    Hey, I need some help I have fell off the wagon so to speak. My weight loss has stopped and with the weather so cold I am able to exercise due to that and just being lazy.

    Plateau anyone?

    girl I am right there with you I have not lost anything for awhile. I had a fill and still have not lost. I am measure my food again and boy did I have to hit myself. I go Tuesday for my second fill so wish me luck.
  5. I have BCBS and was approved with fibromyalgia, arthritis, hypertension and sleep apnea. I am 5ft 2 and weighed 213. I had the surgery in January and now weigh 160. I am so glad that I did this. I now take no meds for any of my prior condidtions. The hardest part for me is exercise. I have four children that I play taxi to so I don't seem to find the time. I will say that it is not easy but I would do it again because I feel better and I look better. Oh, the best thing is wear size 8 clothes now when I use to wear 16 or 18. My BMI was 39.

    Ok, I need some help I had my band done jan 27 2009 I have lost around 55 pounds. I just had my first adjustment done on August 27, 2009. I really cannot tell any difference yet. When will I know if this one is working? Should I go for another fill?

    suggestions on morning restriction

    I have the same problem. I have to drink warm or hot liquids first thing. Then I can eat around 9 or 10 am. If I don't drink enough liquids I have trouble eating later too.
  8. I was banded on Jan. 26 with no fill and still have not had a fill to this day. I have lost 51 pounds so far. I go this week to see about my first fill. I am sort of stuck at this time and think it is time for my first fill. I feel very luck that I have not had a fill yet.
  9. I went through the same thing. I could eat what ever wanted. But when it changed it was like I hit a wall. I have problems with lots of things now that I could eat before. Be careful because it did change. Talk with your doctor. Don't get pulled into eating the bad stuff. My doctor told me this is when most people eat the junk food again. Stay with good foods.

    Sorry, I have four kids and everyone is doing some type of sport. This taxi service is about to run out. My sport is learning to eat before the games or pack safe foods. I am stuck with my weight loss. Any suggestions? I miss hearing from everyone, lets keep going here. I am at 40 pounds now with NO Fill. Imagine That!!!
  11. I did the same thing but it does change. I am 3 months out now and have not had a fill yet. I have lost 40 pounds. Still tight and loving it.

    Name Your NSV

    My NSV's are loose wedding rings. I had to get new clothes and underwear and my bra's are too big again. I have so much energy I have to keep my walk going longer. I even bought size 12 pants and had to sew a dart in the waist of the. My husband said take them back and get a 10 but my butt still needs the 12 I had to explain to him. LOL
