    Pureed hamburger is nasty!

    Not sure never puréed anything before. I kind of went from liquid to soft/mushies. I hope you get an answer.
  3. So I finally hit my 50 lbs weight loss goal. -51.6 since may 2011. Even though it has taken me a while I am okay with that! Better safe and slow. Finally feeling like my old self again. Between a size 14/16. A few more Lbs and ill be in my 14 size jeans. It's a struggle but take it one day at a time.
  4. That's awesome!!! I am in the same boat as you. Been wearing a 16 for a while and I can get 14 on but tight in tummy area. We will get there soon!! Keep it up!

    Is Coffee Going To Ruin My Weight Loss?

    I drink one 8-10oz cup of coffee a day before breakfast in the morning. I use reg sugar and reg creamer, flavored ones too. I have to have my coffee the real way. I am still losing weight doin have to say coffee hasn't affected my weight loss but I didn't cut back. I use to drink 3-4 cups a day and now I try and have 1. Once in a while I'll have 2.

    Cigna...please Help!

    So I was banded May 2011. I have Cigna insurance and they didn't cover the assistant that helped the surgeon during my surgery. They also had to repair a paraesophageal hernia during my surgery, which they never mentioned to me anytime after. I only knew I had the hernia because I got charged for that as well on my hospital bill. Do I have to pay for these? Is there anyway I can fight these charges?
  11. Has anyone been slacking like I have been for the last 3 months? I have been slipping back into my old habits and I need to get out of it. I'm also trying to start a family as well, but I think it's smart if I lose 40 more lbs before I do that. I have had no motivation recently.

    Slacking

    I've had 5 fills since May. I snack in between meals. I haven't been drinking water like I should' I've been drinking lots of coffee. I eat more than I should per meal. I've stayed the same weight and I know it's my fault. I don't go to the gym as often as I should, but when I do go I workout for min of 30 minutes. I would love to lose 40 lbs by the summer time which is very doable and I know I can do it. Plus it will be good for trying to conceive.
  16. Honestly I don't know how many cc's I have in my band. I just got my 5th fill 2 weeks ago and I can't say this is the first time I've really felt restriction. Two days after my fill I actually had a stuck episode. I guess I didn't fully chew either a piece of carrot or squash. I def get fuller quicker now. This also makes me realize how much I have been over eating and how much everyone else around me over eats. There are days I'm not even hungry but I eat because I know my body needs the calories.
  17. I had my surgery back in May. I recently got a bill for a hernia repair. Nobody ever mentioned anything to me about haveing a hernia. Has this happened to anyone? I see my surgeon tomorrow and don't know how to bring it up to him.

    Hernia

    Thank you!!

    Hernia

    I guess his assistant it was billed under doesn't take my insurance so it goes through out of network benefits...

    Hernia

    I just can't believe the surgeon didn't tell me. Thanks!

    1st fill ??

    I go for my first fill tomorrow and I'm nervous. What's it feel like? Does it hurt? I can only have liquids for 24 hours after my fill...not so bad.
  23. Nervous about my fill I'm getting on Wednesday...

  24. KristenC

    eating before a fill?

    You should be fine. I have my fill on Wednesday amd they told me I can eat breakfast and lunch, but after the fill I'll be on liquids for 24 hours.
