Sorry it took me so long to get back on here.. So what is I NEVER PB'ed or slimed wht dies tht mean? Ive dont think Ive heard of that before. Im sorry that u are still on liquids that is the hardest part...... Just think of the weight u are losing though ... I dont like salmon or any kind of fish unless it is fried BAD i knw and now Im sick of that because of Lent..... I dont know that I have ever really eaten 4 to 6 oz of food.... Ive nver actually measured it I guess,,, Boy I feel like Ive been doing this lap band thing wrg .... I knw I eat to much and sometimes I feel like if I wat anymore Im going to puke and I do quit but Im still hungry.. I dont understand how the stomach knws that is all ur suppose to eat... Do u understand what Im saying.... I feel like Im back at the learning stage again How Ive lost 86 pounds I dont know..... How do I knw if Im eating around the band? How did u knw u had a fatty liver or your enzymes were still high??? Do u know I havent had any kinds of tests since Ive had the lap band Am I suppose to> I dont even see my lapband doctor unless I think I need a fill I never talk to him or anything.... Havent seen or talked to him in 6 months since my last fill... Is tht normal? Are u always Cold? I am freezing all the time... I had my reg doc do blood tests for cold intolrence and he didnt tell me anything was abnormal. I sit in my work I do credt card protection in a call center and I have glves on and a cover and a sweater on at all times... How are u feeling? Do u feel differrnt ? So u have horses huh... Thats nice How many kids do u have? Can we exchange email addresses? I understand if u dont want to ..... my email is shellemployee2000@yahoo.com

Hi thanks for the response.... No I am no where near my weight loss goal... I started at 301 I want to get to 180 at least I would like 165 but I have to be relastic.... I am hungry all the time seems like. I dont have any heartburn at all. The only time I get sick is when I eat chicken or anything that has a stringy texture after cooked. Like Beef pot roast or pork roast or anything along those lines. Yes your right that probally is high in fat...What kind of foods do u eat on a daily basis.... Ive wanted to ask someone that.....I will check out that book.... I know about the number thing,,,, I was concentrating on tht alot... I just dnt think tht my dr wants to take the chance of me being to tight.... I live 2and half hours from his office in Champaign IL. Maybe that has something to do wth it,,,,, I dont knw I jst wish he would take a chance. His nurse told me that he had one of his patients die because if the fact that she was to tight.... But Im not her and I feel I would live with the restrictions and the tightness to get to my goal if he would just give me the chance.... I like Dr Oliphant I know he is a great doctor he is head of the trama unit at the champaign Urbana hospital which is a stage one trauma unit that takes the worse of the worse cases..... But maybe I need to find a dctor that is willing to work wth me..... What do u think? Have u ever thought of changing doctors?

Hello everyone. I havent been on here probally for a year. I went to a weight lss class wth a friend and realized how much I miss the support. I am down 86lbs since I started my weight loss journey. I havent loss anything in 4 months though. I have difficult doc that insists I do not need a fill. He insists none of his patients are higher then 5and a quater ccs.....I know he is looking out for me and I trust him I jst think tht he is to much on the side of cautiion. I think I eat to much at a sitting. I have always thought this since I had the band. For instance I can sit down and eat a new your strip steak and a small bake potatoe at a sitting and I think thts to much.. I would love your opionion on this. I have trouble eating chicken and pork roast and bread.... I have 5 ccs in my band Not sure how big my band is though. How do u know a band slipped I was curious on that. Also I have had a pain under my port site off and on for a couple weeks. Opinions?> Im so glad you are all doing well...

Ok Been feeling really dizzy latetly. Been having killer headaches to. Went to reg dr today and he told me that he feels that I may have a problem with my metoblic rate and that I may be getting migranes. Had a horrible headache the last two days worse I ever had and then today I feel like Im drunk,. Wierdest feeling in the world when your not . Has anyone else had these problems? Been banded since Oct 15 and havent lst for a bout 2 weeks now Wierd that this all started about the time I quit losing.... Help

Hi all. Have a date set October 15th. Cant wait . Im on the prediet and let me tell you it is one of the hardest I have done.EVER. I know in the long run it will be worth it but ......Im looking forward to Broth after How funny is that. I never thought I would think that way lol.

How do u get the ticker to actually shw instead of a link>>>>> Thats another frustration,,,,,, Boy I am full of frustrations seems like,,,,,,,I need to do something postive,,,, think ill get off the computer and go pick up my new and first grandson......

Hi everyone.... Congrats to those just banded. I feel like my surgery will never happen,I cant find any meetings in IL that are somewhat near me. Ill travel 2 hrs if I have to. I have to fit one more in before I go to the doctor on Sept 28th. I have lost my motivation for this preop stuff I mean how many carrots and salads can you eat ???? I have lost 21 lbs since I began this whole insurance diet thing and I cant gain 1 pound or the insurance will take away my approval..... I know this but I continue to eat..... HELP,,,,, I keep telling myself oh Ill be fine by then but shit it took 9 months to loose the 21 and I can gain 5 in day it seems that is NOT fair. I hate my metabolism.....uggghh.........

Thanks I actually started back in Jan and have finished the pre authorization last month. I had to talk to a nutrionist every two weeks for 6 months and lose 15lbs to prove to them I was serious. Ive lost 21 so far. I got the appoval letter 2 weeks ago.... Yeah !!!!!:drool: I live in a small area of about 20,000 and my doctor said that my insurance company has only approved this for one other person tht hes known of so he was shcked that they did. Only catch is that I cant even gain One pound between now and the surgery or the approval is going to be taken away. I figure I have to loose at least another 10 before my appt so my weight wont have fluxuated since all woman do. I am nervous Im not going to be able to handle the after care of the diet but I think on the other hand that Im motivated enough to somehow get thru it I know that outcome will be worth the work...

Hi I am going for my doctor consult and nutrionist on the 28th of Sept. Cant wait . I went to my first support group meeting tonight. I was in the wrg group it was the gastric by pass group. I stayed and listened it was informative. I was having doubts of which I wanted again until I read the risks with the other and then rememberd WHY I chose the lap band. Let me know how it goes. Good Luck :smile:
