Good Morning Samurai's Well I am heading out for my 4 mile walk... I am off today and took your advice Casey... more exercise, more water ... more soup... added Benefiber....saw my dr... no fill... lost 9 pounds last month! Feeling good. Happy Easter everyone. @ April: How are you doing? I hope the unfill is going well for you. You look amazing... keep up the good work sis.

Appril you look great!!! Started off with Dot this morning. Can't wait for her to pack up her bags and leave :)I should be down at least 4 to 6 pounds because it it. I had a really great cup of veggie soup today with a shake. Can't wait for snack... Greek yogurt!

Hi SB I too have fallen off and went to my dr a little over a week ago. I was so embarrased to get on the scale... to see him...to have my bp taken. Everything made me feel awful. I have not been a great mommy to my band. I want to get my fill and a serious chat with him. He took me off of food... back to liquids for 20 days and explained very clearly that I did this and need to be accountable. But he was going to be there for me each step of the way. I have stuck to it... I still have 9 days to go. We can do this... I will be right here for you....and with you as we get back on track. I was banded sept 2008... I know the feeling. I am just glad I came back... I bet you are too.

Hi everyone, Well I have been in and out of the plateau stages. So much so... that my dr took me off of food for 20 days and I am back to liquids until the end of the month. I have lost close to 47 pounds since surg 9/05/08. But since then I have palyed with the same ten pounds or so. Casey I will take your advice... I love your menu. I need way more protein in my diet... and the fiber also. I will keep you posted Samurai's!!! Keep up the good work.

I have a 14cc also. I only have 4.5cc's in. I am due for a fill on the 20th of January. I hope I can get a little more restriction. I think I ate a house for the holidays.... but I walked it off. Curves

First I want to thank you for sharing your story. I am shocked this happen to you ... I was just showing my husband your photos this morning. Do the doctors know what caused the band to erode ? I have a 14cc band with 4.5cc in it. He said he liked a cushy band to avoid erosion. I wonder if you can get a larger band next time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay on the LBT boards. It gets me through tough Patches. You will come out of this funk... Pick yourself up, pamper your soul and eat lots of Protein until you can get a handle on all of this. Curves

Taking the Biotin 5000mcg was a saver for me. I make sure I have lots of Protein everyday and my Vitamins. Four months out and its has stopped ALOT.

I was banded on Sept 5th and I am 32 pounds down. I think we are all in the same neighborhood of weight loss. Congrats on you loss so far. Curves

Take it easy on yourself. What helps me is I keep a little diary... I also allow myself a cheat every now and then. You must get back to basics. When I feel that I am slipping ... I go back to my shakes and making sure I have 60-90grams of Protein a day. When I have enough protein in my body I don't think of the other junk. You will be fine... take one day at a time. Do not let your past define your future. Curves

Simply put: I thought food was my friend... it was there for me when times were good and bad. When I stopped smoking it became my BEST friend. I used it for any emotion.... now I see food as nourishment for my body and not for my soul. Curves

Hey girl... It's time to be fine in 09 !!! Slim is right... let it go... dust it off and keep it movin. I have not had a fill in two almost three months and still going up and down with three to four pounds. That is frustrating but I know I will never be 304 pounds again. We are in this thing together!! Curves
