I need to get help from someone who can tell me or suggest to me how to get through the evening and night time hours without eating too much. I am on Jenny Craig and I am pretty much stuck on a 50 pound weight loss. I gain a pound or two and then lose a pound or two. I am going CRAZY! I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I ride the bike for anywhere from 5 to 8 miles, do leg presses, do excercises for my arms, all and all about 1 hour worth of gym duty. I have to go back to my doc next Tuesday and I am scared to death that he is going to make me feel like a total failure. My husband works nights and I have my dinner around 6pm. Around 8pm or 9pm I have non'fat yougurt with blueberries. Then I come in my room and get on the computer. My desire to snack goes absolutely bonkers. Sometimes after I have been asleep for a while or around 2 or 3 am I wake up and want to snack. What is wrong with me?? Am I just a total flake or what??? Any suggestions will be sooooo appreciated. Hope to hear from someone soon.

So they cleaned up the scar tissue instead of banding you? I know it is a dissapointment, but don't give up on your dream. It WILL happen. Remember we are here for you. :bored: Good luck and God Bless you.

Thanks everyone. You have eased my mind and given me another reason to respect my doc! I feel much better now. You are all GREAT! :bored:

Hello all. I had some blood work done about 2-3 weeks ago. I went to my dr after the results were in and my test numbers were not right for my gallbladder. (By the way I was banded on 12/9/09) My dr ordered an ultrasound on my gallbladder. Can anyone give me a heads up on why? It hasn't been that long since my surgery and I had no issues with my gallbladder before surgery? I am worried because I am not sure why this was ordered. :thumbup: Any help out there? Thanks December Bandster:redface:

Where are you all meeting? I would like to attend. I have been looking for a support group to be with. :smile2:

I was banded on 12/9/09. I have lost about 10 lbs since surgery, 50 lbs all togeather.:cursing::thumbup:

Let me know what you find out please. I can't even get my tickler to show up for the FIRST time.:thumbup::cursing: Thanks.

Hi there ! Congrats on getting banded. Remember it is a "Journey" not a "quick trip". As far as exercise plans go, if you want something that will make you confortable at first I would go with Curves. It is only for women and (I have gone to Curves) the women who do go there are generally very supportive. When I went I lost several inches along with going to Jenny Craig. Once you see that working maybe you will be confortable enough to go to the gym on the base for free. If you are going to have to move with the service, you should always have a gym available to you. I belong to 24 hour Fitness. I used to be uncomfortable going to the gym because I thought everyone was checking out every one else, but you know what? Everyone was too busy checking themselves out in the mirrors to worry about anyone else!! LOL. No, really it is true !!!! Good luck to you, I hope everything goes well for you.

Great Story !! I printed it out to put on my fridge, on my vanity mirror and where ever else it will help me remember. Thanks for sharing your story, I am sure you have saved several of us from the situation.

If you have a CVS Pharmacy near you that is where I buy my liquid tylenol.

Ya know getting meds in liquid form is expensive also. :wink: I take several medications and to get disolveable (sp?) pills is very expensive and I take an antibotic every day and the liquid form is quite expensive. There are some "hidden" cost that you don't think of to begin with. :crying: By the way, if you CVS pharmacy, I buy my liquid tylenol there. Good luck with your fills coming up. Stay well.:cursing:

Everyone seems to be getting fills alot more quickly that I have gotten. I was banded on 12/9 and just got my first fill on 2/19 and it was 2cc. Some banders get their first fills within 2 or 3 weeks of surgery. Has anyone had to wait a long time? I have a dr appt 3 weeks out from my first fill. I don't notice any difference between having my fill and not haveing it. Well....Maybe a little bit, but can still eat what I want maybe not quite a much. I am just feeling like I am doing something wrong or something. I have a large band in place 14cc. Anyone have one that large? Please give me any info you can. Thanks.
