Thanks for all the help! I have been trying a banana and protein shake.. but its a bit too thick and i only get a little bit down. But it holds me for quite a while.. ill stick with that and see how i go.... i feel a bit better knowing ive had something....

Hi all can anyone tell me what they think.. i wake up at 7am every morning and i have absolutley no appetite so i make a cup of tea and get on with my morning.. i dont get hungry until about 11ish, and by then i think theres no point in eating now because i will be having lunch at 12.30.. is this ok? Should i be trying to get something down earlier?

Can someone please explain to me what plication is? I was banded on feb this year and i have never heard of that term..thanks!

Oh wow youve done amazingliy awesomely well!!! I hope i can achieve what you have achieved! Congratulations!!

Thanks guys for the support! Today was my first chocolate free day in 5 days! Was a b***h of a day but im in bed and chocolate free....

Well thats the thing..i havent they have been gifts from students.. To buy some i need to get in the car and go to the shop.. I dont do it but it doesnt stop me from rummagging through my cupboards hoping that i forgot some somewhere.. Its all gone now but the cravings and that crazy feeling hasnt.. THATS my issue...

Makes me feel better knowing im not alone! Ive lost 20kgs in 2.5 months.. Ive got a looong way to got though!

I have had trouble the last week with limiting the naughty food.. Ive thrown it out and it has worked but i celebrated easter this weekend and i consumed quite a bit of chocolate.. Now i find myself looking for some.. Its very hard.. Ive decided to walk it off everytime i get a craving.. Its bloody hard.. Any other suggestions?

I hope youre right!!

In wearing a heart rate monitor when i walk and i have reached a rate of 160-170 brcause i choose all the hills on my area so i do het a good calprie burn but the kgs werent dropping..i have a weigh in tomorrow so i will see how ive gone.. If im the same i will have to shake things up abit!!! Thanks for the advice guys!

Im happy that i motivated you! Thanks for the advice.. I have been banded 2 months and i have lost 20kg..i still have a loong way to go though! I wear a heart monitor and it keeps me motivated to reach my optimum heart rate so i walk briskly up and down hills.. I was just put off abit..i even did zumba lol it was veery funny but def an awesom workout! Lets hope its muscle and hopefully next week ill see a difference...?

Yeah i have friends telling ive shrunk a bit but i was shattered when the numbers didnt go down! I walk to my brothers house.. Or to my parents..or to my grans and back theyre all nice walks.. I cant do the machines..i find them veery boring!!

Hi all for the last 10 days i have been going out for 1 hour walks everyday and keeping track of my food on mfp.. I weighed myself this morning and i have not lost anything! Im really disapointed.... Has this hsppened to anyone else?? Am i doing something wrong??

Thanks fpr the tips.. Yes i have seen a nutritionist but she went through foods to eat and not to eat.. Not much more to be honest.. My dr is very quick, she answers my questoons honestly.. But it seems ive been asking the wrong ones.. I came on here for some support and advice.. I know im not the only one with questions and concerns so it helps having somewhere to go to discuss and get ideas from...

Thanks guys!

Hi everyone im fairly new to mfp and ive been banded 2 months.. Id love to join a few of you on MFP! my user name is lisbeth84 if anyone is interested

Thank you.. That website was very helpful...i need to be more concious of how fast i eat... And how much i drink with my food...i tend to eat very quickly when i am alone...

Hi i was banded on feb 15 ive had 2 fills and im up to 4.2.. The last fill was a month ago but i am feeling i can eat more that i should.. Ive never had any complications and i have only been sick twice..everyone ive spoken to has been telling me there will be a heap of foods i wont agree with and i will experience all these discomforts... am i just lucky or is there a fault with my band? I dont feel the restriction like other people i have spoken to.. Im quite worried..any advice is welcome!
