vicki's band replied to loraine's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Oh Val, I thought finally I was where I was meant to be, and then this is happening and I am sooooo discouraged, I am either too tight or too loose, I am going to call on monday and see of I can get scoped, scared to get it done, but more scared of whats going on inside my esophogus.:smile: I also feel miserable, cant eat or drink anything or I'm in every bathroom getting splashed in the face. eewwwwwwww......... -

vicki's band replied to loraine's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
yeah, wish I could say the same...since I have one person left to talk to....lol.... I am feeling tight again, it comes and goes usually, but it is not going away this time, even water stays put for awhile, I have been up and down sooo much, i dont know what normal is anymore. does liquids stay in ur pouch for some time, if i try to burp, water comes up. I know it sounds disgusting, but I need to talk to a bandster to see if anyone else experiences this. Also, sometimes when i eat, i experience really bad pain in my chest until i get rid of it....any response is sooooooooooo appreciated..:thumbdown: -

everyday is a challenge, one way or the other, but isn't everyone having challenges? So i say val u must have made an impression if he is calling everyday and u must look great if everyone is telling u and it doesn't mean u looked bad before, u just look better. it must be an ego trip to have all this attention so take it and run with it. lol.... Jenn, good for u, didn't know u started seeing someone, I'm jelouse of both of u. I am down to 192 this am, 3 more pounds to reach my 100 lb loss goal! yay. have a great day everyone and if you have any duds u want to get rid of toss them my way...lol -

Thanx Val and Maria, I was there at 9:30 and didn't get out till 11:30 ugh... Maria, I am sorry to here about your breakup, and Val is right it is his loss. The first year of the band is the most exciting, so enjoy your ride, he will be really sorry when he runs into you in a few months. Ha..... -

Yahoo! I seen the hoff today, down to 194, lost 8 lbs in 6 weeks which is huge for this stage of the band. 5 lbs to go to reach my 100 lb loss target. I am soooo happy, don't really know how i did it, been eating a lot of no sugar added edie's ice cream with whipped cream on top. Could it be a diet breakthrough? Lol.... -

No friggin way, another scope, wow, I am frettin' over the upcoming one in the spring, I have an appt with the hoff on wed at 945, so maybe he will set a date. why did you go for a scope anyway, i am going cause i've had some pretty terrible heartburn on and off since the band. It scares me cause of the cancer thing. wishing you well, and keep us all updated...:eek: -

Maria, you should lose (on average) 1-2 lbs per week, so if you lost 10 lbs in 5 weeks, you lost 2 lbs per week. You are on track...some weeks you will lose more than others, and some weeks none, it is the average amount of weight that matter. Wait till your a year or more out, you'll be happy to lose 2 lbs a week!!! lol then you can curse.:scared2::cursing::cursing::cursing: -

:mad: Hi Buckets, welcome back, anyone who has been on this forum know I too struggled with the same senario as you and finally lost, down to 198.5, but can go over 200 in a day. it really is what I put in my mouth, cant blame anyone but myself, but it does get harder after the first year, much harder. so just focus and try to let go of the carbs, i'm trying but it is soooooo hard, especially after the holidays..:wink2: -
