The last two days I got stuck at lunch. Only 2 out of the 3 ladies that sit with me at lunch know. The lady that doesn't know looks at me funny and asked if I were pregnant today LMAO! she thinks im going to the bathroom to throw up which is kind of true but not. I get so hungry im at the point where i swallow the first 2-3 bites. Ugh it hurts so much and I get up to walk and go to the bathroom. It's so much more comfortable when I get stuck at home rather than at the office. Im about to just tell her I got the lapband so she can leave me alone lol . Also, she looks at what I eat and asks thats all? annoying! what do you do when you get stuck infront of strangers? Im going to run out of excuses why im going to the bathroom. I dont want her thinking im on the toilet that long or making myself puke.

That's exactly what happens Julia! You are so right! I was trying to cover it up but I couldn't, it hurt so much and i started getting hot. I ran for the bathroom gasping for air. It cuts my air intake and I feel like im choking along with sliming finally it goes down and feels better, atleast at home it doesnt matter how long it takes for it to go down. But at work, I feel like im timed. I need to concentrate alot more and slow it down. I know

It happens when I start eating......Im so hungry that i think i swallow the food instead of chewing chewing chewing.

What does NSv mean?!

Checking in at 232....I believe its a 4lbs weightloss since the last time I checked in 2 more lbs till I meet my goal!

Mine is below my belly button. Actually, kind of inside the belly button on the bottom lining. If that makes sense lol You can not notice it, but I can feel it if I push on it. He put it there because I have my belly button piereced and said he didnt want to ruin the piercing lol

I get cotton mouth too!! It's weird isn't it. Also I can feel the band gettIng tighter and then it goes away.

I have no problem so far with salad.....wrapping some lunch meat with romaine lettuce is not a bad idea! Need to try that.

Checking in today at 236 (2lbs loss since last wed) I've been stuck in the 230s! only 6 more lbs to go for this challenge

My doctor took care of all that! They have certain papers and a procedure to get approved. Good luck!

I totally agree with u! some people on here like to throw things in our faces cuz we are new and dumb. I cant believe how some can be after losing 100lbs. Its like ha ha ha you are an idiot for posting that on here how dare you? I find alot of things on here offsensive and its sad when we come here to find support and answers.

I can't stay off the scale! I hate my scale and want to think it's broken! I was banded on 12/20/2010 and only lost about 5 lbs since surgery! this is ridiculoussssssss. Its already February and I think I should have lost alot more. I have 8ccs in a 14cc band. I constantly think about food and want to eat everything I see. I eat alot less than I used to and walk alot now. I do get slime and stuck so I know there is some type of restriction going on but Im hungry a couple hours later. I think I have alot of head hunger that's why im going to vent right now here. Im thinking about going in for another fill hopefully this monday :/ any suggestions anyone?

Im going for a fill tomorrow

Glad to hear that everything went well! You sound like me when I had my surgery! It was a piece of cake wasn't it? only troubles I had was getting up from the couch. I didnt want to bend my stomach lol my poor sister had to come help me everytime. It was pretty funny because I wouldnt bend my knees and kept like a stiff board. Now to a speedy recovery Good luck!

Its interesting how you gurggle while sleeping? hehe I gurggle when I am full after eating. I don't think it will go away, those are signs of someshort.

Elfiepoo...why does it matter to you what people post? I have seen u put people down and are usually harsh,. We can say w.e we want in here.

I went for my first filling and I now have 6ccs in my 14band. No restriction yet and I go for another filling in 2 weeks! Ughh can't wAit to start loosing

I went today for another fill and now I have 8ccs. Hope I will gain more restriction! I'm always hungry! My doc doesn't require the liquid or mushy diet after a fill.

I've been banded alil over a month and waiting to start this weight loss. Can you tell me what made you successful in your weight loss? any secrets with which foods you ate the most, tips or "tricks" you did to lose weight? I also tend to eat when bored at work and would like some snack ideas instead of going downstairs to the store and getting junk food! ugh Im currently at 6ccs in a 14cc band and not at my sweet spot yet.

Yeah, I have 5 ccs right now im my 14cc band and I can't tell a difference...Im going for a fill tomorrow and Im going to get another 1cc. They want to take it slow only 1cc at time, hopefully I will start feeling restriction soon!

Thanks ladies!
