how come whenever you do the risk free "trial" they sign you up until you cancel? I don't remember agreeing to that!

i just ordered my risk free trial =]! but i was just wondering if anyone has tried it with good or bad results! let me in on it =]

you won't want sex for at least a month (in my own experience)! I can't believe your doc said the same night ( I don't think that's a good idea at all, and i'm not a doc, but that just sounds painful)! good luck

ohhh there is just so muchh i'm looking forward to... having the hot guys check me out and not just my gorgeous friends (who i love 2 death). finding a new lovee...or re-kindeling my 1st (i miss him like crazyy...but i really don't expect that we will even see each other ever again...sad =[) to allow myself to feel good...i don't allow myself certain things b/c i think i'm to fat...like shopping for new clothes not having to worry about going down to my camp and getting in a bathing suit, going to a water/amusement park, swimming in my own pool...when other ppl are around, actually taking pictures of myself again...i really can't wait to capture those great moments with my friends that i haven't been able b/c of being embarassed...i usually dodge photos even now after 30lbs...maybe another 30lbs and i won't do it anymore ...who knows but i can't wait i know that i am on the right track...i have had my band 2months and 3days...& i have lost a total of 30lbs...if i could lose another 30 in the next 2months that would be awesome =] [but i guess we will just have 2 see]

before getting a fill i never used to PB, but once i recieved my first fill i started doing it a lot more (at least once a day). I think when you get a fill you need to adjust to the fill...and it just takes time. I am 3weeks out since the last fill and i don't PB anymore! But I do feel like i have lost a bit of restriction. (but I am still loosing).

I find your comment humorus, if you read the back of any labeled food container it will tell you that the caloric intake is based on a 2,000/cal diet. Yes, 2,000 calories a day is considered normal but everyone is different. Some people's matabolism is a bit slower/faster than others and therefore they don't lose/gain weight on the same amount of calories that others would. Obviously, you will have to find the caloric intake that will work for you and eventually you will more than likely have to reduce your intake to produce the same results. I'm pretty sure the doc. knows his facts, I'm not sure why you would question him because to me, and i am sure to many others as well, his facts check out with common knowledge.

wow jenn you are doing so great...keep up the good work =]

thankss everyone

So this kinda weirds me out...one day i will get on the scale and it will say that i have dropped a pound or two, maybe 2 or so days later i will get back on the scale and i gain them back. then maybe about a week later the same thing will happen i will lose about 2lbs and i will stay at that weight for a while and then i will lose another pound and gain it back then lose it then gain it back...and this process goes on 4 eva. This seems like it may be confusing so lets have an example. week 1: (Day one: 210)(day3: 208)(day 5: 210)...then at some point stabalize at 208lbs then lose 2 and gain it back then lose it again...and eventually stabalize at that weight...then the process repeats itself! is this normal? i know i really shouldn't even worry about this, but it bothers me a little bit!

congrats!!! I'm close 2 hitting my 30lbs mark...but not quite there yet i had surgery april 6th 09

don't beat yourself up...just get back on the bandwagon tomorrow...you should allow yourself at least one day a week to relax and have a little of something you had been dreaming about whilst working out on the treadmill or something! Just look at the success you have had so far, just keep up the good work! everyone enjoys themself every now and then =]!

also...some of the time when i drink a bit of water right after swallowing food...i get a PB..and yes drinking while eating after the band is technically a no no (sometimes i can't help myself)...but i am quickly learning not 2 since it hurts so bad when i do drink while eating...it sucks lol

yeahh i had a PB in public last night...wasn't so bad...i just got up and made my way to the bathroom! I'm still learning....it gets better everyday =]

If I slime or PB, or both am i putting my band at risk for slippage or other problems? I have been getting a lot better about not sliming or pbing (just a learning process), but i have to wonder if i am doing damage when i accidently slime or pb?
