Ok guys, I just dont understand, I am doing exactly what the doctor asks me, Im going to crack down harder tomorrow, but as far as I can tell I would swear that I was doing it right????:think Ive been crying for about a week in realization that Im not losing weight and I havent lost a pound since October, and now my bandiversary is coming up and I have only lost like 30 lbs, which is a lot I know, but its not enough ya know???? And my sister is just a downer about everything because she admires ppl who drop weight fast, and I know she doesnt know any better (shes not the brightest in the world, but she makes it alright) and my mom thinks I am making it up when I cant eat certain foods and have to go throw my food up if it gets stuck because she cooked something that I cant eat. I have first bite syndrome so I drink something warm b4 meals to open up the band, which works well as long as I drink it well enough in advance and dont eat stuff Im not supposed to. I really hate that I am having to have one of these entries, but I really need some support. I may start keeping an online eating journal so that I will have to post and will have to do right so I can post and not be embarassed. I had my blood tested and everything came back normal as usual. I just really need to LOSE WEIGHT, Im 18 it should be falling off. I dont eat white bread, rice, oatmeal, or anyhting that is on my list (I understand that some of your lists allow different things, but for my surgeons purposes I try to avoid what he says to so that if its not working in a few months I will have something to show him that he cant disprove). Im not eating snacks (Im only supposed to have 3 meals a day, and 3 meals only.) Im working on the water situation now Im up to about 3 glass which is about half of what I should be drinking, but its an improvement from none. I have 3 of the longest weeks in my life left with my parents before I move and I dont want to fight with them anymore. Mom swears Im lying and making up problems, and Im not, I wont even tell her anything is wrong with me anymore. She thinks that because I have the surgery then I dont get hungry allllll day, but I get hungry when its time to eat (breakfast, lunch, and supper) And Im finally eating the right portions, but its been a month of this and I still havent lost a pound!!!!!!! Nor a size, or anyhting, in fact I feel bigger than I ever did before. I guess Im more aware of it. Im afraid if this isnt fixed then Im going to dive into depression again and I dont want that, Mom threw away my anti-depressants she said that she didnt think I needed them anymore, or ever, that they are a bunch of crap and have no affect. When I know I need them to function, tonot her the negativity in my head.. Ill tell yall right now August 17 will NEVER come soon enough!! Ill miss em' but I wont miss the nagging and (pardon me) bitchin that I have to take from my mother, she needs antidepressants and I need them also, and until then we will never get along. P.S. my skinny friend that has never worried about her weight EVER gained 10lbs (taking her from 107 to 117) during the pregnancy that she is trying to lose and all she does is call herself a fatass now, and she never did that before so now I cant hardly stand to be around it....I mean I weigh twice as much as she did while she was pregnant!!!!! Id give anything to be that healthy. Im supposed to weigh about 115 after I lose ALLLLLL of my weight, and at 210 (on a good day) I dont see that happening, and life's just not worth living when you spend and whole year's worth of tuition on a surgery and its not working for you. I want to be healthy, I dont care about how I look anymore, I just want to be healthy. Im tired of spending weekends alone because I dont get asked out on dates by anyone that someone in their sane mind would go with (and that is seldom). Even people with mental and physical handicaps have made fun of me when I would NEVER have said one negative thing about them! Im just on a pity party tonight, its been a bad day with my sister claiming herself to be fat when she could go on trimspa for a damn month and lose every pound and look like a super model. I dont even like junk food. I like tofu and seafood (just not catfish) and grilled beef and venison and stuff and Mom doesnt like it so she doesnt cook it to help me out and fries EVERYTHING and claims shes on a diet! And she has no idea what healthy is.......... I dont know, kudos to anyone who reads this all the way through I appreciate your support in just reading it.........:faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Wow, how come you people get to eat snacks???? I was told 3 meals a day and thats it, drink water in between...........And I have HELL trying to stay under 1000 cals a day! I just dont get it, Im not losing any weight either!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MYSPACE!!!! Im www.myspace.com/jodiewarner06 Its set to private tho for security reasons, so you can request to add me if you wish.....

hmmmmmmmm........... Johnny Depp (his eeriness is SEXXXY) Im totally addicted to him for some reason, and hes not like the guys I usually go for.................................................... My favorite thing in the whole world is listening to hispanics talk about how bog my but is while walking behind me and then....................BAM! Turn around and starting speaking Spanish to them!!!! ITS THE BEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!LOL!!!!! I love the shock in their eyes, and then the profuse apologizing (in English) afterwards....................HAHA! Brings joy to my loooooooooooooooooooooong days

