Its been 2 yrs for me too and i have lost about the same amount . I figure I should have lost more but have not been very good on my dieting . I say everyday i will do better but not yet. still trying and still exercising. . congatulations on your weight loss

I'm sure you are okay. My doctor tells me if you think something is stuck drink a pepsi something carbonated just a drink or 2. He says it will wash just about anything down. I haven't had any problems and glad but i need a fill really bad and i have transfered to another doctor don't see him till sept 28 . hopefully i will get one then cause i feel like i can eat as much as i did before my surgery but i try and watch what i eat. but if i had stretched back out maybe they can go back in and move the band some and do all over . but i think every thing is okay or i tell my self that. My weight loss is slow but my husband tells me i have been lifting weights and walking for about 6 weeks know and doing my wii and he can tell I am starting to shape up and get my figur back and really looking better but the scales are not going down just up a few pounds but i try every day. and going to try harder. so i hope you get yours figured out and things are okay. ucdep99

I have the wii fit and i love it. You can do so much with it . ucdep99

Yesterday had 2 turkey sausages for breakfast. lunch 2 taco's and dinner 2 taco's . they were good home made with low fat beef. so not so bad and lots of lettuce on them. ucdep99

Staying the same for 2 weeks in a row, upped my exercise and have started lifting weights and walking and cardio and alot but have eaten out of control alot hopefully i will get my fill this coming week. ucdep99

We all have the full problem but hopefully i will get my second fill on next friday. I am scared i have already stretched mine out but have to wait and see next year , they say they x-ray it only once a year to see if it has moved. I have been more hungrier lately than usual but that was due to not getting my second fill last month on count of the doctor said i didn't need it but hopefully i will get my this month cause i have put on some weight but i am working on getting it off as usual. oh well better luck later on ucdep99

I don't know anything about whats going on. but i hope everything goes good. You are where you are suppose to be and we all will be thinking and praying for you and your friend. ucdep99

Yes I understand how you feel, I weigh my options all the time but i look back and see the other wls and I know i chose the right one for me. You just have to put your mind to it and go with it. and work it as good as you can. I get frustrated a lot about the slow process but where would you be with out your band. keep going and doing a good job. stay with the program and keep on moving. ucdep99

Just remember the more fills you have the tighter your band is going to be and the smaller the whole will be for your food and liquids to go thru . You are suppose to have liquids for 48hrs after your fill. but you should just sip your drink . ucdep99

I do believe you can eat every 2 hrs on your liquid diet or full liquid diet . they want you too cause your not getting that much. I did good with mine until i hit the real food. and I feel like i eat too much and my family tells me the same thing and i measure it out and i can have a cup to a cup and half at a meal . I'm at a cup a meal and I eat 3 meals and usually a snack in the evening but i feel like i'm overeating. I only loose about a pound a week but the doctor said thats right on schedule. But i get discourage about things so slow. but i look back and say where would i be with out the surgery. ucdep99
