All this talk about clothing sizes...does anyone else have THIS problem: my legs are probably a size 16, but 16s won't go around this ball of fat/skin that hangs down in front of me! I have to buy 18s (and they're TIGHT, but keep me from eating crap) and then they're loose on the legs! Same thing with dresses...have to buy the bigger size for my damn tummy, but it's loose everywhere else! Now I blame this pannis (technical term) on my 12 1/2 lbs. baby (and subsequent large babies) and just a little on my weight gain so sometimes I think I DESERVE to have this "badge of honor", but I'd sure like to have some pants/jeans that fit properly! I'm not having trouble with holiday treats...but I do make fudge for Christmas and ALWAYS have too much of that...maybe I'll do something different this year? ...... nah, I'll just work out more! :-)

Well I'm glad you don't post stones either...hahaha. I know it's a little thing but it makes me so happy not to have to convert your numbers! Yes, losing a bit gives me such a lift! Esp. now that the Orlando weight-gain-while-on-vacation is gone. Woo hoo. Onward and downward. Oh and yes please share pencil sketches of your "man" hahaha! Hugs to you Coops!

Janet, I can feel for you on that liquid thing. I too get fills every 2 months or so and this last time when he filled me, I had been complaining about being able to eat anything, including the kitchen sink, so he put .6cc in my band this time (was averaging .2cc at a time) and OMG was I tight. I bet I did not eat more than 300 calories a day and nearly nothing to drink from that Monday till that Friday. I was kinda getting worried but suddenly on Friday it eased up a bit. I am still tight but no where near as tight as I was. I like where I am right now so this may be my sweet spot (if Doc agrees that is...I lost 6 lbs that week alone and cont. to loose a bit faster than I was). The protein power I was talking about is Smoothie King's signature protein powder. Do they have Smoothie Kings where you live? They are like a "coffee shop" for nutrition shakes. It is actually officially a juice bar. So kinda like going to GNC where you can find all kinds of nutrition powders, going to Smoothie King you actually buy the shakes themselves. They have a huge assortment of different types of nutrition shakes from shakes specifically for weight gain, muscle bulking, protien specific shakes and of course their wonderful low carb, high protein shakes which are awsome meal replacements. They can put all kinds of different flavoring and fruits in them. I crave those things sometimes. If you are currious, you can look them up online at Smoothie King Look specifically for the Gladiator Low Carb Meal Replacement under supplements. It is so YUMMY! My doctor is kinda picky about protein shakes and suppliments but he absolutely LOVES Smoothie King. I am sooo weighing every day now. I have got to be present the second I drop below 200. As much as I have lost the last 2 weeks, I have suddenly come to a screeching halt just before hitting "onderland" and am pouting greatly. I will be yelling from these mountaintops the second it happens :hurray: Ok, bedtime for me...you all have a great weekend...

Beautiful day here also. If you didn't get outside and enjoy it you missed it. I took doggie for a walk. This morning I took the sheets off the bed and washed my winter flannel sheets and put them on the bed. Also got the electric blanket out and put it on. Tonight I'm gonna be all snuggly warm. I got 2 really nice compliments at church this evening. It made me feel good. Nice to know that people notice the weight loss. Haydee, I was so relieved to hear how you are doing. Really glad to know that things sre going smoothly right now. Keep it up. We went out to dinner with some friends. We went to Golden Corral. I ate a butt load of veggies. I then decided to treat myself and I had one chocolate cookie and a lemon bar. I have my doctor's appointment Monday and I don't think it's going to go well. I've lost some but not that much and than on top of that I have had some water weight gain. You can see it in my cankles. I'm hoping that I get a little fill. Need it to help me get thru the holidays. TracyK, I still have my jar of peanuts and bag of candy corn. I'll wait a little longer till I mix them up together. Have a great evening and waitng patiently for Judy to return.

