  1. Happy 39th Birthday Foxxy!

  2. 2 years have passed since you registered at VerticalSleeveTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary foxxy!

  3. Theres no secrets. Just eating healthy and listening to what your doctor/nutritionist tell you. Read around the boards a bit and you'll see. Good luck!

    Totally devastated

    Girl, just laugh it off. This is not easy at all. It takes alot of focus and a lot of will power to keep it up. Im proud of the measley 18 lbs I lost. I hope you know that I consider you a role model as I struggle to get to your point. Be proud, dear, be very proud!:frown:
  5. Not a waste, it happens. It can happen to gastric bypass patients too, look at Carnie Wilson. Anyhow. they would have to check via xray to make sure. When you eat alot even after you really are full there is the chance you can stretch it. but it sounds like you just may need more restriction. Talk to your doc and see what he thinks.

    My Fills Nightmare

    If I were you I'd ask for a partial refund and/or another year since they did screw it up. I'm happy that you finally found out the reason for no weight loss. Blessings on your journey!
  7. :thumbdown: maybe you stretched your pouch. Have them check it!
  8. Yes. Yesterday was the first time I really realized how much, but its all gravy to me. My BF took me and my son out for Chinese food for Valentine's dinner and I ordered the shrimp with pea pods, normally I can clear 2/3rd of the the plate, last night I think I had like 6 bites and I couldn't eat anymore. It was a bitter sweet moment because I've found restriction and because I really wanted to eat more!! But I stopped. The psychological aspect of it is sloooooooowly coming around for me. It's hard, really hard because I still think I can eat alot, but I've been trying to listen to my stomach rather than my head and stopping when Im full.
  9. Hey!! I just had my first appt this past monday and I am so glad I did. Dr. Watkins is very nice as well as the ladies there. I wasn't getting fills at my previous dr and was not very successful so I decided to find somewhere else and Im happy I chose them. Hope to see you at the support groups one day!! :thumbup:

    Fill #3 Today!!!

    :thumbup:OH MY LANTA!!! You said it! I had my 3rd fill yesterday, switched drs cuz mine former dr was bein stingy, and I think I'm finally gonna be able to use this dang thing!! LOL!! I actually felt it tighten when the dr gave me my fill. It put a smile to my band! LOL! Hope it goes well for you all!
  12. I did. I cheated on day three because I was so effin hungry. I boiled lentils and then blended it to a paste, put it through a seive then added more chicken broth. Not like this was a big deal, but when I drank it, I thought I was gonna pass out because it got stuck and made me so nauteous. I didn't do nothing after that because I was too scared. I know how hungry you get but just try to stick it out a bit longer, you'll be ok!

    Is this normal???

    Try drinking a bit of hot tea to open it up a little. It tends to be tight in the mornings and especially since you just got a fill. :sifone:
  14. Hi! I drink the Smooth Move Senna Tea. It works well for me! The taste is blech! But add a little lemon juice and its all good. I buy mine at CVS or Walgreens.

    I messed up...

    I really haven't had too many problems with drinking carbonated beverages, I try not to drink pop because of the calories, but I do drink the flavored water. Anyhow, I guess it depends on the person. Good luck!!
