Just-Ice

Can't answer for sure. I use a bodybugg, it monitors how much I burn and how much I eat. It sure helps me figure out when I can add a snack and when I need to walk away!

I'm doing the P90x. It's kicking my butt.. but my butt is getting smaller

I knew I did it the first time - didn't know the second time. The first time I had a lot of burning around the port area. Yes, it did require surgery to have it flipped back. It wasn't fun at all. I'm betting this time won't be so great either. I'm still unsure what I did this time - unless it was the p90x program I've been doing.

Actually yes.. I have flipped my port twice now. I was banded last January and flipped it the first time last July. I went in yesterday (can't seem to stop throwing up) and tried to take out a bit of liquid but couldn't because I am flipped ... again. I know what I did the first time, but no idea this time.

I'm doing the same thing. Had mine done January 2010! I have a dr. appt Friday.. we'll see what they have to say about it.

I had my surgery 1/12 last year. In June I took my daughter to a national bb tourney (she was playing in it) and I was bent over trying her shoes. I felt major burning around the port area. I had pulled all my stitches on one side and flipped my port. I had to be opened back up to flip it back. I am very careful now, but also do P90x and run 2miles a day. The P90x program has an ab ripper that kicks my... er.. abs? but haven't had a problem since they stitched it back in. Hope that helps.

I have had mine over a year. I wouldn't know what to do without it. I have found that if I skip a few days of wearing it, that is when I gain weight. I am much more aware of what I'm buring and what I'm eating when I wear it. I upgraded mine to the one that synchs with my phone, however it doesn't really do it all that well. I find I get really excited to synch it after a run so I can see how much I've burned off. :

I do a grilled sausage and cheese sammy for Breakfast sometimes. The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it! 2 slices of bread 1 wedge laughing cow 1 slice 2% cheese turkey sausage crumbles (I like jimmy dean) Heat the sausage up (or cook regular turkey sausage then crumble). Lightly butter one side of one slice bread. Put in pan. Cover bread with slice cheese. Add turkey sausage to top of sliced cheese. Spread wedge cheese on other piece of bread, then lightly coat other side with butter. Add to top of sammich (yes, I said sammich) in the pan. Heat till lightly brown. Normally I cannot eat bread, but this ends up toasted nicely and I can eat it just fine. It's also under 300 calories. Recipe from the new Hungry Girl Under 300 Calorie cookbook. Fantastic book that I highly recommend!

Congrats to both of you! As of this morning, I am down 45 lbs!! Whoo-hoo! I'm very excited too. I can't wait to see what we will be like next year at this time!

Ok, so I started at a size 22. I'm wearing a size 16 jeans now. My shirt from a 2XL to an XL. BUT.. the scale hasn't moved in 3 weeks?? I just can't explain it. Everyone keeps asking me "how much have you lost now?".. but none in a while?? I can SEE the difference body wise, but still befuddled.

I have it too. I have a new dr appt in the morning with a second dr. The two cortizone shots I've had directly in my heal worked for less than 2 weeks (together) and I've had it taped. I've also gone to physical therapy. Nothing is working. I stand at work and it's just getting so very bad. Hopefully the doc in the morning will have something new to say. hopefully...

Haven't read the article, but wanted to throw my lazy 2 cents in. I too have had my gallbladder removed and still get pains occasionally. According to my doctor, it is totally possible to have that issue.
