I'm proud of myself today. I exercised thursday & went to the gym Friday night! :cursing: :scared2::cursing: Also, yesterday I went to a family cookout & did pretty well w/ my eating. I did my protein first, had only a few chips. There was so much food ! I did good. :thumbup: Anyway, gotta get in a workout today too~!

BostonLady- Sorry I don't know much about the protien shots ect. I know I did have hair loss after a few months. I think it's just gonna happen to most of us. Like somebody else mentioned trauma from surgery ect. I did get some hair thickenong theropy from my hair dresser.

Hi there! Just adding my 2 cents..... I'm happy w/ my band. I have no problems w/ any food & can eat just about everything. Which is not always good. I don't think I keep my band as tight as some people. My weight loss has been on the slower side but this is my own fault. The band can help w/ hunger but not cravings & "Head Hunger". I still am glad I chose the band. GOOD LUCK!!

Call your doc. :-)

Hi everyone!!! I'm here. can't believe it's gonna be a year. I've been on & off for a few months but ready to get down to bussiness again!!!

Doing my daily check in everybody. :-) I have an appointment this tuesday w/ Dr. V. I don't know if I'll be getting a fill of not. I'm going to ask her to give me 1/2 of what she gave me when I was overfilled the last time. She took it all out. I wish she left a little in. Anyway, I did welll yesterday w/ my eating & I went for a 2.5 ml, fast walk. It felt good to sweat agin!!!! aaaaaaaahhhhh! I really need to exercise for my mind not only weightloss. I have been so on edge & crabby lately. I can't stand myself! I feel like I have 24/7 PMS. My poor kids :-(. Hang in there everyone! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Paige~Did they see anything wrong???

Thank you all for your replies! Karen~We will get there!!! Good luck to you too!!!

Yes, I agree w/ the rest. What you put into it is what you get. I will be banded a year sept 25th. I have only lost 40 lbs. I have not lost anything since march but this is because I have not been doing what I should. The band is a tool & you must WORK IT. GOOD LUCK!!!

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! WTG!!!! You should be screaming from the roof tops.......as you are lol!!!!!!

I have an appointment tuesday. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I've been banded for a year in Sept. I've lost 40 ish pounds. Which I was ok w/ for awhile but I haven't lost anything since march. It's my own fault. I have been eating the wrong foods, not exercising, & just not following my plan. I don't need a fill, I'm not hungry. I don't know what my problem is.........I just can't get my head back in the game!!!! I feel like I used to feel before I was banded. Like I have NO CONTROL. I'm eating the wrong foods & I'm eating when I'm not hungry. Any advise please & thank you.

I love that quote Paige TFS!! Why'd you have to have the GI??? Everything ok???

When I'm really tight I take the childrens motrin. You just have to double the dose. It can get expensive doing it this way too. :-) I here ya on the cramps thing. It's the only thing that helps me too.

NO Ibufrofen!?!?!? What!??!? I take this for eveything. I didn't know I should't take it. When I have my period I always take FOUR because my cramps get so bad.

thanks Paige!!

Paige, I'm so happy for you!!! You just keep up the dating around & have an awesome time!!!! As, for me...... I almost made it through one more day {{{{sigh}}}}. :-)

Ok, I have decided I DON'T need a FILL. I have been journling my food for a few days. I have been getting my protein & I'm not hungry in between meals. It's just the frigin HEAD HUNGER I gotta deal w/!!!! :thumbup:

Oh that's great only 2 wks!!! Don't worry it'll go fine & you'll be so happy after it's over with. I'll be honest.....the liquid diet SUCKED for me :thumbup: but you get through it just like every other stage of the band. I have not tried unjury.

Never mind the pizza........how'd the date go?? How's single life treating ya??? :thumbup:

That's awesome!!! You must be so excited! I had mine done a year ago Sept 25th. Just think ......you'll have the whole fall & winter to work on your weight loss. Come spring/summer you'll have a chunk of weight off! :thumbup:

ooops, just read this so scratch the last questions. GREAT JOB on your weight loss!!!!

I see you are very dedicated! Good for you. How long have you been banded & what s your loss????

Jujuvee~ I must admit I know what my problems are :drool:. I am on & off the wagon so to speek. I just have to buckle down. I know I'm eating the wrong foods, not enough, Protein, eating between meals, no excercise, ect ect. I have not had a fill since Dec! The last fill I had made me too tight though. Today is a new day though. I will go back to the gym & start journaling my food again!!! I need to get on the boards here again because i know you all keep me motivated. THANK YOU!!!!

Ok. I'm not really hungry in between meals, I'm NOT losing weight. It will be a year in sept & I've only lost 40 lbs!!
