    Hi Mona...... All I can say at this point is.........HELP! I had my surgery December 11, 2009. I did GREAT for awhile. Started at 261, got down to 153.........Then, in October of last year, I got laid off, went on paxil for depression and found out my thyroid was acting up again and was through the roof on the numbers. I have the under active thyroid, hence the reason I needed the lap band. Well, I have now hit a whopping 178 on the scale, I feel like crap, I've gone from a size 10 to a 14, pushng a 16, and literally, by the day, it feels like I am gaining. I was throwing up daily, now I only throw up at night or first thing in the morning from the intense acid. I'm seriously depressed and don't know what is wrong. I'm so upset. Deanna

    Gas

    Hey everyone. I was banded Dec. 11, 2009. I have found out recently that I am now lactose intolerant (SUCKS) and that was causing gas. I still have gas a few days later. Seems like a lot more often than not. HOW do I get rid of this? Gas-x chewables, Gas-x strips are not working. HELP! I am miserable! All I want to do is throw up to relieve the gas pains!

  13. So April 8th (my 35th Birthday) from 7pm-7am I have clinicals at Victor Valley Hospital.......April 9th is my birthday party from noon until probably 8pm for me, then April 10th I have ride outs with AMR in Redlands anywhere from 4:30am-12 pm.........Waiting to hear about that one! LOL Stoked, but OMG!

  14. Oh man I so don't wanna share what I eat on a normal basis, but then again, I know I need to do something! I have stopped on the weight loss, but have also stopped on the exercising. Meanwhile, I am so not happy with where I am at, I started at 238 when I was banded on Dec 11, 2009 and I am at 176 today. I have had 3 fills, I am at 9cc's of a 10cc band apparently. I have MASSIVE reflux and heartburn, almost daily. I cannot eat ANY pastas, breads, potatoes, veggies, cereals, oatmeal, grits, meats, tortillas, anything acidic, chips, yogurt, cheese.....I am trying to think of the never ending list of CAN'T eats. I CAN tolerate SOME soups, water (which I do not drink nearly enough of), ice cream, fish SOMETIMES, sunflower seeds (SOMETIMES), iced coffee with cream and sugar (SOMETIMES).........So, for lack of wanting to try anything else that will stay down, I eat ice cream basically everyday, at least twice a day. I mix it with half and half for more calories. Between that and the not using my treadmill or Biggest Losers game on Wii, I am SURE that is why I have come to a halt on weight loss. What do ya'll think?
