Im 27, I had my surgery in 4/2006, I was 220lbs (I'm 5"2), and i'm currently about 145lbs. My goal weight is 115 to 120lbs. It probably would have been their, but I had a pretty busy schedule and goin to the gym was not a high priority, I'm hoping to reach goal by the end of this year. I only tell close friends and certain family members....its not peoples business.

i am suffering with the same thing, i seriously pb (not throw up because it's just slime) at least twice a day, i hate it and it sucks, and sometimes i have difficulty with liquids, coffee was coming up the other day, i haven't had a fill in months, but due to the stress i'mmunder i guess an unfill would be wise, i also have a sore throat, i'm not sure if this is because of pb'ing or cuz i'm sick... i seem to have the best luck eating in the night reyna glad i had a place to vent

do you typically take the gas x before or after the pain starts?

hey guys i had my surgery over 10 months ago or so and i typically find that i still have shoulder pain in my left shoulder, sort of like the pain of gas when i first had the surgery done, well this pain typically comes i guess after i eat "too much" is this the way my band is telling me i ate too much? everytime i take a breath in i feel it, it is bothersome.... anyone experience this? and what can i do about it? sometimes i still am hungry or do not have that full feeling yet when it happens thanks reyna

hey guys so the last time i checked in things weren't going to great..i think maybe i was saboating (sp) myself! we'll i feel like i finally have control!!! i am eating great and healthy no fast food, working out, and i have lost almost 20lbs!!! i am 2lbs away from onederland!!!!! i'm sooo excited...i finally feel like my life is changing!

i keep reading how people can't eat bread or pasta or rice...i have 2.5cc in a 4cc band and i can still eat bread and rice ...pasta is a no go...it doesn't hurt as long as i chew it well.....do you think i might not be as restricted as i could be?

thank you guys, i was banded in early april...i'll keep trying to bum up my workouts, and my clothes do seem to be a bit looser, i'll start taking measurements and see how that goes...it's jsut hard when everyone keeps asking you "how much have you lost????"

hi guys i've been feeling kinda of discouraged lately, i haven't seen the scale move at all...i just got my second fill so i'm at 2.5cc in a 4cc band, and i wish i could feel that "tight" feeling that everyone is talking about, i still feel like i don't have enough restriction, is it just in my head? i've been going to the gym about 4x a week, doing about 5ominutes of cardion and 30 min. of strength training, everyone is telling me that i'm just gaining muscle and not to worry, but i wonder...should i take down the strength training and up the cardio? did you guys ever find a time when the pounds just started coming off? i eat my protein and then veggies, but know i could eat more...

thank you,....i will definately keep all that in mind, i'm just waiting for my clothes to get looser! well i guess i should get rid of the yogurt and find more filling foods for my breakfast

hi guys, so i had my fill last wed. and i typically weigh myself once a week, and i weighed myself this last week and i haven't lost anything. i'm kinda bummed out, is it because i don't have enough restriction? i've been working out consctenly (sp), and doing my best to get in my Protein and veggies. I have found myself pb'ing if i don't chew my food enough. So i don't know i'm thinking about switchign up my food and trying to exercise even more than what i'm doing, do you think i should get another fill? or should i wait another week and weigh myself and see from there? i know a lot of you say it takes a couple times before you get to your sweet spot, i feel like i'm eating much less but still, too much , you know? any tips? should i try focusing on more solid foods? i like to have oat bran hot Cereal for Breakfast...and yougurt, should i maybe not have mushies?

hmmm weird i take 50ml of zoloft once a day and find i still have a sweet tooth! bummer

hi guys i finally got my first fill today! 1.9cc in a 4cc band, i'm pretty excited , i weigh in tomorrow, i've been working my butt off in the gym and been following proper portions and what not...i hope to see some weight loss in the next several weeks, the fill was so easy, no worries thanks for the support i'm off to the gym!

thanks for the input guys, i'll try that 20 minute thing and see how i do!

you give me hope!
