  11. Why don't you go back to your meals one month post op, just to get yourself stabilized again? I found that very helpful whenever I reached a plateau. But I'd say you should get a small fill again, and just be very careful with what you eat - eliminating whatever is causing the reflux...? Wishing you all the best!
  12. Why do you feel lost? Has anything specific happened?

  15. I'm also losing massive amounts of hair. Wish the weight would come off as fast! Luckily I had very thick hair to begin with. I do believe that it will grow back again once all the weight has come off...?
  16. Why don't you join My Fitness Pal.com - it's fun and informative and it keeps you on track! Just put the three weeks behind you and get right back on the 'band wagon'...

  18. I'm happy to report that this past weekend, I did go (slightly) over 1200 cals and lo and behold...! This morning at my weekly weigh-in, I'm ONE kg down!!! YAY!!!

  25. Can somebody please give me some advice? I log onto MyFitnessPal every day to record my intake calories. Every day I'm below 1200 cals and every day I get the message that I'm in danger of putting my body into 'starvation mode' and will therefore NOT lose weight... Well blow me! I haven't lost a single ounce in three weeks and I'm about ready to explode of frustration! Should I eat more? Please help?
  26. Still on the same plateau - will I ever break through?!?! Starting to wonder if the scale isn't stuck.... Banded on 23/10. If I eat any less, I might as well stop eating all together! I'm on MyFittnessPal.com and I log in religiously every day. I'm below 1200 calories every day. I'm still on mushies and I drink at least 3litres Water every day. I haven't been back to the gym, as per dr's orders, but I walk to and from school every day, at a fast, brisk pace (20mins). I do not take the lift, but climb stairs wherever I go. Still, no change in the scale... What am I doing wrong??? Please HELP!
  27. Tell me about it! Thank God for the band, else I would've given up round about now...!
  28. Just can't seem to break through this DAMN plateau...! Tried everything; excessive water, carb rotating, fasting, 'binging', exercise, rest, praying....
  29. Fabulous! Way to go girlfriend!
  30. LoL! Good for you! Certain veggies also do... not a lot, mind, but they do. Google 'Protein rich foods' and you'll get a very comprehensive list.

  32. You have to drink a LOT of water! Remember, urinating is one of only three ways your body can expell the fat... So the more you drink water, the quicker the scale will start moving! All the best!
  33. It's going to be a HELLISHLY difficult day for you, and you'll feel tired, sore, dizzy and generally sorry for yourself, but it is possible.... I wish you all the best!
