THANK YOU!!!! I have been searching for someone with your success. Thank you for posting exactly what you do and what you eat. Though my loss has been fast compared to others it is not fast enough for me. and now just over 4 months out I have really noticed a huge slow down in my weight loss. I need to kick everyting up a notch. Thanks again for posting you really made my week.

:smile2: Huse, All you need is a fill or two. don't give up and try to rember that even though you can eat it doen't mean you should. I am wondering if there is any food that you can feel your restriction on? If so eat those types of foods more. Also you have to remember DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING DURING OR AFTER MEALS FOR AT LEAST 45 MIN! This is a huge key that takes time and practice getting used to. when you drink with a meal or after you wash down the food that you really want to stay in your upper pouch for that full feeling we came down this road to achive. Good Luck!

Lynn and Scrappy, How much does it cost for a full body lift or a regular tummy tuck? Will you be brave and post before and after pics?:smile2:

I am so inspired by all of your pictures! Everyone looks amazing. Today is 3 months and 5 days out. I feel wonderful and people are finally starting to notice. I went from a 32 to a 20! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself I only wish I had the guts to do it 10 years ago! I am 33 years old...I can't even imagine what my life would have been like if I had this done earlier. Most likely even more of a blast just a bit less embarrassing and in better clothes.

I can not wait to be at the point when I can get a tummy tuck...btw I can't spell :bored:

So many March Bandsters! Is anyone else hitting a platue?

:rolleyes:I love being cold. I was always the first one to sweat and be hot before anyone else. I used to dread going into stores because I would sweat so much that my hair would be drenched in a matter of minutes. Now I keep my house set at 76 to 78, I freeze at work and I hardly ever sweat (I live in Arizona) and I love it.

I am so getting this done! after I loose all my weight of course.

It's not sugested that you get prego for at least a year to give your body time to loose weight. truely though once your body looses the weight they say your cycle levels out and bing bada boom it happens. thats what I am praying for. Its why I had the surgery and I feel WONDERFUL so far.

So when the Dr warns of throwing up too much is he talking about PBing? What is too much. Is it only throwing up if stomach acid is involved? I PB almost every day. I had my band installed March 20th 2009 it is now June 24th 2009 and I have lost 84 pounds. I have so many questions. What is normal. How do I know if I have slippage or have streached my pouch....How much food am I suposed to able to eat? am I loosing weight fast enough? Can I loose it faster? What about extra skin? Oh by the way I need to update my signature. Also how do I attach my ticker from the ticker making website?

How do you add the weight ticker to the bottom of your profile?

Is sliming throwing up? Do you only count actual throw up with acid as throwing up? Can getting ride of the food in your pouch cause slipage?
