has anyone noticed that when you vomit its not like a real vomitting, at least not for me.. just curious...

I weigh myself everyday as well...when u work at a doctors office its so tempting to get on the scale..the scale at home i barley use go figure lol

can some one tell me how to post a new thread..help lol:ohmy:

I drink strong drinks every now and then found out no problem but I am done drinking for personal reasons..well religious reasons. I am not ashame of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Drinking is just not for me.

I am so sorry that you are going thru this. If u beleieve in prayer U can ask God to help you. And he will. I have no specific advice but to say thank God he did it before you got into years of marriage. I am not for divorce either. I have been banded for 1 year on Jan 21, 2010. Never had men trying to talk to me but now that i have lost the weight i have a lot of men trying to talk to me. I have met one and hes the one I want but hes not to serious. So I am an eotiional wreck becuase hes the only one i want also.... BUt I have to say to myself that I derserve better than this. You have to know that there is someone out there that will treat you just as good as the last one. But you wont know that until you let go. Be Bless and always know Prayer changes things!

Lol......this made my morning

Oh yes you are not alone. smile. its crazzzy but i guess its just part of the plan. Have you notice that your band is tighter in the mornings i cant eat until after 1 or 2

Thank you soo much for posting this message. It is very encouraging and helpful.. I have been so tired here lately but I vow to go home and work out. I know I can do it! Thanks again you are an Angel sent for me today.

thank you for your info. its encouraging to see someone at there 1 year annisversary and doing great it will be one year for me on 01-21-2010 and i am happy with my weight lost as well. i cant wait to get to the 100 lb loss mark. be bless nad congrats again

it will be a year for me on 01-21-10.. i started out 337lbs and i am now 256lbs..i believe i would be farther but i have been eating sweets and not working out. i havent worked out in 4 1/2 months .. but i am determenined to be at 215 by june of this year......You will be okay Im glad we are not were we use to be. Keep up the good work!

Awesome congrats u can do it

i was told that would lonly be the painful part of the surgery is the pain in the left shoulder..and boy oh boy were they right..... that pain is from trapped gas... it is normal after a lapband surgery it took me about 4 weeks before it went away. It will get better. but it hurts like a oooh yeah

You may need to have it loosen or give it a week to see if the swellen has gone down around the band....If you are still able to eat and not vomit u r doing good.

Alright Keep up the good work. Be bless

you look great just encouraged me to keep on keepin on i havent had a fill in four months but i know it time i thime im at 4.5cc but i will find our on christmas eve when i go in for my fill.... again congrats keep up the good work

I agree with everyone...please keep in mind that you did not come this far to gain all your weight back...they say we have an 12-18month window to lose as much weight possible; so for all of you who are counting your calories and trying to do it the right way it will pay off in a couple of years....for those of us who are eating whatever we like eventually it will catch up with us as well...lets all stay on track; for me it will be the first of the year. I have fallen off track, but I plan to lose 20 -35 pds by March 20th...and Yes I can do it at least I have hope and determination. smile.

Thats great news. What size did you start out at.

Your gettin banded on my 1 year annisversary date...wow..i really did not have to do the pre op diet..she only wanted me to lose 5 pounds. Well I wish you all the good luck in the world you will be fine.

I live in atlanta But i am from Portland Oregon.Dr Emma Patterson did my surgery. I started out at 337lbs I am at 257lbs now praise God

Congrats! I know the feeling. You will do great!

I have lost 80-83 lbs...up and down in my weight... but I want to be a size 16 by March 20 2010. I hope I can do it. I put a call into my doctor today for a fill sometime in Jan; its been 4 months since I got a fill. I dont know how many ccs I have so I am waiting for them to return my phone call with that answer as well. Well I hope to hear back from all of you. thanks, Monique:rolleyes2:

does anyone have certain times of the month where yo eal alot of sweets i mean cookies oreos and pound cake and still dont gain any weight?

i was off for 1 week and 2 days.. the pain in my left shoulder was sooo irritating for me and it hurt like well you know.

your doing awesome.I know you fel great keep it up what is your goal size?

the pain in the shoulder was the worse for me but i consumed protein drinks every 1-2 hr just a cough syrup size and it did the trick for me..my doctor wanted me to have protein before anything went in my system..atkins shakes are good or even the ones in your docs office
