Are you making sure you take your supplements? Wow loss of appetite. Lucky you. Well just make sure when you do eat that you get plenty of Protein and nutrients. Is your doctor ok with what you're doing? What does he/she say about it? I had a brief loss of appetite shortly after my surgery but of course it came back. Also, make sure when you make your CIB that maybe you mix in fruit with it. That's a good way for you to get those nutrients.

It feels like you sat down and ate a big old Thanksgiving dinner minus the really uncomfortable, sleepy feeling afterward.

You are so right. I have to remove myself from the day-to-day weigh ins and look at what i'm losing each month. I've lost 10 lbs since Easter. By the end of summer I will probably be down 20 more pounds.

After about 2 weeks I was good. By then I had my staples removed and I wasn't sore.

You probably won't feel much restriction at this point. My 1st fill was 4cc's and while I got fuller a little faster I really didn't have much restriction. I have 6cc's now and while I definitely have a bit more restriction it's still not much.

Wow 90 lbs in a year. That is awesome. Keep up the good work. You will get those next 40 pounds I know it!!!

I think I may get a tattoo. I definitely want a breast lift and a tummy tuck but I still have a long way to go in the weight loss department.

WElcome! Congrats on getting banded. 32 lbs is awesome! I definitely agree that this is the best move I have ever made.

Wow lucky you. Usually it's the opposite.

Hi Zoie! Congrats on getting banded. Hope you have a good journey!

Lets see: A candy bar every day lots of pop cupcakes pizza good luck. have fun. your last harrah before it's diet time!

Uh yea. you shouldn't be throwing up 3 times a day. That's not good for you. Your band is probably too tight. Please make an appointment with your doctor and let him know what's going on. Good luck.

It's going to take some time to adjust that's why they start out slow. Let your body adjust to your 3cc's and in the meantime really watch what you eat and make sure you work out good. You will still drop off some weight before summer.

That is so awesome! I'm so happy for you. Lets see here are mine: I lost more than a foot in inches I have so much more energy I exercise I'm getting more and more protruding bones I'm starting to get a nice shape

Liking meat is a good thing with the band. Bandster rules are protein first, then veggies/fruits then complex carbs. It will just let you eat less. You will get fuller much faster. I was 313 lbs at the start of my journey now I'm down to 263 and it's only been 3 1/2 months.

I think you'll be just fine! I went onto mushy foods within 10 days instead of 14 and I'm doing just fine.

Try soft vegetables and chicken. If that doesn't work then I would wait another week or so before trying them again. Good luck!

I think sometimes if people have alot of weight to lose they get the GB because they lose it faster than if they get the LB even though after about 3 years everything evens out. Maybe LB wasn't an option for them. Maybe their insurance only covered GB and not LB. There are alot of complications with GB. Even with out the LB GB would never be an option for me.

Good for you! That is so awesome. You will be back on track in no time. Keep us up to date on how things are going. I think going to OEA is a great step! Congrats!

15 lbs away - you can do it!!! I'm 13 lbs away. I know I'll be pushing it! I want to reach my goal so bad I can taste it! lol.

I'm sure going to the gym will help make a difference. Good luck!!
