Head hunger is the worst. Since my last post I feel like I can over come it, sticking to my salads, wraps and other low calorie options. (Most of the time) I am definitely not to tight, to tell you the truth I could probably use .5 more as well. Still working on the whole half cup of food thing, it is hard to stop eating so much.

I love it. Yay for you! I rejoined Onderland myself about 3 weeks ago it was great.

Lisa I am your scale twin. Weighing in at 194.4 lbs. Total lost this month is -6 lbs. I hit my goal for the month and I am feeling really good.

Okay everyone I need some input. I got my fourth fill a week ago, I believe I am up to 7cc in an 11cc band and I definitely feel restriction however my head hunger feels like it is taking over at times. Last night I ate four hot wings and about 20 French fries from Wing Stop. ... Boy did I regret it, I literally made myself feel so sick (upset stomach, chest pressure) So my question is does anyone have these problems this far into our journey? Or am I alone and need to seek help?

Checking in at 195.5 lbs. hit my goal for the month. I set it low this month but darn it I hit it. Lol!

198 down 2lbs. Yay! Being in the hundreds is a pretty amazing feeling!

I didn't hit my goal for the month but I made it to the wonderful One'derland 199 lbs. . 6 lbs for the month.

Thank you guys so much. I love having this forum. There's not a lot of people I am honest with about my weight so having you all is a blessing.

Yay to me I am finally at 199.4 lbs. It has been quite the journey so far. I was banded on 1-21-13 and I am down 29 lbs. I am hoping for more success in the next couple months. Vegas here I come!

I have never been much of a binge eater however, I do have my issues with cake and ice cream, for some reason I can't let it go. I haven't really eaten it much since the surgery only at birthday party and Easter but I had a piece yesterday and today. Throwing it in the trash immediately. I have a question for all of my fellow banders out there. I am having a huge problem with portion control. My doctor says only eat a quarter cup of food, I can't even imagine eating only a quarter cup of food. On a regular I eat about 2 cups of food, I know this is really bad. The other day for the first time I ate a whole 6 inch. Subway sandwich, what is wrong with me. HELP! I just know I have stretched my pouch. :-( I am still losing weight however I don't think it's because of the band I think it is because I work my butt off in the gym.

200lbs. Down 2lbs. Hoped for a little more but that's okay. I know I will get there. Can't wait to be out of the 200's. :-)

202, down 1 lb. Only 3 lbs. more until I am out of the 200's, sooo excited.

Checking in at 203 down 2 lbs. down. YAY!!!

I had my surgery by Dr. Tillquist. I love him, he has been a great Dr. , although he may not be the warmest person in the world he is up front and doesn't beat around the corner. I got my surgery on 01-21-13. When did you get yours?

Personal goal for April- start an intimidating excercise class. Date banded~01-21-13 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~ 23 lbs. What about spring do you like? The warm weather and get togethers.

I did not hit my goal this month :-( but my final weigh in was 205. 7 lbs. Lost, better luck in April.

I am right there with you. I was banded in January and I am feeling out of control. I am still sticking to portion control (for the most part) but it is what I am eating that is bad. We eat out a lot and I want what my family gets and so I do. I read the article from up above and I think that is exactly what I need to get going again.

Skinnyhereicome Goal weight for March 31st~ 199 Weight on March 1st~ 212 Weight on March 8th~ 209 Weight on March 15th~ 207 Total so far this month- 5 lbs. 7 lbs. to meet my goal. Hoping to make goal this month. Excited to be in the 100's.

How do I get one of those Body weight Tickers on my page?

Babykins529: Thank you so much you made me feel so much better when I read this. I am happy to say that over the last few days I have lost a few more. I am down 21 lbs. YAY!!! Finally over the 20 lbs. hump. I just need the extra encouragement every now and again. Thanks again. :-)

By the way I am 5 foot 2 30 yrs.old Weight on surgery day 228 lbs. Weight today 209 lbs.

I am very happy for all of you that have lost so much weight. I often feel sad thinking that I have only lost 19 pounds since my surgery on January 21st. It has taken me almost 2 months to lose not even a full 20 pounds, a couple years ago I lost 20 pounds in 2 months just by watching what I ate and exercising. Now I exercise my butt off, watch calorie intake, and watch my portions, just to lose the same amount of weight, I don't see what the big difference is. I need some positive feedback from all of you that have struggled or perhaps some pointers. Thanks.
