breaking up with your scale....too funny i weigh every morning. if i skip a day thats a good thing. im way to focused on that number.

im having small frequent burps. last night i had to sleep in my recliner and that has never happened after a fill. the burps would last at least 3 days but it never interrupted my sleep. i will def call the doc ofc tomorrow.

glad you are feeling better with the unfill for those of you who were too tight did you have any pain? i have no pain just the constant burping. its after hours now but i will be calling in the AM tomorrow. in the meantime i just wanted to see how those who were too tight felt.

i just got a fill yesterday and i feel the gurgling, constant burping...i too am hoping its just the swell after a fill. i really want good restriction but not in a bad way. if its not better by thursday i will be going in on friday to get some out as well.

never tried it but my gym just started offering so im going tomorrow. i will post after im done.

i totally agree, i just wish we were as chatty as we were pre-band. it really made going into sugery alot easier to have that extra support. i got another fill yesterday and im hoping it just the swelling that is causing the extra burps etc. i really want to hit my goal, i think that will be just what i need to keep pushing to being under 200lbs.

i was very scared to get my first fill and im not a baby when it comes to needles. as all the other posters said it was not bad at all. as of yesterday im on fill #5.

hey i posted on the july board but it is a little slow over there so i will post here too. start weight -345 bandiversary goal- 245 about 10 weeks left before my bandiversary so im going to try to hit it. good luck

hey lisa (and all who view) i, like you, had started snacking like crazy, i mean serious snacking, all sliders too. my goal was always to lose 100lbs by my bandivesary. that is still my goal. i have about 10 weeks left so i think thats more than enough time to hit 245. this is a good thread too. we can see how many people hit their first year goals just like we all did the countdown on surgery dates.

i would like to join in too. i would like to lose 13bs by the july 4th.

reach 100lbs lost...i feel like its getting harder. im trying not to settle for what i have lost so far.

hi still 262 this week, guess i enjoyed myself too much on mothers day. good luck everyone

hi leigha i tried adding myself to the spreadsheet but was unable to type anything in it

congrats shelly & hot tea im 17 pounds away from 100 lost, im hoping to reach that by my band date. my goal for may is 7 pounds, im being more realistic than my former months. i use to set goals of 15-20 pounds a months. what was i thinking????? good luck to you all

hi all i am down 83lbs, i was banded on 7/23. im happy with the loss so far but i know it would be alot better if i was more firm on myself. i exercise great but i do eat 'bad" things more often than i should. i set a goal for myself to lose 100lbs my 1st year & i still think i will meet that. i think its great that some of you have already lost 100lbs. i can't wait to join the club.

i just started buying the Believe protein drinks...i really like them so i plan to drink 1 when i know im low

hi...i want in too im shooting for 252 so 10lbs

congrats to you...hope to join that club one day

i lost 19lbs frommy day of surgery to my first fill.

great advice....i need to take pics more often. i always hated taking them before but i actually like taking them now.

hi...i have the mirena and my period did start back after i was banded and started losing. im not sure if its weight loss related or surgery related but either way it came back....bummer. im close to my 5th year so its time to have the mirena replaced. hopefully that stops them again.

amy that was great, well said mommaforchange....i second guessed all the way up to the day before. the morning of my surgery i felt it was right. you have to go with your feelings. i was a professional junk food eater lol....and im not that person anymore. i still have cravings but its all about changing your habits. i wish you well on your decision

i love cheese too especially M.J....i would hate to give it up too

pw-267 cw-264 got another fill, think im finally at the sweet spot. total weight lost 81 pounds

you look great, congrats and i can't wait to join you
