Thanks I appreciate all your responses. I feel like it's come to a screaching halt... I know everyone is diffrent but I needed to ask. Thanks Again

How much weight did you loose in 6 months? I'm trying to figure out if I'm on track or if I need to ramp up my efforts.

Never been stuck surgery was 10-16-09 sometimes if I eat to fast I feel bad but never stuck

Hey Red

I'm so very sorry about your daughter I hope she gets well soon.

I'm glad I came out tonight and read these posts I was feeling very much the same way like I'm teetering on the edge of failure I had surgery October 16, 09 and lost 35 lbs and seem to be stuck right there over the last few weeks I only weigh in once a week or so but haven't seen much change lately. It helps to know I'm not alone and that this seems to be a rest stop on this journey we've embarked on. I'll be checking back more regularly and see how everyone is doing and I hope we all get over this hump. *smooches*

addition a new day 02/04/10 -

Just to let you guys know I'm wearing size 18 jeans today I feel better thanks again

I've lost 35 lbs and haven't changed clothing sizes yet.... I know my shirts are getting bigger but my pants I can slide them off but I can still where them..... I want smaller clothes.:thumbup:

I've lost a total of 30 pounds, 5 were post op. so I feel like I'm doing pretty good.

If you couldn't loose them before you shouldn't loose them after... They are all yours.. LOL

J-I,

Small clarification. Disagreement is not flaming. Flaming is a deliberate, hostile act of a personal nature...which my post was not.

.

I think the point Elfiepoo and I were making is this band is not mind control it's portion control... I'm pretty sure one string bean isn't a band buster, yes becareful my all means but don't worry yourself sick. She is only human and so are you.

Don't let anyone scare you into believing that you've done something awful.... if you chewed slowly u should be fine. As far as your will power food has a power of it's own surgery doesn't remove it's power over you, it's there to help you learn to control it. It's not instant, and it's not fullproof. Be easy on yourself, and keep trying

:sad:Sooooo... I'm all for getting smaller but my boobs are shrinking and there is no advice or anything that will fix this. I would cry but that seems shallow... so I'll just .... SIGH loudly

Went to the doc today to get the first fill and he said nope not this time.... amazingly he says my loss is good right now and that if I start feeling more hungry then when fill but not now.... arfff??? I thought I had to have a fill to have restriction does anybody not have any restriction and still done ok?

I was so worried about today but I feel better now after several weeks I realize I really can't eat that much

I ate Mexican for lunch and right now my stomach feels like it's on fire. I feel like I ate hot lava. Help me please !!!!!

I have 5 incesions and ther were stiched internally and glued on the outside I actualy perferred that

thanks everybody i do have to cook but that to me isnt huge but food is social for me

I won't get my first fill until December and I'm worried that thanksgiving will ruin the progress I've already made.

I have the lapband and it was implanted empty and my surgeon says I won't get a fill for 4 weeks til Dec to make sure I heal before we do anything else

I'm glad your mom decided to help you out. Good Luck

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one my cheats have been mostly small I was just chewing on saltines until saturday when I stole a small piece of baked chicken from the table I chewed it for what seemed like a half an hour but for the most part I'm doing ok the Pickle Juice hasn't called me yet but I've greatly avoided them. tonight will be a challenge I'm going to visit my in laws and my mil is a feeder.

I can have all of those I was having an episode last night I wanted layers of flavor not just liquid but I'm better today gonna have my cream of wheat for Breakfast ( I held out last night) and my favorite creamy Tomato Soup for lunch and see what happens for dinner.< /p>

it sounds like lots of my last week peeps r feeling the same way i do i think im head hungry today i am dreaming of cheese toast

Thanks I think I'm gonna have some thin cream of wheat

I am sick of Soup I have 8 days left on my liquid diet I've had soup, Jello, pudding, protien shakes I need something more. Anyone have any ideas or am I stuck here for 8 more days.

Thank you I was looking at all the pics yestarday and just had a hard time thinking of myself 80 lbs lighter at least. But your right I can do this hell I've come this far rigth
