Carla - If it hasn't cleared by morning, I would call your doctors office, they will probably want to see you.

I have absolutely felt that way after a fill, aren't you supposed to be less hungry?? Mine always gets better the next day, in the morning, I reallys start to feel it. I am always tighter in the morning than I am at night, is anyone else like that? Annie - Congrats on 150!! That is amazing....you should be really proud of yourself. Nat - 16, not 16W way too go!! Regular size people clothes, you rock! Anyway, couldn't get on this morning and panicked, thought maybe work blocked the address, thank god they didn't wouldn't be able to make it through the day without the LBT love!!

I agree, Brandi got me tracking my food on FitDay, and explained some of the stranger things my body was doing first few months! Nat - There are some bodybugg armband devices on E-bay, you may be able to get one there for less.

Nikki - Congrats on the baby, what an exciting time. Read the posts alot, don't get on here as much as I should, when I start to feel like this is an uphill battle that I am facing alone, it always helps to get read the last few pages and realize that there are so many people that are going through the same changed and crap that I am!

I actually had the same thing happen this weekend and had to get my band unfilled! They took out all the fluid because I was choking on the food and couldn't get anything down, it was making me gag and I had to cough it up. I feel so much better now, but a little frustrated that I lost all the fluid.

Kirsten - I have also hit a plateau and it is very frustrating with all the work you put into it and not getting the results that you want. I was banded 12/6/06 and I have stopped for about 2 weeks also. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he told me that 1/2 lb to 1 lb a week was normal. Not at all what I wanted to hear!! My goal is more like 2 lbs a week. He did tell me that since I was in good physical health that I should be exercising 5-6 days a week and doing that will make the weight come off quicker. Of course I already knew that, but hearing it made me more determined that I need to get re-focused again on this and lower my calories to about 800-1000 a day and get back to exercising.

Hello Ladies - I'm just back from being sick for the past week so catching up on all the posts. B-man - You are one hot momma! You can definetly tell in your face that you lost a ton on weight. Nat - I'm sure the Lord appreciated you getting all dolled up for him, hope it goes well with the new man. Sounds like you are handling it well. I get my next fill on Thursday and I need it. I can eat about 2 cups of food and not feel too full. He only put 1 cc in last time so I am asking for a lot more this time!

Brandi - Congrats on the weight loss, that is incredible. What you said about eating too fast and not chewing enough is exactly how I feel when I eat too quickly when I start eating. Thanks for all that great info.

I really don't think that it is sarcasm, just a really limited view of the world, coming from a really small minded person.

WOW Tired OLD Man!!! -- Shouldn't you be posting your comments on a White Supremacist website instead of one for WLS patients! IT has to be hard being so angry all the time!!

Nat - Please tell me it will stop snowing soon in MI, I have to be there in a few days for work and do not feel like dealing with the snow!! I went to a local support group the other night and I have to tell you, this forum is so much better than sitting in a group of people listening to someone that had gastric bypass, I can't really relate to someone that lost 60 lbs in 2 months. Although I am jealous as hell! I felt like I was at a AA meeting (never been to one), but we had to say what type of surgery we had and when, some people talked about how much weight they had lost. Not really feeling that type of support, I am much more comfortable being able to say online what I want and not sit in a room of 40 people. This support system has been the best for me, thanks to everyone. Even though I don't post very often I read them almost every day at work and it keep me going when I want to get a candy bar out of the vending machine that is 10 feet from my office!!!

Claudia - Haven't been on for a few days, happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one. Nat - Sex with a minister? Sounds dangerous! Everyone needs a little strange when they are single, maybe he will make you see God. - I know I am going to get so much shit for saying that, but I couldn't resist. BK- That video sucks, I'm sorry your sister sent it to you, doesn't seem too positive...

Nat - You are crazy, not a psychopath, just a little crazy, I know they say "don't shit where you eat", I met my husband at work, married 10 yrs. It may work out, it may not, but atleast you gave it a try, just don't tell anyone! Jill - Great job on the 7 inches, I'm going more by the measuring tape, than the scale, because the freakin scale depresses me each day!

Steph - Just your story made me sweat, does that count for my workout today? Congrats on really pushing yourself, I'm sure you can feel it today!

Nat - Bang! I got 4 inches cut off my hair and got bangs this weekend. Just needed a change, something for myself. SB party - I am taking some veggies that I can eat and a dip, I had a horrible weekend with food. I ate bread for the first time and now I am craving it again. I had a fat free hotdog on a bun for dinner tonight, didn't need the bun but ate the whole f*ing thing, it was good, but I was hoping I wouldn't eat it because bread is not helpful with this lifestyle. I also had a small piece of pizza, it was good, but I really feel better if I eat Protein. I think I will set a goal of 15 lbs by V-day, that would put me at 230, it's been years since I saw those numbers. Anyone else got a goal?
