myfitnesspal does all that good luck

I didn't even entertasin any other types I had 90lbs to loss and felt the cost, and the lest invasis was the best way to go for me. Good luck with yours

Some of the foods I can eat get stuck to remind me to chew more or today is not the day for this food. Unfortchantly if it junk food everything slids down no so good even pancake will go down boohoo so I just cant have them around.

good I am glad your got a, new doctor and got your fill and keep up the good work u have done very well.

I was told 900-1200 and I do 800 or less and it works great for me.Get your protein and fiber and water I think is more important extra on days you work out I use my protient shake for those days

wow what a great start for the week...gj

don't think about the past this is a new time for you...get checked out a small fill maybe and mean while clean out the kitchen. come to the chat room for hourly help if you need to and least check in nightly. Its so much easier with all of us helping each other...you can do it.

It was hard to follow what you need to know. I have a 100cc band with 6.5cc in it and eat every 4 hours one cup of food about 4 times a day...I have lost 47 lbs since Oct.. the doctor should be giving you a small class of water to check that you are not to tight if he doesn't be sure to ask for one. Hope this helped

I had a absess but got it lanced and put on meds for 2 week and everything is good a well now. I have diebets and doctor said that often happens with that. As I loss weight and the stomach hangs I get little one where the skin touches I spray deorant there and that stop it.

track your intake of everything that passes your lips. Empty out the house of the junk tell family that is how they will be helping you. Most people seem to do well when their bands are just over half full (10cc/6.5cc) if you get hungry b4 4 hours get a fill. I did and life has great after that its been 3 mos and just this week I have been hungry and have to watch myself from hunting. If this keeps up this week I will go in for a top off.

In the begging I use all the tools, smaller forks, plates no tv,measure every food every time, and others. Now I have experience and I don't always need to use them all.

You are getting rid on a lot of toxins so its a great thing. Here wishing you good journey.

It wont in the long run but be sure to talk to your doctor about what and when.

I think just the fact where the band is can not streght out anymore makes the band work. Some of us opening really get large so me need more in the band and as we loss weight we might need more

I was told it depended on how much fat around the opening to the stomach...one size does not fit all.

have one shake just b4 bed or I found just drink hot water pleased my tummy give that a try....you are doing great u are almost there keep it up.

I would think it is the gas so treat that and see what happens in a few dsys...have you had a BM? that will help with the gas. hope u feel better soon

why haven't you got the and fills each month.. I had to get a lttle over half full to get the best results...2 lbs a wk and never hungry.

I make sure I track everything and we all seem to be drinking coffee or tea at some point durning the day. I go to starbucks and make sure I ask for a skinny/sugar free whatever and the tracker has it on there.

wow look for a new doctor now he is a jerk. I am so sorry you are being treated like this. I haven't needed to see my doctor yet to get a fill his nurse does it and I have been very well thank God.how much is in your band total? I have a 10cc band with 6.5 in it and when I reached that point I was so in the green zone at least for now. I hope things change for you real soon.

Great one Jean and you are so right sometimes the struggle or the great victory just flys out of my mouth to any pair of ears around....and I am one of those 2 yrs non smoker and in love with my band so u can picture the mess I can be lol...No one plans to be mean to someone else then you wonder if it is "all about the speaker" or "all about the listener."....food or rather no food for thought there

get another fill and you will not feel full like we use to we feel satisfied and you don't have the food in your head all the time. I have a 10cc/6.5 cc in it and have feel great one one cup 4 timed a day. I have lost 47 pound in 3 mos I just love this band and pray nothing changes. I hope the same for you talk to your doctor you should not feel hungry for at least 4 hours then you know your in the green zone.

I just pray I never have to have a unfil how scary when things are going so well. I am sending you hugs and prays that things get back on track for you...keep focus I know its hard but you can do it and go in to the doctor earlier if you can.

I went threw my kitchen and dumped out everything I wasn't going to east for a while. Told my kids not peanut butter Mom cant be trusted. You cant eat what isn't there even the cooking food items. Set yourself up for . You will learn so much o]with this band and it is very exciting. Remember you will have two parts of your brain the one that wants to be healther , thinner and cutier,, and the other half that will tell you alittle of this or that wont hurt you this one time, or you know you cant do it give up now, you will learn to be strong a d say no and the bsnd so helps that but it is a learning period you can do it....clean out your house now and start your change right now.

I didn't do it either and I think it does make it easier for the doctor to move around it the liver is working hard at the time but not to big a deal he didn't even ask me nor did anyone else. Go on one if it will make you feel safer it wont hurt you .
