I was just reading this surgeon's site and while it contains promo's for his Clinic, the information was spot on about: When to fill/unfill Band slippage What "restriction" is and isn't etc. Here's a link to those of you who don't know how to tell if you need a fill. http://drsimpson.net/fills/How-to-know-if-you-need-lap-band-fill/How-to-know-if-you-need-lap-band-fill.htm Fish around his page and you'd be surprised how much you could learn! I did.

I am proud that you are proud...

Congratulations on the weight loss and great feelings that come with it!

I am unable to post this graphic on my signature, so here it is! With all the trials and tribulations I've had with banded living I just HAD to shout this out to all my family here on LBT! I deserve it! I accomplished my first small goal! YaY! Plus, I've been sittin on this graphic with great hopes!

My Happy Danceclick on him, he dances.

Thank you everybody, I knew ya'll would relate to the weight loss.

I seem to agree with those of you who only eat when hungry.I'm just certain my NUT will argue the 3 squares. "You need food for energy." "You'll keep your metabolism at a consistent level." But I simply cannot force myself to eat when I'm not hungry. I tried the other day to eat my shrimp and broccoli dinner after not having Breakfast or lunch, and I got through two shrimp and stopped. I felt sick to my stomach, actually, abdomen. Forcing food seems wrong, especially when you can't eat. I've GOT to tell my NUT to let me eat only when hungry. Why force food to a super obese person! Thanks all for posting and sharing your stories!

Alright kids, I've asked your opinion on this before, but need to get more information to bring to my nutritionist. I get 2 opinions from LBT Bandsters on: Do I eat my 3 squares and two Snacks as prescribed vehemently? It is supposed to keep up my metabolism. My NUT insists on this. I know all NUTS and Surgeons have different ideas as to this. I've heard good arguments for this type of eating. OR Do I only eat when I'm hungry? Possibly compromising my rate of metabolism. For most of the month (except when TOM makes it known and I find I gain weight during that time) I'm not very hungry. I haven't eaten all day and could not eat my dinner. So, I wonder, why force myself to eat something every two hours when I'm just fine without eating (not doing it on purpose).And I'm concerned about the Starvation mode kicking in. Tell me how you feel about this. Give me a great argument to bring to my NUT.

I am trying to change my profile photo. The icons both in "My Settings" and the one for "Change" on the current photo, are just spinning and hanging there. Is this temporary?

I tried everything that you said, but it won't copy and paste. I'm trying to upload a picture I have in my computer, but it tis not working. I wanna have fun like you guys have!

My NUT says, IF I am hungry it's good to have Snacks like 10+/-almonds, etc. I am skipping Meals, she doesn't like that. But it feels natural to me. Thanks for the info!

only till I find the appropriate picture!

A little bit of advice...use a slightly darker color for your text, I could barely read it. I mean no offense, I hope it doesn't look that way!

Thaks Mgram! What was the discussed reason why you eat only when hungry? Did NUT tell you that?

What do you mean by..."a hard time with a standard meal plan you have a higher risk of failure"... What do you mean by that? Thanks, BTW!

Well I just Liked you back, so there. But what no one will tell me is How to upload those cute graphics ya'll have.

Oh, all the things I could tell you that don't or didn't work on here. Glad your "Like" button works again!

Now, I never said that I was going to upload a picture of moi, no, no! I hate looking at my ugly mug, I'd rather see something cool or pretty. This pic I have now is annoying. I am NOT an animal, oops that's from "The Elephant Man", I mean, I am NOT anonymous!

LoveTheNewMe, I tried everything and it simply won't change. Now I have this anonymous profile as my profile picture. I'm pissed. I've had so many problems with this site. But thank you!

To A New Dawn... how and where did you get the icons at the bottom of your messages?

This sight has always given me problems. I've often thought about moving on to another more reliable site, but I just love you all so much! :wub:

eww, eww...I don't like being particals in space! Can you hear me? Huh?

yeah, but no go. I got it to change to the generic one, as you see, but want to add a picture.
