I'm not real sure how i could cheat to lose weight faster, if i knew that i'd of done it years ago, ha ha . I don't know, but i find my weight loss real weird too. I'm short 5ft. and i lost all those sizes without a real hugh weight loss??? now my decrease in measurments has slowed and the scale is starting to drop? in the late 90's i lost about 50 lbs on attkins, and the top half shrunk way quicker than the bottom half, and the scale went down quicker than the sizes did too.( it all came back plus) This time i am shrinking at the same rate, top and bottom, but measurments first, now weight??? i am eating a balanced diet, counting calories, and cycling them. One day i'll eat 900 calories lots of protien , the next i'll eat 1200 calories and more good carbs, the next i'll have 1600 calories and try to balance it out evenly. Like that. I also use my Daily plate.com, it is such a hel[p for me. Plus i am more active, and drinking lots of water and green tea.

[ Hello everyone in bandsterland, Today i am 3 months out. I went to bed last night being 1 lb from my personal goal of losing 30lbs in 3 months. When i woke up this morning it was gone !!! YAAAAAH! I also wanted to be able to fit into cloths from Northern Reflections, and i can. I can't believe this!!! know one wake me please. i have gone from a sz. 26 to a 16. I love my band!:smile2:

Like everyone else shopping! but also being able to be active with my family. Running, Biking, canoeing,maybe sking, swimming,all those thing i dreaded for fear of hurting myself. My first grandchild is on the way and i'm looking forward to being an active grandma! And hopefully i got this weight ticker to work!

Sure that sounds good. Just PM me when ever and we can talk. Where are you?

Hi there, I'm in Lloydminster alberta! I was banded by Dr. Corvalla in mexico on july 10. It was and/ is a great experience. The hospital is outstanding. You wont be disapointed. Take a house coat and face cloths though, They don't offer those there?? But everything else is exceptional. I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16 as of today! So i'm real happy. good luck to you, your gonna love the new you Tammy:thumbup:

Eat celery! It is A acid nutrilizor and works almost immediently. Guaranteed!

Before the band i suffered greatly with acid reflux and the only thing that could releive it was celery( it's a acid nutrilizer), even 2 bites often would do it. Works better that any bought thing. If you need to, blend it to mush and drink it. It really works! Good luck.

I like caps! Always have always will. Even when i write i use them.

IT IS ONLY FOR 21 DAYS,WHATS THE DIFFERANCE IF I DRINK OR CHEW MY FOOD SO LONG AS I AM GETTING THE NUTRITION I NEED. iT'S NOT A LIFE STYLE CHANGE IT'S A CLEANCE. AND ONE OR MORE OF MY DRINKS A DAY IS A PROTEIN DRINK. i WANTED TO DO THIS CLEANCE BEFORE THE BAND IT REALLY IS ABOUT GETTING THE TOXINS OUT, THE WEIGHT LOSS MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN. <!-- / message -->

am starting a 21 day juice cleanse today and was wondering if anyone else has done this? I had my third fill yesterday and i think i might have good restriction. My fill nurse will be gone for a week so i decided now might be a good time to stay on the liquids cuz she will be away in case i need an unfill. also because i have good restriction now the juice will hopefully be satisfying enough to stick to it. What it says to do is juice fruits and veggies for yummy drinks, idealy every 2 hours (awake hours) or six to seven times a day. for 21 days. and it will cleance your whole system out and help you metabolism to burn fat, thus loose weight, and a bonus will clear complexion too. I read somewhere that people can have 10-20 even 30 lbs of gunk built up in our colens and this will flush all those heavy toxins out. My friend went on a juice cleance and lost 12 pounds of black stuff. She feel great now! anyone else out there try this? I will keep you all posted as to how it works!:rolleyes2:

HI THERE, i'M IN LLOYDMINISTER, ALBERTA, THE CLOSEST OTHER PLACES TO GET A FILL IS RED DEER AND CALGARY. I AM LOOKING INTO IT. THANKS

i HAD MY FIRST FILL ON THE 16 OF AUG. ( 4 CC) IN A 10 CC BAND. I THEN WENT BACK FOR A SECOND FILL ON SATURDAY ( SEPT. 6). mY FILL NURSE ONLY FOUND 3 CC IN MY BAND.??? SHE SAID THAT IT COULD HAVE EVAPURATED ALTHOUGH SHE WAS CONFUSSED BECAUSE HOW QUICKLY IT HAPPENED. SHE ALSO SAID SHE MAY JUST BE REACHING AIR POCKETS IN THE BAND AND UNABLE TO RETREIVE THE OTHER 1 CC? SHE WAS ONLY GOING TO GIVE ME 1 CC TO ADD TO MY 4 TOTALING 5 , BUT SHE INSTEAD ADDED 2 CC, TOTALING EITHER 5 OR 6. SHE TOLD ME TO CONTACT HER WITHIN A WEEK AND IF I HAD NO RESTRICTION SHE WOULD FILL ME AGAIN AT NO COST. i FELT LIKE SOMETHING WASN'T QUITE RIGHT WITH THE SITUATION AND LEFT ON A WEIRD NOTE. SHE HAD TROUBLE FINDING MY PORT TOO, IT TOOK 3 TRIES, IS THIS NORMAL? AS WELL SHE VERY ROUGHLY SLAMMED THE NEEDLE AGAINST SOMETHING REALLY HARD INSIDE ME, SHE SAID SORRY AND ASKED IF SHE HURT ME, SHE DIDN'T, BUT BY THE SOUNDS OF IT SHE PROBABLY COULD HAVE EASILY. SHE WAS PUSHING SO HARD ON THE NEEDLE THAT HER ARM WAS SHAKING!!!! AND NOW MY PORT AREA IS QUITE SORE. I STILL HAVE NO RESTRICTION THOUGH. WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I GO FOR ANOTHER FILL RIGHT AWAY WHILE IT'S FREE? SHOULD I TRUST HER? SHOULD I FIND A NEW FILL NURSE? SHOULD I TRY TO GET A FILL WITH FLURO? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT. MY SURGEON IS IN MEXICO AND I'M IN CANADA SO A TRIP TPO SEE HIM IS NOT A OPTION UNLESS VERY SERIOUS. THANKS EVERYONE:confused:

THATS TOTALLY MY STORY TOO. TODAY IS MY ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY AND I HAVN'T LOST A POUND SINCE I STEPPED ON THE SCALE WHEN I GOT HOME. I LOST 14 LBS ON THE DIET BEFORE, AND 5 AFTER, BUT THE INCHES ARE COMING OFF. I WENT FROM A SIZE 24 TO A SIZE 20 IN A MONTH! AND I AM NOT EXERSIZING, BUT I AM ON THE GO, ALL DAY LONG. WEIRD! i AM GETING MY FIRST FILL SATURDAT TOO. I'M A BIT NERVOUS.
