I'm not failing. I've lost almost a hundred pounds, feel great, look awesome and have my condense back. I'm just saying what I eat. That's all. I'm dating hot young men and enjoying my sexuality!! It's awesome!!??????

I eat all that crap and can't fight the urge. I'm weak like that. I still think fat. This an addiction. I'm having a hard time eating properly. It seems like a lot of people follow the plan out if fear. I wish I had some of that.

Go back to doc. You are way too tight!

I was never told NOT to drink coffe. I have a big cup everyday and I would drink it anytime as much as I want and never have problems. I had my surgery over a year and a half now. I was never told to stop drinking coffee . My doctors are well known, so its not like they dont know what they are talking about.

I had surgery in Oct 2008 and lost 85 lbs so far, about 30 to go. I just got my 4th fill last month and now Ithink I feel looser. I told my the Physician Asst that I had been experiencing a little heartburn since I had been PB'ing and she said she was only gonna give me a 1/2 cc. Well, since then I can eat more and I cant throw up. Not that I want to, but if something feels stuck now, I cant get it out. My question is: Has anybody felt looser AFTER a fill and able to eat more???? This is pissing me off, cause Im not losing and keep goin up and down 3 lbs. I can finish a tuna sandwich without feeling uncomfortable. Yet, I cant eat a slice of pizza or have Chinese rice. what gives? I know, I know.I shouldnt be eating that stuff, but can someone answer my question?:laugh::wink2:

Rice is a slider food???? Lasagna and spaghetti?? I know we are all different, but those are not slider foods for anyone. They are foods that you can tolerate and eat without a problem. TRUE slider foods are mashed potatoes, ice cream, anything that literally slides down your throat without chewing, but is high in calories and fat.

Relax and calm down!! My fills didnt take until the 3rd one. Up until then, I had no restrictions and was working on will power alone. It will happen, dont worry.

You look beautiful.

Hi! I was actually getting scared thinking I had lumps in my chest and realized it was bones I hadnt seen or felt in years! My hip bones are poking out and I LOVE it! Ive always been bottom -heavy, so since Ive lost 85 pounds, my butt feels soft and so do my thighs. Supposedly, it takes about a year and a half after you have reached goal for your skin to adjust to your new body. Although, I willl never be firm, maybe with exercise, some of this extra jiggle will firm up. But, Im not complaining, believe me. Hell, plastic surgery is always an option. So, I welcome those lumps and bumps. Bring 'em on!

LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU. I EAT TOO FAST, TAKE BIG MOUTHFULS, AND DONT CHEW CHEW CHEW. BECAUSE OF THAT, MY BAND GETS FULL, NOT ME. I JUST CANT SEEM TO DO ALL THAT, SO I LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT I DONT GET THAT FULL, SATISFIED FEELING THAT YOURE SUPPOSED TO GET. IVE LOST ABOUT 85 POUNDS SO FAR IN ABOUT A YEAR AND LOOK AND FEEL GREAT. SO, IF U FOLLOW THE RULES, YOU WILL FEEEL "FULL AND SATISFIED" AND U WONT EXPERIENCE PAIN OR GETTING STUCK. HONESTLY, BECAUSE OF THE WAY I EAT, I RELY ON THE STUCK FACTOR. IT WORKS FOR ME. TO EACH HIS OWN. GOOD LUCK!:w00t:

What kind of doctor are you going to? Its time to change to someone who knows what they are doing. That is not how a fill is supposed to go. I lie down, my doc or PA feels for my port, has me do a little situp, inserts the needls, I feel a little pinch, hel fills me, and there is a little pressure when pulling out the needle. Its not traumatic or painful. Yours shouldnt be either. Find a new doc. Good luck!:w00t:

I agree with you. I never heard of that kind of incompetence before. It must be horrible. I dont drink anything, get no x-rays and feel a pinch, thats all. I think she should find a new doctor to do the fills.

Amen, Sista! Sometimes, family or not, you have to get rid of bitter, jealous, negative people.

People like this, whether they are family or not, should not be allowed to bring their negativity into our lives. Your sister sounds like a very sick person to punch you in the stomach. I have a sister with a lot of issues and because of that, she is stressing because of it. Just because they are family, doenst mean I have to tolerate that behavior.

Spicy foods WONT be out after banding. I eat Hot and Sour soup all the time. Unfortunately for you, this is a problem. Maybe something was wrong with your band, because Ive never known anyone to have their band swell shut from soup. I can eat anything I want in moderation with no problem. Ive lost 84 lbs so far and going. Sorry to hear about your issue with spicy food, but it doesnt mean its gonna happen to everyone.

I eat everything, just cant eat alot of it. The band isnt a death sentence. I've lost 82 lbs since Last October and I, as well as everyone else can eat anything. Certaind things might not go down so well, but you learn as you go. :drool:Good luck.

AMEN, S:thumbup:ISTER!

Sorry to say this, but your sister is jealous of your success and and angry with herself for not doing it. She obviuosly has a lot of issues with her own weight and because you were brave enough to do what you had to do, shes having a hard time dealing with that. Talk to her about it, explain to her that u have the same struggles, but you chose this to feel better, look better, na have more self-esteem. Also assure her if she ever thought about having this surgery that you would be 100% behind her and support her all the way and that you would apprciate it if she did the same. My sister, believe me is a nut, is morbidly obese too, but I hafta say she tells me all the time how good I look. If this is cheating, I wish I cheated 5 years ago. Im so happy with my weight loss and no one can ever make me feel bad about why I did this. I dont give a shit what anyone says and u shouldnt either! Good Luck!:frown:

Dont take this the wrong way, but it seems like your boyfriend is trying to sabotage your diet. Maybe he is feeling a little insecure about you losing weight and looking good. Thats understandable, but for him to bring home junk food knowing that its a struggle for you to resist it, seems really unfair to you. Why dont you sit him down and explain to him how this makes you feel and if he loves you and respects your wishes, he will eat his junk food somewhere other than your home. Which by the way, is unhealthy for him to binge as well on the weekends and that garbage isnt good for your 11 yr old to eat eaither. Good luck

I use Isopure Perfect low carb in vanilla and chocolate. Its delicious. I add frozen berries. You can get it on www.vitaminshoppe.com. I pay 35 dollars. If you go to health food store, you will pay at least 50 to 60 bucks.

Amen, Sister!!! My thoughts exactly!

Im gonna be blunt here. You should have told her to mind her own fuckin business and not be concerned with why u are having ANYTHING done. You didnt have to answer any of her questions. She had no right to interrogate you like that and you should have reported her. Maybe she should work on her relationship with her overweight daughter, cause with a mother like that, its no wonder the kid is overeating. Good luck!!!:cursing:
