I thought I knew but after further reading, I clearly do not know! So what is it?

Claire sweetie-- It is ok! As long as you haven't progressed to solid foods you are fine! As for that annoying fear, it will get better, some. I am almost 1 year and still worry sometimes. But you will learn as you go and feel more confident that you are doing the right thing! Good luck!

Girl--before you do something drastic like having it removed see your Dr! Talk frank with them and COUNT calories. I was also amazed at what things REALLY add up to! You can do this, you want it, so tell them to help you! Also keep a food journal and SHOW it to them! Tell them you need to know how to make this work for YOU! Everyone is different, you may need more of a fill! Talk to the experts! That is what you pay them for after all! Good luck and keep us updated!

11...11....11...fall off...fall off....fall off NOW!

ROTFL....I said that exact thing to the tv!

I am so sorry you are having this problem. I would also ditto telling you to bring him to a seminar. But also I wonder if he is afraid that you actually can do it with surgery and that scares him. Anyone that says this is the easy way out should eat sh*t roll over and die. It is not easy! lol...Worth it, but not easy!

Hello ABC bandsters! I have been absent from you all for so long! How have you all been doing? I have had some struggles, but feeling great. I am feeling like a normal person now. Although I wish I wasn't obsessed with the scale or everything that goes in my mouth. Anyone else feel that way?

I love BB! We have the Showtime, but I find it rather boring so far...I am sure it will get better! I am loving HATING Jen. I have never hated anyone this much before on BB. All I see is bad things happening if she gets HOH...b*tch....lol...

Hey guys how are we all doing? I am still in disbelief that I am under 200, scale sat for so damn long....lol...says I am 195 now! We can all do it!

Va--wooo hoo girl you are on your way! Rock it out sister! Welcome to the skinny side! Soon you will be out of the 18's and down lower! I am not mad it moved (I think..lol..) I am mad it took so long and really scared it is not real! lol... but it happens to me EVERYTIME....I stay stuck forever and then I scheduale a fill and loose..why?????

I am still 40 pounds fom goal and have a huge amount of loose skin. Mostly in my stomach area. Once we have decided whether we are going to have more children or not I am going to get a tummy tuck. I am so sick of the roll of skin..... blah.... :cry

Nat---wooo hooo girl you can do it! Drop those 3 pounds like a bad habit baby! Thanks for the kudos! The Carnie thing had me rolling! I am so freaking pissed off today, but no idea why....lol.... I dropped under 200 to 197! For a freaking month I sat at over 200 and overnight I drop???? Ugh....I am convinced it is not real. Anyone else ever drop a TON so fast?? (like 7 pounds) Va--ENJOY the quiet!

I do the same thing here at my favorite coffee place. I get iced coffee and I am very particular about how it is made. I always tip, and now my favorite girl makes it for me. I have even seen her do it for me off the clock because she knows that I have to have it a very certain way. Tipping can get you much better customer service!

Brandi--- You freaking rock! 13 miles!! Woo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations girl, we are all so proud of you! :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Ok I posted this on before/after pics as well, but wanted to show all of you. I did this really for me because I have been feeling like complete sh*t. This makes me feel better! lol...

Hmmm...I am not sure how they design them! I just did a week an at an amusement park, and if it is any consolation I know some there were over 44". I watched everyone...lol... I got back on them all and it felt great. Try one on! Good luck!

Welcome! Congrats so far and here's to your continued success!

I also didn't have good restriction until my 3rd fill. My Dr told me that it would be that way. It will get better! Something that helps is to also make smaller plates whether you think you need more or not. For me getting up for seconds is no longer an option. It helps alot!

Welcome Dave! It was a pleasure chatting with you and your gal last night! Good luck to both of you!

I agree Tootarts, you are being too critical on yourself. It is bad when we do it! You have to think about where you came form, and where you are going! 50 pounds is a great start! Don't be embarassed, be proud. Someday you will look at it and never believe that was you! Good luck!

You could be getting pain in your chest because you have eaten too fast or not chewed as well as you should. I promise you it will get better as you get used to your band and your body. You will learn to trust that feeling. I have never had that feeling like Thanksgiving full. Which is what I thought full is as well. But once you know what your body is telling you, it gets better! I am ALWAYS tight in the am. I drink my coffee cold now, and that helps. But I can not eat before 10 am or so. :hungry:

Nath--Happy Birthday tommorow! Enjoy your cake girl, it only comes once a year! You deserve it!

Stacie You may be dealing with head hunger and not REAL hunger. That is a tough one to overcome but you can do it. Do you ever feel a weird feeling in your throat? For me that is restriction. Signals me to stop.

Except they get paid an average of 2.80 an hour....big difference there. And if you tick them off they can screw with your food....lol...

I did that last night for the first time last night, so fun...
