Round 3 PT a BUST!!!!

I am with you girl!!! Day one went great. Day two we went to town. I was good all morning. Soy milk carrot juice and isopure. MMMMM until I ran out!!!   by 3 I was starving. so I took my kids out to Mongolian BBQ which is one of those places where we can load up a bowl with meat veggies noodles and sauces and they cook it on a round grill right in front of us. So I figured if I was going to break the PT I was going to do it with just meat and veggies (no noodles) which really are my favorite.

Recovering Slowly

I already can feel the difference after the PT has started. This morning I drank 16 oz right down before feeling full. by 3pm this afternoon I had the same satisfied feeling after an 8oz cup. So I know I had stretched it out grazing all weekend. I am glad I am doing the 5 day pt to get back on the ball.   here is the total nutrition facts at the end of today. I drank ALOT of soymilk (yes with a little creamer) Isopure, and a small dinner splurge(3 bites of tune Noodle cassaroll)   the calori

4th of July Holiday- Recovery Needed

Just thru the day of visiting and snacking when d

#1 Metabolism boost- FOOD

My 2 cents is in blue so no one get confused.   So why do we hit those nasty plateau's???   That's one reason it's almost always easiest to lose weight at the start of a diet, and harder later on, Kimball says: "When you are very overweight your metabolism is already running so high that any small cut in calories will result in an immediate loss." Then, when you lose significant amounts of body fat and muscle, your body needs fewer calories to sustain itself, she says. That helps explain wh

#1 Step to Boost Metabolism

YEA now the types of calories...     Eat protien as much as possible.

Lapband Portion & Metabolism

Ok everyone, Lapband takes care of the intake of calories just why does our bodies greedily hold on to every calorie that enters our mouths???? METABOLISM!!!!!! I am on a bit of a rant here but I for one am sick of this sluggish metabolism that is insistant to "Survive" thru this "STARVATION period" it seems to think it is in. I am going to make it my personal goal to find a way to get in enought of the right kind of calories and the right activities to beat this Ol' body at its own game!   F

5 weeks post op, flipped port fixed, first fill

5 weeks post op and I had to have a second surgery because the port had turned to the point where it was impossible to get to to fill. So far I have paid $100 in transportation for 2 trips to the Surgeon, $415 surgeon fees and I finally have my first fill of 1.5 cc. I didnt realize the lapband was going to be so expensive to maintain but thru it all I still feel it is totally worth it!   I have lost 16lbs in 5 weeks. Eventhough I have little restriction I am loosing weight because I decided t

FIRST FILL! HELP Options

I found a Surgeon who will Adjust my lapband eventhou my surgery was done in Mexico. I have been wondering about going back to Tj for fills because my Surgeon Dr. Kelly is a wonderful DR. It is just hard to find someone to watch my 3 kids to go. And the person I found is only 1.5 hours away and I can take them with me. (I will just make a field trip out of the day) THe fill dr here charges 150 for the fill and 350 if he needs to use the flouro. $500 ouch! But what are my options?! I hope he wo

YUCK, BUT the skin on all but one insision has completly healed over and the only bump it the line of scar tissue under each line. and of course I can feel the port under the one.   My week 2 isnt quite here yet that is tuesday so I dont know how much i will have lost by then.   I did get a sneak peek and so far I have lost 4lbs this week which is a total of 12 lbs since my lapband's b-day

one week post-op lapband- scale stopped already

I am now 1 week out and have lost 8 lbs. But I just cant take the mushie and liquids. I need real food. So my portion size is small, and I feel full very quickly. but of course the scale stopped moving and I am hungery every 2 hours or so. Is this a good indicater it is time for a fill. I weight 232lbs from 240lbs, goal weight 150 lbs.   I am new and I am hoping for quick weight loss. But I can see it wont be easy. Any advise?
