ok so i had to use the RR and after i was done i went to button my pants but realized i never unbuttoned them. i guess i might need to go shopping soon.

hi losers LW-310.6 CW-304.6 loss-6 i think i might finally be at a sweet spot. i had 2nd fill on 9/1 and some restriction just kicked in. im calling the dr today though b/c i have questions on calorie intake. good luck, keep moving

i need to know if this is normal or have you experienced it. i will be calling the docs office tomorrow as well. i had a pineapple juice for b-fast because i have a sensation in my throat and had a very lite lunch. i have not eaten anything since. its now after 10 and im just now hungry but of course i dont want to eat so late. so question is do you think its normal? i know we are supposed to eat less but this seems like starving to me. im not hungry though. like i said im calling the doc to ask as well but just wanted to ask ya'll too. thx in advance

mine lasted abt a week and a half, two weeks at the most. it finally just went away.

good advice all, i need the papaya pills, thx i was never told to go back to liqiuds after a stuck episode, how long do ya'll stay on liquids? the mucus feeling is horrible, yuck.

i had this...around my calves. i called the dr because i was concerned about clots too. they told me for some people its normal something about electrolites (sp) but i went for an ultrasound anyway. i was fine but if you are concerned you should ask to be seen.

has anyone had any issues with flying with the band. i heard that because of being so high some people have issues..plz share your experiences

my primary dr only brought up the band we never discussed bypass. when i met the surgeon he toldme to choose. im sure i might have had faster loss with bypass but this is what i felt most comfy with. its our decision period.

i couldn't agree with you guys more...i was able to get down to 290 on my own then went back to 345. i think once i hit my first goal of 275 i will really get excited. but dont get me wrong i love that the scale is moving down. i just want to see a number i have not seen in a long time.

not sure when i last weighed in here...but im at 310.6 now. i'll start keeping better track and posting every monday

Since Banding I've Lost a cinder block

my goal is to eventually walk 5 miles a day. i'll be glad when i can wak 5 miles in less than 1.5 hours

have aetna gained weight during 6 month diet, still approved

you can add the link to your favorites, that way you can update w/o scrolling...not sure if anyone posted that yet

you are approved, good luck

well i had my 2nd fill on 9/1 up to 5.4 cc, i was actually hoping for more but thats just me. anyway i get really nauseous after fills but it goes away after 24 hours. i hope i have more restriction now, i didnt have any before.

i take vitacraves-gummie for adults once a day calcium-viactiv caramel 3x a day im not a pill person anymore

i never new a scale to do that...i need to ask my dr if his does i guess this falls into a nsv soooo....im getting the best sleep ever. i have sleep apnea and i never used the machine or anything. well i have NOT woke up with a headache since i had the surgery. i use to get them every morning and i knew it was because i wasn't getting any rest at night. now im getting rest and feeling better.

i work out almost daily, i hate it but i want the weight gone. i have not started weight lifting yet but after my second dr visit i plan to.

i have an iud too, but i have never heard that it will slow your weight loss. i need to look into that.

hi all i gained 5 pounds when the swelling went down and my appetite came back hard. i have 4cc in a 14 cc band and im still not at a good restriction. i can eat smaller portions just not as small as i'd like them to be. im at 2 cups of food and i know i should be at 1 c. after reading these boards i know its normal so im trying to not let it get me down. hang in there and once the fills start the weight will start to come off. it took me two weeks after my first fill to lose some weight. hang in there

i've added my info as well. im looking forward to getting to know everyone and reaching goal.

i want to join too...i have been waiting for a new challenge to start. please post the details and where the thread will be located.

just thought i would share. i saw an ad for these so i looked on the walgreens website to read up on them. for those who take multi-vits these are gummies for adults. the pills are just too much for me so i'll be trying these. Vita Craves Complete Adult Multivitamin Gummies | ONE A DAY | Walgreens
