Where is he located?

Hi Gang, Hope everyone is fine and well. I have a question. Does the lap band cause acid reflux? if so...what do I do about it? I've never had this problem before. Any ideas on what is safe to take? My Mom told me what she takes everyday but since we aren't suppose to take Aleve and certain things I want to make sure what I take is safe with the band.

I also have had a problem eating too much. I started tracking my food on SparkPeople. It is so easy, and helps so much. During the week I plan on tracking my food the night before for the next day. I also have a hard time after work, so.....no cookies or chips come into this house. Instead, I have jello, 100 calorie popcorn, sf pudding. Try the tracking and keeping the sweets out of the house. My husband supports my decision on keeping NO NO foods out of the pantry. Also..something that may help, when you are tempted to eat something you know you shouldn't, go exercise. Last night I wanted to munch on something soooo bad, I got on the exercise bike instead. This morning I am down another pound. I am determined to stick to my plan on tracking calories and exercising everyday. We Can Do This. !!

Have a Wonderful and Happy New Year. May the Lord bless you and yours in this coming year of 2009. Pj

Hi Everyone, I would like to get to know my bandster buddy's. I thought it would be nice to have a place where we could meet and discuss anything that is on our mind, and be here to support each other. I was banded in Aug. the weight loss has been very slow for me, which is all my fault. I plan from this day forward to track my calories and exercise everyday. My goal is to be at my ideal weight by Christmas next year.

hi everyone !! i have a few questions. do you count your weight loss from the day of surgery or pre op appt.? do you really measure your food? i don't. do you measure veggies too or just the meat? also...have any of you lost any hair? my hair feels thinner, and it really bothers me, just wondering if it will get back to normal again.

Last week....213.50 This week....212.50

Tami, that is great !!

Today I went shopping for a new Bra. I have never been so excited buying a Bra before. I am down 1 size....Woo Hoo !!! My Mom was laughing because I was so Happy !! :rolleyes2:

Awesome NSV's everyone. I can't wait until someone comments on my weight loss. Keep up the good work !!

1/2 lb gain this week. Last week.....213.50 This week.....214.00

WTG Claudine, that is great !!! :w00t:

Azlife, that is GREAT !! I know that made your day, sure would mine. Congrats on your almost 50 lb loss. WTG !! Maybe I should wear my clothes that I was wearing when I started diet, then maybe peeps would notice. I have size 22-16 in 3 of my closests plus clothes in storage bins in garage. My weight has always gone up and down...so, since I've lost I have gone down 1 size and wearing clothes that fit since I already have them. OH well...that will be my greatest day, when someone says something to me....waiting......:eek:

I won't be reaching my goal, but I'm very happy that I lost. Its been a struggle between my 2nd and 3rd fill.

Lindar !! That is Awesome! I have lost 33 1/2 lbs. No one I work with or anyone in my family has commented on my weight loss. It hurts. My son in Ga. will ask how much have you lost. I think maybe my co-workers and family nearby don't say anything because when I lose I tell them all and they say, that's great. So...I have decided not to ever say anything again unless they ask. I'm going to wait and see who and how long it will be before someone says...Pj you are really losing weight. :thumbup: I bet that made your day!!! WTG

Yum...chicken enchilada casserole sounds great, will you post the recipe plz?

I had a great NSV last weekend. Before my surgery my BP was very high, also I could not walk to the back of the grocery store without getting out of breath. Last Saturday DH and I went to a Fall Festival with GD to see her gymnastics class perform. I had to walk so far and I was not out of breath at all. That was so exciting for me !! BP is doing much better, should be getting off of it soon. Share your stories everyone, enjoy hearing everyones NSV's.

Happy Friday everyone. Last week....214.50 Today...........213.50 I am happy with the 1 lb, at least I didn't gain. :wink_smile:

You don't go back for 3 months?? I have a 10 cc band. Was banded Aug. 4th. I have 5cc's in band now, I go this Wednesday for 3rd fill. Seems a long time without a fill to me. Will your Dr give you a fill sooner if you need it?
