Well I don't know where to start again.  Gained 7lbs. meds were changed, couldn't stop eating. Eat and eat and eat!  2 weeks ago I woke up and was throwing up, it was 3am and threw up for hours. Went to hospital, was dehydrated, gave me fluids and was going to send me home but my lap band dr. had other ideas. Admitted me to the hospital where I spent 4 days while they ran tests and upper gi and scoped me. They found I had gastrities and did a biopsy. Dr. took all my fluid out and now I feel like I am starting over. UGH this is thursday (thanksgiving) and of course I have ate and ate today. Going to get a fill on monday, will see how things go.

Well it's been 2 yrs. and the weight is coming off slowly. I hade the surgery for health reasons. I started at 200 lbs. preop so I didn't have a lot to use. Dr. said I shouldn't get down any lower than 140lbs. I want to get to 130 but don't know if I can. Stuck on 150 and can't seem to get off that. Small boned but would like to get smaller.

Well I haven't been on here for a long time, but kind of expected a lot more results than I have gotten. I have went from 192 to 175 and it's been over a year. 12 weeks ago he took out 2 cc because i was throwing up a lot. Since then he has added 1/2 cc. I can still eat quite a bit of food. Gained 2 lbs. back, doesn't sound like much but it took me a long time to loose it. Well hope things will get better.

Went back to Dr. R and I have lost 3 whole pounds. I didn't think it was very good for 5 weeks. I talked him into giving me a fill, he wasn't going to. He said he would put in 1 cc. Oh well, better than nothing. Have to go back in 6 weeks. I will see how it goes.

I am doing everything i'm supposed to and eating what i'm supposed to and still not loosing any weight. I'm really discouraged with all this.  I don't know what to do, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I have started walking every day and have lost 2 lbs. since Monday, must be the liquid diet. On soft foods now. Nothing else new yet so will keep you up to date.

Today I had my first fill. I also gained 2 lbs. After the fill he gave me a little cup of water to drink and it took me 20 minutes to drink half of it. Then it came back up.  Dr. R then came back in and had to remove some of it and told me to come back in a month. I have to do better with my eating, he wants me to have only 1000-1200 calories a day. Liquid for 3 days and soft foods for 3 more days then back to regular foods. I should see some more weight loss now. Oh I almost forgot the most important part = exercise. He said I wont loose much more than another 20 lbs. if I don't start exercising now! So i'm going to suck up the pain and exercise.

It is Friday night and I am waiting for Monday to arrive so I can go back to the Dr. and hopefully I will get a fill. It will be 10 weeks since my surgery and I still haven't lost anymore weight. Maybe i'm just impatient and want the weight to go away faster, I don't know. I will update more after the visit  with my Dr. Later.

I haven't updated in a while but there isn't much new. I haven't lost anymore weight. Went to see the nutrishinist and am doing what i'm supposed to do. Started walking on my treadmill but my back has been out for the last week, starting back today. Go back to dr. in 2 weeks and I guess I will get a fill then. We will see what happens then.

Went back to my family Dr. to check my sugar and there was none in my urine, blood looked great and my blood pressure was good too!  Yahooo! The only problem was that I was dehydrated, been trying to drink more water lately but can't seem to get enough. My skin is so dry and I keep lotion on it all the time. Well i'm going to lay down, I have been up all day with no nap so i'm tired. I guess I really shouldn't need a nap but I do.
