  1. argh over 2 years out and weight slowly creeping back up :( up 22 pounds from my lowest (which was at my 1 year bandiversary)

      Its a never ending battle - we have to make a life long change and watch like hawks to keep us in balance. Its part of who we are as the formally obese.

      Almost there - doing great - but those last 10 pounds can be a bugger so really push hard!! Congrats!

  3. After having my surgery in 9/2008, I got pregnant and had a baby on 2010. Weigth loss has been slow but steady!

      Congrats on both - a baby and slow and steady are both awesome!!

  4. New problem..extra skin, and back pain...anyone else?

      I think we start doing more and sometimes our bodies rebel - I started yoga and palates to build more core muscle - Bella is right on. Extra skin - know it - surgery....

  5. Is there something more that we can use during the clear liquids to make us want it? I'm full all the time and the smell of certain waters and shakes make me nauseous.

      I got the heavy duty protein water at GNC.

  9. Does anyone have any advice for scars? I have bad keloids, but I was really hoping they would go away :(.

    1. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      Hi Mariam, I had some bad ones and had cortizon shots. They help shrink keloid scars. I also use Bio-Oil Scar Treatment on a daily bases and use Dermablend Leg and Body Cover to hide them. (Its a concealer for body for scars and tattoos).

  10. still learning....why do I not want to throw out old too large cloths...afraid of failure and ???

    1. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      Throw them out - you're not going to fail and if you have nothing as back up and to go back too - you're most likely succeed. That's what I did, I have never looked back.

      Do it!

  11. So frustrated, haven't lost any weight since June 2011... I'm a little over half way to goal, but still have a ways to go!! Anyone else have this problem and overcome it??

    1. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      Yep, change up your eating and exercise program - surprise your body. I would have to "ramp" it up from time to time to get it moving again. Try crossfit - if you're not on groupon get on it, its online and you can get exercise classes cheap - I always use it and change up my exercise mode from time to time. Change the times you eat and focus on clean protein - start every morning with a large glass of water with one lemon juice in it. Good luck!

  14. Going to get a facelift on the 28th - can't wait to have a normal neck again! Yippee!!

      I'm going local - live in Bellevue - I've had three other procedures and just stayed close to home. I heard they were good but that is just my preferance. Got my band at the OCC and love them!

  18. i had to re-schedule my next fill for Dec 4th. I'm scared of Thanks Giving Day...for the first time in my life.

    1. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      You're going to do great - focus on what it is about - thanksgiving - with the band we focus on more than food, we focus on the spirit of the Holidays - which is more important than just eating a bunch of stuff. Congrats, you're on a journey now - have fun!

  19. Can't believe the holidays are here again - this will be my 5th Thanksgiving with the band!

    1. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      You'll do fine - just take it slow and remember its not about the food - really - its about being thankful for what we have. You now have the band and it will help you reach your goals. focus on that and you'll do great!

      It was last week and really all about business, the cloud and stuff like that. It was cool - I had to speak in front of 800 people - never could have done that as a big girl!
