  1. Hi , bandsters looking for buddies in the wildomar area to talk to , I don't know anybody with lap band and I know I got to be driving my wife crazy sometimes talking about it , so looking for buddies to talk to about what we go trough
  2. I feel you on that one , people say hey skinny , you lost a lot of weight , blah ,blah , but when I am home looking in the mirror , I still see all the fat , the weird part I can't even remember what I look like before the lap band
  3. Walmart sell the shot to , for 2 dollars , right now I am around 150 grams of protein to
  4. How much water are you supposed to be able to drink in an hour
  5. Same thing with me , what I do now is leave the scale in the same spot , I use the tiles on the floor to line it up , as far as the doctor scale it's always 5 to 8 pounds heavier then my scale at home
  6. Your weight might be slower , but are you losing inches , you are working out so there will be some muscle gain and more water intake , so check your inches
  7. I know this might be bad , but I had my second fill last Saturday and went to carls jr right after to get lunch , I never follow what they said yet , so far I am at 5cc and I have a little restriction , everybody different , I read a lot on here where they said it's takes two weeks for a fill to kick in and my doctor is giving me a fill every two weeks , I am supposed to go back on the 9th , but I might cancel it and wait a little bit
  8. Hate to say it , the skinnies are not taking the 2 mile course , that's easy for them , so you will be fine and have fun doing it , quite time
  9. Shoot my doctor is chasing me with the needle , banded Jan 28th down 45 pounds , has my first fill on march 12th got 3cc , had my 2nd today 2 weeks apart , he wanted to give me another 3cc , I ask him if I am losing weight why do I need another 3cc , he just gave me general answer , that's what we do till you get restriction , so I lied and said I have some so I got 2cc today and another appt 2 weeks from now for another fill , I just feel like they are rushing it to much
  10. I am a ups driver and I went back to work after to weeks , the only pain I had was my port was hurting , but that lasted 2 day , I went back on a wed. so I have a short week then 2 days off again , buy that Monday I was good
  11. I am going to say it , you weigh 195 before surgery , the weight you are at will take longer for the pounds to come off
  12. You can't see mine right now , down 40 pounds , but that area is rock hard , I am a ups driver and I have hit it really hard a few times , didn't feel that good
  13. Oh man I want some chunky chocolate chip cookies , so bad right now , I have been doing low carb since my pre op Jan 15th , lost 41 pounds so far , but my kids where like I miss cookies and bam , I WANT COOKIE , am fighting so hard right now , the only thing I have going for me is I drunk a little , so I wont drive and my wife doesnt feel like driving , so hopefully I will be ok
  14. I got my first fill on Saturday 3cc and they want me to come back in two weeks for a second fill of 3cc , I don't know if I want to go back yet , dang 2 weeks , I at least thought I would have a month in between
  15. I wear a lot of under armor shirts and I feel that way , when I have them on and I eat I feel full longer , really like stuffed , until I take it off
  16. Just got my first fill today , go back in two weeks for another
  17. I am with you , I like fries before the band had my first one since Jan , it didn't taste as good as I remember , also lost sodas , cookies and a few others , I try different things so I don't crave but after a bite , I am like that's wasn't so good and the craving goes bye bye
  18. Hi y'all , I was banded on Jan 28 , so far down 39 pounds , started at 263 and now 224 , my first fill is this weekend and I am so nervous , I don't watch my Calories , I decide I will keep at the low carb thing and watch the amount I eat , no exercise routine yet , I figure my job is enough of a workout for me now , it good to hear where all the Jan people are at in this life changing thing , so let's keep are heads up , mouth close and weight off
  19. I still keep to the liquid diet some what , B: I have a shake , snack I eat a cheese stick , L: shake again , snack cheese stick again D: whatever the family eats , I just get creative with making it low carb

  23. I was banded on Jan 28th , so far I have lost 35 pounds , I still keep to the liquid diet some what ,for breakfast I have a shake , snack I eat a cheese stick , lunch shake again , snack cheese stick again and dinner I eat a low carb meal , I have not started working out yet , figure since I have a very physical job that would be my workout
