yes, throwing up is bad if you cant swallow, you may be tooo tight and not being able to eat/drink is so not worth being super tight take wee bites, chew alot, go slow---back to basics wishing you all the best honey

fashion (((hugs))) and great news on the approval letter he will come around...once he starts seeing your inner goddess come out, he will be 100% supportive you just keep him in the know, the loop...he is probably just scared for his queen....do you know when surgery will be yet?

nothing wrong with dressing....but some is better options than other

2 things i am jealous and I am so happy.......you are awesome...so proud of you

i like the (old you and the new one)your gorgeous, you will knock em dead

didnt i warn you and tmf about putting you two in time outs????

your gonna do so greata great attitude, a winning smile and supportive family and ME

in my eyes msinto, you be amazing

in my case #2 alot more....liquids in and liquids out my dr ok'd mmodium ad...with this happening, vital to stay hydrated

so if the scale is not moving as fast as you like, does it mean its not working? nope.... are your clothes looser? are you feeling better physically?? are you more mobile?? then its working

your dr would probably answer your question better i dont see why not but i have no idea...when i first got banded, i had so much fat on me, i couldnt believe i even had a port in there...the more i lose, i can see it and most def feel it..i am okay with that..my little life saver.

i cant predict your future but i understand how nervous you are...the only thing i can say is just do the best you can..its not easy but its worth it. wishing you all the best.

hey tom what happens at these get togethers? do you have alot of people? i wish i lived close enough as id love to go to a support group.

heating pad, hot shower on shoulders and alot of walking and patience as it will eventually work its way out

a loss is a loss..def take it

I cant (like) your post but I am sorry to read your words

on my pre op, I lost a good deal of weight and hub asked me that very question, should we proceed with scheduled surgery....I had to answer yes as in my past as a top ranked dieting pro, I have gained and lost 200+ pounds easy by (dieting) and then falling back into old habits (not exercising eating more high fat/high calorie junk food). now my band wont let me eat a lot and all I have to do is eat better food choices....up to you......if you can stay with the (diet) go for it.....if you need assistance, this WILL work...

great comment AJ.

hm...i have been on this forum for over a year now and first time i ever read something like this.....if i was you, id call and tell my dr and get their opinion....

you will get many different responses here but i can only speak for myself...being banded 11 months, i havent gotten stuck or anything...i chew alot, take wee bites and go super slow....i have been able to eat anything i want too with no problem...that only thing that has changed is what i eat now... i do not eat junk/processed/not filling my tummy foods...anyhow, best of luck and congrats on your recent surgery.

AJ if you didnt yell at me sometimes i do not think i would have made it this far...listen to AJ here, she is a walking/talking success story.. holly, failure means to just say f**k it and give up...you havent done that as you are seeking (help from people who understand) AND hence you are not a failure...pick yourself up and get back on track right now, right NOW.....you can do it..you just have to think you can....

preach it sistah nudie EXCELLENT ADVICE i am gonna use some of that today myself...

my pcd called me and also the lap band surgeons office called me and my ins sent me an approval letter...hope you hear great news soon...keeping my fingers crossed for you.
