wow where did your tummy go?????? what a great job

the body holds onto water differently each day...I lost 3 lbs one day and gain it back the next. I weight daily and market on my calendar and I can see a pattern with ups and down. I get excited about the lowest weight that shows up no matter when that is. One pound????really!!!! calm down it comes when it comes just keep up the good work.

makes perfect sence to me.

call insurance comp. and ask them also.

it the devil who makes JUNK what are you doing near cookies? lol I cant have them around or anything that its not diet related...I cant be trusted with junk..all. temptations are the devil's way to get you to make the wrong chocies in all of life so you need to watch for him. No more eating for fun its all about health now if its fun food its a slider except bread lol

of course get it check why even ask you know that is the best thing to do, clothing rubs on the bandage and moves a tiny bit. Anytime you have redness around a sore its infected and needs attention.

WHY are you both focusing on the few that had problems? in life there is always a small group that don't do well. focus on your positive life and know that this is just a nothing positive choice you are making to keep you life and health possitie. Any change is exciting and causes unfomilar fellings. You will be fine.

I passed a lot of gas in the beginning because the toxins were getting out of my body and tissues...now not so much however I get very constipated and now need to address that issue..

I thought that was the purpose of the band..for us that couldn't keep it off because we were hungry all the time not because we didn't have will power it's a medical reason as I see it.

doing all the above helped me but a laxative got it moving better, faster and more complet...pooping gets it out of you.

its normal but be prepared for constipation in the future...I have alway had a problem so pay attention to your fiber intake in the future. I just took a laxative yesterday and lost 3 lbs by morning , goes to show you how much you body can hold onto...

at work add 5 mins of streghting its a get start

I have always found it uncomfortable to exersice but this time I joined a gym and went just to get some strength because I wanted to line dance longer at class. Every other day I have to talk mysle into it "iam tried" 'yes, but you know you feel so much better after doing the machines" and I do. I set up 20lbs goals and then add something new to my day either one more glass of water, add one machine at gym, find a new recipie, work on eating lsower just something to keep connect it to the job of getting health...today I have lost 51 lb under 200 now sliding into home base 160. added yoga yesterday it was uncofotable but I feel it today and will force myself to go again.

this is a diet and if you start on a DIET you will loss. Track every bite and you will find you are not on a diet and eating the wrong foods. Junk food out of the house you might want to follow WW diet program I did in the beging and it help me till I got to understsnd how the band helped. It work but so worth it. Keep working on it and see a counselor to help you find what your mind is doing and stopping you.good luck you can do it

wow you are the one I am 2.1 from getting under that dreaded 200 it hangs on for dear life....I did yoga today what a work out maybe that will make the difference for me...thanks to you I wont eat junk this week cause I am was discouraged for a second...

make sence to me what do you have to loss with giving it a try and follow the rule to the letter.

so sorry you have health problems but I love my band. Many people who cant follow the diet rules blame the band for their lack of weight loss cant happen. This is a support group and you have no support to offer. I hope you find what you are looking for mentally and physically..good luck to you

its never been about will power or you wouldn't have gotten the band in the first place. Its about getting the nevers at the top of your stomach to get close enough to send the message to the brain that you are eating and full. It fixes a defect and adjustment to keep it in the right place have to be made.. I couldn't have waited so long without putting it back on good for you for maintining it couldn't have been easy.

I have a big problem with constipation I am trying chia seeds and Today I will get exlax and milk of magnesia .

I have lost 47 lbs since Aug 2012 and my lower stumach is now hanging and touching the skin below and I get these painful red pimple type bumps. They are very tendor and inflamed. When I open it up and push it is cremy white/gray stuff that comes out then I clean it tand cover it and it heals nicely. Anyone else have this? anyway to provent it? anything to use on it so I dont have to open it up? and does this make it medial nessary for a tummy tuck in the future? lol

thanks all good info I will get to the doctor to get it on the books

thank God they waited till you got home lol

you have to really want to loss the weight and o the work like any other diet until you are ready to do the work it wont work no matter how many fills u get...this is a new year an a new dsay get behind it and tske reposiblity for your weight loss you can do it.

mushroom, carrotts, grean beans, creamed corn, onion, celery chicken bollion cudes,sweet pots season to taaste cover with water and cook till tender 30 mintues blend or dont it is soooooooooooooooo good.
