  5. That is why I haven't told many people at all. Sometimes I feel guilty when people who struggle with their weight ask me how I lost it but then I just tell them the diet that I am on with the lap band which is exactly what you should eat when you are trying to loose weight. Good luck to you!

  7. I am feeling good I wish I had more motivation to exercise though I think once I start back with that I will start dropping more weight I have been within the same 10 pounds for 5 months now so it is really frustrating. Everyone says I look like I have dropped weight recently but the scale isn't showing it and I'm not seeing it. Overall so so so happy I did this

  9. I have had my band about 7 months now and I hear everyone talk about getting stuck but it sounds so much more dramatic then what I thought my getting stuck is. When I think I am stuck I get the hiccups with some pain and burp once or twice and it goes away. Is that stuck? People talk about going on liquids after that for some time but I can just start eating again and I just know to slow down and chew more. Am I getting stuck or am I experiencing sometime else?
  10. As long as the pills aren't extended release or gel caps you can break them in half
  11. I crushed a couple of Tylenol one time and I never crushed another pill! So disgusting! I just break them in half
  12. I remember it being difficult when I had to do it for two weeks before surgery but the reasoning behind doing it (shrinking your liver to allow easier access for surgery) made me feel more motivated I guess you can say. I just got filled for the third time and the past 24 hours on clears has sucked! I so want to cheat. How long does your doc keep you on clears after a fill?

  16. I weighed myself on friday and ding ding ding... halfway to my goal weight! Almost 3 months after surgery and I am so excited! Only 6 pounds away from Onederland Even with all these great things I have been having a rough weekend sticking to my diet... parties ext. It seems like everyone on here sticks to their diets really well am I the only one?
  17. I took a three hour flight 1 week after my surgery and I was perfectly fine good luck!
  18. I heard that the one is more accurate but I just know I would lose it or wash it lol.
  19. I have done a lot of onlibe comparisons and I am thinking about purchasing the Fitbit flex. Does anyone have it? What are your opinions on it. All input would be helpful

  25. I eat fish about 4 times a week and I bake it and it is amazing! I spray the pan with pam put the fish on the pan spray it with i can't believe its not butter on it with your favorite seasonings. I like garlic powder, chili powder and some everglades Cook until it is flaky!

  27. Hi I am a single 30 year old white female newly banded in April and starting to feel good/look good and ready to get back on the market lol. I would love to meet someone who has been through the banding process so they would understand and be supportive of my diet and new lifestyle Let me know!
  28. Oh and I gained a pound so that sucks but hey it could have been way way more so I am still happy
  29. So I had my second fill today which brings me to a total of 4ml in my 10ml band. He almost didn't give me a fill because I lost 7 pounds in a month but I told him I think I am just outside the green zone. So I got 0.5ml in today. Really hope thats all I need because I want to feel satisfied after eating not just forcing myself to stop because of the amount I have ate. Also want to cut out my snaking at night!
