Hey lady thanks for the post. Glad to hear that things are getting better!

Hey fellow Libra, girl. Welcome back! Let's do it. It was great hearing from you today

Hey GypsyGirl, thanks for the comments. I've actually decided to log onto SparkPeople. After being on it for about a month now, I've lost 17 lbs. So, I feel like I'm back on track, even though I haven't lost all of the weight that I put back on after the surgery. But still, my band feels tighter, and I'm getting better. How are you doing? How are you dealing with your plateau?

Wow, I have to say that I'm so relieved to see this post. I'm not even sure what to do anymore. I was banded last March, lost about 30 pounds before the surgery and another 20 after the surgery but I had the weirdest issue with gas (and still do). For me, I always get severely bloated if I DON'T eat. It drives me crazy. The only way that my stomach can feel better is after I eat. Sometimes, if I wait to long to eat, my stomach gets so bloated and gassy, I can't even stand up straight. I went to the doctor, and they did the GI test and discovered that my band was working properly and that I had no other issues, but still the gas hasn't gone away. I've gained almost all of my weight back and am very disappointed in my band. I'm almost ready to just have the thing taken out and go back to square one. If I continue to have this gas issue, I'm going to go to the doctor one more time, and then I'm going to look into alternatives. I can't take it anymore.

hey girl! Good to hear from you. Yes, I'm down 50 pounds and holding. I've been moving, traveling, and working like crazy and now am trying to get back on track. It isn't easy, but I feel good that I've maintained my weightloss throughout it all. How are you holding up? What kinds of tools are you using to help you keep focused?
-
Hey lady! So good to hear from you. I'm hanging in there, girl. I'm still maintaining a 50-lb loss, but I can see that I need to keep checking into this site regularly to keep me on track *sigh*. How are things with you?
-
Hey girl, I'm doing really well thank you. Down 50 pounds now and feeling so much better.
Love your pics! -
Hey lady!
Looks like I logged in right on time, early enough to wish you a Happy Surgery! Don't forget to ask your doc's whether you can buy or use OTC gas pills once you get out. That gas pain can be a bit much, but it DOES go away, thank goodness.
I am wishing you a peaceful surgery and a speedy recovery. Congratulations on taking this next step in your journey!

Hey girl, I'm doing pretty good, I'll be glad when I get a fill, my stomach has healed and now I don't have much restriction. My loss has reached a plateau for the moment, so I'm just trying to really watch what I eat until I see the doctor in a couple of weeks.
Other than that, I am really enjoying the way my clothes fit!
How are you?

Girl you kicked those 50 pounds to tha curb! You look amazing. -50 is definitely my next goal. Congratulations! -
Hi there! I was banded on March 30th. How are you feeling?
Well, I lost 30 pounds pre-op doing diet and exercise but the band is certainly helping me keep on track.
Are you eating mushy foods yet?
Good to hear from you!

I actually have a waist now. I am even starting to wear "girl" colors instead of all blacks, greys, and browns. I have a long way to go..but I can not belive that I have made it this far sometimes. Oh yeah..the shirt is courtesy of Ross 9dres
