too much of me

I'm really enjoying all the replies, umm do you guys make your own sushi at home????? If so can you share your recipe???

What is ceviche:thumbup:

Well I think what ever works for you, I did keep it a secret just telling a few family members. I did tell a friend who was seeking info on the computer for lap band, so I just gave in and swore her to keep it to herself and I could trust her and talked to her about it. She will have lap band next week and she was so grateful that I shared my experience with her.

Just wondering what was your latest favorite healthy meal ??? Mine is BBQ Salmon and Frozen String Beans with almonds. The Salmon is 24 gm protien, however I can't eat the whole piece. Looking foward to seeing your reply.:eek: Start Weight ~ 232 Now weight ~ 192 Goal Weight ~ 150

Thanks For The Info Guys, I Am Exercise An Hour A Day And I Mix It Up With Stair Climber, Weights, Some Cardio. No Workouts On The Weekend However. Thanks Agian For Quick Reply!!!! My Goal Weight Is 150 And I Am At 192 Now.

Hello everyone I was banded June 25 07. I have lost 40 lbs I wish it was a little more however I will get there. I eat all my protien about 60g a day. How ever I still feel tired and would like to know if anyone has ideas on anything to take to put pep in my step? I do have under active thyroid problem, yes taking good old Leventhyroxin, however it's still lacking. Oh by the way yes I do have a little more energy since loosing 40lbs.:biggrin2:

I Am Thrilled, Banned June 25th 2007. Love It!!!!!!!!!!!

When I am having this problem, I get on this forum and slowly I'm not in that state of mind to eat. I feel inspired to be my best!!!! HANG IN THERE

you guys are great! thanks for the fast replies. My calorie in take is @ 800 a day and some days I walk for a hour and some days I don't. So I will continue to hang in there and step up my excercise routine..

I HAVE STOP LOOSING WEIGHT AFTER LOOSING GOOD FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS, NOW I HAVE CAME TO A SCREECHING HAULT. YES I REALLY AM FOLLOWING THE RULES SO WHAT IS HAPPENING? HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE? I HAVE LOST 30 POUNDS SINCE JUNE 26, 2007. YES I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LOSS HOWEVER I AM REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TO LOOSING MORE. WHAT TO DO, FEELING SAD AND HOPE MY WEIGHT LOSS RIDE IS NOT OVER.......:faint:

No it has not my husband loves me big or small, I am blessed to have that kind of love. UNCONDITIONAL what a great word !:eek:

I just relized when I drink I am taking big gulps of water, does this mean anything is wrong? This might sound like a silly question, but I am very alarmed. THANKS:confused: I have had one fill and very little at that, Doc said my band was pretty tight as it was. When it comes to eating I still stay with 3 to 4 oz and I am full.

Has anyone stretched there pouch and if so what did you do about it. I am allways measuring 3 to 4 ounces of food due to fear of this happening. I did self pay and taking all precautions. :rambo

hello fatattack my boss who was 64 at the time had gastric by pass and lost 100 + pounds and she looks amazing and she feels like she is 40 again she said she would do it over again and she regreted waiting so long she has her life back and health is wonderful with energy to boot. She is one of the reasons why I decided to go thru with lap band. Just to witness what it has done for her and to see her looking and feeling so good, your health is priceless. I wish you all the luck!

Near the end befor my first fill I did notice I was reachingfor a second piece of fish, so I had to be really careful. Now after my first fill I can only eat about 3oz at time.

OMG I have lost 19lbs so far and I am feeling great already, I have hope for a better me a healtheir me. Just having hope is huge for me.

I Felt The Same Way And Slowly It Did Get Better. Hang In There. I Was Banned On June 25 2007 And Now I Am So Glad I Did It.

Oh yes I am taking medication for it and eating the right foods to promote thyroid funtion. Still I had a hard time loosing weight.

:banplease:I have a under active thyroid. So I was wondering for those who have this problem, How has it affected your weight loss? (or has it). Having this problem was one of the reasons I decided to get the band. Trying to loose weight before the band was like running up hill and not getting any where.:faint:

I as well had sleep apnea and wore the mask for some time, it really made a difference in my health. I actually woke up feeling good and not so tired. Slowly started loosing weight and didn't need it anymore. However at the time it was a bleesing, and yes it took some time to get use to the mask. (it was worth it):notagree

WOO-HOO JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO POST MY TICKER

I was banded on 6/25/07 weight was 230. I have lost 15lbs. I can tell that i am not as restricted as before. So yes I am worried that I will gain some weight back before my first fill.

<p>How much weight did you loose, starting at first day of surgery until your first fill?</p>

I think you have to do what is best for you and if your family is not on board, it's truely their lost. This journey or chapter in your life is truely a amazing process. Keep a smile on your face and be happy. It is time to be the person you were ment to be.
