Hi there yes it has been a long time since I was on line. Thanks for the e-mail and check in. I had my band on Nov 28 2008 and I have lost 75 lbs and I am off all medications, my diabeties is gone, my high BP is gone and I am looking fine. Now I wear a size 8 in a pant and 12 in a top It use to be 18 on bottom and 2 X on top. I think this decision helped me live longer so i have no regrets. It is the best thing ever. I still crave foods I should not eat from time to time but only treat myself once in a while. I got something stuck once and the DR fixed it no problem by taking out my Fluid asking me to drink a big glass of Water and replacing the fluid. I think it was corn on the cob that got stuk. Love to hear how the rest of you are doing. Kirsty:tt1::thumbup::thumbup:

Hi I was banded November 28th 2008 1 year ago I have lost 40 lbs since my band and 10 lbs before surgery. I work out 5 hours a week and I am doing the biggest looser at my gym. I am finding it very slow. I don't want another fill at this time as my meals come up quite a bit, especially if I eat to fast. I am loosing slowly but I keep going in the right direction. Any clues as to how to get it off faster? kirsty49:eek:

Hi mom2two I to have a problem at dinner time. I think perhaps I am eating more than a cup of food at that time. Perhaps because i am talking to my husband I don't get the full signal. Something I will watch this week.Morning and lunch are just fine for me. good luck Kirsty49

Hi ddgalarza what size is your band and how much do you have in it? Kirsty49

I still weigh the same., I am going tomorrow for another fill. I have about 4.3 in my band so I need more. Kirsty

:cool2:Hi 2-loose-fluff Great Weight loss CONGRATS it gives me hope. What are you doing to get such a great weight loss. I was banded 28/11/08 and I have only lost 21 lbs. What would a normal day of eating look like for you and how much do you have in your band. Also what size is your band? Mine is a 9 cc band and I have 4 and a bit in it.; I can still eat normal if I let myself. kirsty49

:lol:I am going crazy trying to update my ticker can anyone help me. I click on it and nothing happens. I try going into ticker factory.com and can't find an update page. Thanks Kirsty49

:tongue:thanks for all the good advice I have not hit the sweet spot yet. I have a 9cc band and have 3.7 in it. I go back on March 3rd and I hope to get restriction then. I get the odd BP(2 times) if I eat fast because I am hungry other than that nothing. Kirsty49

:scared2:yes it sounds like you are and it is not easy. Try and stay away from liquid foods but drink lots of water in between meals (make sure it is 1 to 1 1/2 hous after you eat) Try and increasing your protein I use protein drinks. (24 grams of protein) Try and stay away from the bad carbs they make you want to eat and cause cravings. ( bread pastries crackers potatoes etc) The South beach way of eating is a good one till you get filled. For now it is just like dieting The fills will make a diffrence. Cheers and stay positive:thumbup: Kirsty

I got my firs fill today and all is well. I felt restriction and did not feel hungry for about 5 hours. Kirsty
