I was banded 10/5. Lost 46 so far. Have about 60 to go!

Hello! I'm doing great! I'm going in for my third fill 12/26. I've lost 46 lbs so far and still going strong. Banded 10/5. I take TRX classes 3-4 times a week for now.

Wow they got that wrong! Heehee!

I didn't have a questionnaire nor did I get a copy of the eval. Now I'm curious!

I'm an accountant and CPA candidate, meaning I'm sitting for the exam soon. Started as the receptionist, loved it, moved to the accounting department and 9 years later I am partner in the firm. Taxes to me are exciting...don't laugh!

I am touched by your story. You are not only your doctors success story but I dare say you should be a lap band poster child! I applaud you! ( as my children would say " you are a gentleman and a scholar!")

Congrats! And welcome to banded life!

About the same yes, usually high in sodium too. I recommend a low sodium version like organic chicken broth at trader joes or Safeway.

Thank you for your insightful article. Don't emotional eat is something I've heard a million times but I rarely get practical ways on how NOT to. I've noticed that I am more emotional since the start of this journey, mainly because I don't stifle my feelings with food anymore.

Amazing!

Track what you ARE eating and take it to your NUT. Also track time of day you are eating. Having a one on one conversation with your nutritionist will get you quicker results that listening to our suggestions. We couldn't possibly have all the information needed to effect change for you! Good luck and keep us posted! Btw, my gf didn't start losing until 2 YEARS after her band date and then it just dropped off!

So shocking. Good thing this person doesn't know where you live. This type of anger ends in mass shooting in schools etc... When is enough enough?

I did not " imply" anything. Mine was a sincere question. Again sorry I took the time to answer you. Lesson learned!

That is the soft food stage where you teach your teeth. The mushy stage is blended foods. This stage doesn't last too long for most of us but it is the gradual between full liquids and soft food phase. Clear liquid Full liquid Mushy Soft Regular In that order. Did you maybe miss that stage or forget that you did it? Everyone's dr is different so maybe you didn't have that one. My mushy stage only lasted 8 days.

Good morning all! This is the weekend for the 10k. I hope those who signed up can still do so. As added motivation I am running my 10k in honor of the victims of yesterday's tragic shooting. Please post your results here so we can all Celebrate together. Also any thoughts you had about the experience would be great. Miles/km completed: Time: Date: How you felt at the finish: Happy run/walk everyone Bee strong!

Sugar free Popsicles saved me during this phase. I too was so parched but really even a ton of water wouldn't have fixed it.

It's Saturday! Checking in for week two. Start 235.5 Week 1 233.4-lost 2.1 Week 2 231.2 Down 2.2 lbs this week! Hurray!
