I have beening trying to get my bowels to "move" all week! Monday I took 4 mom pills. Nothing, maybe a little. 2 more mom pills on Thursday, nothing. Will straining and pushing hurt my pouch? Help!!

My Goal is 125. I am 5' 2" so this will be considered a good weight fo me. I am losing very slow so I just hope I can get there. I have lost 41 so far and I have 33 more to go.

My Eyes are bigger than my pouch. Several times I have made/gotten more food an I can eat. Does this happen to you? I am so glad I have my band, it helps me stop eating. Am I the only one?

I can eat bread, pasta, rice, but I don't think I am tight enough yet. Just be careful.

What is normal eating after a few fills?
loseit replied to jocollects's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on 2/2/12 and I am just know getting to the point where I feel "restriction" that works. I have had so many fills I lost count. Don't give up. It will work if you want it to. Just be consistant, keep getting your fills, watch what you eat and it will work. I am almost at 45lbs and I look it. -
What About Our Fat Friends And Relatives
loseit replied to lisapereira66's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have not told anyone I work with. I have told some of my family members, mother, sister and brother. They all are very over weitht. I try not to mention it to them any more, because I can tell they don't want to hear it. I hope they will change their mind after I have lost all my weight. I seen them at Thanksgiving and I will see them again ago at Christmas. I just wish them could see how much of a better life they could have. -

Looking For Detailed Stories From Anyone Who Has Been To Mexico For Lapband With Dr. Alamaza
loseit replied to leelee_zo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
please don't go the Mexico to have this done. Have you found a dr who will do your fills and follow-up visits when you get back? -
Don't have it removed. You find another Doctor. Don't even go back there. Fight for what you want. You are doing this for you, not them. Get tough!

Ive Had 2 Fills And Feel No Different
loseit replied to Aprilsnewlife's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It will happen. Sounds like you still need more fills. I have had soo many I have lost count. 9 maybe 10. I am at restriction know, but I don't think I am in the green zone. Keep going back and don't give up. -
I stayed the same and I enjoyed my meal. Looking forward to a big loss next week. I think the change in food will help me to start losing again. Merry Christmas everyone!

Looking Great! and Younger!
