  1. Thanks for the advice. Upon giving it some thought I answered my own question probably getting full faster because I'm eating solid protein.
  2. Have recently re-committed to less calories. Under 1000. My band seems to be tighter. Not too tight I just get full faster
  3. I drink about 64 ounces of water or sobe and then another 32 of ice tea Water is hard for some people especially me because I don't really like it.
  4. Drink your Water.
  5. ADD ME SESgirl
  6. I would wait till you are almost till goal. I had my breast reduction 1.5 years after my lap band surgery.
  7. Before surgery and after.
  8. Had been a little relaxed with my drinking and eating. A sip here a sip there. My dietician said 15 minutes before and wait for 45 minutes after. Even with snacks. I'm happy to say it is a success. It really works.

  10. I exercise daily. I have completed p90x , turbo fire and insanity. I'm 2 years out and haven't lost a ton of weight 37 pounds to be exact. I eat well most of the time. So although I agree with your point about exercising. Trust me when I say I'm doing it daily.
  11. I love my fitness pal. If you want to add me for support my user name is SESgirl.
  12. I had my surgery done through kaiser in 2010. The issue you will have is that you only have 1 co morbidity. You need two with a BMI of 40. I have diabetes and I had high blood pressure.y BMI was 35. You can have NAND RnY or the band and I think they are covering sleeve now as well.
  13. I'm happy I found this forum. The support on this board is so positive compared to another I used to be on. Have a great day. I'm off to burn some calories cleaning house.

    I love p90x I never thought I would say that but i do. What I'm struggling with is my eating. Since the workouts are so hard I'm starving all the time. It's bad and I'm craving carbs like crazy. If I try to et mostly protein It doesn't seem like I have enough energy for my workouts. It's such a battle the eating thing. I'm just going to keep doing my best and forgetting the rest.

    I don't even know if I was able to post my last blog. Still haven't lost weight but that's ok. I started p 90x. It's killer. But so far so good. Really going to five my all and kind of forget about the scale for awhile because really it doesn't matter and it drives me absolutely crazy anyway. I never like what it says. I have gained the stupid 5 pounds and lost them over and over and over again. It's disgusting. Oh well so I'm on a mission and really who ares what that stupid scale says anyway If I can get into a size 3 I will be happy. Scales should be outlawed. Ha ha. Anyway that's about all that is going on in my life.

    Does anyone do P90X? I need a few accountability partners.
  20. I started p90x Monday. I actually love it. For now I'm sticking to 1000-1200 a day and we will see how that goes. Let me know how you're doing. I would love to have an accountability buddy through this 90 days.
