I was introduced to "the daily plate" last week. And I have to confess I was thinking what could this do for me. Well, all I can say is I have been losing 2lbs a week since I have been keeping track of what i eat. So give it a try and let me know what you think!! Just go on line to "the daily plate". :Angel_anim:

Is 2 miles a day not enough to lose weight? Are should I do a little more? I hate exercise(work out):smile2:, but I love to walk!!

Thanks, I'll try and see!:smile2:

Just when you think you've figured out your band(BAM) IT TAKES A NEW TURN!! I have resceduled three fill appointments because one minute I'm loose and the next minute I'm tight! How and when do I know it's time. I'm not rushing to get a fill and then be fustrated when I'm to tight. It's been almost 2 1/2 months since my last fill. But sometimes I can eat way to much and then sometimes I can't hardly get water down. I have been almost the same weight for the last 1 1/2 months, but scared to get a fill because sometimes I am just to tight. It's 7 months and I would like to know if it will get a little better for me ? I just don't know what to do! If someone could relate please let me know!! Oh and I started walking for the last few days and lost 1 lbs. I was so excited this morning when I got on that scale.

Thanks GG, that is just what I am going to do. I'll try some tuna or grilled fish tonight and see how it goes down!

In the morning and afternoon "only aroundTOM" I can't eat much of anything until the evening. Then I probably eat to much:rolleyes:that evening. But a few days after"TOM" I can eat very well. But if I go to the Dr. and get a unfill I will eat like no tomorrow!!! So I will wait and see if I can eat hard Proteins in a few days.Is smoothie King a no no?Even if I get the low calorie with a little protein?:confused2:

My Dr. has constantly said No to any type of smoothie or Protein drink. He only wants me to eat hard protein. T he problem is the last few months when its"that time of the month" I get so tight that I can't have much of anything but protein drinks, smoothies or soup. But my Dr. still wants me to EAT my protein and if I drink anything he is goinig to give me an unfill. I don't want that because I'm already hungry alot. But it's only when it's "that time" so what should I do? I don't want to lie and hurt my self but I really don't think I need a unfill!Please somebody HELP!!

:confused:Please help me, is there a difference in a protein drink and a smoothie with protein? My Dr. does not want me to drink any type of smoothie or protein drinks, but I 'm to tight in the morning to eat anything and I'm starving until I'm able to eat. So does anyone have any suggestions.

I am a slow loser! I only lost 38-40lbs so for. It has been very difficult, but my Dr. wants me to lose that way. I started at 223 and had my sudrgery on Sept. 9 2007, so I reaaly look at you all and wish it was me. But i try to look at it as I only have 45lbs to go before I am at my goal weight. But I have a question for you guys, Do any of you drink like smoothies or protein drinks? My Dr. tells me not to do drinks,but it is hard for anything to go down early. I know I should listen to him but I get tempted to drink one in the morning so I 'M NOT STARVING!!

Everybody keep saying that! But I lose 3-4lbs after my fill is done and then don't lose anthing til my next fill. I get so mad at myself, I try to eat the right foods but once a month I might eat icecream (small portion)or something else I know I'm not suppose to have,but still can't lose much.I am 185 and was 223. September 5 is my banded date. I am truly a "slow loser." Oh, I don't excersie but I don't over eat.

Great Job! We got banded the same day and I lost about 38lbs.I also was hoping to have at least lost 50lbs,but if I don't lose another pound I am glad I decided to do this. I was 223 and now I'm 185. So, keep me informed !! O.K

I was banded 9/5/07 and when I go for a fill I lose 2-3lbs right after my fill.Then I don't lose anything for a month or so. What is up with that? I have lost about 33lbs. Does anyone find that that is a little slow? My last fill was 02/17/08 and I have some restriction, but just not really losing any weight. So what do I do?:biggrin:
