I am 30 lbs approx from goal. I am eating around 1100-1200 cals I have 2 shakes a day to hit my Protein Love Oh Yeah Protein Bars Try and eat egg, cheese & meat daily 1/2 c chicken Cheese Beef Jerky Lots of spinach Veggie protein balls or bites Exercise: Pilates reformer classes 2x /week Cardio 4-5 days / week on my eliptical Walking whenever i can Strength training 2-3 days per a week for 15 mins Soon it will be golf & season!

It is a personal choice. I do next nothing in carbs and high protein. You might want to try "south beach diet" i know lots of people who do WW. I get to stuck on carbs as i have a tight band. It may just to log your cals as you want to focus on protein amounts & cals. Good luck!

Everything from ACDC to top 40 dance! Love disco & anything 80's.

The premier shakes are my favorite! I drink the lean body ones when i am on the go. Glad you all are doing well! Have a fabulous day!

My head hunger start around 4pm daily and goes on until I go to bed!

Yes, I am a scale addict! I weigh in the morning as soon as I get up. weighing at night what is the point? I keep thinking if I buy a better scale it will treat me better . Good luck all! Cheers, Kristi

My dr let me scrub them off at the 2 wk mark. I ended letting them come of naturally. Theyjust started to lift.

Seeing my speacialist on Tue also i am going to pick up an oximeitry test today. Doesnt hurt to do another.

I would maybe up your protein as your snacks don't have much protein. I tend to eat 60-90g's of protein a day. I am on a high protein diet and work out 4-5 days/week for 40 mins 3 x wk & 1.5 2x/wk. Better to have a slow and steady loss. Don't get frustrated keep on going, keep up the great work! K

Lucky I am so tight I can't eat bread, fries or too many chips. I can eat choclate and do for a treat but I never eat anything over 200 cals. Snacks are usually 80 cals. I have found new loves and cravings. I am far perfect but want to reach goal. I am self pay so I have to protect my investment. I track my calories when I reach a plateau. I also exercise 4-5 days/wk. Also I regularly go back to the basics and read the material from the clinic about food choices, menus & suggestions. I lost most of my weight eating 1400-1600 cals. now I am 1000-1200 cals because I have plateaued. Good luck! Tomorrow is a new day!

Salad is also concidered a slider food. Eat protein first so you feel full.

Cazzy - I too have asthma & allergies. I was a swimmer for years and my doctor says it makes no difference. I thought too my asthma etc... Swimming and exercise helps my asthma though . K

You have done well. Don't beat yourself up! Go back to the basics. Alot of members have pointed great points. How many calories are you eating a day? Are you getting at least 60g+ of Protein in a day? I have hot many plateau's in this journey. What works for me is to mix it up food wise and in my exercise routine. This sometimes makes a difference. I keep a food journal and mix up my workout daily. I also keep in close contact with my nutrionist & nurse so that I can stay in the green zone - on average I have lost 1.5 lbs/week. Good luck with your continued success! Cheers, Kristi

I feel you pain! I found out that my apena will never go away as i had braces and teeth pulled as a kid to change my bite. I hated the cpap machine. Got down to 8x an hour that allowed me to get a mouth guard at $2800. Much better but keeps me up. Dammed if i can sleep with the mouth guard! Keeps me up, makes me anxious & wakes me up. Meeting with my specialist to request another sleep test. I am 15 lbs from goal weight and my sleep apena is the last of my demons that i want to get undercontrol. I find i am just as tired with or without the mouthguard. I think maybe a bit more rested sleeping with nothing. Sleepless in Vancouver.

Costco also has chewable gummies for adults

Iced drinks like margaritas I get stuck on and are no for me.

Update I went to Vitamin World today. I bought more Biotin and it was 5000 it is time released. So what your body doesnt need you just will pee it out.

I take Pantoprazole 40mg tablet first thing when I get up for my acid flux. When i have had really bad acid reflux i have taken another one at night. I have only done this 4x in 6 years. Hope your feeling better!

Dr gave me .2cc for a total of 6.7cc's and now i am super tight but in the green zone. Down 1 lb since my fill on wednesday. So very happy! Thx

I have had that same issue and it is my acid relux/heartburn. I take medication for my acid reflux. I can't eat to close to going to bed or I have problems as well as when I am swollen I have had issues too. I had this last week and my nurse recommended that I go on liquids and mushies for 2 days. This corrected the problem. I also had a fill on Wed of .2 cc's and am really tight. The first night was rough but again after 2 days of liquids and mushies I am good to go and in the green zone. One happy bander now! Good luck!

I take a 1000mg which is the recommended daily amount. 7500 I would check with your doctor or nurse. Good luck!

A lot of good posts. I drink less as I want to keep losing weight. I save it for night out with my hubby or friends. But not only I am a light weight I find that I get wicked heartburn. I can't drink red wine anymore unless I eat an 30-45 mins before. I tend to drink martini's - dangerous. I like them as I can make them low in sugar. I find when on vacation and I drink daily it tightens my band up so much I can't eat. And if I drink I need to eat and can eat to close to bed which creates brutal acid reflux. Becarefull and do not drive after having a drink. Be safe all!

I am a scale adict. But I am 15 lbs away to a normal BMI. Currently my BMI is 27.6. I have lost 100 lbs over the last year since being banded. I want to reach goal so bad. Therefore I weigh myself daily as soon as I get up naked. I eat about 1000-1400 cals/day. I also workout 4-6days/week. Good luck all .

My band has a mind of its own. Sometimes it will tighten and I challenges with food that I always eat. Sometimes I chew better or not or eat too fast. Good luck! K

Hi all, Feeling like I may have made a mistake today by getting a fill. I only got .2 but now I am at 6.7 cc's. Crap the heartburn is brutal! I have only been sipping but not getting far. I am hoping after 2 days that it will calm down. Hot choclate has worked the best today I am managing to finish it. Gurgling & burbing . Tried Jello OK but no calories. I will try my shake again in a bit. Better to sip and get some. Dying to get these last 30 lbs done! Good luck all! K
