First, ill start by saying I'm ashamed.
Second, I'm still a fat person what do you expect?
Sunday evening I made homemade burritos for my family. I always make a ton of food so I made 2 full casserole dishes. Everyone ate, got full and there were two remaining burritos. I shared one with my toddler so I ate about 3/4. Don't judge me. Anyhow, I wrapped the two remaining burritos in foil and put them in the fridge. I made myself very clear to ALL my kids that NO ONE is to touch my burritos. At this point I have clearly forgotten that I'm a bandster. But, I went ahead and threatened em anyway. Now keep in mind, I'm 36 years old and I have 4 teenagers & a toddler under 2. They are 19, 17, 15, 13 & almost 2. So I have to keep a close eye on my foods because these kids are animals when it comes to eating. They all take sports and they are ALWAYS eating. Someday ill write a blog all about my grocery bill. Ok back on subject.
So, its midnight and I'm still awake. If I'm up this late then I start feeling all snacky. I'm laying in bed and its totally dark in my house. All of a sudden I see a faint light in the hallway. Its not the hallway light. Its the refrigerator light! Ah hell no! I sneak down the hall, go left to the kitchen and peek around the cabinet. My son is taking a bite of my burrito! You can guess what happened from here right? Needless to say I wrapped my burritos back in foil and placed them safely in the refrigerator. Next day its lunch time. Yaaay me I get burritos!! Heat them "both" up ( minus one huge bite) and begin to take my tiny bites. Obviously I'm full before I finish the first one so I stop eating. My son is home on his lunch break. He's starving. I have 1 and 1/4 burrito left. I can't eat the rest but I'm protecting them like a lioness protecting her cub. I tell him to make a sandwich and chips. In the end.......I let him have the burritos! I need a fill! Lol

Milk of magnesia was my best friend! It cleans your intestines top to bottom with no cramping. And it helps you pass gas! Get some!

It is absolutely because you need a fill. Try to do your best at controlling the volume in which you eat and control hunger with Fiber. I was in the same boat. Started to really lose with my 4th fill. Its a long process

I'm at 7.8 cc now. She told me with this one or the next I should hit my sweet spot. It seems like everything hinges on the sweet spot so I have this ideology that when i hit it, ill have mastered my lapband lol. I know its dumb to think the weight is gonna fall off but I've seen it happen for some. I'm doing everything correctly and I'm losing. I wish I could have been skinny for summer but oh well. Ill be skinny for winter.

Brianb its so funny you mention chips. When I said I love salsa I failed to mention I eat it with chips. I don't eat a lot, however, I'm not totally cutting all of my favorite foods out of my life. I'm losing weight, I eat healthy and I allow myself carbs.
I agree with you 100%. Carbs are the bodies main source of energy and I refuse to stop eating them. I don't go overboard. But I do eat them. I also allow myself to eat sweets. I control it though and its not everyday. Just a treat here and there.

Lol I know I know. But.....I still hope for magic at each fill. I just weighed myself and I've already lost 6 oz. Ha! Seriously though, I know its a long process and I'm thankful for each pound I shed.

Just had my 5th fill. I'm not gonna say my 5th and final because I thought my 4th fill was my final fill. I don't know why but, every time I go I feel like, "ok this is the magic dose and now I'm gonna get skinny". I guess lapband is a disappointment in that regard because its such a slow process. I, however, am also thankful for my lapband because I don't want all the skin issues, bypass patients get. Yes, they lose weight fast, but some gain it all right back because, unlike lapband, when they stretch its permanent. My sister had bypass and lost a 100 lbs. I became the fat sister. 8 years later she's put about 30 back on and now I have lapband. Needless to say she's already contacted a surgeon about band over bypass lol. Come on 5th fill!! Make me skinny! I know it doesn't work like that but I use my band correctly so I know the weight is gonna start really falling off. I'm not gonna be the fat sister. Hopefully it won't be her either. We're sending "fat" vibes towards our skinny sister. Its her turn lol!

Good luck! Welcome to the wonderful world of lapband! Don't forget, your pain after surgery is from the gas. Walk walk walk.

Hey so your words def spoke to me-- so how are you eating as you get to green zone- I have days where I can eat but others like today that I can barely keep broth down. I am at 5.8ccs of my 10ccs band and lost 50lbs since surg in Dec 12

Lol!!!! Yes, it will be a huge relief! It'll be nice to wear a belt that isn't 10 ft long and shirts that aren't baggy (as if baggy ever hid my rolls). I'm going thru my closet questioning some of my clothing choices as a fat person. Eeek.

With most plateau's, you have to trick your body. Add a little fat to your daily diet for a week the resume your normal eating pattern. That is what my personal trainer told me a few years ago and it worked like a charm. Its all about tricking your body.
