best thing I ever did

  • Popular Post

I got banned in January 2013 and have lost 72 pounds so far and still moving right along. Off of blood pressure meds, off all diabetic medication and off almost all other medications. I would do it all over again, it's been great so far. I have a question, how do you get the weight loss ticker on the bottom of your page?

    Everything is ok. It's just really hard on this liquid diet. I have no energy. I keep getting headaches. My port site hurts. It's all such a change.

    Take some Gas-X strips, using a heating pad (worked wonders for me) and get up and walk around your house or outside to get the blood flow moving. I also shrugged my shoulders from time to time but wh

Congrats, on the top left of the page click on your user name and it will open a drop down box, you will see the ticker there.

Good luck

I'm only 5 days post op - I CAN NOT wait to be able to say "best thing I ever did"!! Right now I'm in the 'buyers remorse' stage!!

Did you make a ticker already? If you go to the edit profile section online (don't know from the app) you should be able to make the ticker and then when you edit your signature you can add it to your signature.

Good luck =) and GREAT weight loss!!

fantastic weight lost...I was banded Jan15 and have lost 40 lbs .. I know this was the best thing for me.. I know I will healthier and happier for the years to come... I can't believe I have not had any weight gain since starting this... not that I have tried but usually by now on any other weight loss deal I would have gained weight back...

Congrats!!! That is awesome!!!!!

Really ? Why what's the matter ? If you want to vent I'm here. I don't have any regrets other than the two weeks of liquids is really getting to me. One more week but I go back to work tomorrow so that will help. Stay strong an focus on the end results :).

Hi wheelcrazy, I am with you. I was banded on 5/20/2013 and I am still thinking Lord what have I done. Thank God I have lost weight so far and made it through the first week of liquid diet. I'm praying to overcome this feeling of buyers remorse.

I agree,the full liquid is betting OLD!! Especially today during cookouts.... but honestly for me the worst is the gas pains in my shoulder!! Any suggestions_?

Good luck and congrats to everyone..I'm not to the best thing I've ever done but I know it will get there :)
