checking in at 338...didnt make my goal...but theres always next time.

I'd love to do a June challenge. I just got a fill on wednesday and I have really good restriction for the first time! Woo woo!!!

thanks for the genuine answer.

currently i have 3 cc in a 9 cc band, no restriction. how do YOU know when you're full? im also afraid im gona stretch the pouch because i am able to eat a pretty large amount. i dont eat til its painful or anything. whats your opinion?

checking in at 338.8

I tried eating a 6 inch subway club w just meat and cheese on it... I took 2 bites of the bread, got stuck, decided it wasnt for me! So I just ate the meat lol.

Yea, I believe I have the lite string cheese... 80 cal, 2.5 g of fat, 8 g of protein, and less than 1 g of carbs (I think)!

80 g of fat??? the ones i have are only 2.5 g of fat lol

weight this week is 338.8 lbs

oh my gosh.. im on mine right now and ive been craving everything!!! AHHH!!

hi all... (554 am!!) weighing in at 341 ... woo hoo! need to work on the days and amount of time i exercise... hope you all are doing well!

i drank chocolate protein shakes mixed w water and frozen strawberries (about 3-4 strawberries), 4 x a day and 1 meal pre-op. lost about 25 lbs in 18 days (started diet early)

Had my 1st fill yesterday. I'm not sure the exact amount but I know it was a bit more than 3 cc. I feel NO restriction. Is this normal? Also, How have you all worked past the "head hunger"?

Hi all! I was banded 3/29/11. Can't wait for my first fill! Not sure how much I've lost since then. I feel like I'm struggling with this "head hunger" stuff even though I don't feel hungry myself.

Was wondering if anyone else here just puts food in their mouth just to chew it up but doesn't swallow it?

My doc didn't give any specific amount of weight to lose. I just hope that whatever is happening in my body is a good thing.

4 Protein shakes / day (they recommended Bariatric Advantage... i use a kind i got from walmart and another kind i got from a nutrition store) and i make them with Water instead of milk 1 high protein low carb meal (i've been eating either green Beans & baked chicken, or baked steak) they had a list of foods that were available that i could eat but i didnt like any of the other stuff lol. oh and i can have sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, cucumbers, and celery (as free foods) also, i've been trying to keep my carb count below 30g / day lol

I was on a 2ish week pre-op diet from Feb 11 until feb 28, lost 23 lbs. I was denied by my insurance so the following week I went back to eating my old ways. Then, I was approved (lol) so I went back to my pre-op diet. I had gained about 10 lbs back. So now, I've been on the pre-op diet from Mar 15 until today (continuing until my surgery Tuesday 3/29 !!!) and I am back down those 10 lbs but I haven't been losing anymore weight. I haven't gained anymore but I haven't lost any either. Is this common?