I forgot to say that I started with a medication called Celexa for anxiety & depression. I thought I would be given Wellbutrin but the dr. chose Celexa due to added anti-anxiety benefits compared with Wellbutrin. Of the SSRI's this one has a low risk of weight gain (although it still has some risk). I have not noticed any increase in appetite or weight since I started two weeks ago, but I will be on the lookout as I get to therapeutic levels which can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks.

I hate having such a problem with fluid retention. I know those 2-3 pounds of weight gain overnight is excess fluid but it is still disheartening to see on the scale.

My internship started out like h3ll...racially oppressive in-patient Catholic psychiatric hospital + useless advisor + dual role supervisor = miserable + depressive first weeks + lack of sleep+ NO energy + weight gain! Enter awesome supervisor + supportive intern group + supportive seminar class = happy as $hit intern that is working with awesome supportive supervisor to change racist environment! Plus I'm loving working on the in-patient psych ward. Never a dull moment and I love the fast pace!

I'm a little salty today for some reason. I will get over it. I think it really hit me somehow that I will have to make very careful choices for the rest of my life. I feel that I will never be able to indulge in the things I once enjoyed like a bottle of wine. Even if I do enjoy a 4-6 oz glass of wine... I have to worry about sugar, calories and weight gain. Sigh...

@Sai thanks. I am feeling better it was just a not so aha moment. @LisaMergs yes LMAO!!! my 12 year old uses that word a lot!!! can you imagine feeling salty? but for some reason that sums it up pretty well. @wlsresources/clothingexchange no... actually I don't love violence in the kitchen-- it kinda scares me. All those knives and sharp corners-- it could get pretty messy! lol!

hi, overall I have done ok, maybe not as good as I would like but I look at it this way... If I was not banded I would have had all my weight gained back, so yeah! I am doing alright!
How much have you lost? I have 37 to goal, I started at 232/ 182 LBS. now. My advise would be to never give up, we have worked way to hard to just throw it all away, and last but not least do this for your self for a life time, NOT for an occation that will only last a day!! Good Luck to Ya! -

Thinking about my appointment on the 30th with my LB surgeon. It's been 2 years of steroids, an accident in September and no exercise due to pain. I am disgusted with my weight gain and the vomiting from the band. Hoping a solution can be found before I give up.

I have gon till D5 of my cycle w/o falling trap to the sweet cravings and I have no weight gain. I am so proud. Now I gotta get off so I can see how much weight I have lost. I have followed the LB rules for 2wks now and thats an accomplishment alone.

Hi there, I've been technically banded for a year now and originally lost 137 lbs but due to heartburn and reflux I've been totally defilled 3 weeks ago and gained 12 lbs. I have 3 weeks to go before they fill me again with 6 cc's in a 14 cc band. I was up to 8.3 which was helping me lose weight consistently. I'm getting depressed and discouraged because of this weight gain which I worked so hard to lose. Has this happened to any of you, and if so, how do you cope?

I go to get a fill wed and thank GOD! I don't have any restriction and it is killing me! I ate a 12in sub yesterday. It was healthy but damn!, I hadn't did that since last year! (lol) well, since may last year anyway. But no weight gain so im cool. Holla at ya later!

OK its been a very very long time since my last post. I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary in Feb 08. I've not had a fill in probably 7months. I've noticed lately though 2 thing one a steady weight gain I think about 5-7lbs since my last fill and I've hingry all the time as if there is no restrictions and I've had no surgery at all. Now let be honest I've broken every band rule in existence especially driinking and eating. Which is the reason for this post. Is it possible that I may have permanently stretch my band......Help...suggestions...I have a fill appt in mid Jan09.

hi. i saw your post regarding your fills. i don't know if you have reached restriction yet. however, my surgeon actually receives these devices before they are available to any other surgeons to test.
he no longer uses the realize because he says that it does not inflate properly to restrict and that it would not result in the proper weight loss, in fact could turn to weight gain.
instead of inflating inward to restrict, it tends to prolapse against the pressure of the stomach. inflate up/down/outward... which does not produce desirable results long term.
just fyi
