I'm so sorry this guy responded the way he did!! I know those words burn into your heart, please try not to digest this kind of negitivity!!!

Donna

Whooo Hooo, Good job, It stinks that you even had to have that conversation. I'm proud that you stood up for yourself!!

Donna

I try my best to avoid them. Some times really hard to do. I have started using Stevia, Look it up it's a natural sweet leaf sweetener. Without sugar and chemicals!!!

Donna

I have the same problem, I'm glad I'm not crazy!! I PB'ed all weekend, at the river (it was 115) I get home and don't feel like I have much restriction... It's crazy how it changed!! I take protein shakes with me.

I don't know if it's a good or bad??

Donna

Yes I have the same problem!!

I get Designer Whey from GNC, chocolate, it's taste good. I put a banana in it for extra texture! It's 100 calories, low carbs, and 3 fat, 18 protein.

Donna

I had my surgey on Fri and was back to work on tues. I am a hairstylist and on my feet all day and work 10 to 12 hour days. The first week was tough I had alot of shoulder gas pain, but I made it thru. It took me a few weeks to feel back to normal.

Everyone is different,

Best of luck!!

Donna

I had the same thing happen, I am suppose to go back to Occ and have them ck me. but I haven't made it back yet. I was feeling less resriction, then more so i will wait a bit to see what is going on.. Wait untill your next fill and see what comes out!! Best of luck!!

Hello,

I was the same way, we think were not going to be able to eat the foods we like. Don't let yourself fall into this trap. It's important to eat healthy and all, but you can still eat what you like, it may just be in a really small amounts. I did this after my surgery, and regret it. It's a mental head trip... Well best of luck to you!! Don't beat yourself up over it... You will have sucess!!

Donna

Way to go!!! I have always wanted to do somthing like that!!!

Trudy,

I struggle with the same thing, we camp alot, dirt bike ride in winter, and river in summer, and it seems like a junk food fest. I can still eat junk, I have to watch that. But when I pack the food now, I buy a big veggie tray and the kids love it!! I try now to bring any junk or at least not much!! If it's not available nobody misses it!!! Best of luck on your journey!!

Donna

That's wonderful!!! Congrats!!

I was thrilled last week I put on some capri's - the button would pop open before!!! if it even closed! now they are alnost to big, YEA!!

Donna

Everyone is soooooo different, I was bummed, but I did finally took me 3 fills to start losing!!! It's difficult because we think it's like gastric, where it's really quick and fast. Don't get discouraged!! you will get were you want to be

Donna

You have lost alot of weight so far and you are doing alot of exercise!!! You may not be getting enough calories, with as much exercise as your doing< how long have you been at a stand still??? it may just be a few weeks and keep losing!! Don't get discouraged your doing great!!

Donna

Jim, My heart goes out to you and your family, I'm so sorry!! You will be on my thoughts and prayers.

Donna

Donna

I Didn't realize the band got tighter with stress, I have been throwing up and slimming all weekend.....

I hope your stress is getting batter, Best of luck!!!!

Donna

I'm so sorry!!! For the most part I have had positive feed back, but you will always get a few negitive nellies....

Don't let it get you down!!!

Donna

Thanks Ladies,

Donna

I will repost and let you know how monday goes!!!

Hey All,

You all saw my post about my port or band is leaking, I talked to Renee today and he said they will charge me 250 to have a Dr. come in and stick in tube down my throat, and 1200 for hospital fee's and a new port. I am soooooooo Mad right now I could scream!! You asked me for a update--------

I told them I have never gone anywhere else for fills or anything else!!!!!

I will let you know what happends on Monday!!!

Donna

I did the same thing, I lost then gained before my first fill.

You need to give yourself a break,

You don't have a lot of weight to lose so you may be at a plateu or a slower process!! Don't get discouraged!! You will drop the weight, it may take a little more time. I stopped weghting everyday. That will make you crazy!!!

Best of luck,

Donna

Again,

Thanks for all your comments!! I feel better!! I will call him today and tell you all what he says!!!!
