I've been wondering the same thing, I've been suffering alot from reflux

yes mine always hurts when i've eaten too much or (which is weird) if i'm hungry and really need to eat!

sounds like you're doing great!

i cant believe i'm just now finding this thread! oh well better late than never :laugh: my weight loss is still going good. i'm just frustrated with food. i'm such a picky eater, so what i can and want to eat is very limited. i get so frustrated, either i know the food is going to be hard going down, or i wont like it. so i get tired of trying to think of something and i eat Cereal. i'm so burned out on all the things i used to eat. ugh. other than that life is great. i love my band. i've been working out this year. trying to tone up. my arms are really bothering me. i just dont know if i can get them tone enough, i sure dont want surgery. and i can actually JOG on a treadmill now! love it! and i love hearing all your stories! GL everyone :smile:

I've lost almost 50lbs, and my sex life still sucks. Maybe one day it'll be better...

yeah it took me 6 fills, it takes time...

I always heard biotin is good for hair growth. I have some, but haven't taken yet.

dude thats like 10lbs a month!! that is nothing to be ashamed of. most dont even lose that much 3 months out. i had my surgery in aug and i'm just now down 45lbs. you're doing great.

Congrats and good luck!!!

Just check and see what a healthy BMI would be for your height and that can help determine a goal weight. But I would check with your doc too. I determined my goal weight by how much I weighed when I thought I looked "normal", lol. But I'm gonna have to wait and see when I get closer to my goal, because I can't be for sure I'll be happy when I get there. I might want to lose more, just never know until I get there and see the results!

im 5'7, have lost 43lbs. i did go down a size, but they're tight on me. i thought they would be normal fitting. it can be kind of discouraging. and some places sizes are different. at cato's i can wear a 22 comfortably. lane bryant 22's are tight, but wearable.

wow i never heard of the nose dripping! lol. i hiccup when i'm done, thought i was weird, but i guess not!!

It felt like the most horrible heart burn I've ever had, not in my throat but in my chest. the pain was so awful in my stomach, it would go straight thru to my back. i was misdiagnosed for a year. something as little as gallstones, lol. it was put off as acid reflux. but i was persistant, i knew something else was going on. usually the burning pain in my chest would cause me to vomit cuz it hurt so bad. i too went to the ER once, i thought i was going to die, i didn't know what was wrong with me. the nurse asked me on a scale from 1-10 how bad was the pain,, i said a 10!! he looked at me like i was lying, and asked me was i sure, had i ever had children?!?! i said no i haven't, so to me, this is the worst pain of my life! jerk! needless to say i left there with no help. just keep pursuing it if you think you have a problem, get that sucker out of there! haha

i used optifast during my liquid stage. the chocolate ones were the best, vanilla ok, strawberry was gross.
