I'm new to the Rockford area and am looking for a new group. I'm 11 months out and need to get refocused!

Are you able to eat Soups? If you are taking small bites and chewing the food to mush' date=' it's like eating Soup. Just takes a lot longer.

Regurgitating? You mean PBing or actually throwing up/hurling your food from your lower stomach? PB is OK as long as it's occasional but throwing up is taboo.

Your post is also so similar to so many who, in this early phase, cannot differentiate between true hunger eminating from your stomach VS. just head hunger/craving food?

Stop, listen to your band/stomach? I mean, really stop, and think about this feeling? Get in touch with your stomach. Is it hunger or craving? Are you really hungry?

As far as not losing since last fill? Are you eating around your band now that you're getting stuck and regurgitating?[/quote']

I do chew well, but am doing more. I am definitely hungry when I go to eat, but yes I eat what I can when that does not go well. How much do u eat? One cup or a half? That being said, sometimes 1 cup is too much, I have had to learn when to stop.

Been regurgitating food lately. Had my 2nd fill on 3/25. Since then things r tough. Can't really eat a balanced, regular meal. My Dr is on vaca, so I talked to the on call. He said a lot of things that confused me. Like lb does not help with hunger, 1 cup of food is too much (1/2 is better), has no idea why my hair is falling out (suggested a mega red everyday). Here I thought I was doing good, eating one cup and waiting 4 hours between meals. And I'm hungry a lot, is it unreasonable to expect to be satisfied for at least 3 hours? Buy the way, I'm down 46lbs but nothing since the last fill. Suggestions, advise...

Anything with any flavor that's good has too much sugar. I read that u can mix a crystal light pack in a plain Greek and its good. Have not tried it yet...

Add me too plez!! happyhome90

Thanks!

Thanks so much, I'm doing as I should, so now I will just wait.

I get like 80-90 grams a day, most days!! I'm really having a hard time...

Totally normal!! Some days r tighter than others. I go with shakes and Quest bars on those days, mushy foods also. Hot liquid helps. Good luck!

U won't feel full. Measure 1 cup of food, Protein first. Eat every 3-4 hours. Don't eat more than that, for now u r on a diet. Make good choices is fine, but u need structure.

3 month weigh in, down 46lbs!!! I don't weigh myself at home, so I was sooooo happy to c that!!! Its amazing to c all my hard work paying off FINALLY!!!! Eating right and working out with the band work!!!

Go to emilybites.com and look for her Beef and broccoli. And every recipe I've tried has been great!

Thanks!! I c my Dr Monday. Ya'll are always so helpful

I had a .5cc fill on January 24th. Was good for about a month, not hungry for about 4 hours between meals. Now for the past month I feel like all I do is watch the clock to c when it's meal time. I'm still watching my calories and Protein, and workout 4-5 days a week. But I feel like the weight I lost this month is purely because of that, because I am sooooo hungry. Have a Dr appt on Monday thank God. Has this happened to u?

I agree about not starting with insanity, its really hard and if u have never worked out with a DVD b4 u may want to try something else. I use a 4 DVD set of Bob Harper. I got it at target. It's very challenging and a whole body workout.

With any weight loss surgery u have to eat correctly and exercise. Why don't u do that. Most people on here have to lose 100+ lbs and have struggled for years. I would love to have 30lbs to lose, not 110. No one here can lose without doing the work. Maybe you should do the work. I workout hard 5 days a week, u gotta sweat!!

It looks like you r on track. I eat 4-5 small meals every 3-4 hours, which is: breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, and maybe a small snack later. Try my fitness pal, an online tracker. I keep my intake around 1200Cal, but workout hard 5 days a week. Also, bulk up on Water and hot liquids help with hunger, u love diet Coco. U may need a few fills to get to your sweet spot! Chin up, u can do it!!!

I had a short conversation with Kevin Bacon as we were standing in front of the urinals next to each other in NYC.....

Strange as it sounds we had each other laughing.....

R u pulling my leg???!!?

what is the following about?

is it anything like american horror?

It's about a serial killer who has a "following". A group of people, disturbed people, who help him escape, kill, kidnap his own son from his ex who was involved with Kevin Bacon's character. Sooooo much more. Creepy crazy, but not as crazy as AHS

Dexter

The Following

Parenthood

Scandal is awesome

Revenge

If u r not watching The Following, u should be! Creepy, crazy, keeps u guessing, and Kevin Bacon!!

Normal. It took me a couple Weeks to feel better. U r having gas pain, best to walk around your house and take Gas-x. Give yourself time to heal, and follow your Dr instructions. And take your pain meds regularly, don't wait till u r in pain, after a couple days it will subside. Congrats!!!

My Dr had me wait till I was 6 Weeks out. U have to heal. For now u r basically on a diet. It's hard for now, but will get better. Stick to the plan, u will do great!

Try looking at Emilybites.com, she has awesome recipes! Love the taco cup cakes!! I do cook differently now, low fat and high Protein. And my family likes the new recipes.< /p>

One thing I'm dealing with is not getting that full tummy feeling. I guess u can say I Miss it... But I want to be healthy more than I want to be full. it takes some getting use to, but if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything.

I have an appointment on the 25th. Guess I thought that once I felt like I was "green" I would stay there. It's all good, a journey... Thanks for the info!
