  1. Missy... I just read the article by The Lap-band is NOT about Restriction- Dr. Simpson, that really seemed to answer some questions very well!
  2. I guess I thought I'd loose more than the one pound since 8/2 LOL I actually gained weight after I got out of surgery because they had to fill me w/ so many fluids... my blood sugar dropped in the 40s... but I am ready to get back w/ the program. I am hoping that one cup of food will fill me up... I can eat a cup, then still feel very hungry... I feel like there isn't even a band on .... except when I have tried meat. Does anyone know how many cc's the dr. filled them with to get to your happy point? I have only gotten 3 cc's about a month ago. I really appreciate all of your support!!!!
  3. Missy... I am wondering what your daily eating schedule looks like. I am impressed with your accomplishment! Also, what is your exercise regimend? Do you count calories, or proteins, or anything special that helps you? I will do whatever it takes, but I don't seem to be getting any good information. I know I need exercise, but I am just so tired after chasing 21 2nd graders around all day lol
  4. I'm frustrated too. I was banded 8/2/13 and have not lost anything more than when I went in... I have only had one fill... I do good all day, then when I get home I am starving... I can eat whatever, except for chicken or meat get stuck.. I have a friend that started an Atkins diet in Aug and has lost 50 lbs - I feel like a fool that this is not working for me.. Hoping that my next fill will do something for me. My Dr. Grossbard did the surgery... I asked him and his office for a diet plan... he responded anything except fat... and I asked how much protein or sugar.. he just repeated himself... I was so ticked off - I felt like he's there for the $. Not sure, but I am going to go back for my next fill and if no success... try another dr!!!! I am feeling disappointed, big time!
  5. my surgery is 8/2/13 and that is my fear --- But, just view what 16 lbs. looks like... and that is huge, so just keep eating healthy ... good luck :)
