OK from now on... when I get stuck at a weight, I'm posting here. I lost a pound a day since posting I was stuck. Nice. I don't know what I did differently. Let's see... we adopted two kittens yesterday 8 week olds. One boy, one girl... so we have 2 girl cats, and one boy. The adult one is fixed, the other two will be asap. I have to call around about that. I finally felt comfortable enough in my 16W's that I wore them out of the house. It felt so good. I felt so proud. I'm seriously getting hungry soon after eating, so I have officially lost all restriction. So I try to keep myself busy. Teri

Oh and any ideas for solving, or fighting back with our struggling point. I hope this helps someone.... first off not feeling like a failure, when they read the struggles others are having, and second off, maybe a suggestion that works for one might help another. For me... I try to eat my meal just before Matthew's (didn't work out right last night), and then I can't munch on his leftovers. Somehow in spite of licking my fingers yesterday I lost a pound. teri

I'm anxiously awaiting my first fill. I should have gotten it next week, but now it's November 4th... so far away yet.

Gosh I'm so sorry for all you're going thru. I had one appt they gave me a little attitude about bringing my 2 yr old twins to. I told the lady front up, I'm a single mom, and no one I can find will baby sit my twins, that I can afford. So they're part of my journey, like it or lump it. Lifting on the disabled one has slowed my healing, but we knew that would happen. SO we've accounted for it. I bring things to keep my boys busy to appts, but they're pretty well behaved. Sounds like Liam is too. Is there anyone else you can go to for fills? or another nutricianist? hugs teri

I'm struggling to stay with it... but another pound down this morning. I'll take it. I did a ton of walking yesterday, so I guess it paid off. teri

I am a month post op tomorrow. I love my band. My only regret was not getting it sooner. teri

I went from being a full blown type two diabetic with two shots a day, to no shots. And in the last weeks, I've had several bouts of low blood sugar (tested and proven) and my dr's told me to drink about 4 ounces of apple juice. (i can't drink oj, makes my tummy yucky). That fixes it. Haven't needed it in about 10 days. So maybe I'm leveling out. I feel so much better now than just 1 month ago. I'm so glad I made the choices I have. Just wish I had done this in 2002 when I first looked into it. teri

I barely made it a week

I was glued too... teri

I'm going out of town for my son's (2 1/2 yr old) surgery. He's having a port a cath put in for his hemophilia. I hate this. I don't want it. I think it's for the birds. But they've all but come out and said if I don't do it, and he gets hurt, they'll turn me in for neglect. I hate drs! So my perfect little one will have a scar the size of our port scars. He'll go thru the pain we have/are. He'll get needle sticks in it after a month, 3 times a week, and big bad mommy gets to do it. He's gonna absolutely hate me. That said... I am going with pre packaged meals. I'm moving to soft solids today. I found low calorie meals that are 1 serving, with high Protein levels (21- 23 grams). I'm also bringing my Protein shakes in case I don't tolerate the meals being stressed. I can get milk there. I also have several bottles of Water with me. I have my Vitamins packed. Diapers, pull ups (have to take his disabled twin with us) sippy cups, clothes for them, and me, toys (just a few), their meds, my meds, and my walking shoes :redface: I'll be sure to be pacing the floor waiting to leave. While I'm gone my PC is going in the shop for some work. They're adding memory, and crashing the system, making sure everything works when I come home. I will get it sometime thursday afternoon. So I'm told. teri

I won't even be able to view the thread later, at least at home. But I need some ideas. I can check in later on my cell, so I'll look in. I can't post from there. But I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem. I've had pressure on my right side, just under my rib cage, where the "trocor" was. (Not sure it's spelled right). If I moved right, it'd hurt. This morning I woke up with pain moving at 5 am. Have been up since. The area hurts when I breath, cough, pass gas, drink, and move. I have called my surgeon's office but no answer back yet (course it's been all of about 30 seconds). Probably a pulled muscle? Oh I have at least put off Michael's surgery until later today because of it. Maybe even a few days later. Teri

Just about a half an hour ago got my pc back. I'm ok, it was a pulled muscle. Told me to take my muscle relaxer, and rest for a couple days. If it improved to just continue resting (ya right) but if it didn't improve, to call them in two days. If at that point it continued or during that time got worse they'd put me in. Good news is it went away on it's own. teri

I'm struggling now with the I wanna munch syndrome. But fighting it. I have no chance of a fill before November 4th. That will be a horribly long day. But I'll make sure I'm there. Surgeon's office for a fill, then home to get my son from grammy's and then back to the surgeon's offices for support group. And I'm bringing the clothing exchange buckets. (i took over that in september, just before my surgery). teri

I'm finally back. Whooo hoo! I'm all on solids. I can't eat bread. It sticks in my chest. I can tell if I eat to fast, as it gets stuck for a moment or two. Then it slides down. I can actually feel it. I have absolutely no fill in my band... won't until November 4th. I can't eat lettuce either. That makes me PB. I guess it's just something I won't tolerate, at least for now. I don't mind the bread to much, as I know I have a serious addiction to that. I got to a point I'd eat a half a loaf in a day, pre op. My weight loss has stalled, but I've not gained a pound. That's good, considering if I don't watch what I eat, I'd gain a pound a week. I am exercising nearly every day, and for 20-30 minutes a day. I'm working on the gazelle. I enjoy it. I put on music, and go to town. Michael's surgery was postponed last minute, so now it'll be in November. Other than that, I feel pretty good. teri

I'm back... took so long because my PC died. His surgery was cancelled last minute. The dr is sick. Thanks for your kind words. Now it's planned for sometime in November. teri

I was home alone. I was fine. I did take more pain meds than I thought i'd need. teri

Now that I'm back... it's only a few days until my own surgery... so I'll go ahead a day or two. For September 15th we have listed... If I miss you I'm so terribly sorry. Mommieof4, southerngirl24, shelly311, SPEBSQSAlady, bloomerific, SashaVaughn, Marienola, chicamam1, kingbird, pandagirl I pray you have a nice easy surgery, with no complications and a fast recovery. Terilynn

I was looking forward to a fill, truthfully this morning I woke with a horrible pain in my right side. Seriously hurts as bad as when I broke my rib on that side. It hurts to breath, move, and God help me when we leave for the babies surgery. I'm so dreading that. Sorry having a bad day. teri

I have the lapband AP. I still don't know how many cc's. My surgeon said the same thing about me. I guess it's a personal preference after all. Teri

I'm down in cooperstown NY and I got in I made my first phone call April 08, first related dr appt june 5, and met my 5% weight loss August 10, surgery September 16th. I was so ready... and I started real food today. Gosh I'm afraid of taking bites of food. So I haven't eaten much yet. I had some chicken from chicken and dumplings. left overs ya know. That was ok. I want something with flavor :wub: Won't happen the next few days. I hate going out of town. teri

I bought activia for that reason. Didn't believe the ads, but I'll tell you, since starting mushies, (and I start real food today) I can tell you this.... it's a lifesaver for me. And only 70 calories (light version), for 4 ounces. Leaves me feeling full, and I go almost daily, little bits. But if I miss a day, I'll go right back to constipated. Oh I tried the miralax, the colace, and even the benefiber. Not much relief, just lots of gas. Teri

I have been cleared for low impact exercises, no weights. So I'm working on a gazelle. Day 3 and no pains, no problems, more energy. No weight loss though :redface: teri

We have a bunch for the final (official) day of September. Wishing our samuri luck, healing, and lots of support. We're praying for you Cthomas44420 shellshock JWRN maranda dherem and Pradice73 teri
