Do you burp more now that you are banded? (non-productive, just air)

I burp all the time too! -
The only thing I can say is WOW!! You are truly an inspiration.

I am on day 15 with the mine and I am still loving it. I use it to work out two times a day and I really love using it in the mornings. I agree that it cannot be used for your total workout but if you exagerate some of the moves you can burn more calories. I really like doing the free run in the morning since it really helps to get my day started. I plan on resuming the gym in the very near future but for now this is working out perfect for me. I finally started doing the strength training and it is now my favorite thing to do. Sometimes I will spend 45 minutes just doing them over and over again.

We got one and we love it. I have used it 7 days in a row and I had to get a massage today since I am so sore. I do the Yoga, Running, Boxing ( the one with the music) and Hula Hoop twice a day. I have unlooked many of the strength trainings but I have not done them yet and I am slowly getting into the balance games. I told my friends that I now get up early every morning and go for a run and they were amazed. I have always wanted to work out prior to going to work but I have a young child and cannot leave him alone, now I no longer have that problem. My son is in much better shape than I am but he loves when he gets to tell his friends that he worked out with his Mom.

I prefer working out in the gym also but I we got a Wii Fit for Christmas and we love it. I now work out twice a day which is something that I was never able to do and I get up every morning on go for a run. Yes a run via the Wii Fit. It is awesome and I highly recommend it.

I can't eat ground beef either so I just stick with ground turkey

I have a 10cc band. I wonder if the actual size of the band and the amount that it holds are different things. My surgeon told me that I have the smallest size band because I had very little fat around my stomach I( or something like that) and he showed me my pics/xrays and someone else's to help me understand how little fat I have. It felt good to hear him tell me that but I wished the rest of my body was the same way.

I have the same issue. I was warned that with the extra release of estrogen my period would be a lot differnet and they were correct. It's heavier and lasts a little longer.

I had my first fill at 4 weeks and I am almost back to that amount. I am afraid to even look at the scale but I also know that it will put me back on track. Sometimes I just need a littl reality check. Hopefully you will be able to get your fill and good luck with your weight loss.

I had to get an unfill because I got sick and now that things are back to normal, I can't seem to stop eating. Luckily I have an appt to get a fill on Friday or I would be in even bigger trouble. It's like I am trying to make up for not being able to eat and I am trying to get everything in that I can. Has anybody else experienced this?

I fill like I am going backwards. I have had two unfills however I am still loosing weight so I am not complaining. The day I started my pre-op diet I weighed 250 a week later, the day of my surgery, I weighed 240. As of yesterday getting my second unfill I weigh 166. I don't actually plan on loosing any more weight because my weight is 166 but I look like I weigh 20-30 pounds less, mainly because of my height and build. One of these days I need to learn how to update my ticker or just remove it.

I went from a 44dd to a 38c and I can fit some 36c's. I could probably go smaller but the I need room for the extra skin.

Update: I went to see the Dr. and they gave me an unfill and I immediatly felt better. They also told me that my pouch was swollen.
