Yeah toe cramps suck... But the front of the calf if it cramps sucks cuz you cant strech it out u just have to suffer till it goes away.

Increased my Water intake yesterday and so far no cramps while I was sleeping... but I was always on the verge of getting one if I stretched wrong... I have started drinking my Protein again I havent done so in a while so hopefully that will help since it has a lot of potassium in it....

Has anyone started experiencing leg cramps??? I have noticed that: 1. my band has tightened up for no reason...(mybe Tom related) 2. I'm hungry but have no appitite....will eat 2-3 bites and just not want anymore. Let me know if anyone has this happen to them and what to do about the cramps....

Yeah TOM is coming so that could be why....

Has anyone experienced your band tightening up for no reason...One day your fine and the next BAM your super tight???

slowly but surely I am losing the weight.... Cant believe it's gonna be 1 year in 3 months... I would never have been able to lose 40+ lbs with out this life saving Lap Band Thank you Jesus for my life back !!!

I feel it in my hands feet and stomach I swear my uterus feels like a beach ball.... So cant wait till I'm over this month.... This month has been rough....

I have noticed that this month it feels like that... I can feel my uterus this month it's painful never had this happen before weird. Plus I gained like 7 lbs this past week they say it's Water weight I sure hope it goes away soon and I get back on track...

What does an average woman gain during her TOM does anyone know??? I've gained like 7 lbs Will it go away after it comes???

I work nights I dont have problems counting my food since I dont eat during the day because I'm sleeping... still losing weight consistantly no problems at all...

I take a multi vit... additional vit D and an iron supplement but I'm still tired...

OH OH Oh........ I have been banded for 8 months now and am eating better and getting moving more so WHY do I feel lethargic? I mean I eat well get my Vitamins, sleep well 6-7hour a day (since I work nights) and am active... I dont know why but I should be feeling more energy with a pep in my step but all I wanna do is lie down and sleep... SIGH

I'd say 1-2lbs per week is normal/healthy. I was banded in Aug 2010 and have lost 40lbs thats about 5lbs a month at about 1lb a week so even though I could probably losing more I am happy at this rate I dont have a lot of saggy skin. But everyone is different their amount to lose metabolism and such...

WHOO HOO!!! I was able to add a 4th charm to my bracelet today to equal 40lbs LOST!!! It just so happens to be a turtle... Cuz I am a slow looser, but a looser no less

YES!!! i was hungry when I woke up from surgery... I was expecting not to be hungry but alas no such luck.

Oh sorry I didnt read the last line.... If you cant keep even liquids down you need to see a doctor ASAP even if it's and ER doc... I cant even begin to say what could be wrong as I'm not a Doctor but the fact that your vomiting and cant even keep Water down is not a good thing... Hope you find out what is going on and get it fixed.

DAILY?? I dont go by daily weight loss it can be discouraging when the scale fluctuates so I only weigh 1 time a week and count that... I lose an average of 1-2lbs per week,...

Could you be too tight??? Try getting an unfill... That may help...

That was me just 1 week ago... I was stuck everyday, PB'ing, vomiting I couldnt eat real food only liquids like Soup and yogurt. When I did try to eat solids I would be ill so I basically gave up an all solids for a month until I went to get a large unfull and now I feel so much better, I can eat and am actually losing more weight then when I was only doing liquids.. I suggest you go. Ack to your doctor and request a bigger unfill. I dont understand why he wouldnt do it, I mean its your body not theirs your the one who has to live with the constand vomiting and getting stuck. I too was getting depressed but am so much better now. Don't give up go get your unfill you'll feel so much better you dont have to suffer in silence.

Good luck! Hope everthing goes as you hope it will.

I feel inches lost is a better measurement then the scale... I mean people tend to look at your size then they do how much poundage you lost IMO...

Julia I was miserable!! But thank goodness I'm better now...

i too was too tight for 6 weeks... Dont wait to get an unfill no reason to live in that misery.

Sounds strange huh? Well I've been over filled for the past 6 weeks and had to resort to eating Soup, soup and nothing but soup. Every time I would try a solid I'd slime and vomit. It go to a point where I got so depressed I'd dream of real food. Granted I was loosing a good amount of weight but thats not the reason I got the band to ONLY eat soup or liquids. Needless to say I got a whopping 2cc's removed today. My Doc said my previous restriction level was perfect, I said sure if ALL I wanted was SOUP!!! He was willing to unfill me did it under Fluro so he knew how much to take out, I felt immediate relief. It was like a weight was lifted off my chest. I really didnt realize that for 6 weeks I was living with this tightness in my chest and constand slimage in the back of my throat. I can eat now and not be scared. I am concerned about weight loss slowing down or stopping so I just need to be more mindfull of what actually goes in my mouth now. No more high calorie Soups just to meet my daily calorie intake. I feel good now

Actually I just got a very ordinary link bracelet and I get my charms from Wal-Mart, the Mall or pick em up where ever I see one I like.. I actually got the bracelet from e-bay
