    Hair loss

    I found the BEST (all natural / non GMO) pills for this problem and they really work! It's called "hair, Skin, & Nails" by ItWorks! I had a bald spot starting above the left side of my forehead, hair loss and thinning all over. These pills not only filled in my patch but it made my overall hair much thicker, stronger, and longer. I even noticed it in my eyelashes too! Not to mention my skin looks amazing! These pills have the same ingredients as Biotin pills but at a much higher dosage with additional supplements that you will not get in biotin pills. They work so well I became a distributor! Link to my website to order this product: http://wrapsbydez.myitworks.com/shop/product/322/ $33 for a month supply if you join as a "loyal customer".

    Awhhh....Thank you! Work in progress; you have to be patient w/it.
  4. I've never had to small sip any liquid. I can still almost gulp just the same, I said ALMOST. BUT I can NEVER eat and drink, I will for sure throw up!...lol. Luquid does not help the food go down at all it just fills up in my throat like a clogged drain.
  5. Getting stuck is when your band is too tight or you are eating the wrong foods and they do not go down the band good. The food just sits there "stuck", it's painful. Your band it trying to get it to go down but it wont go. For me I end up throwing up in order to get "unstuck" and stop the pain. This might be "TMI" but it's not the same type of throw up from your stomach, the food never makes it to the stomach. So it's more like you just chewed your food up and spit it out (no stomach acid). The point of me bringing this up is because I can't stand to throw up or see anyone throw up; this isn't as bad.
  6. I'm finally figuring this "band' thing out! I notice I have good days (can eat really well) and bad days (everything wants to get stuck). Sometimes I do wonder if I'm too tight because I can throw up everyday. One thing that I'm really starting to notice is, if I let myself get to the point of being hungry (empty stomach), NOTHING and I mean NOTHING will go down except liquid. At that point I will have to drink a Protein shake to stop the hunger, wait a little while, and then I can eat solids. Weird, I know?? Also, I've noticed my band is more tight in the mornings and late evenings, or if I'm upset. I like to eat a soft fried egg in the morning but somedays I can only eat a couple of bites. Here are the things I NO LONGER can eat or I will PAY DEARLY! White rice (brown goes down fine) Sushi Rolls (sashimi goes down great, and high in protien!) meats (ANTHING STRINGY) Cooked Fish Brocolli and salad does not go down good. Breads (sometimes I can get down 1/2 slice of wheat bread toasted) *I'm starting to eat more GLUTEN FREE foods and this is helping me a lot. But like I said, I'm still questioning if my band is to tight because my weight loss is slow. I was banded Feb 2, 2011 and I've lost 40lbs. I'm around 6.4cc's.

    4 months out

    I had my 4th fill today for a total of 6.5cc's. At 6cc's I still had very little restriction. My doctor told me today (because I was whining saying "when it this thing gonna work"), that the "lap band" (not sure which one you have?) usually hit's the sweet spot between 6-7cc's. I'm on liquids today, so I'll know in a few days if it's working. I was told that I will only be able to eat about 3/4 cup of food in one sitting and I will have to sip water because it will be hard to take multiple gulps. As of yesterday, I was still able to gulp and eat more than 3/4' cup. I just choose to eat the healthy stuff so I’m still losing either way. I DO throw up when I've tested out pasta, breads, and shrimp (or just ate too fast). So it's definitely working when trying to eat the bad stuff! I feel your frustration though. The good thing is....yes, we are still losing weight! Hang in there.....40LBS is Great!
