all good on the swallow test thank goodness. just need some nexium. i was worried i had slipped or stretched but doc said all looks perfect.

have to do a swallow test next mon due to heartburn. said its a sign the band is too full. now you know how protective we are of those fills....!

i have lost 92 lbs, and have at least 140 more to lose. my highest was 355 at 5'3.5". i would to at least see 130 tops. will see when i get closer to goal. lost another 1.5 yesterday, even though totm dreading the addition of exercise again, but will ease into it so i can make it a habit instead of a chore!

Since I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary and still have a lot to lose......I wanted to pretend I was going back in for surgery. So I went back to clear liquids for 2 days. Now you know how fun that is! And of course, it's never a perfect day for me either, but I still did awesome. In the past 7 days I lost 8 lbs! Yayyyyy! Ready to see some progress again in this journey. Only 6 more lbs to lose to get down to the lowest I've been since surgery, you know how it goes. Up down up down. But I've always steadily kept the loss down. I'm hoping everyone is doing well. We are coming up on the holiday season and that can be an issue. I'm going to try and be very conscious of if that bite is really really worth the calories. Hoping to hear from you all, bundle up, stay warm, and have a wonderful holiday season everyone!

has anyone tried the lemonade cleanse as a reboot? thinking about it. still at 270# after surgery and frustrated. its all me not eating right or exercise. but was thinking maybe a cleanse reboot. Sent from my iPod touch using LapBandTalk

got a fill today. havent had one in quite a few months. have 10.8 in my 14 bad. so far so good. might as well use it for what its for!

new NSV: bath sheets just to big now. i have to bunch it up to tuck it around me. im going to have to down grade to a normal sized towel, geez. insert sarcasm here, lol. its been a long year. insee some around me that have reached goal already and some that are slow losers like me. we all go at our own pace, its a lot to learn and relearn and reteach. i just now feel im ready for another fill, its ben over 6 months i think. i needed to ensure i was eating correctly, chewing very well, and what foods and when i can eat. things you never thought of before. im very glad i got my band, i see new changes both physically and mentally constantly. you just need to enjoy the process instead of thinking your life will start once you reach goal. live now and blossom into a new you. much love and peace to you all.

im at my lowest weight in 10 years! ironically that was when i was prego with my daughter but i always lost weight during pregnancy.

my doc says diet snapple counts as water but cofee or hot tea doesnt.

rkimom, my calories were under 1000 during the week but sat about 1200 and sunday 1500. drank 8-16 svgs of water every day. logged on my fitness pal daily. and did insanity videos to the best of my ability. i chg the movement to work out the same muscle often when i cant do what they are. i also take more breaks when i get just before the dizziness. we welcome you here, feel free to share with positive encouraging feedback only from us, thats what we are all here for!

ok i have 30 lbs to lose in 42 days to meet my 100# goal for my one year bandiversary. what is your stand by for snacks, food, products? how about exercise? Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

That's interesting to hear on the dehydration, ive often wondered if i just needed to keep drinking fluids throughout the day just to keep the whole opened enough to get some food down. am and afternoon im tight but by dinner time i can eat anything....... hitting a plateau for a while now, need to refocus again, it sure is getting harder now.

Been stuck up and down on the same 5 pounds the last couple months. But our program with our trainer at the gym started back up again and I've lost 5 pounds last week, so I'm on the move again, literally owwww. So to date I've now lost 80 pounds. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Back down the few pounds I've gained the last few weeks, good to see! Now to just get over that hump. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Did Grear today. 9 glasses of Water (so far) today, Protein shake for Breakfast, metabolic research center tomato basil Soup for lunch, chicken thigh for dinner, couple pieces of fried potato, and some peas and corn. I feel full and actually got to eat chicken! I really watched myna ire sizes, speed and chewing and it worked great. Took forever to eat, 30-45 minutes, but I feel so much better and satisfied. Does take some will power, but it's worth it. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

On the plus side, school started today and people I haven't seen for the summer are surprised. Had a little girl just stare at me for the longest time, I just smiled and said hi! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I'm in the same boat as many. My class at the YMCA is off for August so I don't have that push to go. Then when I do it kills me and makes me not want to go even more. Plus I pulled a calf muscle good and that's been causing problems. Then on the food side been eating sliders since I have problems with anything else. Don't know if it's me not taking small enough bites, getting so hungry I eat too fast or what. So needless to say I'm not losing. Feel like I'm failing my band. It's a cycle now, I feel hungry and when I find something that will go down I eat that. I need some healthy options for when the band is tight...off to research the boards!

I drove to Michigan and back this weekend. That's a 12 plus hour trip each way. A lot lot lot of sitting and eating crap food and not drinking enough water (that would mean more rest area stops). Plus eating not the best options with a "vacation mentality" and being at moms house eating what's offered. Needless to say I still lost 2 pounds this weekend! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk
