    Gaining weight

    Same boat! I had surgery in 2011 and lost 105 but up 30. I know what needs to be done, not sure why I let myself struggle so much. My real struggle is sweets and night time eating. I can do good all day, still measure my meals and I'm good there. So today, I am starting again!
  2. Been way too long checking in on here! 3 years 3 months post opt and down 90. I was at a 100 pound loss for a long time and trying to get it off again. I had brachioplasty 7 weeks ago and super excited woith the results.

      GREAT JOB! was it something you had to pay on your own, or did insurance cover it?

    Autism and my band...

    Don't beat yourself up! Everyone has their good days, their bad days. 2 years out and I still have them and it still gets frustrating for me. You do have a tough job! I subbed for a couple of years in the autism program in our district and if I did 3 days in a row, I was BEAT!!!!!! Hang in there!

    In the name of Captain Kirk

    I don't think I was told to only have 4 ounces at a time. I mixed up my shake and had the whole thing, though I think it did take about an hour to get down since I would freeze them.

    almonds

    I actually just started buying the Blue Diamond honey roasted almonds and love them! Sometimes I just need a few. 40 calories isn't too bad for 7. I usually bag them up in servings of 14 nuts.

    New here!

    Welcome aboard!! You will find some great info and some great people here. You wont hear any horror stories from me, I love my band! I started out at 235 and my goal at the time was 75 pounds which seemed like a huge amount to tackle. I didn't even think I could get lower than that. But I did. I hit my first goal of 175, then 160, then 140 and then I said 135 and now I would love to see 129. If I can keep myself under 135 I will be a happy camper. If I can do it, you can do it too! Good luck!

    Time Between Bites?

    I have gotten so used to cold food too now that it doesn't bother me. For the most part, I eat breakfast and lunch alone so I can take how ever long I want. Before surgery I would polish off my dinner plate in less than 10 minutes and my hubby would still bet there for another half hour. Even now sometimes he is still eating after I finish and it may take me 30-45 minutes. I guess that is why I had the weight problem and he is skinny!

    Time Between Bites?

    In the beginning I would take a bite and look at the clock on either the cable box, computer or car radio and wait for a minute to pass. But 2 years out, I don't really even think about it any more to be honest with you. It just kind of becomes second nature, unless I am raving hungry, eat too fast and end up getting stuck!! Luckily that doesn't happen to often!

    Lap Band vs. the Sleeve

    keeping track of how much I eat is the key to my success, and exercising too. But If I had to pick the #1 thing it would be tracking my intake. I weigh and measure everything and pretty much keep to my portions for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Weight Gain

    I go up and down 3 pounds all the time. One thing I would suggest is to skip the OJ unless your dr said that you need it. One 8 ounce cup is around 110 calories. Drinking a few of those every day can add up quickly on the calories.

    8 pounds to hit goal

    Congrats! I tried to make an appt for 1-800- get thin but they wouldn't accept me because I was a cash patient and said they only took insurance patients.
