Thanks guys:) I am lovin this band. I will say the weight loss is slowing down and I knew it would. I am losing about 2-3 lbs a week now so Ive lost 130lbs so far and I am 7 months out of surgery so you can see its slowed down but i am not complaining. I have also relaxed a bit with my eating. Thats a good thing. I dont want to diet for the rest of my life. I am making healthy food choices and letting the band do its work too. I am also feeling great. I now know what energy feels like YAY. I dont feel trapped anymore. Its a miracle plain and simple :thumbup: Good luck to you all too.

I agree. Running hurts skinny peoples knees after years of doing it. Me at 334 lbs ( Ive lost 130lbs so far whoo hoo)wow my ankles would break and my knees would give.not to mention my boobs would give me black eyes LOL but someday when Im at goal weight I may give it a try.

Im gettin frustrated. I cant change my ticker. It changed on my profile but not when I post anything. I cant figure it out.

15,000 with one year of fills:)

I just love ya You are awesome!

Finally, the owner of the company donates a great deal of money to American terrorist organizations of the sort that shoot physicians who provide women's health care services and bomb clinics. WHAT!!!!!!!!! Gary Heavin is a christian buisness man who also supports pro life. how does this make he and his company bad? I think that was so off the subject.

is taking a long coarse of antibiotics (6 months or more) harmful to the band like antiinflamitory meds are?

I personily think It all depends on how much you have to lose. I have 270 lbs to lose and in 4 months I lost over 100lbs. Its been 6 months and Im down 120lbs. It is starting to slow down now but I expected that:)

Morning noon and night:(

Pita works good for the crust too

I have lost 120 lbs and only went down 4 sizes:( I have alot to lose though

lobster and crab are so good ya dont need the butter although I have crab once a week and I drizle just a little over all of it.A little goes a long way:)

crab legs and lobster are great for you

sorry I didnt explain myself better. I do eat vegies too I was just useing an example. Ive had 6 fills with my last on being a week ago. I eat the right things and feel full but it just doesnt last. I dont think Im too full cuz I just started feelin restriction with this last fill.

I got my fill about a week ago and I havent lost any weight. I get full easy ( half a chicken breast) I can eat anything also. My problem is Im starving in about 2 hours. I dont drink after my meals and I do eat the right things (most of the time) Should I call and schedule another fill?

I agree about the booze Lots of calories

If the band is working right you wont be able to over do it too much. have a piece of cake if ya want it. It is a vacation. just dont stop moving. There are so many things to do that its hard to sit and just relax. Do an awesome excursion when youre off the ship. If you are going to nassau go check out Atlantis. I go on vacation there and I can tell you all the walking and slides, and aquariums that ya have to walk to see. Wow I lose weight when I go LOL . Very fun. Just enjoy yourself and treat yourself too:) Just my opinion.

I can eat all that stuff so I do a healthy version. I use multi grain little size pita with lean burger some good smoked cheese and a little ketchup or mayo. Its really good. I also use the pita for pizza. Use good sauce with cheese and turkey pepperoni. It tastes the same. Its so good.I love pita I also use them for the base for pouched eggs. Another of my favs:)

my upper body and face including my boobs. My butt and thighs are still huge:(

oops sorry I meant to say I was 450lbs and a size 36 jeans.

I flew to the bahamas with my children and hubby a year ago and I was 350lbs and 5'10' tall I asked the flight attendent as soon as I went in for a seat belt extender. She gave me one with a smile. I sat in an isle seat with my 5 year old in the middle seat with the arm up the whole time and we where both comfy. Not a problem at all.

Everything is fine. I got a fill so we will see how this one goes. He said it could have even been my period.

well I have been banded for 5 months now and have gotten about6 fills so far I think I have 8cc in 14 cc band. Im freaking out cuz I thought I finally got restriction 6 weeks ago with my 6th fill and all was going great untill about 2 weeks ago. I can eat anything pretty much. I dont get it. I am so afraid of having a leak because Im selfpay and cant afford this. I see the doc in the morning and maybe he can tell me what is going on.

I dont agree with these posts. My God how many snow days do you have? 2 a year have a dang cookie and some hot cocoa LOL I know there are alot of traditions to give us excuses to eat but pick a few ya love and do them.

whats wrong with asprin? I still take an 81mg for my heart. Should I not be?
