banded 02/08/2007--85 pounds lost. SOOOO happy about that unitl ( you knew that was coming !) about 6 weeks ago. was eating ok, being cautious, but eating my fair share came to a screeching halt. Canot stop getting sick, keep going back to clear liqiuds, had all the fliud removed from the band, confirmed no slippage or corrosion. I am thinking about having surgery reversed, but REALLY don't want to do that. I am at the end of my rope! does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Stress will do alot to your body. Just take it easy and keep the faith. I hope I can loss weight like you. So far I only lost about 30lbs and I am five months in. I need to lose about 55lbs to be at my goal weight.

I'm now five months in, and I only lost 30lbs. I need to lose 60lbs to be at my goal weight of a 160lbs. I don't understand why I'm not losing a pound or two a week. I eat right, jog three miles a day, walk one mile, do ten minutes of chruches and twenty minutes of light weight lifting. I do see my clothes getting bigger, but the scale is not moving. Just don't understand. My surgeon said that some people do nothing and lose lots of weight, while some workout and lose weight slowly.:thumbs_down::huh2::thumbdown:

Ok, so I was really freaking out on friday night, ready to go to the ER, was so tired of getting sick, the whole 9 yards. My dad talked me out of the ER, they would not have done anything over the wekeend anyway. Really took it easy , just drank warm tea with unflavored unjury (unjury.com) Protein powder. Seemed to help, continued on Saturday with more Protein powder. Was able to talk to my family and get some stressful things off my chest (I swear i felt it loosen immediately) Feeling much better today, just still going slow. Talked to Dr, he said to do all this and if I was still throwing up we would do an endoscopy. have no thrown up in 3 days. As to how I lost so much so quick, STRESS !! I had my life tuned upside down six months after being banded, my mom passed away suddenly, be the only responsible sibling, I have been taking care of just about everything and am not building a house with my future husband so i think i really just needed to get my feelings off my chest! It is amazing how much this has changed my life. I thank you all for your thoughts and support.

Teddy12*** I just wanted to check on you to make sure that everything was getting better for you. I lost my mom about 16 1/2 mths ago. If you would like to talk about anything please feel free to send me a private msge....:huh2:

So glad you are better Donna
