Gracious

Congratulations!!!!!

Hey Larry Gracious here checking in at 176....... Thanks again for your hard work

I have lost about 60 pounds post op... it took me almost 5 months. Its all about the individual, and how much your working out and sticking to the diet ( which is not easy but worth it)))) I still have another 30 to go!!!

Hey guys I was banded on 12/29/2011 by Dr. Shiroka at the Brigham!!!!

Good morning my fellow bandsters!!!! Im checking in at 181.8 this morning!!!!!

Hey Im 5"4 my first goal is 150 but would love my final weight to be 145!!!!

Hey Larry Im checking in with my final results at 185........ Thanks again

I think everyone has to go according to their own body!!!!

Hey Im checking at 188.8.... Slow but steady.. Hope to have a great week!!!!

I agree.. I must admit at time I drink like 10 mins later!!!! That doesnt really affect me in any way!!!!! So I dont worry too much about it... I do understand that everyone is different though!!!

You are so far from being a failure.... I agree with all the other posrs, just start over and track calories!!! You can do it... You owill be at goal weight in no time!!!!

I also get shoulder pain either when Ive havent eaten or when I eat something gassy!!!!!

We are here for you!!! Great thing about the band is that you can pick yourself up and start over. Jusr get back to the basic rules and you will be where you want to be. we all make mistakes and there is no need to beat yourself up over it. when u need motivation just log on. if u need to vent just log on..... I would suggest logging on everyday if u can,,, It helps to keep yourself on track while socializing with other bandsters!!!!!! Also I would suggest joining my fitness pal ro help keep track of your food intake!!!!!

HEy with 2Cc there is def not going to be much restriction, it takes a couple of fills for to start feeling restriction, i got my thrid fill yesterday and today i must admit im starting to feel fuller longer. Dont worry just work on changing your mind set when it come to food! If your still hungry just eat the low calorie snacks like the sugar free popsicles and jello, drink your vitamin water zero or crystal light, make a meat crusted pizza....... look for ways to get more protein in so u could feel fuller longer until ur able to get more fills

I'm down to 192..4/8/12.....

You can add too topcat1986!!!

Wow you are doing great Im three months post op on Friday and Im down 40 pounds..... hopefully i can lose 20 in two weeks to keep up with you... lol Im just kidding..... but good job!!!!!

I had broccoli and beef yesterday at my job!!!! not the entire serving though just a third of it and i had no problem just chew very well

I excercise 4-5 days a week for about an hour and 1 1/2. I aim ro burn from 700 too 900 a day!!! i eat five times small meals totaling between 950-1100 calories, some days I could only get in 900 but i feel satisfied and I do have carbs like the sandwhich thins or crackers. No rice no Pasta.I drink alot of Vitamin vater zero and If snackish I have a banana or a cheese stick. imrarely ever hungry and I have only had two fills! Hope this answers your question! due for my next week in a week cant wait!!!!

I had gained 5 pounds also after surgery! Its very common... @dropping_weight I had to wait 6 weeks until my first fill.... Im 12 weeks out and i have only had two fills due for another next week.....I had lost most of my 38 pounds in the first 7-8 weeks and now I have been losing like 2 to 3 pounds a week... The band requires alot of patience and hard work...... Im still waiting to get to that green zone.. but im okay with the results this far
