Nixon products are on sale on groupon this week for those who use that site guess ill be ordering when I get home tonight thanks for the info

I'm sorry that you had to encounter this idiot. I know the world is full of them!!! I always tell myself remember where the remark came from. I notice that people who like to talk about others or be rude are the ones with issues and need to be that way to deflect the attention on themselves. You are doing great Don't let anyone make you think different !!! Hugs

High five great job

Congratulation and thank you for the inspiration!!!

Amazing job !!!

You look great congratulations !!!

I am 1 month out of surgery and had a fill 3.5 cc last monday ... followed drs prders liquid mushies solids ... I guess I wasn't paying attention when I was eating dinner and well I can now say pork of any kind is currently not my friend. I thought the piece of meat would go down but it didn't I guess I didn't chew it enough or it wasn't small enough. I have been so careful... Well I guess not careful enough and at first I thought it was pb but then I actually vomited. I'm so afraid I did damage to my band ... I plan on going back on liquids tomorrow just to be safe .... N I will be eating with a timer until I can program myself to eat slower. I do not want this to happen again.

Thanks ladies and sorry for all my typos my thumb isn't as fast my mind lol

Thanks ! Yes I had thd pain and didn't want to throw up but. I tried so hard and the next thing I knew I was vomiting I have been trying so hard to do the right things so they will become habit. I cherish my band and want to keep it and me healthy. I figure ill tell the doctor and I'm Hoping a one time vomit isn't so bad. I fine loaded a meal timer app n I will use it to slow me down n make me more aware of my bites n chewing .

Thanks for the info on the meal timer app

Woo hoo congrats !!!!

38 yo female from brooklyn ny banded July 1, 2013

I'm feeling great. Had my first fill on Monday with frank and resumed spinning on Tuesday so now I hope to see the scale go down. I'm still amazed how I'm not starving and am satisfied with so little. Never knew how much I ate till I see how little I eat now if that makes sense. How are you feeling doing? Have u gone to the support group at NYU? I'm thinking of checking it out this month....since its all so new I want to gain as much insight as I can lol

Strange question I had a X-ray tech tell me she had laser treatments and it help to tighten her lose skin after WLS. I was so nervous about the cardiogram she was performing I didn't ask more questions. Did anyone hear of this? She said it looks as though she goes to the gym and she doesn't go. I'm just curious . I kno even with working out my thighs will definitely need to be lifted as well as my tummy and arms n I'm sure a boob lift too . I'm only 1 month out of surgery but I'm preparing for the new me . I have already planned that my 40 present will be reconstructive surgery.

Thanks hazebliss thought it sounded to good go be true lol.. My cosmetic surgery piggy bank needs to get collecting

Hi aggriev I was banded July 1 with dr fielding

This site is a great place so glad I found it ! Welcome to the new you

The full wasn't bad although I did feel the liquid go in the band and it freaked me out which made me wonder if I made the right choice to get banded I guess I'm resistant to change. Day of my fill I got weighed by the nurse n gained 3 lbs I was upset I have been eating 1000-1200 calories how can that be he assured me it was normal but old feelings of defeat came back. Then I felt anxious cause I didn't tell many people and of course an old friend invited me for lunch n I had to decline I felt like the dear in headlights. Tuesday night I resumed my spin class after a 6 week hiatus n was nervous . I didn't tell Instructor about surgery n worried I would hurt my stomach it felt weird but the dr cleared me so all ok. After class I felt like me. I guess this journey like life is full of ups n downs only in the ups and downs this month I never found my comfort in the bottom of a bag of whatever .... I just remind myself I made this choice for a healthy life... N it feels good scary cause its unknown but good. Im learning as i go ...Can't promise I won't have emotional up and downs with each phase but I just get through it. I find comfort logging on here and reading post. A community of virtual strangers I feel closer to people here then my closest friends who are encouraging but just don't understand. N now today I wake up feeling back to normal despite my emotional week due to the fill n some personal issues. The band is my reminder I chose me and my happiness and I'm slowly getting rid of people who no longer bring me happiness. (Long story different thread lol) I choose to be happy and healthy

I have been banded since 7-1-13 n like minimi said redefining relationships n it had been emotional but I think it's all because I'm changing to become a better me and putting me first and that's a strange feeling for me. I have ups and down days. Also freaked out because my sister in law told her sister about my band and I didn't want anyone to know but it all passed. my first fill was Monday which brought a whole new set of emotions but I find myself making better choices for me and can't wait to reach my goal weight n never have to shop at lane Bryant again. Hold on the emotions will even out . If not I agree with Stephanie see someone it will help. You are on this journey to be the best you so all support can help

Banded July 1:)
