Dilated/stretched Pouch...:(
I am so sorry this is happening...and you know we are LB twinz...:thumbdown:....I think I have the same thing...but with my insurance tripping I can't get a flouro to find out....maybe i should do a 30 day liquid diet too to see if that helps my restriction...because I mean at 8.2 ccs I should not be able to eat at all! Keep me updated....we'll get through this!!!!

Finally posting a "bandiversary" pic. I was a little upset that I didnt make my personal goal of 100 lbs lost. So here I am still at 187 but I'm not gonna stop trying to get to my goal. Although I think my body may like it here.

This is from 2006. I wanted to post this because this is a good comparison pic from then to now. I dont know my exact weight on this one but I think I was probably around 290.

BEFORE - This was in June 2006. I think I was around 290. This was at Universal Studios in Florida. I could barely make it around the park. I had the worst chaffing of my entire life!

BEFORE - This was July 2006 on a cruise AGAIN. Weighing around 290...I know how to disguise it with the clothes a little bit. Well..I don't think I look like I weighed that much.

BEFORE - June 2006 again on the second day of Universal Studios. I could barely fit on the rides with my son. I had to skip a lot of them because I didn't want to be embarrassed.

Banded May 4th. Have a couple of questions
Hi Jeff! Congrats and welcome to bandland!! Well...here's my two cents... 1. I would think that as long as the pill is not a capsule you can crush it, however, I would call the pharmacist and ask because some pills lose their effectiveness if they are crushed. I didnt get vicodin so I don't know (i had liquid lortab). 2. my advice would be to just try liquids for now. Don't even try the cream of wheat until like the third day...try sipping throughout the day on the Protein shake if you can to help you get it in.... 4. I didn't have any indigestion at all so I would think that it shouldn't last that long. Try chewing on a Tums and see if that helps. 5. here is the site to create your weightloss ticker... Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... Well....that's just my opinion....I'm sure you'll get more responses with more suggestions. Again, congrats and good luck to you!:thumbdown:

Banded for 7 months and now too much restriction
sounds like you are a little overfilled. this has happened to me on my last two fills...you should call your dr and see if maybe they can take at least half of it out (that's what i normally do). after i do that i feel fine. it is miserable not being able too eat hardly anything. i know when i am overfilled because every thing i eat bubbles up in my throat and sits there. i know how you feel...you dont want to stop losing the weight but you might end up being dehydrated and making it worse.... hope that helps! good luck!

How low can you go in 09 weightloss challenge#1
Once again I have no weight loss to report. I am so disgusted. I guess I am going to have to starve to break this plateau because exercising and drinking water is not working.

What do you all do?
I am a marketing coordinator for an engineering firm. I also have my own virtual assistant business, my own travel agency and a web domain and web hosting resale business.

Boobies...Shrinking?
I agree with everyone who said they would rather be skinny than have big boobs!....until mine started shrinking! I've only lost 50 lbs and it seems like 15 of those lbs came from my boobs! I went from a 42DDD to a 40D and still shrinking.. not to mention I've breastfed 2 kids so they are just basically bags of skin now. I didn't anticipate having to get them "fixed" but oh well...yeah I think I'd rather be skinny!

How low can you go in 09 weightloss challenge#1
I had a bad food week this week. I was doing so great after my fill and unfill now I think I am too loose again. I have not lost a pound since last week so zero for me. I plan to kick it into high gear at the gym this week and hopefully make better food choices! (stop the chocolate binges at night!). I wish I could stop getting discouraged so easily because I know I am still doing great but when I don't see the scale move it kind of bums me out. Good luck everyone!!

Anyone grown out of their size 16-18 clothes??
I agree! I like going to try on new sizes but I never really like the styles. It was so much easier shopping in the plus size sections because there wasnt many choices. Even though I LOVE my new size it does get a little frustrating. I used to have 65-75 pairs of pants and jeans in my closet to wear now I am down to about 10. This makes it VERY hard to find something to wear to work in the morning!! Now I am late almost everyday and picking them out at night doesn't help either. oh well....that's just my 2 cents....

Anyone grown out of their size 16-18 clothes??
I also just gave away all of my 22's and 24's (dang I wish I had thought of selling them on Craigslist! ) I am looking for size 14-16 summer clothes. I am in Atlanta so if anyone has anything please let me know. Thanks!!!

Dr. Richard Benavides @ True Results Dallas, Texas
I am also with True Results and Dr. Benevides did my surgery. I highly recommend him. He and his staff are very nice and informative. I was nervous because I flew from Atlanta to Dallas to have my surgery done but they made me very comfortable and its been smooth sailing ever since!:cool2:

Hi All, Well I had a bad food weekend. It was my birthday weekend (4/3) and I gained 1 lb. so I am back up to 235. However, I had a fill today and I am feeling pretty tight right now so hopefully that will give me a boost this month.
