I was kinda wondering the same thing.. I am going for my first deep tissue massage since being banded and I was wondering if I should be worried about anything as well.... I would like to know the answer to this question as well....

Which do you guys do?

I have been doing low carb trying to keep from gaining until my first fill, but as you all know low carb can get old pretty fast... I haven’t had any bread, pasta, sugars, crackers or anything other then meat and vegetables THAT’S IT... Kinda getting bored with that diet really fast... I know this is going to sound crazy but I am kinda scared to count calories, I am scared I am going to gain and lose. I know it’s a mind thing because I have ALWAYS done low carb and so trying to wrap my head around counting calories and losing weight doing it is kinda hard to comprehend. I know me and as soon as I go to counting calories, I feel like I am going to use all my calories up in carbs….Does this make sense to anyone? I am kinda discouraged right now because I am holding steady at 185 and have really been good with my eating and can’t seem to move the scale so I need some advice right now.

OUCH!!!!

Ok you got me worried about going for my first fill next Tuesday!

You poor thing, I think I would have to find another fill doctor honey.....

How are you doing with your fill so far?

YOU LOOK TERRIFIC!!! HOT MOMMA!

Ummm I need to know the secrets too please!

I asked Dr. Martinez about this while I was there in June and he said to wait about a year or until I have got to my goal weight... I talked to my OBGYN last week and recommended at least 4-6 months but I will wait atleast a year to be on the safe side.. I hope to be at goal by then.... Awww cant wait to see our little lapband babies on here!

You can do it! Keep up the good work honey....

Cathy that is great progress honey! You are doing sooooo great!

Mona you look great! I can tell a difference from when I saw you.....WAY TO GO GIRL!!

Welcome back honey!

Thats awesome news! Good work!

That is something to be very proud of Barb!! Way to go!

Paula that is great progress! Way to go!

WOW! 25 pounds that is great! Good job..

Think about all the good that is going to come from the surgery.. The few negative things like the PB'ing and farting should be the least of your worries... Its a part of life and everyone does it.. If you meet some one that says they dont of course they are a liar!

Sounds like you had a good fill! Hope you have great restriction now!

Cathy that is awesome! Glad you had a great fill! You will be back to solids before you know it!

You look great!!!! You are soooo brave!

No worries, it is not bad at all...

Good luck!

YAY for getting a date! I went alone and had no trouble at all.. Just pack light so you dont have to worry about lugging around heavy luggage on your way home.. Good luck!

Glad that you like it Cathy.... I ordered my Thigh Master today, hope I see good results with that.. Did you measured before so you can tell if it really is taking inches off or not?

I havent gotten to this point yet... I am kinda scared to wake up the fast food beast... And it would be sooo easy to do since its just me and I dont want to cook all the time so fast food is sooo easy! The fast food I do now is subway salads.. I am low carbing right now to try to maintain until my fill (hoping for a good fill) but I cant wait to be able to eat a hamburger again!

Misty- Krystals is my weakness! My WHOLE family is Krystal freaks!

WOW! That is a great fill! 3 cc's!

Which band do you have 4 or 10 cc?

Jessica you can get it just about anywhere they sell laxatives.. Its in a green bottle usually on the very bottom of the shelf....

Really I have seen it on TV and thought that is the machine I really need.. Today I was looking at getting a Thigh Master, that is something I can do at my desk at work. I read good reviews about it.. I am going to read the reviews on the Leg Magic..

How are you liking your Leg Magic machine?

My thighs are my biggest problem and was really thinking about getting one so I wanted to see how you are doing with yours?
