I started out at 262 lbs in oct. 2006. I now weigh 205 lbs. How much more do I need to loose before I can get this stomach apron removed?

:skep::skep: :thumbup: haven't been to my doctor in 1 year. just went and told him my prob. he put more in my band and sent me to a nutrition. I hope this time it works.

Do more research quick and find another place.

Hi beth, I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear . I ordered hot decaf tea and made it while I was eating, then asked for a to go cup filled with ice and made my own iced tea to go and drink it later. Thats something I always do because no one has decaf iced tea. I do ask for water because if I need a tiny sip, enough to keep my throat wet or sometimes food get stuck in my throat. I can feel the food in my pouch and it stays there for a while before it go through. I can feel it. Thanks for caring Alyssa

today my friend called me and we walked the middle school track it felt good, then we got breakfast. I had decaf. hot tea and ice water, 1 egg beaters and 1 piece of bacon. the tea i drank later, i got a togo cup with ice to make iced tea. Dinner tonight will be grilled turkey meat no bun, grilled veggies like mushrooms, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, asparagus, eggplant. sounds like a lot but i have a few people to feed. trust me i'll probably get down some meat, and whatever veggie i can get soft enough, and then i'll be full. Thanks for talking to me it helps to talk to someone who is banded. my friends just don't understand. Keep up the good eating habits and maybe you and i will see a difference soon.

fast foods I have a problem with it won't go down. if i have a burger, it is w/out the roll. and i can't even think about fries. but by the time i eat the burger I'm full. bread of any kind NO WAY! but if i toast rye bread and make it hard i can get a few bits before it gets stuck. not worth it. once something gets stuck and the sliming starts i can't eat for 1 hr. breakfast usually is crangrape juice w/benefiber in it and my 8 pills, then I'm full thats around 7:00 am. at 1:00 p.m. i may have tomatoe soup or cottage cheese or yogurt. if I'm home for dinner it would be some kind of protein ad some kind of canned veg. if I'm out i omit the veg. because i can't get it cooked soft enough to get it down. sometimes i will eat salad if it goes or i ask for cucumbers and vinegar. i think my biggest thing is that i don' exercise. but that is going to end soon.

no not exercising but I am starting. going to join a gym. what kinds of food were you eating? I thought I was making the right choices. I think I was doing what my dr. said to do. staying away from foods that get stuck eat first protein then veg.

I have just found some ideas and thoughts on alli. I've changed my mind not for me.

has anyone tried or thinking about Alli to boost start their weight loss?:thumbdown:

yes I do eat slowly and chew if I dont I'm in trouble. when i don't eat I'm not hungry. i drink water a lot, protein shakes make me not go to the bathroom (if you know what i mean) I use a lot of benafiber. I try to eat turkey, chicken, tuna, egg...when I can get it down

I do think its a good idea. when I was on ww I kept a journal for about 4 years. then too I only lost 50 lbs. I guess it is tim to start a new one

how do you get the rulers to show your progress?

Thank you for thinking of me. Good luck to you too
