Topic: Speaking of scarey things!
Yikes! Having trouble all week-end keeping down food. Trying now to get down a morning protein shake. A Fill 2 weeks ago is really making the Band work overtime for me. I like losing the weight, but when I have trouble getting, and keeping, morning coffee down, it's a little troubling. Short of having an unfill, any suggestions?! Thanks!
Topic: RE: want to start over
Good to see someone else getting back on track. After an epsisode back in the summer of being too tight and getting an unfill, it was almost like starting over again. After a fill last week, I almost feel too tight but don't want to get on a seesaw of too loose, too tight, unfill, refill. It was actually my 2nd fill since all this "drama" began. Even though I've gotten stuck a couple of times this week, and I'm barely eating enough, it's better than being totally out of control. I trust I'll get the hang of this again and I bet you will too. Drinking while eating is just something I think you have to get used to doing again, like a few other band rules. You'll get it! Congrats on the new little one, by the way. Hope you do well with the fill!

Topic: want to start over
I got lapband 3 years ago. I had my 5th child 7 months ago and my weight is up to 247..I havent had any fluid in my band since last year when I got pregnant. It was so hard for me not to drink with meals..how do you do this? It is also hard for me to decide when the water is actually going through the lapband during an adjustment..it is usually too tight or too loose. Im getting ready to go back to see my dr and I just want to get the right fill and stop drinking with meals.

Topic: RE: How is everyone?
Hello-
I am well and at goal. I too am trying not to allow bad habits to slip back in. I am not exercising enough, but trying to get more.
I still see people who do not recognize me and I still forget that i do not look the same. I still go to the store and occasionally pick up my correct size...usually the old sizes.
I am maintaining good labs...and so far so good.
I wish I had lots of money....I would get my arms and chin done, but oh well. That is life.
I am good and happy!

Hi Leanne.
I don't get on the board like I used to.
Am still in Alabama.....got my own apartment last Saturday. Much closer to work which is WONDERFUL.! Definitely have my own amount of personal drama so I feel your pain on that one.
I have maintained my weight loss very well. I have been very busy with my move and my weight dropped to 130 but am back to 136 now. I usually stay 136-142. Never happier about my size. I am very physically active at work so am not doing any routine exercise at this time. Get in 3-7 miles of walking a day at work and simply feel like that is enough. lol
Thanks for posting. Hope all goes well with you.
