ADM07

I feel I can still eat. I try not to do any bread, just because. My Doc told me that she doesn't want me to (Diet) just eat normal. 3 bites of protien to one of other. I see everyone on here counting calories and so on. She said the goal is to eat a small amount of what ever I want. She said NO protien shakes unless I was tight. Thank you for all your responses!

My last fill was in October. I missed November's. I still feel restriction, but since October I have lost 6 lbs. I think I need a fill. I live an hour away and it is hard for me to get off work. I just don't want to go and they say NO FILL! What do you think?

If you feel restricted, but can eat more than a cup of food? I don't want to be too tight> Please help. I have only lost 20 lbs in 3 months.

Way to go... Keep up the good work. I just might try the SQ.

Badonkadonkbutt I too was banded on 8/20/07 I have lost 13 lbs that is it. I am a lower BMI and wish it was at a faster rate. I have had one fill and nothing. I have another scheduled for Monday. I have 40 lbs to loose. I guess that I thought it would be easier, was I wrong!!!

QuickSlim-30 does it make your heart race like diet pills? I have HB and can't take anything like that. In 12 weeks I have lost 17 lbs total. I too am a lower BMI and need some help.

scouser vbmenu_register("postmenu_553145", true); To get your ticker go to the tickerfactory.com enter your info and it walks you through the rest. It is pretty easy. I was told that I wouldn't loose like the others that had more to loose. Has it been hard for you? I was self pay and Friday my husband came home and was let go at his work. The company is down sizing. So I haven't done so well this weekend.

Hi I was banded on 8/20/07. My name is Amy. I look forward to sharing with you.

Nana, see I still don't know why some Dr's only let you have liquids and some let you do calories. I will be banded on Monday 8/20. You are right, this is soooo hard. Thanks for the information.

Nana, I know that it is to shrink your liver. I just wondered why they have you do liquids instead of a diet? They told me that I would have a hard time reaching the 10lbs in 10 days because I have less to loose. I was so hungry last night I wanted to cry. I have Friday Sat and Sun to go. This is way harder than I epected it to be. I gave up Diet Coke in March and never looked back. I had a glass 2 weeks ago and I swear it made me sick. That was really easy to give it up and that was all I was drinking. So I thought the liquid diet would be easy too. Boy was I wrong.

Nana tell us more about your liver and surgery. I have 3 days to to and this diet is killing me...

I get that it shrinks your liver, what I am not sure about is "Why liquids?" If you loose 10 lbs how will they know what method you used to loose that weight?

That is great. I just wonder why they want you to have liquids? How would they know if you did liquids or just dieted? Did they explain that to you?

So do the Dr's just want you to loose weight? Or is there something with the liquids only? I would really like to know more!
