The Dish

Thank you for sharing your struggles !!! I'm guilty of failing my band too. I've lost 30lbs but nothing crazy. I always come on here, so I don't feel alone in this never ending struggle being the chubby girl. Ohhh and did I mention I had the surgery back in 2008 Recently, I thought the band slipped and had all the Fluid removed. Turns out I have kidney stones near my port site. One day at time right ?

Julie I think you are right ... The revision talk is all I see ... I lost 40 lbs and creeped 20 back since 2008. I'm currently getting mild gerd symptoms .. But it's because I am eating around the band and not excising like I should be. I wonder if the band has slipped. But I can't go through another surgery.

Hang in there ... you can do !!! Drink some Crystal Light ... you might actually be thirsty ... sounds weird ... but sometimes we confuse that with hunger :/ Also... when you get the head hunger ... start doing something to get your mind off of it... it usually takes about 20 mins to not think about it anymore (the feeling will pass).

I can't get it to work either... I click on the chat button on the top right ... it loads ... then I get a blank LBT screen ??? What's the scoop on this ???
