I think I have the flu or something. All day I've been nauseous and running to the bathroom to use the toilet. (sorry!) On top of that I have this terrible pain in my stomach and I've gotten the hiccups 3 times. Each time lasting 30 minutes or more. Anyone know what we get hiccups from? Or whether it's related to illness or anything of the sort? Thanks for any information. =) -Dani

No I haven't had a fill recently. My last fill was March 25th or somewhere around there. I don't believe I even need a fill right now but I had never gotten hiccups before yesterday and they lasted sooo long. Another thing is that I was hardly eating yesterday because I was so sick. I had to force myself to eat and could only eat a little less than 1/2 a cup. So I don't THINK it was me eating too much too fast. =(

I don't believe you need a fill as of yet. I felt that way as well when the swelling went down after my surgery. I ALSO eat 1- 1/2 cups of food and am full and have seen steady loss.

amazing, girl! you look YOUNGER!

I hope everything will be fine. I was worried I'd be the only bald girl doing hair hahaha. I guess I could invest in a nice wig!!!! A friend of mine said lack of protein and another told me fast loss. I guess both can be factors but I am going to call my nutritionist tomorrow and get that straightened out. See what she has to say. I LOVE my hair though. It's so sad. =(

Well I haven't been banded for even a year yet. I was banded in january and since the beginning of all of this I have lost 51 lbs. Knowing that the band is here to help me and that I have to do the rest is key. =) GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

I've had the lap band since january and lately I haven't been exercising much. I need to get on that, but i will share with you what i've been doing when I exercise. I have an elliptical at home and have gotten up to 35 minutes and about 4.5-6.0 mph when I do that. I have a bicycle exerciser too and I rarely use that because I feel like it doesn't do enough for me but I have used it occasionally. I have dance work out videos and I enjoy those because I love dancing. I have an exercise ball that I love to use to do crunches, push ups and wall squats. =) I have lost 51 lbs since the beginning of all of this. =)

I have had lapband since january and have lost 46lbs including the pre-op diet. It is and WILL BE possible for you to lose more than her if you follow the rules and do what you're supposed to. Maybe she shouldn't be the one you go to for nutritional advice. It is always helpful though to ask a fellow bandster about feelings...discomforts, pains etc that we are curious about. remember to do what's best for you and your band and you'll be fine.

My name is Danika and I'm 21. I had lap band surgery in january of this year and along with the pre-op diet have lost 46lbs as of today. I have an 18 month old son and I'm currently in cosmetology school... =) it's my passion. I am engaged to my sons father and we've been together for four years. I spend my free time with my son and doing homework or housework, haha. every tuesday I go to karaoke in my town with a few friends as well. I'm so excited about my weight loss and my wedding. In September I will be getting married and I hope to be around 135 lbs by then!