Wow, if you could bottle that I could just like drink it and make my tummy look like that I would be the happiest woman on earth lol! Looks great, Im trying to get mine to look like that

Ok so today I logged on just to see what was going on and found this option which I think is really great since I cant blog on Xanga or Myspace about my weight loss basically because I dont want anyone knowing my current weight ya know? IT just brings on heartache.......................So anyway this is definately more of a test run. I seem to have trouble losing weight, although I am having a hard time eating my food during my meals, and I am not snacking, trust me, we dont have groceries lol! Anyway I wanted to see what this was all about..............................:rolleyes :mad: :kiss2:

No not really, Im still wearing a 36C, where as I was in a 36B, but I think that taking the vitamins and eating correctly really surged my hormones so that I would fill out correctly. I think the shape of the cup really has a lot to do with the sizing also, MOST of the DD and DDD bras have a fuller coverage (longer cups that continue and then fade into the straps) so that may be whats going on there, I REALLY like to watch the OPRAH episode where she does the bra sizing, I suggest buying bras from Fredricks or Victoria's Secret or some other lingerie store (thats all we have here) and trying to stick to buying them from only the stores your sized at. I like Victoria's Secret the best though because they have SOOOOOOOOO many different types of bras, plus SUPER sales lol!

Hi guys Im 18, I was banded at 17! Its great, but I have problems, my surgeon says I should be losing weight a lot quicker than I am, that its supposed to fall off of teens, so I would like to see more young people on this who are banded so that we can discuss what we are doing and arent and compare what is going on between us so that we can all get on the right paths and share stories so that we can all get healthy while we are young and feel that there are others our ages out there experiencing the same things! This is great!

Well I was down down for just a few days like 4 I think, but the day after my surgery I walked from the parking lot into Hobby Lobby and picked out fabric and walked back out, I was tired no doubt but I lived. I didnt do a lot of sleeping either I really just sat on my couch for those days. I had to walk around with a pillow to support my abdoman for a few days like maybe a whole week but no more than that. I still went to school and college with no problems except the clothes kinda bothered my incision sites. I still functioned pretty well so with some help you should be doing pretty well after about a week, although no heavy lifting for a while

Hi, Although this is barely relevant....................The strangest thing has happened to my boobs since I had this surgery.............................................................................IVE GAINED A CUP SIZE!!!!!!! I went from a B to a C!!!!!! This was so strange to me....................BUT I LIKE IT!LOL

Flour Totillas, Cokes, White Bread, Rice, White Poultry, Left-Over anything, OH AND SWEETS! (thats the hardest one, They go down but with a HEAVY price)

Thanks guys, a little hot coffee or soup before a meal is just the thing! I can eat now without having to umm well lets not go there....although I had a horrible incident last week with a beef patty from Sonic driving from a town about an hour from my town, lets say the outcome was not pretty nor lady-like lol...

thanks guys, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome about a year and a half ago, but it hasnt shown back up until now its been gone for about 9 months. LOL! For all of you.................IM NOT PREGNANT!!!!!ITS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, IM ONLY 18 YA KNOW! IM NOT ACTIVE, I HAVE 5 YEARS OF COLLEGE LEFT FOR GOD'S SAKE! LOL!!!! Anyways, the iron problem sounds likely, I have a friend that has an iron deficiancy so I know that it is very possible. I take 3 multivitamins a day, and eat 3 full meals per day with protein and veggies. When I move off to Corpus I will be able to probably eat more fruit since I will buy it for myself, but mom doesnt buy the fruit that I eat (like apples, oranges, peaches, pears, and that stuff) She wants to buy stuff I dont eat for some reason lol.

