  1. During my prepp diet I cheated once and ate three cookie then I cheated again and ate a bite of my daughters KFC chicken!! Trust no one is perfect I still lost 17 pounds. Now be sure to NOT cheat getting closer to the day of because certain foods swell ur stomach and if ur doc is anything like mine he won't do the surgery if ur stomach is enlarged, and from what I've heard they CAN tell!
  2. Someone please tell me how the heck do I meet 1200 hundred calories on 3 meals a day mo snack and healthy foods that I can only eat a cup of??????? I'm using my fittness pal same username by the way for those that would like to add me
  3. Thanks to u yal!! I haven't been staying on the straight and narrow because I just felt this band wasn't helping so I'd get motivated and them unmotivated same as before I was banded. I do actual feel a change with this latest fill so I have hope I'm just scared it mayb too tight cause I can't eat solids at all hopefully it will loosen in the next week cause I'm afraid to get an unbridled and go bk to feeling like nothing is even in there

  5. Sorry - nurse and she brought me from 5.3cc to 6.1cc now I'm super tight! I feel that I should bare this and just do liquids for a while cause if I dnt start loosing soon ill loose it!!!! Feeling like I should've went with the sleeve
  6. Ok I was banded 5/14 weighed in at 236 starting weight though was 253. Hadn't lost any weight since then! No restriction no motivation and sick of going to get fills every month!

  10. Thank u, I've been taking small sips of water like every 20 minutes just to get it down! I think ur right about the barfing causing extra swelling!!
  11. Yea I tried to eat right after the visit yesterday even though I know better but I was hungry, Needless to say I got two bites and that was it threw up about an hour later, the doc office gave me a number to an ER clinc but I'm scared they might remove all the fluid and I'll have to start all over!
  12. Yesterday I had a fill went from 5cc to 5.6 and I'm miserable! I can't hold dwn too much water I've called earl three times today and hadn't ate nothing just sipping on apple juice! Called the clinc and there closed until Mon! Sum1 tell me what to do I'm not a happy camper right now! Is it the swelling from the fill or could I really b too tight after just .6? I wasn't even at the green zone at 5.0... Help.......
  13. I'm so very greatfull for all of you n ur encouragement! I have just been so impatient and unmotivated lately. I get another fill next week and I CNt wait I'm hoping for sum restriction just a little would give me a boost of motivation! Untill then I'll just practice patience ..
  14. No restriction no weightloss no motivation!!!! Really wishing I would've had the sleeve instead!!! 4cc n 10cc banded May 14 n feeling no different than before unhhhhhh I'm so angry sad n thinking I'll never get this weight off tears.....

It's hard because I thought so wrng thinking the surgery was the hardest part! I wish I would've known about this app before hand! I'm here n Houston so if u are mayb we could buddy up n go to sum support groups...
