lbs they wanted me to. They DID NOT WEIGH me either. They only asked my weight. I'm pretty sure I had gained a bit because I was having one last happy food fling before my surgery & then they SPRUNG it on me. You will be ok tomorrow. Think about how well you'll be doing 2 months from now. You'll be on your way GF!!!! GOOD LUCK & get back to us ASAP to let us know how it went! :thumbdown:

Well, I don't wish hard times on anyone BUT I'm happy to see I'm not tthe ONLY one struggling w/ the weightloss. I went for a small fill last night & I feel good today. Terri~ I hear ya w/ the 3 kids thing. I'm there right now too. In some ways I want school to start but in some ways it will make it more crazy! I only have one in full time & one doing preschool 2 days. My almost 3 yr old will be home still......OH JOY!!!! ;-p

I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish I just told only close family. Then sometimes I think who gives a SH:tongue2:T !

Hey Mel! I'm sorry you've had a tough time. :tongue2: I know what you mean about adjusting your brain. I have to do the same. Hang in there.

Well, I had a busy day yesterday :wink2:! Took my middle dd (4 yr old) to eye exam & we found out she needs glasses. She has had a slight lazy eye for a few years now & the doc says she's a little near sighted. So, we fitted her for glasses. They are adorable on her & she LOVES them. She wanted to bring them home right then. I let her pick out the ones she wanted. They were a bit more $ but I want her to be happy if she has to wear them :smile2:. Later I had my appointment w/ Doc V at 4pm. Lacie was very good. She slept for the 40 min right & was good in the office. We had to wait about 30 min in the room & that was a bit hard for her. So, I talked w/ them about my bad eating habits lately & my motrin popping :wub:. Dr V was wondering if my motrin use was why I had a problem w/ my last fill (SWELLING from motrin). It makes sense because I'm sure I had my period & taking 800 mg's for it :thumbup:. Dr. V left it up to me on what I wanted to do for a fill. So, I got 1/2 of the fill she took out last time when I was overfilled. I feel good this morning. I'm able to get my ice coffee down. I had a hard time w/ it last time. I told her I was not that happy w/ my weight loss so far. She said I've lost 40% & that usually takes two years. So, she's ok w/ what i've done. She also said I've done ok since I've been eating junk too. :eek: Anyway, I' m ready to do BETTER ! Have a good one everyone! :tongue2: Paige~ No, I did not workout & have not again since FRIDAY . I will!

Well, I'm off to boston today at 2:30 for my 4:00 app. I have to bring my youngest w/ me...... OH JOY! She's 2 1/2 yrs old so it should be interesting. Wish me luck!

Wow! It's strange that I have been stuck between about the Same number's too since MARCH :sneaky:!!!! I know I have been messing around & not eating right. STORY OF MY LIFE~:wink2:!!! I am trying to get back on track now & have been working out again :sneaky:. ONE DAY AT A TIME!! :biggrin: Today I go to see my Doc. I will ask for a small fill. The last fill I had about 6week ago was too tight & she removed the whole fill:frown: . I haven't had a fill since DEC 22nd!!!! Maybe she can just give me 1/2 of what she gave me last time. I think I could have handled it but I was not used to eating SOOOOOO SLOW. I have to grin & bare it. Going to go weigh myself..........will it be 182, 181, OR 179.8 ?????
