working_to_be_thin

This is weird for me too! I have been able to eat and drink just fine up until 1 week ago. I work out ALOT so I need my fluids. Now it takes me almost a day to drink 20 oz of water and a 17 oz protien shake. I plan to see my dr on Friday if I am not feeling better. I'm fine with it because I am seeing drastic results on the scale. An average of 5lbs per week. I am down to 265 from 385 since 02/01/06. I am glad things are better for you! Congrats! I am so excited for you.

Hi There, I would like to join the Body for Life Challenge. I was banded on 02/01/06 and I have lost 120lbs. My weight at the time of the surgery was 385.I currently work out 1.5 hours each day. Usually 3 or 4 days with weights and cardio everyday. I am excited about the 12 week course!

I used phentermine prior to the lap band surgery and I lost about 25 lbs only to gain 75 when I stopped taking the pills. These pills seemed to cause a chemical inbalance. While I was on the pills I did not feel hungry at all. However, when I stopped taking the pills I could eat up everything in the house. I had the lap band in 02/2006 and I have lost 115 lbs since then. The lap band is a great tool to aid in weightloss.

OH MY! I began experiencing the exact same symptoms approximately 2 weeks ago. I was banded on 02/01/06. Since then I have lost 115 lbs. Here lately I am having trouble eating anything and my reflux is so bad at night until I get up several times a night to throw up. Please let me know what your doctor has recommended.
