hey ladies, So I'm 4 days out and starving! Not sure that I can make it till Friday for full liquids. I'm weak and extremely tired due to lack of calories I'm sure. The plus side is that I'm hardly sore and having a much better experience this time around. I have my port in my chest, anyone else opt for this? It seems to be a lot less painful than the stomach port was . I had never heard of this being done before. I literally had dreams of pizza last night, so hungry! My stomach feels like it's turning inside out.

My band was nearly 5 years old and had a leak in it. I gained back 40lbs really fast! So my insurance approved another procedure and I went for it. I LOVE the band, I'd do it a 3rd time if I had to. It's totally worth the few days of pain and odd diet for a few months.

Hi, I was just rebanded yesterday July 21st. The post of diet is going to be brutal! 10 days clear liquid, 2 weeks full liquid then 2 weeks mushy. How will I ever be able to do it? Sounds impossible. The first time around my surgeon didn't have me on a very strict diet. I hope that coming back to LBT I can find the support I need.

Long time no talk ladies! Well, I haven't lost a bunch more weight, but have been working out with a trainer since april, and lose 10lbs gain, 7 etc. Back and forth. WEnt to Florida for 3 weeks and gained 10! I'm becoming a personal trainer, I take the test this weekend! I'm so excited. I may start taking clients in January, I already have 3 friends on the wait list for it! I'm have a tummy tuck on NOvember 6th, and insurance is paying! I am training for a half marathon that is in Paris in March. I can only run 5 miles right now, so i"m not sure if I will make it or not but I'm going to train anyway and if I walk part of it oh well. What a memory to have! " I ran a half marathon in Paris! A 26 year old mommy of two that came from almost 260lbs!" Glad to see this thread is still going, it's nice to see what's going on in everyone's life.

yes, I am 19 months out and i htink i have gotten all i can from the band. Its filled to the max and I have very little restriction. I can eat whatever i want. I'm not gaining since I exercise a lot and still eat bandster portions. I went for another fill and they couldn't put anymore in. If it's dry meat or something like that i can feel restriction or if i take a drink right after i eat it shocks me that it gets stuck. i don't know if I'm just desensitized from the full feeling or what. But I think the band has done all it can do and will just hlep me maintain. I'm working my behind off for the rest!

they are the only one i can tolerate actually and they are good quality too.

you are only 23! What about having some fun first while you are thin? Geesh, what an ignorant comment! As if it was any of her business anyway!

hi, I'm from cranston, although i haven't lived there in 12 years! i don't meet too many R.I.ers. I miss clam cakes, steamers, lobster, pizza strips, and good fall river chinese!

American here! only southerners know about grits. My hubby loves them, i hate them. I am from the north. Peanut Butter and fluff on wonderbread is heavenly. must be on soft white sandwich bread to be delicious. I have never heard of eating pumpkin roasted! I've only had canned pumpkin pie. I must be missing out. I love pumpkin. i should try roasting it! sounds good. canned bread is nasty! Most people love it though, I hate it. Canned whipped cream is sooo good. of course I have never made the real stuff, so i don't know what I'm missing i guess.

not sure if that will work, but I loooovvveee these!
