omg you lady look wonderful what a great support you must be for each other congrats to yo both.. -
can anyone tell me what a slipped band feels like? Thanks:blush:
-
thank you so much.. I have been looseing so fast in the last few weeks I was a little worried but none of the things you discribe are happening. I guess I am just so tight and need to get an unfill in the near future.( another 15 Lbs or so ) I didn't know that the band could get tighter with time.:scared2:
-
Is it possible for the band to get tighter over time ? I had my last fill in Oct.09 and I have been feeling tighter then ever, is this possible ? Any help would be great. Thanks :sad:

Hi Gorda, thanks you so much for your comment. I have had 4 fills in a 10cc band and a total of 6cc. I have great restriction in the mornings I am pretty tight so it is kinda hard to eat so a kellogs protien shack is great. as far as tone goes I really am not having to much trouble with that I ride my bike as I said and left weights but other then that nothing. hey and 30 lbs is great so keep a good outlook and MOVE MOVE MOVE. I look forward to hearing your progress. thanks again for you sweet comment. -
30 weeks 100 lbs down and a size 10 jeans and small top ( jeans alittle tight but give me a week and they will be perfect I hope ) I haven't seen a size 10 in 30+ years...

well I have a stationary bike that I ride 15 to 20 miles a day ( not all at one time, I have a bad knee so I ride 5 miles at a time) and I have 2 1/2 lb bar bells that I left anywhere from 30 to 40 reps. As far as what I eat mostly protien, beans , baked fish, kellogs protein shakes are really good and the slim fast bars are a great snack, cottage cheese and I also eat alot of the weight watches meals I can not eat the whole thing but they are pretty good . yuplat whips yogurt from the freezer are the best just like icecream, fresh veggies are really good. just know that the band is the tool and you have to work it and don't let it work you... We can do this is my saying. Good luck to all. -

I was banded on July 31, 2009 started at 258 lbs and as of this morning I am at 167 lbs. from a size 24W to a 12 reg. yes it is very exciting but I always buy me something new because I feel that I deserve a gift for all my hard work, the band is a tool for me and it works if you work it. but give yourself a gift even if it new panties something SMALL always makes me feel that I look good and feel good reward yourself.......:scared2: -

yes right after surgery I could only sleep on my back but within a few days I was able to sleep on my side holding a small pillow agianst my port site. But I think this is normal. It will get better as time goes by.
