My name is: msjeannettea on MyFitnessPal

I started working out 2 days after surgery.... (treadmill)...i'm in a boot camp-like weight loss fitness program at my gym...i started 5 months pre-op. Go for it!

Understood... i just find that the sports bras you can try on in the stores are not as good quality as the mail order ones.

I purchased an Enell Sports Bra. It's known as THE BEST sports bra around. It gives maximum hold, especially if you are large chested. I got mine from Herroom. com http://www.herroom.com/Search2.aspx?terms=Ene001-100&new=yes

I agree. Have you tried the Snapple Diet Trop a Rocka.. the one from Bret Michaels

Don't fret! Seems like we are in the same boat! I haven't had a good fill until 2 weeks ago... I think i'm at a sweet spot now, but I really didn't feel any type of restriction until a few weeks ago. So my weight loss has been slower than average.

You are doing FANTASTIC....i can honestly say my diet hasn't been the best, but my weight loss is slow and steady.

Vitamin Water Zero and Welch's Diet Black Cherry (only 10 cal per 8oz serving). Either of these you can find at a convenience store.

Congrats! I know it was hard work and dedication.

When were you banded Mattie? From what i've been reading.. it doesn't seem to "kick in" until after 6 months. Right after i get my fill i'm good, but now that i'm coming towards a fill, it seems like i have to watch what i eat more than anything.

I'm gonna tell my doctor that my fills are lasting about 3 weeks tops..i'd like to go 4 weeks without that hungry feeling...

TX Harley i don't think u are doing anything wrong. I was banded on 11/22 and it's coming off slowly for me as well. I'm down 15 since surgery and 22 since pre-op.

I was banded on 11/22 and have lost 15 lbs since surgery and 22lbs since Pre-Op... my weight loss is slow as well, but i'm being very conscious of what I eat.

You are an inspiration... i'm trudging along and the weight loss is slow.. i get my 2nd fill in 2 weeks and I can't wait.. i'm just ready to hit that sweet spot.

I put my name in "Jeannette A" let me know if its there.

I had a gym membership for eons. But i'm making a more conscious effort to get in there at least 3 times a week and 1 day i take my Bollywood Funk dance class.

Seems like you are doing well. I was banded on 11/22 and had my 1st fill last month.

I had my 1st fill last month so i finally feel restriction. I'm down 22lbs since my pre-op diet. Good but not great. Throw in the holidays as a monkey wrench. I want to be down an additional 8 lbs by the end of January, for a total of 30 lbs.

I didn't feel any restriction until my 1st fill. So yes until you get your 1st fill you will have less restriction. Just try to make smart choices in your meals. Once you get your fill it will be much easier.

I thought it was just me. I got my 1st fill today and it seems i'm more starving than anything. I know i'm supposed to have mostly liquids, but i had some Soup earlier (corn chowder w/small potatoes) because i needed something with more substance. Seems like i'm more hungrier post fill vs pre fill? Aint that just like my life!

I got my 1st fill today and they have me at 4cc's in a 10cc band. Right now i'm hungry and i'm eating semi-solids just so my hunger can go away. I think i'm going to be one of those people that need to be 80% restricted so i won't feel hungry.

I like Viactiv...they are little chocolate candies.

That's too strict. I can have Milk and Pasta and Cheese.....

I can't wait for my 1st fill... I'm hungry and it's frustrating.. i want restriction!
