That is def one thing I miss! Chugging a water bottle it hurts way to much but then again it depends how restricted you are.

Your over a year and no green zone? Why don't you get more fills? You have more room for it in your band.

I drove 2 days later! Lol just a little sore and be careful when you get in and out the car! No biggie

I've lost over 100 but gained 30 back! And now it doesn't want to come off again

Have you reached a point where the band is getting old to you and you are not loosing anymore weight? what have you done to start all over? act like it's new to you and exciting? because now im just tired of it and not too happy with it. Kinda bored and annoyed with it now lol I need to find motivation first! So im looking to see what you all have done

EXACTLY! we are all going to lose and gain, if not then the person must not be normal haha jk. But i did exactly what you are doing and went through the same. I got a new job in january and with all the stress it caused me i made the choice to get an unfil because nothing would stay down and had too much heartburn at night. THAT IS NOT HEALTHY. Plus I gurgle alot! so I couldn't have my new co-workers wonder and call me the gurgle making noise new girl hahah I work in public accounting so january-april is busy season! I had to be on the loose side, theres no way i could have survived without an unfil but now im struggling to lose it again. Im sure i will tho just not as easy when i was heavier and it was all new to me

YUP!

Where is your port at? Mine's in my belly button on the bottom and i can feel and see it now that my belly went down But i dont feel it pulling?

I've had the band since 2010 and im thinking now it's just done working. I lost around 114 pounds but gained 35 now and I can't loose it again. I've worked out hard and done it all. Had a unfill in January because i was too tight with stress and all and now can't loose the gained lbs. I had fills since then and i can feel myself in the green zone because I know my body and can't eat certain things and gurgle alot! So i dont think a fill is the problem. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to start loosing the weight? I'm thinking it's just done working because it's not new anymore and someone mentioned this also to me. So now i sit here wondering

oh yes gurgling usually happens while I eat too fast or too much. Or it can just happen after i eat telling me that im satisfied. It all depends, it happens when i drink Water, i can hear it going down through the band, kinda creepy lol

haha oh i cough, hit the table, staple, trust me i tried it all. LOL no way im not that restricted, i got alot taken out and now slowly filling it back up and i want to some more but im afraid now it'll be even louder!! I might be at a good spot now, maybe that's why im gurgling? I HATE THIS!

I've been banded 2.5 years now and I am used to it, its normal to me but not to others that don't know what I have lol I sit in a cube and i feel like everyone can hear me! it can get pretty loud! and goes on for hours!

This gurgling is so annoying and embarrassing especially at work I noticed with some foods i dont gurgle as much or it's just in my head. Are there foods that you notice make you gurgle louder than others? It's so uncontrollable too! Any suggestions? thoughts? anything?

Yes white chicken is tough, you need to make it moist and add condiments. In the crockpot it's moist and you need to chew very well. As for steak, i think it's still too early for you but you never know - just cut it in very small pieces and chew chew chew!

Oh yes, he was in IL now he moved to Ohio you are lucky toooo!

hahah yes!!! It's so true tho, my gurgles can be loud or i think they are especially at work! It's embarrassing i dont know what people think or hear. Oh yes!! He's the best! I'm so lucky to have it done by him and before he left IL

FMLA? I took a week off...but then again I have a sit down job and don't require to walk or do much. But i was able to get back to work probably after 3 days. I was driving and walking the 2nd day too! I guess everyone is different.

I dont burp but i gurgle alot!!! hate it! esp at work! it's when i eat too fast or don't chew all the way. I feel like i gurgle too if i swallow a lot of air. I guess its normal, well not normal normal but you know what I mean

For dinner last night I made chicken salsa in crockpot Breakfast usually ice coffee, yogurt, banana For lunch ill eat leftover from night before. I had a southwest chicken wrap today for lunch and ate the stuff inside tried to take a bite of the tortilla but i started gurgling so i stopped LOL but it had lettuce tomatoes chicken cheese n dressing. YUMMMY Chicken salad, turkey wraps are good, smartones if i dont have time in morning or leftovers lol I'm having steak tonight with greek salad (only onion, tomatoes, feta, oregano, oil and vinegar)

Soo I got a small fill and still no pounds melting away going back july 2nd again! There were many reasons i got such a large unfill - mainly i couldnt keep anything down and was going to vegas for a wedding. LOL wanted to enjoy myself alil. I was getting sickly skinny and not healthy at all! His hours are horrible and i cant take off much. Early hours and no weekends of course. Time flew by too. But now it's time to get back on track

That's odd, I get the cramping on my left side when i eat and drink too much!

I've had that before, you are probably too tight. I got an unfill and hasnt happened since! It's acid from stomach or something. I know that burning feeling and waking up coughing up this brown stuff too. Just need a little tweek and youll be good
