I too use KAPIDEX and it works great and quick. I was able to get rid of my 10 pillows.

I usually say I recently eat and still full. I do tell people I was dieting, so they begin to expect weightloss and it also helps me to make good choices with I am with friends and they just thing I have gain super-willpower.

I am happy where I am now as I aproach my baniversary. I am in overland. :smile: and hopefully within the next six months, I will be at goal. The slow losing has been frustrating, but my doctor said it would be a slow process, which in the end is better.

I have had some bad time with eating and drink. I dont even want to anymore. Hurts to much.

Why do you have to have a removal?

No sure were you are in Kansas bubblegum, but Olathe is having a marathon on the 28 of March. That may be too soon, but I am going to do the 5k there.

I get pressure in my head also.

I like to have a hot drink before I have breakfast. I have Hot water with Lemon and Honey.

I am a slow loser too. My surgery date was May 20. At my highest I weighted 257. Date of surgery, 245, and now 222. Total 35 I TRY not to be concerned: I hope that being a slow loser may save money on plastic surgery. Maybe most of my skin will adjust to loosing slower. --at least that is what I tell myself. I loose in spurts. I will stay at the same weight or fluctuate 2 or 3 pound. Then I wake up one morning and I have lost 5. My mother is the same way on Weight Watchers. We lose about every 3 to 4 weeks Nevertheless, I feel better. Moreover, some weight is better than none. This last fill made me really tight. Don’t eat much now.

What exactly is onderland???

Hi - I am in Gardner but work in Lenexa. I would love a buddy. Send me an email at jobina@kc.rr.com

Did you or how did you know you had slipped? What does it feel like?

My weight and shoe size change with each child I had. I had some really cute and pricey shoes I purchase before husband and kids that are in the basement because I cant get into them anymore. I had a shoe funeral 2 years ago. I tried on each one hoping for them to fit so that I could justify keeping them in the closet. I hadto bare over 50 pair. I am one of those girls that thinks if you have on a great pair of shoes, you really dont need anything else on. I would love to be able to reincarnate them.

I too was banded this day. The last time I say my surgeon, he asked me about my hunger and while I had good restriction, he gave me a small fill to help with the hunger. It has worked.

Do not be discouraged. I do not know if this will help but… I stop saying next Monday and I try to start fresh the next meal. That way you are not but a meal away from being health. Forgive yourself and start being health the next time you take a bit. Same with your exercise10 minute, that is ok.

I had mine done a month before you and have had a few fill and only lost 22 lbs. I constantly remind myself that this is not a quick fix. One thing that helped me because I was at 18 lbs loss for 3 weeks was going back to the basics. I read all of my pre-op diet materials and kind of started over. I have had a hard time exercising, but I reminded myself that I not doing this to be skinny, but to be health and exercising is part of being health. I found two walking buddies. I thought there is if I am accountable to someone else, it may be motivating. Cause if I could count on myself, I would not be here. Therefore, since I went back to the basics, and began exercising, just last week, I have lost 3 lbs. Hope this helps Do not give up ... Never give up. You can do it.

I had the gas pain to, but it did take several months before it went away, and it sometimes returns for a few days after a fil.

Hello ALL, I am from Kansas and was banded May 20th and I have had 3 fills since. I have lost 18 lbs. I am still excited about this experience, but not doing well with exercising. I have a husband, 3 kids, a full time job and working on my masters. I don’t want to loose weight to fast, for I am going for the slow and stead approach, but was disappointed when did not loose any weight in between my last fill. While I am glad that i did not gain, it was slightly frustrating. My goal for next week is to try and at least get some type of exercise activity in. Wish me luck. PS – I was able to get a weight track, but do not know how to get it to post on the site. Can anyone help with that by providing instructions? --Thanks Chat with you soon Take care, ME
