Lapband and Flying
Hi all! This Sunday will be the first time I've flown with my lapband. Is there anything I should be aware of? Any tips? I'm not sure if my band will get tighter or something like that. I'm flying from NYC to Florida if that means anything. Thanks in advance for your help!

Maximum Amount Of CCs In Your Band
Hi! So I was banded back in November and as of right now I have 7.75 ccs (my band holds 14, I think). I still feel like I can keep increasing ccs in the future. I was just wondering what was the max amount of ccs for other people. I feel like I have way too much in mine! My doctor keeps telling me not to worry about it and…

Today Is the Day - 30DS
Hey! So I joined this site last summer and was doing well. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and haven't been on the site since. For some reason today I woke up and decided to weight myself (something I haven't done since July) and I gained 10lbs. It really made me sad so I've decided to use my unopened 30 Day Shred and…

Soda, how I love you so
This past year I gave up soda on March 9th for lent and haven't gone back since. I'm pound of myself since I went from 1 to 2 bottles a day to none. But lately I've been craving a Diet Dr.Pepper. I know soda is one of the worse things to put into your body but if my friends drink one more bottle in front of me I'm going to…

The amount of food I'm eating now is dramatically different from about a week and a half ago. Right now, when I eat the correct portion sizes I feel…

Should I count this as water?
I've been using Mio, liquid water enhancer lately because its the only way I can drink water. If I drink 8 or more glasses of water with Mio, does that count as my regular serving of water each day?
