Thanks!! I'm a dairy freak!!! I don't know if I can live without my cheese!!

Anyone still doing Atkins or southbeach???

K, I've been at a plateau for 3 weeks now! I need to see some menus of people that have been really successful. Any of you of there on myfitnesspal and log in daily??

Hey ladies, there is now a liquid version of metformin call riomet! I use it now caz I can't swallow those giant pills either

Ok, here's the deal. I'm 7weeks post op and down 23lbs. I've hot a plateau so it's time to start exercising. I know cardio is a MUST, but what about weight training? Im scared I'm gonna gain weight! Are there any banders out there that weight train and have lost a significant amount of weight??

Thanks ladies! On my way to the gym now for my first training session! Wish me luck!

Thanks ladies I will add you both! I need guidance!!

My dr does it at no additional charge caz it is still in clinical trial

I paid nothing for my plication 6 weeks ago...my dr is dr Adam smith in ft worth )

Isn't 1-800-get-thin the doctors that are being sued for all those deaths??!!! I watched it on 20/20 or dateline

Thanks for all the encouragement ladies! I love this site!!

Think twice a week for now is good enough? And of course cardio on off days!!

Awesome! Thanks! And congrats on it loss, thats amazing! I don't know why I think I'm gonna gain weight! I think as long as I'm eating my 1200 cals or less a day I HAVE to lose!

I had it April 2! Down 23lbs in 7 weeks. I wouldn't have done it any other way, even without being filled u have restriction )

I'm seeking out all the major band losers (weight loss that is!) that have lost a significant amount of weight! I'd love to hear your best tips and even before and after pictures! Really any advice you can offer those of us just getting started. I was banded April 2 and am down 21lbs, but it's slowing down now.

Wow! You rate REALLY healthy! No wonder I'm not losing lol! Are you on myfitnesspal?? Or do u not bother counting cals? Are u in ur green zone?

Oh, and thanks )

Ok I'm guessing my problem is I'm eating too many carbs. I know better than to eat carbs! I guess I just figured if I was eating less of things I would still lose, but this dang pcos screws up everything! I have to remember I'm different from others. Can u give me an example of what one of ur days looks like?? Are you Atkins style or more like south beach?

I get all confused with this calorie crud too! I hate counting calories, but when my weightloss slows down I automatically think I'm eating too much! After all the years of dieting I'm just tired! Even when I have 1100 cals a day I think it's too much and that's just crazy!!

I've been really bad about taking my vitamins! But I like the whole not over thinking it thing! I get too hung up on counting every calorie!!! It get so frustrating

Ok so I was banded April 2. Day one went by fine, day two I ended up in the ER that night for violent violent vomiting, nausea and diarrhea (uncontrollable) when we called the dr ion the middle of the night he instructed us to go to a "specific" hospital across town. This was at 1am in the morning and I thought I was dying! So at the hospital I received an iv, pain meds, and the dr ordered an MRI. Anyways long story short, I was self pay at 10k...yesterday I got a bill from the hospital for 3k!!!! I guess I just assumed that since he sent us to a specific hospital and it was day 2, that he was taking care of it!! My husband is pissed and wants to take him to small claims court, but I'm scared caz I have to deal with them for the next year of my life! I'm also part of his clinical trial for the band with plication, so I assumed if something went wrong on day two he would take of it. Maybe I'm just naive...any thoughts????
