Last night I overate significantly. After a couple of hours of discomfort I vomited violently and it resulted in facial bruising. Lots of tiny purple spots around my eyes and on one side of my face down my neck! Anybody else ever have this happen?

I remember reading on here about a five day liquid diet or something like that people use when they have really fallen off the wagon. I need to shrink my stomach and start over. Can anyone give me info on this? Thnx.

Thanks so much!

My daughter and I were both banded 1/5/12. I have lost 60 , she has lost 25 and has had 7 unfills. Today she did a barium swallow and was fold she has a slow esophagus. It does not push food down in a timely manner. They think that has been her problem. Gave her a .2 fill and said to wait longer between bites. Nothing else to be done. Anybody ever hear of this?

Today I told my dr. My goal is 170. Started out at 240. Weighed 201 today. For my height 170 would still be in the overweight range, bmi of 25. But she said that is a very healthy goal. She said bmi doesn't always take everything into consideration like muscle mass. I have lost 5 bmi points already. Whoo hoo!

Quite a day!! Congrats!

I am joining the January 2012 group. No recent posts but I hope u r out there?.. I was banded 1.5.12. I have lost 39 lbs. I still do not feel restriction. Next fill ( no. 5) is in 2 weeks. I have a 14 cc band. Not sure how much is in it. I try to follow all the rules, have messed up some! I would like to feel a little restriction b/c I can eat a lot!

I did a fill every two weeks for 6 weeks then once month . So 4 fills so far since my surgery 1.5.12. I still do not feel restriction. I have lost 39 lbs. Have now started to gain a couple of lbs. Back. My next fill isn't until 5.30.12. Wish it was sooner.

There was someone about a week ago talking about cool lipo. I googled it and it sounds great. Gets rid if fat and boosts collagen so skin shrinks. I hope whoever that was let's us know how it turned out for her!

My PB2 arrived today from amazon. Mixed some up with water and ate it off the spoon. Satisfied my need for a treat. Really good stuff. 85 percent less fat and calories than regular peanut butter. The peanuts are slow roasted then pressed to remove the fat and oil. 2T is 45 calories. The possibilities are endless. Thanks to whoever suggested it.

It looks spreadable when mixed with Water but I didn't try. Someone said to reconstitute it with honey or sugar free jelly. I have never had food get stuck (yet). I was banded 1.5.12, have had 4 fills plus 4 cc left in the 14 cc band after surgery. Have lost 37 lbs. My daughter was banded same day. She has had numerous stuck incidents and two unfills. She has not lost much, is very frustrated. Guess she is not my clone. Just goes to show everybody is different. Thanks for the ideas on how to use PB2.

I read on here once it means " productive burp."

I had never heard of this. Just ordered some. Can't wait to try it. Haven't had Peanut Butter for months!

I use half low fat mayo and half plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo like when making tuna salad. No difference in taste or texture.

Hi! I have been lurking in LBT but this is my first post. I was banded on Jan. 5, 2012. I have lost 35 lbs. which puts me 1/2 way to my goal . My surgeon was Dr. Nicole Fearing in Overland Park, KS. She has been wonderful. I am eating around 1200 calories a day including 60 grams of protein. I eat much more than 1 cup of food per meal although much less than I used to eat (!) I have not felt restriction. Don't ever want to get anything stuck or to vomit! I take a 30 minute walk 4 times a week. I feel great. I go for my 4th fill April 17. Not sure if I should get one since the weight is coming off slowly but surely. Kind of want to speed it up, but don't want to rock the boat!

Oh, thank you yellow rose, there it is on the left! Go to my profile, edit profile, profile settings, display name.

How do I edit my profile. I forgot to put my age in! Also would like to add picture?? Thanks.
