I am a big fan of Friends too. That is one of the all time greatest shows, IMO. Yay, another soap fan. As I admitted previously, I have been watching All My Children and One Life to Live for over 30 years. color me stupid.

You're right Audree. That sweet spot is extremely sensitive. I had a doctor's appointment anyway, and I was contemplating getting some taken out. I really didn't want to. I wanted to wait it out, but I wanted to be honest too. When I told him that I go on protein drinks every time I pb, and that sometimes I even slime on protein drinks, he insisted I have a slight de-fill. I really impressed upon him that I only wanted a tiny bit out. Now I am able to eat anything I want. Like I said, at my birthday dinner, I had some soft sour dough bread. 2 weeks ago, I was pbing on soup. It's pretty maddening. I am not going to mess with fills right now though. I am going to just make good food choices. I know I didn't pay 10 grand out of pocket to not follow the rules. Today I have had salad made with spinach leaves and chicken breast for lunch and dinner. The Walmart Italian fat free dressing is only 10 calories for 2 Tablespoons.

Eventually, you should get to a spot where if you get any more fills, it will be hard to eat and you will be limited as to what you can eat. Some people like a very tight band. I had some taken out, because I couldn't stand being so limited as to what I could eat. Everyone says as long as you are losing, don't get another fill.

Sharon, you need to change your exercise around. The past couple of months I have been working with a trainer. He insists that you have to shock your body constantly by always changing the routine. What are you eating? I have a very slow metabolism and I don't lose anything unless I stick to 800 calories per day plus exercise.

Oregon is doing pretty well at putting those pay day loan places out of business. They passed some laws to regulate the interest rates. Those places make me sick.

Nobody seems to know what will stop it. I don't have any little short hairs that I can see, so I don't think I am doing anything but losing hair.

I have this huge jug of EAS chocolate whey that I got at Walmart a long time ago. I think that it's 120 calories if it's made with Water and not milk. I have done Slim fast low carb too but it's 190 calories. I have also used Atkins if I get sick of chocolate and get their strawberry The great thing about the band is that I really don't get hungry. I lose the best if I stick to 800 calories a day. I don't lose anything if I don't exercise too. I find it easiest to count calories doing the Protein drinks. I hate looking up the calories on food and never know if I am figuring them out right, if it doesn't say right on the package.

I am at 10 months now and it's not slowing down. I take zinc biotin a multivitamin Flaxseed oil have protein with every meal and an extra protein shake. I don't know what else I can do. I wish it would stop, but I guess it will stop when it wants to. Everyone tells me it does stop eventually.

I am not even sure where this post appears on the board. I get an email when someone posts on here. I think this post should have a special place on the board so new people see it immediately when they are starting their research. How can we make that happen?

Yeah, Myrtle Point is about 40 min from me. I have had some interesting fills too. I went in for a fill and got completely unfilled. No clue how that happened. Then he put in way too much thinking I had a leak. It turns out I don't have a leak, and I have had to have some taken out twice. I wish Dr. Tersigni used the fluro but from what he tells me, I wouldn't want to pay what Bay Area Hospital charges for it. He was supposed to leave 2.75 in there this last time, but I can now eat anything I want and hardly have to chew. I am doing fine though because I have learned to make good food choices. I am going to have to get another fill but I will wait and see if I keep losing this way. Fills are so strange.

You would be describing someone like me. I already have children and I don't want more. I think that's what they are talking about, when they say they have kids but don't want more. There are so many women who have kids but never really planned to have kids, just because they aren't very bright about how birth control works. I still think you should say something about it in your profile, that you like kids (even if you don't) but you don't want any. Some people just aren't kid people, or aren't good with kids. Kids take a ton on patience, especially if they aren't your own.

How big is your band? Mine holds 4cc's total.

Yes, once you get fills, your eating will change dramatically. It might not be with the first fill, depending on how aggressive your doctor is with fills.

Manatee, which site is this (if you don't mind me asking) I would put right in the profile, that you don't want children. This is something major that women are going to want to know. Most sites ask that question and you fill in the blanks about all the questions.

The fact that I am not hungry anymore definitely helps. That and I feel truly guilty if I don't go to the gym. Head hunger can really interfere with not being hungry. My daughter always said "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" when she was losing her weight. When I am craving something, I try to get busy doing something else, and remind myself that whatever I am craving will be eaten in about 30 seconds and I won't feel any better.

Since you're not the bank you could always direct them to a certain bank and say you have heard that they have the best interest rates. That's what I do when people ask to borrow money from me. I have a very good friend that wanted me to lend her money so she could buy a place she wanted to rent out as a vacation rental. I told her which bank in town had the lowest interest rates.

I was like that too, Audree. I was pbing and sliming all the time. I finally decided to get some taken out. I made him promise he was only going to take out a tiny bit. The other night at one of my birthday dinners, I even ate a piece of bread. I have no idea how much he took out, but apparently, it was too much.

I am the same way. I hardly ever get rid of anything. I have a huge attic. I have clothes I am wearing from 20 years ago before I had my kids. Nothing out of style, just t shirts and I love flannel shirts. They are getting too big too.

I passed a sign above a local restaurant . It said: Eat Out The Wife You Save My Be Your Own

It's really nice losing weight. I just love it. But I hate shopping! Is anyone else tired of buying something new, and having it not fit the next time you want to wear it? I really need to hit up the thrift stores. I am really sick of shopping, even if I did get a good deal on it. I buy it because I like it, but then it's too big already.

I am sure I would say it's fine , how is yours?

Right now I can eat anything I want. I am much happier, still losing, and not throwing up anymore. I am glad I had some fill taken out.

I still haven't found my sweet spot. I was way too tight and throwing up a lot so I had some taken out. Now I am back to being able to eat whatever I want. I just try to make good choices and eat right. It's such a fine line between being too tight and being just right. I had lost 55 lbs but I went on an eating frenzy last week because it was my birthday. It seemed like every single person I knew wanted to take me out to dinner. I didn't weigh this morning, but I know I will take off whatever I gained. I want to lose 15 more lbs. If I have trouble losing again, I will have to break down and get another fill.

Manatee, I think plenty of fish is very user friendly. I really like to read the forums. There are some great conversations that go on there.

It's true and they have done tv shows about it. People who are used to turning to food when they need comfort or whatever, have been becoming addicted to other things. For some it's gambling, drinking or shopping etc. Some of the people who have never had the opposite sex pay attention to them because they have been fat all their lives, do become a little wild and start having sex with mulitple partners.
