You sound just like me!!! I was banded April 07. I was 214 and as of this morning im 192. Ive only had 1 fill due to expence so i have 1.7 in a 4cc band. I still get stuck regularly. My kids ask me all the time "mom when r u getting that band out?" Theres no rythem to it. I can eat one thing one meal, and the next day the same thing will b stuck. Dr said it looked like i have a moody band? ugh! I'm not giving up by any means, just want to see a change. I would be happy with a few lbs a month! I am just getting over a cold/stomach thing...I did loose 3 durring that, so im tring to stay eatting what i was then...I sure hope you find something that kicks in your w8 loss soon. Please share if you do and ill do the same. We are all in this together.(L)

oh, im up too 20 min 4x a week on my gazell. thanks<p>Hummm... I found some old(not expired) Phen in a drawer. I have to w8 till the 14th of may for my first fill. I really want to loose 5 lbs before then. Dose anyone see any problem with takeing these with the band? I was on them for a yr, they only worked on me for 2 months. I kept hopeing, and throwing my $ away on them for some reason. I havent lost a thing for over 2 weeks. Any thoughts on what i can do to rev up my motabolism naturaly? my cals are good. 900-1200. just not loosing ugh. Thanks for any advice!</p>

Hi there, I was banded march 24th and i hear you. I lost 18lbs right off the bat. With in the first 2 weeks! I've continued to be very carefull with what i eat wich isnt easy with 4 small boys to cook for 3x a day. I havent lost a single ounce since then. I get my first fill may 14th. I will be watching to see how your fill goes! The lady i talked to making the fill apt had lost over 100 lbs in her first yr told me this happens alot. we stall out even right away. She said for her, the fill will kinda shock your system into loosing again!! I suuuure hope so, for both of us! Im sorry about your empty house syndrome. I cant imagine haveing to give back children youve had for 2 yrs. My heart goes out to you. You must be a very special person. Keep up all the good you've been doing, it will catch up with you.

Welp, The only way i can loose weight fast was with the clear liquids. No fun but honestly, if ya do it every other day and then do slimfast or a low carb shake w/salads n veggies for the other days. Im going to try this to for a bit. as soon as i got off clear liquids my weight loss stalled and i've been a good girl(mostly ) with what i eat. I sure hope this helps ya! Take care. You'll do great im sure

Hi all, I havent posted to this thread yet but have been fallowing it. I was banded mar.23. Oh, Im Mimi 36..from OK. I was banded in TJ MX. This thread has been such a big boost! I dont really know anyone thats been banded and havent really told anyone but my husband and out of state sis. My problem is, im 3.5 weeks out from surgery and am on soft foods. Today I heated up som pre pkg pork roast, and put some salsa /sour cream on it. i took 1 bite, Chewed it up realllly well and swallowed. welp, the next 1/2hr i spent pb ing like crazy, I think I took to big of a bite to fast? not eatting that again!!! Anyway, My question is. should I stay on clear liquids for a day? Or reg liquids? I dont know? ive just been able to sip on hot tea since. Nooo fun. Ok, nice to meet yall and thanks for eny advice.
