Awesome weight loss! Congrats... Please share what your daily meals were?

What are you eating daily? Share some of your tips. That's awesome weight loss, have u had a fill yet?

I'll try that next time... Just doesn't seem like you could ever get enough water in this heat. I'm in south Florida!

Nope never had hbp. I think it was the heat and not properly hydrated. Went swimming today with the kids- couldn't get much exercise cause they followed me all over the pool! I'm sure I probably burned a little bit of calories.

I'm doing great! No fill yet I'm down 17 lbs...changed my diet to low carbs and the weight is starting to drop off. My dr. Says to eat no more than 30g. I'm barely eating a cup of food. I find that I'm full after a meal for a long time. I'm not complaining though! Had homemade chilli for dinner -- it was yummy! Have a great night and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Received! Thanks you never know who might need to read you message....

We got a above ground pool and had them dig a hole so the pool could go under 2 feet. Well they didn't put the sand back because my hubby says he was going to do it. Soo I thought to be helpful I would go and start refilling the space a long the side of the pool! Why did I do that ..... I started seeing stars- felt like I was going to faint after 30 min in the sun doing it and my arms feel like jello! Talk about being out of shape!!!! Wonder how many calories I burned?

Good Luck on your journey to surgery! I was banded with plication May 18. Im glad I did it .

I went to mine last week- no fill. I really don't think I need one cause I'm full after eating and I don't get hungry again when I eat my protein. I just eat again. I space meals out every 4-6 hours. I just need a easy convenient meal plan!

Yeah I can feel mine when I bend. It's like i have to readjust myself and bend a different way. Feels ackward !

Welcome Mrs CMK & lassie! Congrats on the weight loss :-)

That gas is the worse! It will eventually go away. Just continue to do what you are doing! So many have expressed other ways to get rid of it and I can say I did it all so can't really tell u what works!

Congrats on your loss! I'm sure a newbie would be grateful for this post. I too was banded with plication and I wish I would've done it sooner. Stay positive and focused- looking forward to hear your journey.

You are doing great! Better to lose slow than not at all. Besides it gives your body time to keep up with your progress. Most of the time when people lose too fast it comes back fast because of poor eating habits. I'm taking this time to learn and live my new healthy lifestyle. I'm glad you are doing well keep it up!

I think I read a while back that drinking cold water helps you burn calories. Had something to do with thermogenics and your body working to keep body temperature normal and working to warm up after drinking the cold water.

My Dr. Says not to eat until you are close to your goal weight. He says to stay at 30g of carbs - eat fruit to get that amount of carbs.

Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring..

Good job and awesome results! What did you eat to stay under 900 calories? Can you please share.....

I've lost 12 lbs since surgery, I wouldn't worry to much because a loss is better than a gain and besides if you notice some of the reported loss includes the pre op loss. We are doing good just stay positive you can't compare your loss to anyone else. Lots of factors to consider like how much was the start weight.

I was banded 5/18/12 and I have lost 12 lbs since surgery.

Yayyyy! Congrats to u, I'm excited for you. Well done now try to put all those hard times and things you've been through and focus on you. It's your time to shine and win this battle! I'm cheering u on! You can do it.. Hell u already did it !

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing your tips. You are doing great and your mind will eventually catch up and before you know it u will be at your goal.

Just checking in to see how everyone is healing... I'm doing ok, I have not weighed myself.. Kinda scared might have gained since I'm eating. Still keeping calories under 1000, but I'm thinking the carbs maybe my problem. The plication definitely keeps me from overeating. It works! My last dr. Appt I was down 12 lbs that was may 31. Anyway how is everyone else doing?
