Steph to me it sounds like you are what my surgeon calls the Red Zone. Not a good place to be! It can mean you are actually too tight, I have had unfills before. She told me you eat the bad stuff because it is full of fat so it can slip down easier. The good stuff doesn't go down because you are too tight! Good luck and welcome back.

I hope another houseguest takes that damn red leotard while Jen is in the shower and uses it to choke her to death. I think all of America would be on their side. Do you think we could get America's player to do it?? lol... Not that he is good at any assignment as of yet! lol... he did one crappy job of sleep walking. What was he thinking?? I am ready for Joe to go, he sucks too. He reminds me of a snotty high school girl. Ugh....

I don't think the band ever will be, but the port does stick out as you loose!

Hey my girls! How are we all doing? I got a small fill today, not that I really needed it. I lost 11 pounds since last month. Almost to goal! WOOOO HOOO! Dr said they would help me promote the book as well so I need to get my ass in gear to finnish it!

I was a binger as well. Almost weekly. I did it once after the band, and will NEVER do it again....trust me you will be ok! I voted for the baby too! :confused: I saw it on another thread!

Hi Dorthy Welcome! Read and investigate lots! Always remember that everyone is different so what you read may not be the case for you! Wish you best of success! :confused:

Thanks Nancy. :confused: I had surgery about 1 year ago now, on August 1st of 2006.

WOW! Congrats Gayle! :confused: I bet you feel like a new woman! I hope that I am as lucky as you are and loose that much from what I call my muffin top.

There are somethings that you just won't be able to eat with the band. For me it is bread. If you are getting stuck now, without restriction I would be very careful down the road. And remember just because something is ok 1 day does not mean it is ok the next!

Ihave become aware of my band now, but it is not weird or hurting. Sometimes when I cough I can feel it or if I gag or PB. Nothing major and I certainly don't think about it 24/7. I think it is good that I can feel it. It reminds me sometimes "Hey don't eat that" Of course the freaking port as I get smaller is another thing....I am so sick of it.... blah....in the way now when I want to sleep. :notagree

I thought I knew but after further reading, I clearly do not know! So what is it?

Claire sweetie-- It is ok! As long as you haven't progressed to solid foods you are fine! As for that annoying fear, it will get better, some. I am almost 1 year and still worry sometimes. But you will learn as you go and feel more confident that you are doing the right thing! Good luck!

Girl--before you do something drastic like having it removed see your Dr! Talk frank with them and COUNT calories. I was also amazed at what things REALLY add up to! You can do this, you want it, so tell them to help you! Also keep a food journal and SHOW it to them! Tell them you need to know how to make this work for YOU! Everyone is different, you may need more of a fill! Talk to the experts! That is what you pay them for after all! Good luck and keep us updated!

11...11....11...fall off...fall off....fall off NOW!

Hey guys, I wanted to start a thread for all of us waiting to make it to Onederland.... Let's support each other!

ROTFL....I said that exact thing to the tv!

I am up to 120 lost!!!!!!!! Woooo hoooo......

I am so sorry you are having this problem. I would also ditto telling you to bring him to a seminar. But also I wonder if he is afraid that you actually can do it with surgery and that scares him. Anyone that says this is the easy way out should eat sh*t roll over and die. It is not easy! lol...Worth it, but not easy!

Hello ABC bandsters! I have been absent from you all for so long! How have you all been doing? I have had some struggles, but feeling great. I am feeling like a normal person now. Although I wish I wasn't obsessed with the scale or everything that goes in my mouth. Anyone else feel that way?

I love BB! We have the Showtime, but I find it rather boring so far...I am sure it will get better! I am loving HATING Jen. I have never hated anyone this much before on BB. All I see is bad things happening if she gets HOH...b*tch....lol...

Hey guys how are we all doing? I am still in disbelief that I am under 200, scale sat for so damn long....lol...says I am 195 now! We can all do it!

Va--wooo hoo girl you are on your way! Rock it out sister! Welcome to the skinny side! Soon you will be out of the 18's and down lower! I am not mad it moved (I think..lol..) I am mad it took so long and really scared it is not real! lol... but it happens to me EVERYTIME....I stay stuck forever and then I scheduale a fill and loose..why?????

I am still 40 pounds fom goal and have a huge amount of loose skin. Mostly in my stomach area. Once we have decided whether we are going to have more children or not I am going to get a tummy tuck. I am so sick of the roll of skin..... blah.... :cry

Nat---wooo hooo girl you can do it! Drop those 3 pounds like a bad habit baby! Thanks for the kudos! The Carnie thing had me rolling! I am so freaking pissed off today, but no idea why....lol.... I dropped under 200 to 197! For a freaking month I sat at over 200 and overnight I drop???? Ugh....I am convinced it is not real. Anyone else ever drop a TON so fast?? (like 7 pounds) Va--ENJOY the quiet!

I do the same thing here at my favorite coffee place. I get iced coffee and I am very particular about how it is made. I always tip, and now my favorite girl makes it for me. I have even seen her do it for me off the clock because she knows that I have to have it a very certain way. Tipping can get you much better customer service!
