Thanks 2 Lose Fluff I've been doing good at the gym I went 4 days this week miss 1 day cause I wasn't feeling well due to a cold. My reason for getting the lap-band was to get healthy. I wanted to get off my meds I was taking, 13 pills a day. Now I only take 4.

ok I am excited last week I went to the gym 5 days in a row. I went to the gym this morning and plan on going everyday this week. I have been watching what I've been eatting and I feel very motived and I really think you guys are to blame. So thanks for helping me back up on the band-wagon.

Thank You! I will save your post and read it every day for encouragement. Good Luck to you. :eek: YOU CAN DO IT!!! :thumbup:

Hi I have been trying for the past 3 months to get with the program. I was banded Dec. 11 2009, my highest weight was 300 lbs I was down to 232 about three months ago. Last time I went to my gp I gained 7lbs. Everyday I say this is I am going to do it and the the afternoon comes around and I eat things I should not be eating. I joined a gym three months ago and haven't been there yet. When I went the doctor my colestoral was up and my sugar levels Each day I start out good and before long I am a failure. I don't want to go back on meds for sugar and colestoral. I have read alot of your stories and I am grateful I am not alone. I will keep trying.

What kind of shakes are u drinking? I buy Matrix Vanilla Mix at the vitamin shop and I add whatever I feel like with a cup of almond milk. Like a teaspoon of sf chocolate puddings or sf pistachio or sf cheesecake pudding. I sometimes add sugar free frozen fruit and blend it in or a quarter of banana. Sometimes I add a spoon of decaf instant coffee. I enjoy my shakes. Sometimes I have a shake before I eat and I don't eat as much.

Do you have problems with your nails? I have had a problem before being banded with weak nails, splitting, and breaking, and now it is really bad.

:sad: Congrats to you and your family Tracy!!! Happy Mothers Day to All you Mommies!!!!:confused:

Yes, the same is for me. I have a shake in the morning also. It seems about 10:30 I get hungry, I wake up at 6, and then after I eat, I need to eat every 2 hours till I eat dinner. After dinner I feel full till the next day. I really don't like feeling hungry during the day I want to get a fill. The doctor would not give me a fill last month. :confused: Next thurs. I go for my next appointment.

Now I am excited I just realized I lost 66# and have 66# to go before I am at my goal. So I am half way their.

Anthony good luck tomorrow with your surgery. I will keep you in my prayers. Viv Happy Birthday to you. Tracy way to go.

Thank You Lisa. 6.5 is what I had last month I felt restriction in the beginning and then went back to only some. This fill I got yesterday, and they used the xray machine for the first time. Doc said he thinks I should be good. I am on liquids, but I am not even hungry.

3/11/10 My 3 month bandiversary had a fill. Now I am at 7cc/14ccband I have lost a total of 58 lbs since last Feb. 09, 2009.(10#before surgery) I have been off my diabetes, cholestrol, and reflux meds since the surgery. I went to my primary doctor tues and had blood work done. My blood pressure was great. The doctor office called yesterday and I was like something is wrong, they only call when something is wrong. They told me everything was great. I was in the normal range with everything. I am feeling great. This is the best I have felt in a long time. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!

Thanks for sharing It sounds great.

Are you ok? What happened? Did you chew enough? What was it that got stuck? Sorry I'm asking so much I am afraid to get stuck.
