OK, here is my deal. I have recently started dating since losing weight. Before I lost the weight I had not dated in years!!! Now I am dating and the men I date are hot! They work out 4-6 hours a day, they have amazing bodies. I am so insecure about my body anyway but when you add them into the mix it is too much. This has happen 3 times now with my last boyfriends. I don't seek them out, they find me. Anybody else have this low self esteem problem??? Its not that I don't feel good about myself, I just dont think I can have a relationship with someone this good looking!! Am I crazy or do others go through it too!

Ok, it hurts to even drink milk. Then I make this weird noise from my throat. It feels tight like I have a ballon in my throat. I had a fill in Nov. and have been fine. I am under tons of stress right now, and I started a new med that causes stomach problems. When I eat it will stay down for about 15 min. and then comes back up. Do you think my band slipped?? I was going to do liquids for a week and see if that helps. I don't have the money right now to reband or do appts. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated!!

Nope I couldn't. I was just then movin off the liquids into the mushies :shades_smile: Ask your doc.

I hear ya missy0224 I have this guy I use to hang with and he loved to have sex with me when I was big and still likes to with me as a size 10! He has my heart for that one! Just makes you appreciate them!

I am on liquids right now for a week to help prevent slippage I love smoothies 1 c NF vanilla yogurt 1/2 c nf high pro. milk 1/2 bann. 1/2 c strawberries 5 cubes of ice 1 packet of splenda *** When I have the powder Protein I add it too! Fillls me up and taste :embaressed_smile:

I need an exercise buddy to help keep me motivated. I am going to start jogging. Anyone interested???

I have found that when I do just straight liquids that is when I get the noises. I try to get something down that has a bit of subtance and it helps. A 100lbs is amazing. Congrats. Sometimes, when I don't eat enough I will stop losing weight. I get in that mind set of less food = more weight and that is wrong because then my body goes into hold onto the weight mode :embaressed_smile: Anyhow, goodluck you are doing great!

Been there done that! My doc. gave me a prescription for a med that is a strong maxlox. I take it before I eat 30 min. ahead of time. It helped. It was stomach acid and within a couple of days I had stopped. Plus, at that time he did not have to take out any fill just had to get my stomach from being irritated. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the advice. WEnt to the doc today and he took all my fill out. Said my band does not do well with stress bc of stom. acid. I feel 100% better!! I am so glad to hold down liquids again!! On liquids for another week but at least I am not throwing up! He will refill in 4 weeks!

houston, texas!

Dr. Collier did mine. He is awesome and so is his staff!! I did self pay and my interest rate was 19% through Capital One. Then I put it onto another card for 5% and it made the payments go down. I think it is worth it! Good luck...

i was a crown and coke girl before but now I just stick with shots. A couple shots and I am good for the night! If I stick with the same shot, I have no hangover the next day. If I do a mix drink it makes me feel yuck the next day.

Yes, I am now a smoker! I had quit 7 years before the band but now I have started back. However, I feel better with the weight loss

Ok it has been since December since I had my band. Am I good to have some drinks now? I really need to visit a happy hour soon! As long as I don't drink and get sick will I be ok? I have been on plan so much I don't want to mess up my band but I need to destress!!!

The laxative work wonders for me. Also, walk walk walk. Good Luck

I would call your doc. about the dry heaves bc mine put a motion sickness patch on my ear and told me to keep it in place for 3 days to make sure I did not vomit. I was a little quesy one time but nothing major. Good Luck and I hope you feel better

I cried when they took me back. It is so freaky to think no more fajitas, enchiladas, etc. when I am stressed. However, 2 weeks later I would not go back for nothing. This is going to work!

I was banded on the 26th of Dec. I just ate 1 oz of salmon chewed really well. The lit. from my doc. says soups but in the Band book from the doc it says when you start on your 3rd week you can have pureed (wrong spelling) fish and chicken. Did I mess up? I feel ok.:speechles

The band can and will work even if you don't kill yourself in the gym. I thought about it like this when I made my choice. Even if I go out to eat Mexican, with the band I know I can only eat so much. In the old days I could knock out Fajitas for 1, 2 bowls of chips, 2 cokes and don't forget the queso! Now its not happening like that! However, do what you feel is best for you. That was just my logic. Also, I thought even if I just lose 30 lbs in a year and go real real slow, it is still 30 lbs I would of not seen before.

Did anyone else become emotional on their 3-4 day? I am not like that at all. I am excited about the band but omg I was crying at everything. I am better now, but that was scary for me. I hope I don't have anymore issues like that again.

OK, I am up and about shopping ect. Still can't wear a regular bra :party: but I was wondering does anyone have the hiccups? I am 6 days post op. Also, I want to burp but cant so I just exhale and it feels better. Does anyone else do this? Am I taking in to much? My diet today 3 oz p. shake 9:00 1/2 sf pudding cup 11:30 1 sf pudding cup 3:00 3oz p shake 5:00 1 c sf coco 7:00 I am suppose to fit in 3 p shakes a day but I can't!:paranoid

I also agree. If he said to go to the hosp. please go. You don't want to risk your band. Plus, if something is wrong you would want to get it taken care of ASAP and not down the line. You are in my thougts. Keep us posted!! and Good luck!!

I did a laxative as soon as I got home and it helps with the gas also. You don't want to be stopped up and then have gas pains on top of that.

I like walk away the pounds the 2 and 3 mile. I do it when it is rainy outside. Plus, it is good for the arms.

I am 5 days post op and I did 30 min on the tredmill today and it felt really good. I had the ipod going, water, and didn't watch the time the whole time.
