That's amazing, congrats! Do you mind sharing what you normally eat daily?

That's amazing, Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing what a typical meal day is like for you? I'm almost 4 months out and I'm really struggling to lose.

209 this morning... Total 4lbs this month, but I know I could've done better.

I wish I would've done this. I was so excited about my surgery, I told my family and closest friends....and my mother told some relatives... now I feel like everyone is constantly looking to see what I'm eating/losing. It's just added a lot more scrutiny and pressure.

210.5 today

212 today- disappointing because I had gone lower and I'm back up again today.

At this point, my surgeon allowed me to eat sugar free jell-o, sugar free puddings, and greek yogurt... did yours say anything regarding these?

Hi, this is my first time joining this challenge... trying to keep myself more accountable Name, real or screen~ Aimee Goal weight for August 31st~ 205 Weight on August 1st~ 213 Age~ 30 City/State~ Miami, FL Dietary goal for August~ Eat clean foods- cut out more starches and processed foods from my diet. Exercise goal for August~ Exercise minimum 4x a week Date banded~ 5/30/13 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~ 17lbs

Mandi, what kind of nutritional plan are you following? I had mine done on 05/30/13, and I've lost a total of 18 lbs so far. I exercise a minimum of 3-4 times a week, and I wish I were losing the weight a little bit faster. I lost about 13 lbs the first month, and about 5 the following. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I hope to maybe one day relate to this. For now, it's also a struggle for me to eat small portions, I'm praying additional fills will get me to this point.

Have you had any fills during the year?

Lorac, I'm in Miami FL, where are you?

Wow that's beautiful news, congratulations!! Very exciting. Contact your surgeon as soon as possible, maybe he will unfill you a little bit, or not. Either way, you want to take care of this little miracle baby as much as you can. Best of luck!

I had my surgery 5/30/13, the first couple weeks while I was healing I had no problems eating the suggested food quantity amounts. My doctor told me last week that at this point, I should be eating no more than 6-8oz per meal. Unfortunately, I know I eat more than that. I don't eat as much as I used to prior to my surgery, but not as little as I should. I'm already on my second fill 6.5cc on a 14cc band. I was hoping this last fill would make portion control a bit easier on me. Is this something I should realistically hope will get better down the road with more fills? Aimee