I know that im not pregnant lol unless im like the Virgin Mary.....................................I just want something done, I wanna know whats wrong and I want it fixed.......................I had bloodwork done a little over a year ago at an internalist's office and everything was normal, but I still dont feel right so now Im scared that they are basically going to call me a hypochindriac or something because I feel like something is wrong........................I just need something to pop up (something simple, that I can live with or can be fixed) so that I can be healthy. *Plus there isnt a guy in this small town that I would consider the "deed" with nor them me lol! We are all like family(mostly literally)

Some weird things are happening lately...................Im doing my band PERFECT! No soda, no fat, no sugar, under 1000 cals a day and the doctor says the weight FALLS off teenagers. I had to go get a fill last week because I was constantly HUNGRY! But sometimes you cant force food down my throat, Im not losing weight, I might loose some now that I have had a fill, but none yet. Im constantly tired and I feel like I am still eating a pretty good amount of food at a sitting. I just feel SOOOOOOOOO tired ALLLLL the time and I AM NOT DEPRESSED, like I couldnt be feeling happier for once I always look on the positive side of everything. Im bruising from the littlest bumps and scarring from the smallest scrapes. Im getting headaches and some fevers and muscle aches and strains. I get the munchies really REALLY bad at night and dont feel like eating at all during the day. My spine hurts (literally my spine) Im light-headed a lot and just sometimes dont feel well, although there is nothing wrong with me. Its almost like being drunk, and this isnt good for me having to drive everyday. I had a fill a week and a half ago and the wound from that still hasnt healed (he hit a blood vessel, which is common and painless just looks bad) and my recent Nose Piercing isnt healing quickly either (it bled the other day, and its not infected.) Yall Im seriously thinking about going and getting some blood work done, I guess I need to before I go to college anyway, but Im so afraid that nothing will be wrong, but I just have a gut feeling that something is wrong in my body no matter how small it may be, somethings just not right...... *edit* Not to mention these mood swings where every little thing in the world can bother the piss outta me, and then I can care less to break something, its sooooooooo odd. I get so mad about the littlest things anymore and I am usually super easy going. Frankly I cant stand to be around peoples' kids anymore and I just hate being around ignorant people now, where as I used to be just like whatever, believe what you want, I dont care, NOW all I wanna do is argue! Ive gotten plain out mean people! For some odd reason I am MEAN to people!!!!! Yall pray for my Mom and Dad because they catch the most of it (and NO I dont think it is at all connected to any certain time of the month! Its a constant thing!)

#1 they cant unfill me without completely unfilling me, and I can eat plenty, trust me I just went to get a fill put in my band last week because I was STARVING all the time!!! Like looking for food constantly. I eat probably TOO much still after the food gets hung

Ok guys, I have a problem that I would like to ask about............... Whenever I start eating my food hangs up no matter how slow or much I chew it, it hangs up then I have to run to the bathroom and either burp, let it pass, or worst of all throw it up. After this I can eat pretty well without any more problems. Ive tried drinking more to open up my band before I eat but it doesnt seem to work at all. This is sooooo embarassing and rumors are beginning to circulate about me that I dont like. I dont really care that much since I am moving in a little over a month, but its the fact of it all.

I weigh 204lbs but i dunno how to post pics so maybe Ill make anothe myspace one day, and give yall the url

ACTUALLY!!..........Im kinda interested in this guy and Im gonna go out with him this weekend. Hes super hot! lol! TALL! Blond hair Blue eyes, tan..........the works...............THE BEST PART! HIS COUSIN HAS HAD LAP-BAND!!!! SO HE KNOWS ABOUT IT, NOT TO MENTION THAT HES TOTAL SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT IM OVERWEIGHT! Sorry, I got excited! lol! Hes a blast and fun to talk to. I spoke with him Tuesday night until midnight just about nothings, just having a conversation......................................Hes pretty awesome, Im waiting on some signs to see if he likes me too....Either way I can still have some fun before I move

I havent read anything about this girl having Lap-Band surgery

Hey guys, I live like 30 minutes from Vidor and had NO CLUE! Not to mention My sister lives there, and my mom works there sometimes. I havent heard one thing about this.....hmmmmmmmmmm strange?

Dr. Spiegel is not refusing a patient, he is refusing their insurance........PLUS insurance companies ARE EXTREMELY hard to work with when your a doctor, especially UHC. They really screwed me over and I paid CASH money for the surgery, and its worth EVERY PENNY

UHC DID NOT cover my surgery with Dr. Spiegel, So we paid cash with a loan from the bank and I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad we did! I love Dr. Spiegel, I need to go there next week as a matter of fact..........but anyways, I love it there and Im glad I used him even if it did cost a lot. The results you will see are PRICELESS, I promise.

Well..........Yo hablo espanol! and my best friend speaks......get ready for this guys and gals................................... English German Svaish (however you spell it) Dutch Italian Spanish And he's trying to pick of French............He can communicate well in all these languages. But he only speaks Italian non-fluently (yet)
