1/2 a mini bagel is my limit but can do without it. Don't miss pasta or rice. Have sushi without it. Piza once in a while as well as cf

Sounds like you need some out. Call yor dr and talk to him/her

I was told the elliptical and weights at 4

WOOHOO YOU GO GIRL

good luck and welcome

Hi Reexamine the reason you started this journey. Make small goals for yourself. Go back to the band rules. Change up your food choices, change up your exercising and journal. Will it work, I hope so. I was banded in 2010 and lost my first 80ish lbs the first 18 mo. Had issues last summer and this. Had some taken out . Had some put back in 1 week ago and starting again using the the above advise i am giving you. losing slowly. Good luck you can do it.Good Luck wendy

i get tight when i have respiratory stuff. If your worried call Dr tomorrow. Most Dr don't believe they are connected but enough people here feel differently. wendy

Tomorrow is a new day. Start all over and follow the rules. Start journaling. Lots of us are on my fitness pal. You have taken the first step by stating out loud and taking responsibility. It's not too late. Remember why you are doing this. Don't give up Wendy

never heard of band causing kidney stones. I have had them but not since the band. I believe what your asking is why isn't the band controlling your appitite. It is too soon. You are still healing. Once you get the fill you may see a difference. It takes a few fills to see big differences. Now is the time when you are practicing the band rules like chew chew chew, not drinking during meals and cut into small pieces. Have patience, journal measure your food. Good luck wendy

Mt problem like everyones is you cant check profiles or use the camera on the chat at the same time without freezing

can't find the walmart brand at any walmart

What ever scale you get - don't go crazy ( spoken from a scale obsessed). Weigh youself on your scale and then go to the dr and weigh your self there . That way you will know how they differ and can start tracking better that way wendy

Every "body" is different. You have no restriction yet so you maybe hungry. Listen to your dr rules and don't compare yourself to any one else. Each of us has our own journey. Things will change after your first fill. Something else you will hear over and over again- Just because you can doesn't mean you should. wendy

Congrats being a role model is such an honor

Journal and you will see maybe where you can switch things up. Do you exercise? That can help too wendy

It does get better. And you will survive we all do. This phase really suc*s. All your feeling is totally normal. Get up slowly , drink your water, and your shakes, walk and do it again the next day. Before you know it you will see why your doing it. If you are making your drinks from powder theres so much you can put into it to make it taste like a treat(ish). I put powdered sf jello pudding(1 tablespoon) in my mine when i have a shake. Good luck sounds like your doing great. Wendy

wendy2317 on mfp ill friend you wendy

Mine lasted 1 mo off and on. It is from gas. I does go away in time. Keep drinking and walking.'Wendy

My pouch went over the band got an unfiill and waited 10 weeks had a slight fill and doing fine.

Switch up your exercise. I do the elliptical too but I have also added weight training. The food choice sometimes need to be switched up as well. Wendy

Yup noisy noisy noisy. At the worst possible times too. wendy
