  1. If your not already get u a GOOD multivitamin chewable I can really tell when I miss a day
  2. Christ...150 Hello I'm Kerry and trust me its very frustrating I was banded in April and didn't start losing until June when I got first fill due to hernia. I've lost 39 pounds since but last 6 weeks haven't lost any. Like u I'm eating 700 to 800 cals a day 100 Protein and lots of Water just be patient there's to many success stories for it not to as long as u do what u suppose to do hang in there we r all here for u
  3. Well pbk write me down i'll keep any time as much as I can we got to stick together
  4. Well pbk write me down get ahold of me anytime I'm kinda new ( since April) but will be more than happy to help as much as I can
  5. R there any Amarillo pampa bandits out there needing some local support
  6. I just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays early. Everyone knows the holidays r kinda scary cause of all the fabulous food. Just try to make good choices of the kind of food u eat and be strong. Losing weight is hard work even for us banders and we r all here for u thank u all
  7. I worked my ass of this summer I was riding a bike 2 miles aday swimming in pool for 2 hours aday everyday 7 days a week now that its cold I come to a still trying to figure out something to do. U can text me anytime if u want my number is 806-662-0342 maybe we can knock this crap off together
  8. I was banded in April didnt start losing until my first fill in may and as of now I've lost 40 pounds and 17 3/4 inches at three measure points
  9. All I'm saying to people is don't be ashamed of it tell who u want for me ANYTHING that's wonderful life saving and I'm proud of I want to share that from girlfriends to family to my wonderful lap band thank u Jesus for showing all these people the way to a happier healthier life don't let judge mental people put u down
  10. Look at it this way. A person that has lost a leg do they have a slight limp cause their leg hurts or sprang an ankle. NO they have a fake leg due to losing a leg. Well I'm losing weight cause I got the lap band. To me being over weight is more shameful than losing weight do to a tool inserted in my body to help me lose weight and be healthy BE PROUD BE HEALTHY BE YOURSELF
  11. Hey sarie everyone is right on cause like u I haven't lost on scale but 4 pounds in 2 months but luckily I was measuring and in that 2 months I lost 2.5 inches at three measure points. How that works blows my mind but it is very much true hang in there and keep doing what ur doing
  12. Well thank u blue eyes I just try to be me 100%
  13. I look at it differently. I feel that if u meet someone u should give that person a chance to know the real u. I want to know that when the chance to get serious about some one they know just who I really am and that includes my band. I'm not a shame of my band but I was a shame of my weight. I want people to know that at one time I did have a problem and I saw and knew it therefore I got the help to help me fix it and that's just what I'm doing. I'f they can't handle the truth then I didn't need them anyway. As far as the right time who's to say when the right time is I feel like its when your setting there talking letting that person get to know who u really r ???ƒ
  14. Well thank u wallflower I always am honest and sincere to everyone and everything I do. I don't want people to see a person in me that I'm not. If everyone was that way I don't feel there would be so much miss understanding today
  15. I also have been heavy all my life but deep down I knew the kind of person I am inside and that helped out weight my weight problem. And your right he's not worth it keep looking there r other guys like me out there but u really have to look. Good for u
  16. Just wanted to share didn't lose anything before surgery to mention but at end of three months I'm down 40 pounds. After my 4th fill I'm barely eating 2-3/4 cups of food for entire day
  17. Ok after having 10.5cc in my 14cc band I'm really feeling a lot of restriction. I barely got down 1 cup pinto beans last nite for supper. Am I close to "green zone". I even noticed that if I take to big a drink of orange mango juice it takes a minute to get through if that's normal
  18. Well I got first fill 3 months ago and lost 7 pounds at 4.5 cc then I got second fill of three ccs and lost 17 pounds then my third fill got 1.5 cc and lost 6 pounds. Now got fourth fill today of 2 cc so hoping to get a good loss this month. Of corse I've been burning around 1200 cals aday riding bicycle and swimming so it's not been all easy and I've been eating between 700 and 850 cals aday just saying
  19. Thank u and everyone one else that has responded to my threads it really is a big help
  20. Well I went to dr today and got my 4th fill I have lost 34 pounds in three months as of today and now have 10.5 ccs in my 14 cc band hope this month is better than last. I only lost 6 pounds last month but still pretty happy with that
  21. To anyone with same problem my nut said that due to so much weight loss it shocked my body and takes sometimes 2 weeks for body to recover before I start to drop weight again and I did raise my cals to 1000 hope i start losing some thanks for all inputs
  22. We're talking about protein shakes and bars lots of tuna plain and fish chicken and pork with sides like mixed vegs and salads
  23. Thats just it I'm getting my 80 to 90g of protein less than 20% fat and less than 30% carbs all at around 900 cals and I'm not hungry working out between 1200 and 1800 cals burn a day it's the scale that's not agreeing with my regiment
