And I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Hi ladies anyone can set them up I think @fashionstylist setup the first one. I think due to the holidays everyone got a little busy. But I think the 1st of the year would be a great time for us all to get together. I'm located in the Champions areas and would love to meeting you all. I've been banded since 5/3/13 down 47lbs. It took me a couple of months to get to my sweet spot but i'm glad i'm finally there

Congrats I'm at 6.4cc and I've been in my green zone for about a month. I still have some challenges get all my protein and water in because I'm not really hungry until around 1 or 2pm and in the mornings I'm tight. All and all I thinking I'm doing great. I'm 219 as of now onederland is approaching. Hopefully I will be there b4 Christmas. I hope everyone is doing great. Happy losing.

I'm so sorry I missed everyone. I honestly forgot. :-(. I was thinking with the holidays approaching I need to set some goals for myself. I'm not sure how I will feel emotionally with not being able to eat like I used to. A goal will help me stay focus. What do y'all think?

I'll be there also just let me know the details.

I'm 3 months out and have the same problem. I just read that taking a probiotic "might" help. I just bought some and will be trying it out. Wish me luck!

Congrats!!! I think I'm at my green zone also. I had my 4th fill last Tuesday 6.4cc now. I've lost 8lbs I have been having a problem getting all my protein in b/c I forget to eat but I'm setting a reminder on my phone so I make sure I eat. And getting all my water is another story. But I'm very please that my tool and I are finally working together.

Hey ladies I hope all is well. I'm doing well not much weight loss but I know i'm losing inches especially in stomach (not complaining about that at all) . On 7/23 I got a fill(#3) which brought me up to 6.8cc and i'm finally starting to feel the restriction. I've gotten stuck A LOT at-least once a day but that's just a reminder to me to take smaller bites, slow down and chew. I'm going back on the 6th i'm going to ask for .2cc and I think I should be good for a while with that. Workouts have been good 1-2hrs session but I only go on Saturdays and Sundays the workout is murder on my hair. I'm getting braids next week so I don't have an excuse anymore . Also after this last fill I noticed that i'm really tight when my cycle starts so going forward I will do liquids and really soft foods during the 1st couple of days. And it looks like i'm tight in the AM also I get hungry around 10-10:30. I'm excited b/c I think I might be departing the band-er hell phase...lol I'm praying that the pounds start falling out. And i'm praying for all of you stay encouraged and focus. ~Cia~

I'm at the same place I'm just trying to maintain my lost until my 2nd fill 7/2. Right now I can eat just about anything but no more than 2 cups. I also get hungry every 4 hours and when that 4th hour comes I turn into the hulk if I don't get food. I know I'm eating more than I should I just make sure I workout so I won't gain. Just be patient when we get to the right restriction we will be on our way.

Hi ladies hope all is well. I've been doing ok. I had my 1st fill on 6/2 not much restriction and only a 4lb loss since then. I'm hoping my next fill 7/2 will put me in my sweet spot. One think I know I'm defiantly losing inches. I hit the gym atleast 3 times a week. I would love to meet with everyone. I've found that support by those that understand your journey is vital.

They help break down the food that's stuck. I saw some banders talk about it on YouTube and made sure I got some. They worked fast for me.

Y'all I've had some stuck episode already. I'm not sure how much restriction I have now but I get my first fill tomorrow. All I know is papaya emezynes are gonna be my best friend. Hope everyone is doing well.
