Congrats!! U look great!! Keep up the great job

Diagnosed with gastritis today... Anyone else had this complication? My stomach is so sore. Interested in hearing from others

Thank u!!!!! Trying that tonite!! That's what I love about this site and everyone on it!! Thank u again ))

Pain in upper abdominal area.. Dull, burning pain and was unable to stand up

Thank u for the advice... I will try that ) got my rx filled and feeling much better thanx to medications

No alcohol lately but I have taken Motrin for headache. Band seems to be great no vomiting, nausea or any problems. No trouble with acid reflux just confused where this is coming from.....

I have decided not to count or log calories on myfitnesspal... I got this surgery not to diet and calorie count but for a lifestyle change. And realistic I will not be able to count calories for the rest of my life. I need to know I can use this tool and be successful. Anybody else tried not to calorie count and how successful was u???

U know I never thought about that... Great points! It just seems like that is consuming my every thought and moment. I was banded 4/19/12 and have lost 80 lbs. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I feel hopefully for my future. I just don't want to start something I can't do for the rest of my life. Maybe I will just use myfitnesspal as needed....

70 pounds down in 7 months!!! Feeling like I have my life back! Went from couldn't walk to my car to working out everyday!

Congrats!!! Great achievement!!!!

U look great!!!!! Keep up the great job

Wow!!!!! Great job!!!! So proud of u

Thank u everyone... I have learned this truly s lifestyle change and I'm going to take it one day at a time!! Happy Banding

I am so overwhelmed for the first time in 8 years I am below 300 pounds!!!! Words can't express this joy!!! Felt so good to see a 2 on that scale!!!

Thank u!!! Hasn't been easy but worth it!!

No best decision I ever made. It has been a new lifestyle change but I thank God everyday I made this choice

Patient of him also... Banded 4/19 down 60 lbs

I have a dilemma... Went to dr and she said the amount of Excersise and calories I consume is actually putting me in starvation mode??? Ain't we suppose to Excersise??? I started out walking 2 miles daily on treadmill then I added Zumba 3 days a week.. I lost 17 pounds in a month. I keep my calories 1200 or below and use my fitness pal... Well this last month I started kickboxing twice a week and Zumba three times a week and also a cardio/ weight class ( ripped) twice a week and still walk 2 miles daily on the treadmill and I didn't lose one damn pound?!!! I'm working my butt of literally and still staying with 1200 calories or less. Fitness pal says I need to have 2000 calories for my weight but that's too much and the dr says be patient????

Banded 4/19 down 58 pounds. It has not been easy but worthwhile! Enjoying this néw journey and enjoy getting back to the gym never thought working out would be my solace and place of peace. If I had to do it again.,. I would a million times

Sorry for the multiple post... Dang iPhone!!!!

Thank u for the advice... I love the ideal of a high calorie day!! I have been tired lately and thinking of adding a b12

You know I told only people I care about because people tend to think we took the "easy way" out but after 5 months I can say this is one of the hardest things I've done!! I work my ass literally.. I workout 6 days a week and stay under 1200 calories!! Zumba, kickboxing, and walking 2 miles a day!! People think since we have the surgery the weight falls off 5lbs daily... I wish!!! So now I keep it private! I have learned... Opinions are like buttholes.. Everyone has one!!!
