That is too funny that someone would even say anything the nerve of some people omg i think i would have shoved the pretzels down her throat....

lmao this too funny!!! sorry had to laugh!!!

This sounds like me i was banded April 23 and only down 30 pounds and recently from giving up on myself :wink5: i gained 5 pounds back sucks ubber booty!! i only have myself to blame though smh!! oh well what am i to do now!!! Ive had only 3 fills since surgery and i have no restriction whats so ever and i have not gone back to the doctor out of shame... :thumbup: So I just decided to get my ass in gear and start doing what i gotta do and at least lose those five pounds then i will go get a fill...........So far i pat myself on the back i been busting ass working out and eating the way am suppose to... So here is your kick in the ass.... no procrastinating and go and get a fill and do what you gotta do so we can do this!!!

Okay this is my first time doing a challenge i need to stay focus and motivated since i feel i fell off the wagon..... So i am so ready to do this!!!

I had the same problem, i went to the emergency room to get CT everything looked okay!!! What i do now is wear i something tight like my spanx to avoid my belly from bouncing around.... I haven't had that problem again!!!

Hello LB peeps, right now I feel so full!! I had my second fill on June 29th I currantly have 2.5cc in a 10cc band. All I had so far for Breakfast is: 1 slice 100% whole wheat bread 2tb natural Peanut Butter, and some slices of banana smashed on there... Is that too much food, and could I be stretching my pouch?

I drink an organic smooth moving tea and on the box it does say that it's a laxative hmmmm :thumbup:.. I wonder if that is bad for me????

This really helps!!! :tongue2:

okay thanks a bunch everyone! I feel so much better no one at work knows that I been banded, but one person which happens to be my best friend and we work together and she made me feel like i was a cheater for joining.....

Okay, at my job there doing this biggest loser challenge, and i was wondering if it was considered cheating to join because I am banded?

THanks for the advice :thumbup: I will wait and if I still feel the same (no restriction) i guess imma have to get tough and aggressive!!! lol... jk

A little fustrated that I only got 1cc at my first fill appointment, and I have no restriction whats so ever... i have read a few threads on here about how some get like y like 2 or 3 cc's I don't get it:confused: I stick to eating my 1/2 cups of food, but I get hungry like an hour later any suggestions anyone????

WOW!!! I had my first fill on June 1 only 1cc doc said I had like to 2cc in my band right now from when they did surgery??? So, yup right now I feel no restriction what so ever........ that blows!!! Oh well I guess I just have to wait and see for the next fill on June 29th..

This helps a lot, I too was getting a little discourage but after reading this I know now that I am on the right track!!! I was banded 4/23/10 Haven't gained and I haven't lost. I am proud to say that on my own i was able to lose 24 pounds before my surgery.... =) Thank you Coloradobanding!!!

I am suffering i think from gas pains right now!!! i am 6 days out but the pain is in my lower right side back and it hurts when i take deep breaths... any advice anyone please?

:thumbup:CONGRATS!!!! DRINK ON AND DRINK ONE FOR US LAP BANDERS!!!

I have struggled with losing and gaining weight for most of my life since I was a teenager. My highest weight at one point was 247 at 5ft 1inch yeah that is a lot of weight!!! I have come to a point in my life that enough is enough and i reallized that i need to be healty and all i need is a little help so that i don't give up on my self once again. I look forward to meeting friends so that we can help each other especially when we have are struggling moments.....

I been on the liq. diet for 3 days now and I have to say it is very hard!!! I think what I struggle with the most is head hunger cause with the shakes I reallly don't feel hungry but i am getting tired of the sweet taste in my mouth.. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with head hunger?

:glare:hmmm!! Yeah that was kind of weird!! Mine eval took like 3 hours and also took a test. Well hopefully when you go next week it will be different... :smile2:
