Thank you, I love it !!!

Stand still...not losing at all. I need a fill because if I want I can eat more then I should. They said I would not need more then 3 fills. If I eat any type of bread I get stuck and end up throwing up. I stay away from it.

Good Morning, I just joined on facebook... Lose It Forever! I love coming on here and readying so many great bandsters updates... Good luck !! -
Good Morning, I stayed on a liquid diet for 2 days.... my third day I pretty much followed the menu from getting the surgery. I think you should call OCC and speak to one of the doctors on call. Good luck!

Congrats.......I haven't lost anything in months...its been up 5lbs down 5lbs for so long. I have had 3 fills and they said the last time I should not need anymore. I pretty much can eat as much as I want. I still can not eat breads, banana's, grapes or fruit unless I take the skin off. I haven't been on here in a long time either..lol

Walkers / Runners - I need some tips
JaniceBlack replied to 2mara's topic in General Health, Fitness & Well Being
Here's my questions: 1. THE THIGH RUB: GLIDE GLIDE AND MORE GLIDE. I use it every time I go out. I also put it under my bra. 2. RUNNING GEAR FOR BIG GIRLS: I get item from Wal-Mart, Target, Big 5 and REI and they carry bigger sizes. Buy a GOOD bra!!!!! 3. STAYING HYDRATED: Big 5 and REI has shot blocks that we use on long runs and I have a hand water bottle. I also use gum... Good Luck and let me know how you are doing -

I live in Sacramento and was banded at OCC. I go to Lodi almost everyday to run/walk with Lodi Running Group. Let me know if you find out where your friend had their surgery. Do you know if she has had fills in the area too... I have not heard of anyone in this area.

Congrats on your up coming band world. I understand how you feel about telling people about going to Mexico. I have had the same issues when telling family and friends but then I add that this was best for me!!! I have had 3 fills and would not have a fill unless its with a Fluoro. I want to make sure that it is done right and not having to have more then 3 fills. I live in Northern CA and schedule a morning flight and a late evening flight home. OCC is wonderful and would not have changed one minute of my time with them !!!! Good luck and please keep us posted on your trip and your progress!! Remember this is a tool to a new life
