Barb,

that's just sort of what mine feels like. it's bulged a bit and been sore the last 3 months with my period...of course that's when i started birth control pills to get regular. But what were your hernia symptoms? or didn't you have anything other than the bulge. Is it the bariatric surgeon that goes back in and takes care of that? and how is the recovery time.

stillllllllllllllll waiting to hear something from my nurse practitioner.

So can I ask, what has made you most successful besides the band?

Hello Marchies. Haven't posted here in a while, but looks like everone is doing well. I had an accident 2 weeks ago. Fell on some slick steps, broke my leg pretty badly, had surgery, been laid up ever since. Can't put ANY weight on my leg yet. This is getting really old. I go back to the surgeon Thurs. hopefully he will cast it and I can get on the road to recovery. Not losing any weight either, but I had to reschedule my appt. for my fill, due to the leg thing. Hopefully the next fill will be "it." Take care everyone.

Sugarbear,

Oh what a terrible thing your going through, I hope your casted

and have a full recovery fast.

I hear you Neveragain, motivation is so hard to keep going. I try to watch health shows and shows like biggest loser, and the fat march they motivate me for a short while anyway. The winter is going to be hard.

We can all do it though..............

<p>WOW!!!!! Tammy you look great. I look reading all the posts. I don't respond much. I had my 4th fill last Monday. I have PB'd about 5 times this week vs. 2 times in 6 months. I think I finally have the restriction I have been hearing about. I'm happy but a little scared. I'm not sure why. I've lost 33 pounds since March 16 and have about 30 to go. </p> <p>Good luck to eveyone.<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /></p>

Hey everyone, it has been since the end of July. School really took a toll on my online activity. I am truely depressed, I did so well after the first couple of months, but these last two months have been gut renching. I have gained and lost and stayed the same. I really don't know what I am doing wrong, I am exersiceing and I try to watch what I eat. Things just arn't coming off. I know I know it takes time, but gosh I'm at a stuck place............

That's so hard. I feel for you. Ugh! How frustrating.

Well, I can tell you what a well meaning soul told me when I hit a plateau and was complaining about it. She asked if eating more would help me lose, and I answered no. She asked if exercising less would get me over my hump and I told her she was crazy and no way. So she look at me with compassion and said, "Sounds like you need to dig a little deeper and work your way through this."

It may come across as harsh in type and even when I share the story with people they are like, "what a bitqch" But she's not a sarcastic person and she's has seen her share of struggles so she comes from a good place of understanding.

So, maybe you can find that reserve and dig your heels in deep and eat a little less or move a little more or be more structured in how you track your activities and you will beat the weight off your body. You can and you will.

Good luck to you and come back here for all the support you need.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
