I re-entered my weight loss last week as my name had disappeared. I have just looked at the spread sheet and there are hardly any names on it and my name is missing again. I was really enjoying the xmas challenge and was grateful to Amanda for creating it. I am disappointed the spreadsheet has been messed up like this again. I can see no reason for anyone to change the spreadsheet, we only had to enter weight loss in the row with our name. sorry to vent

I just felt excited too....and I haven't been disapponted....so glad I had the op. Good luck....let us know how u get on

thanks for deleting your extra record...I was able to add my details to one of the empty lines.

The spreadsheet looks a lot better now.I tried to add my name at the bottom but its not automatically recording the loss etc. I don't know if any one else has lost their record but I will add mine when I can as I would like to complete the challenge and its good to see it on the spreadsheet, even tho my loss is not good at the moment. Maybe those with 2 or 3 entries... usually showing different results now lol....could delete the incorrect ones

hi could you post a link to the spreadsheet that works please

help....I have disappeared from the spread sheet.....some names are there several times....anyone have the ability to restore it?

Hi I had my fill on Dec 3rd and I felt restriction and could only eat a small amount... less than 2oz but that has worn off and I feel the same as before. My weight loss is really really slow at the moment. I didnt feel a thing when my doctor did the fill. I go back on Dec 31st for my second fill

I was banded 15/10/10 and got my first fill on 3rd Dec. I have lost about 15lb post op and about 32 in all. After my first fill I was tight and could only eat about half as much per meal but that has settled now and I feel little restriction. The band has really helped me with portion size and physical hunger....still have to fight head hunger tho. I have arthritis too especially in my knees and the weight loss has really helped so hope u will feel the benefits as ur weight goes down. I think the next fill will really help, from what I have read in these forums this period between banding and fills can be very difficult. Are you eating enough, my doc advises 3 small meals and 2 snacks, out of curiosity where were u banded?

If you were violently sick that might have caused swelling and caused more foods to get stuck resulting in more vomiting....a vicious circle. Hopefully being on liquids will calm everything down until you can see your doctor.

Leah...congrats on your weight loss... you are doing so well. Please could you post what a typical days eating is for you. I would really appreciate it. How much exercise are you doing at the moment? Eating ideas would also be welcome from all bandsters. Good luck to everyone in the xmas challenge...... people are doing brilliantly.

Thanks Elphie , thats very helpful. I know this band can work for me as I have to restrict my portion sizes....no more second helpings just because I like the taste. Also I don't feel particularly hungry so as long as I make healthy food choices I am very optomistic

thanks it looks good, I shall give it a try

thanks for responding...that sounds encouraging. its always good to hear from people who are going through the process.

I have more energy and am ready to start each new day. I now have lots of clothes that fit....or are too big yay!!!!! so choosing what to wear is so much easier

Brilliant...well done. My current aim is onederland lol....got 12lb to go

Great food ideas...can u tell me what a garden burger is pls?
