Lady VS

Wow! Congratulations.

Simply beautiful. Amazing. Congratulations on your weight loss and continued success.

I haven't received a compliment that was unpleasant. I guess I'm a fortunate one on that. But they arrange from Wow! you look really great. Girl, what happened to the rest of you? to Heeeyyyyy sexy!!!!! I love that one best.

Even though I'm a bandster, I did. I felt fine but went back to the liquid diet because I didn't want to hurt my band.

When I first began this journey, I started out with Whey Protein Chocolate flavor $15.98 at Walmart because I love chocolate. After a year or so into this weight loss thing, my taste buds changed so I now purchase the Strawberry flavor still Whey Protein. I only make a shake for breakfast when I'm not really hungry and just want to get some protein in. Most of my protein on a daily basis comes from food as well. Congratulations and good luck to a healthier new you.

I just simply bite, chew, and swallow. No problem with grapes. It is one of the few fruits I don't have a problem with.

It sounds to me as if you are too tight. I have been there and done that so many times. I'm glad you are in constant contact with your doctor. I would personally have a small unfill. Good luck and hope you feel better.

Congratulations on the weight loss. As you stated you "eat too much or too fast". Those go against band rules. Slow down and eat just a half cup of food. Good luck.

Unfortunately we do go through this from time to time. I too sometimes forget and take too big a bite. My band is at the point that it won't allow the food to even get through which is good for me. If I bite slightly larger than the normal small bite and it does go through and I didn't chew, chew, chew, oh my talking about a horrible feeling. Thanks for the reminder. It's always a good one. I'm glad you were able to throw it all back up. Continued success.

Congratulations!!!! Keep up the good work.

Amazing. You look great. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Continued success in this new year.

Almost there. Go girl!!!

Actually I do. Even though I'm below my goal I think I probably weigh myself 5 times a day. Yes it's crazy but I do. LOL I can't wait to go back to work tomorrow so that will be one less thing on my brain.

Wow!!! You go girl. Good for you starting earlier than instructed. Yes having a headache is part of your body not having the food and other stuff it has been used to. Just take tylenol or whatever you take and you'll be fine. Congratulations and welcome to banderland.

Welcome you guys and good luck on your journeys.

Good luck to you in this new year. God bless you.

Hi Rita. I understand totally your frustration but wouldn't rush the healing process. I remember being anxious and was only disappointed when I couldn't get a fill. Just keep following your doctor's orders and you will be fine. Welcome to banderland and good luck losing.

Hi Debbie. Your blog was great. Now that I'm three years post op it's relatively easy not to endulge and overeat. I ate a little of this and that. Had a drink or two at the parties I attended. Didn't exercise except one day I felt like walking on the treadmill and that was only ten minutes. Life below goal is great because you do find yourself enjoying life and not focused on food so much. Good luck with continued weight loss in this year.

Thanks for sharing your story and best wishes to you in this new year.

Rarely hungry. Maybe eating 4 oz of food. Sometimes eating three meals other times one. Just not feeling hungry or having a desire to eat.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Happy new year.

Keep up the great work!!!

I'm a tea person. Raspberry preferably. When I do have a soda craving, I will drink half a can of sprite. Coke doesn't taste right anymore since I've had my band.

Fortunately, no. My neck is so skinny now I look sick lol. Didn't realize it until we took pictures at my daughter's bday party last month. Good luck though.

Awesome!!! Congratulations!
