    If you have digital cable tgere is a little known jem on there...its an on demand exercise channel witb tobs of at hime videos. Also you tube has some and the exercisetv.com If I were tou I would invest in a few simple/cheaper things. A ketle ball being one and some resistance bands. getting started is the hardest but you csn do it!
  2. The feeling that your describing is when the vagal nerve had pressure put on it...i feel it when I over eat....it is def not a plesent feeling! It is very normal that being stuck would have the same sensations...

    How Did I Gain??? UGG!!!

    Actually caffeine is an appetite supressent.that's why diet pills are loaded with it! Caffeine can dehydrate you though...that's why we are recommended not to drink it. As far as the.op....try taking veggies or even almonds next time....or get a small popcorn with no butter. Popcorn is my favorite snack! Also don't weigh yourself every day! It will really start to mess with your head (i know from experience!)

    Post op help needed...

    The liquid diet is to help your stomach heal. When you eat ANYTHING your stomach contacts. The contracting stomach can then lead to your newly sutures band to come apart. The liquids suck byt it is so very important!
  13. Skin Tags are largely due to hormones. You can snip tge smaller ones...that's what a derm would do. The larger ones you can take a thin piece of string and tie it around the base of the skin tag. Snip the excess string so you can't see it. This wil cut the blood supply to the tag and it will die and fall off.

    To fill or unfill?

    I def wouldn't remove half of the fill. When I was over filled I had .5 ccs removed and was then again able to eat my solids and veggies. Its amazing what a little bit removed can make a huge difference!
  16. I don't crush my bc pills or my thyroid pills. They're small enough to pass through with no problems
  17. I was super late after surgery...and I'm on the pull so I was sure I was pregnant...haha but nope! Then I had the longest period of my life when it did decide to show up!

    Do you still feel emotionally fat

    Im so close to goal (wel sorta..would.love to lose another 20 after that as a bonus) and wear a 12/14 and I still feel "fat" its so crazy! I finaly weigh less than my skinny hubby and im so self conscios about him picking me up! I need ro wrap my head aroynd my new hott body I still look at women and think "of to be her size" and hubby informs me im smaller than her....hopefully one day....
  19. Today I made some yummy dinner and I just had to share it with you Stuffed peppers, mashed sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli and baked apples. I stuffed the pepoers with ground turkey chopped onion, garlic and mushrooms. I used 1 egg and some whole grain rice (1/2 cup for a lb and a half of turkey) and some low carb homemade bread crumbs ( I make a bunch and store fir later use). Mix all together and stuff inside peppers. I then poured low sodium v8 juice over the top and baked at 375 for 2 hours. You could def put in crockpot to chok all day on low. Hope you guys enjoy as much as my family did! Ps....i didn't eat more than my cup and a half of food....and it was hard to walk away! Haha

    NSV and it is only January!!

    Yay! I tried on a few VS suits the other day when I was buying a smaller bra. Ive never liked swim suits till now!
  24. Actually I think its t the opposite....i was on the smaller end in terms of weight loss...I've only had three small fills and have (in my opinion) perfect restriction. When you have less fat around your stomach the stomach is more sensitive to the fills.
  25. Ok need some advice here please.... I was banded 5/20/10 have lost 85 lbs to date (20 till goal!!!) Had my last fill on 11/8/10. I have 3.5cc's in my 10cc band. I have felt awesome up to today....eating less than a cup of food at a time and feeling satisfied for three to four hours. Ok that's my background...now on to my issue. This morning I woke up and had my normal 4oz of OJ and 6oz of thin oatmeal (i have this almost every mirning cuz I'm pretty snug in the morning) and about 15 minutes after eating I have horrible heartburn! So I have some milk (usually helps) and still had HB....so fastforward to dinner... Had HB aaalll day no matter what so for dinner I had thin soup. Nithing has tiuched the heartburn. MyQuestion is should I get an unfill or wait it out? Why would I get tight all of a sudden? Do any of you think it couldbe tightness because of my menstrul cycle (should start in like 5 days...) This Has just never happened so I thought I'd ask my friends on here. Thanks!!! Oh and nithing has gitten stuck or anything.
