Well how's our friend across the pond? Did u make it to the amusement park? How's everything else going? Keep in touch

Yes I have many blessings in my life. As of the 23rd it has been 6 weeks when I started preop. As an average I have lost about a 1/2 lb a day for the last 42 days. Feels good that I'm making progress. I'm finding that I am doing other things to keep me busy and when not I am finding I can sit still and not snack. It's wonderful to know that with the band working together towards one goal it feels good without the feeling of deprivation.

Am I sliming? Well reheated my meal from the day before that had gone down easily this time watching tv and not paying attention. Slimed everything up. So after 30-45 min later had a Protein smoothie. The zucchni and salmon hadn't gone down. I chewed good but not slow enough or not small bites I guess. Had my food allergy testing today on 6 different ones not allergic. 70% chance of rain here and my head feels like a balloon. HURTS!!!!!! Hope you all are doing good today. What do you press if you don't want to quote but just to post? Hey I'm a slow learner. Lol

You're very welcome. You earned it. I weighed yesterday and lost 21 lbs so far. My pain is less but something still inflamed. But eating good. Had about 1/2 scrambled egg and a piece of bacon. Having a strawberry banana smoothie for lunch using my pro. Pdr. It all went down good. Small slow bites...I'm learning. Lol Going to movie this afternoon... I can control myself.....popcorn is not going to derail me. I'm feeling really good and up that even with the little pain I am doing it.

Could be something in the gummies that is giving you headaches like food coloring and the hurting in your throat could be the vit swelling after you swallow or right before. Either way asap to lapband doc this isn't normal. Goodluck. I'm a newbie myself and get alot of headaches but since on liquids nary a one. Getting allergy testing. I tested a few years ago for environmental she pricked me 10x and I was allergic to all10. This time testing food allergies. I have alot of sinus problems and if it feels like you can't swallow your throat maybe trying to close. I wouldn't take those vit. I take flintstones chewable until I get my new order of really good ones... chewable tabs. I hope you figure this out . If it's not the band then I would get allergy tested.

Angemc-sounds like you're on your way. 2nd fill just maybe what you need. I've hadv3 headaches today. Since I'm not really eating...oh well...I get my allergy testing on monday. We'll see then. Glad you're gettung your fill then maybe your losing will be more frequent. Night.

Some people want what they want but not willing to do what it takes to achieve that goal. Too many banders I've found throughout this various sites are just complainers. They thought with the band that the work was done and all they would have to do is to sit back and watch it happen. Unhappy in most situations because they don't have the willingness to do what needs to be done. I'm not too far in my banding but I am 63 yrs old and at this point in my life I damn well better want this in the worst way. To follow the rules and hopefully have another 20 or 30 years to be extremely happy about my life with wls. I'll make mistakes and I may get depressed I'm not completely in denial that all will go my way. But I am going to do my best to let wls be my friend and not my do all.

Hi I am always looking n these sites scarfing up all the info I can get. I don't know of anyone personally so I have to gather info where I can. I'm nor a complete follower, I can think for myself and I do that by taking the suggestions or the pros and cons of doing something one way or the other. I am a newbie banded 8-13. But I know my body but I do take some advice from others and tweek it to fit me. I don't know if I would have made it this far without all of you. Thx
