Ami Faught Crittenden

I also was on mine when i had my surgery!! just tell them!! Ami

I am in the same boat you are.. I feel like i have to eat everything (( what did your nutrionist say?? I got tomorrow for another fill i think i have 6cc right now? not to sure though..

I had surgery on Dec 23rd, i never started on any Vitamins but i feel like i should have. So i want to start. I went to walmart and got a Multivitamin, bioten (sp), Fiber, and a Vitamin b complex. Is there anything else that i should be taking. I seen some people taking papya enzymes. So i wanted to check to see what other people are taking.. Ami

great job!!!

yes all of them LOL... Somtimes i find myself getting back into old habits ( I did not think about the whole fruit/carb thing i eat a big bowl of fruit for lunch... I really need to eat more protein i HATE cooking though!!! No i am scared to death to drink cabonated drinks LOL I cannot wait to be full on a little bit of food!! hopefully soon )

i just tried to add you and it said i was already your friend ) LOL

Thank you so much.. i also weighed 252 when i started and i cannot seem to get under 200 lbs i did make it to 198 but gained 6 lbs after running a 5k and am stuck at 202 right now I also am not sure what is in my band bc the last time i went in i thought i had 4 but when he pulled everything out including the 1cc he was going to put in there was only 4cc in the needle ( so somtimes i wonder if my band is leaking:( i sure hope not!!! i guess we will see what this new doc says and i also really need to start using my fitness pal again!!! Thank you again!! Ami

ok ladies and gents, i have lost 50 lbs since surgery which was dec 23rd.. But i have been stuck at that 50lbs since about the middle of April! I eat right, i stay around 1000-1200 calories and i work out every day!! I would LOVE to lose about 50 more but it just doesnt seem to be nudging! Does anyone have any suggestions. Oh and i think i have about 4-5 cc's in my 10cc band. When your in the green zone does it seem to fall off again?? I start going to a new doc on the 4th but im afraid he wont fill me since its my "new doc" appt (( Ami

Here is my picture. Everyone is doing great.

Pampered chef also makes a really yummy recipe

plus you are only a month and half out.. havent had a first fill yet. I am about to go for my 3rd fill and im still not in the green zone.. I try and stay around 1000 and i exersize 3-4 times a week burning approx 400-600 each time. it takes burning 3500 calories to lose 1 lb!!!!!! you will get there. I had my surgery 12/23 and have lost 45 i have hit about 3 plateus (sp) so far!!! keep your head up ) Ami

i hurt about that long also. i remember calling a friend asking her if it was normal and she said yes. she also explained to me to think about how much they had to cut through and it was a pretty big opening and they proably had to shove that port through that hold and stitch it back up LOL... so then i understood hahaha!!! it will get better.. mine hurts now every once in a while if i bump it etc!!! Ami

How is everyone doing. I was banded 12/23 and I'm down 45 lbs ))

I was banded 12/23 i have had 2 fills. I think i have about 3.5cc in a 10cc band. My question is i am NOT starving between meals but i eat more then i should. For example yesterday we went to chilis and i got a margarita chicken i can eat the whole thing without feeling overly full. I go for another fill this wednesday (oh and i have lost almost 15 lbs since my last fill which was 6 weeks ago) so back to my question how much should i be eating to feel FULL i thought it was 1/2 cup??? Ami

phew im glad im not the only one i was getting very worried!!!!

I heard he is really good! I used dr fischer at christ.. he also was really good ) Ami

great job!!!

I hope so... thanks gals!!! Ami

Why is it that i can eat a 6 inch flat bread sub from subway and it doesnt get stuck or hurt going down, but when i eat a small chili from wendys it hurts on the left side??? Ami

you can add me on myfittnesspal. ckmom002

aweomse!!!!!! I cannot wait untill im in onederland my surgery was 1 month after yours (dec 23rd) I am at 42 lbs right now and its creeping up on me )) im so excited.... congrats again ) Ami

well i was trying to find some ac/dc on itunes but i cannot find it i like dance music really anything to get me moving LOL... Footloose is my power song LOL Ami

I need some new songs!!! ))

my doctor told me 1200 but i dont lose any weight at 1200 calories so i have been doing between 800 and 1000 plus i walk 35 mins a day. I find that i lose weight there, but everyone is diffrent so you just have to find your sweet spot!!! Ami
