I did, for a while almost 2 years. But I have gotten lax and started drinking a bit more caffeine (currently working almost 90 hours a week due to overtime so gotta stay away somehow lol)

Great words, too many people think the band is an "easy button." It is a TOOL, just like a treadmill, it won't do a dang thing for ya unless you respect it and learn every day how to use it for YOUR benefit. I see so many people complaining that their doc is to blame. People that is just like blaming the maker of your treadmill for not helping you lose weight when you never step one foot on it. Research. Research. Research.

Yeah almost 2 years out here and down 225 lbs. But I am a guy we tend to lose a bit faster (sorry lol). It is all about how much you are willing to put into it, how strict you are about your diet, how well your follow your nutrition plans, how much you exercise, making sure you keep going regularly to your doc to monitor fills etc. Lots of steps, but DEFINITELY worth it!! Good Luck!!!

if i had to guess it was probably the bit of potato swelling in your band area vs the eggs. Potatos of any kind other than mashed are a real problem for me

Very true always remember it is a tool, not an "easy button" you still gotta work it lol. Gratz on the P90x I am looking at it for future "abuse" lol

My other person favorite I hear just as much as this "so now that you are skinny are you gonna have them take it out so you can eat normal again"

Are you on blood pressure pills? I was preband and after being banded with the weigh loss it was causing my blood pressure to drop very low especially when I stood. Just something to think about if not then very possible it is just your body coping with your new tool and it's new nutrition. Good luck!!

there is no way you are dehydrated taking in a gallon of Water plus your shakes. It is more probable that the shaky feeling is just your body trying to cope with the sudden decrease in calories. Make sure you are already taking your Multivitamins if you are already seeing hair loss as you are losing a lot of Protein and it will be close to 2 - 3 weeks before you start getting decent amounts back into your system. Good luck!

Here is my ex-wifes numbers. ~02/2010 260 9/1/2010 245.5 9/16/2010 237 10/7/2010 232 11/9/2010 219.5 11/18/2010 219.5 12/14/2010 211 1/18/2011 206 3/15/2011 201 6/22/2011 192 I think she is now in the 150's but not 100% sure.

I know you are eatting solids but remember that most of the solids we eat now have to be low fiber, this will also cause looser stools until your body adjusts. Still wouldnt hurt to check your temp, low grade temp you might have the beginnings of a stomach bug but I think it is just your body tell you thank you for the best decision you ever made

Just be very careful and after you drink the wine try to drink a good amount of water to flush the pouch out. I would be a bit worried about letting the acidic wine sit in a fresh pouch. Could cause some irritation.

My new favorite is Long Island teas no ice no coke. Be careful 1 you will be fine, 2 and you will not need to drive, but 3 and you probably wont remember where you are lol They are mean.

Beating the dead horse but yes the first fill unless it is massive (which is a bad thing personally) shouldnt really cause you any restriction. You want to do it slowly, you need to train yourself to eat right BEFORE you reach restriction for the best results. Because if not when you do hit restriction, you will possibly overeat and end up throwing up all the time which can make things worse. REMEMBER: You didn't get this way overnight, it takes time and work.. RETRAIN. RETHINK. IMPROVE.

You are on a great road Dawsey. Enjoy it because its gonna be a hell of a ride, but in a good way lol. Congrats
