I usually have a bolied egg in the morning, mid morning snack is lean sliced ham with light laughing cow cheese or turkey chicken pepperoni luch usualy is a shrimp salad, and dinner is a protien, salad and veggies, and i always eat my protien first.

Well since I have no weight loss for 3 months, I am going to change things up, yet again, I am going to try liquids with only one meal a day, what does everyone think, or has anyone tried that? my liquid will be a atkins protien drink, and my meal will be protien and veggies.

It is truly fustrating, I thought i would at least lose 8-10 pounds a month, now I'd be happy with 1! nothing just fricking stinks, I had such high hopes when I had this done, now its come crashing down:thumbs_down: its just not right, I am afraid to go for a fill, I am afraid what my doctor will say, I am sure he will say its my fault, he is very hard to talk too, all he keeps saying is 1/2 teacup 3 times a day! Ya well its not working 1/2 teacup or not!!!

Well it has been 3 months and I have not dropped a pound, I have increased my calorie intake, I have decreased, I walk everyday I workout I work, I just don't know anymore!! I have tried everything to lose, and nothing, what the?? I even tried really low carb, nothing! yes I have lost inches, but that stopped to nothing in over 2 months, anyone out there havng same prob?:biggrin:

thats great! enjoy, I need to try that with my chicken, as thats the one I have problems with

That is so awesome, I have been there, I now have gone through my wardrobe twice and given away some old clothes that are way to big, oh what a feeling!! and I've had to hem a few things too, no better feeling then that! One thing I did do that I had to laugh at myself, I went out to get a new bra, thought oh boy I will be down maybe a size or two, but no..........same size, reason being I was lets say a (little!) overstuffed in my old ones, thought there was just noway I am going to go into and bigger size so I kept on squeezing, needless to say old bra was pretty stretched out!! lol! does'nt resemble anything like my new one lol!

Hey Kate thanks, what you said made sense, forsure I am not getting enough calories, and not the right ones, (right now I am at 219 from 261) I went pack on my nutriton tracker, and found I was barely getting my protien in maybe 20 - 30 a day if that, so today Im switching things up, I am going to shoot for at least 60 protien a day and up my calorie intake, and forsure I am in a routine, thanks everyone for your daily menus, it was very helpful as I seemed to have forgot how to eat right (starving myself) I am back on track today! Now I am at myself for wasting time!! arrggg!

Thanks Cher, I decied I would bump up my calories this morning, I am going to aim for 1200 I am going to give that a try for a week and see if it puts me back into some weight loss, this morning I had a lil something something before my walk and work out, after I got to work and got started about my day I had some breakfast, followed by a nice ceasar prawn salad with walnuts and red onion for lunch, and a chicken stir fry for dinner, oh had a jello snack too, in just this one day I felt the differnce with eating twice in the morning, I am stuffed! I also went through my closet today and got rid of a box full of clothes that are now to big! YA! I'll keep you updated on my progress, thanks again Val.

Cher, I was banded end of Jan, all went well and I am down 41 pounds, but I have not moved for almost 2 months, inches 45.5! so that is something, but man that scale is not a budgin! I do exercise 5 days a week, this includes the curve cicuite and walking daily, I have anywhere from 750 - 1000 calories per day, should I be eating more? I do believe tho from the posts I have read that I need more protien, can you give me an idea of what your menue is like on any given day, thanks, Val

Hey Kate, thanks, its hard when you don't see the pounds move , I'm so geared to the scale , like its a god (evil god) lol ! I had hoped I would lose 8 pounds a month but..... nothing this month at all, although I did drop 3 but it came back ahhhh! I'm thinking maybe with the walking and exercise I need more calories, I don't know! lol I mean is this band not about eating less? I hear people say you eat to little you go into starvation mode, but.........if you are full and satisfied you are to stop, I mean at some point the starvation mode has to stop no? anyway I don't know, now Iam just blabbering.

Wow your calorie intake does not seem much more than mine, and looks like I have more food, I figured your to be around 800 for the day give or take a few calories since I don't know what type of pudding you had or how much soup, but maybe I should up it a bit, god seems to me I am still fixed on the calories!

I get up at 5:00am I am at curves buy 6:15 before I go I have a bannana, around 10:00am I have some hommus with zuchinni and mushrooms, at about 3:00pm I have a chicken salad or shrimp salad and a piece of bread (65 cal) I do have a jello pudding for a snack (60cal) and light whippo, and sometimes I sneak in a jellow with whippo the jiggly kind (5cal) I also sometime during the day for a snack will grab a piece of ham or a beef slice. I have not been lossing say for good month and a half but have in inches, and my clothes are definetly bagger, I actually down another pant size, but I am wondering if i am getting enough protien, what is everyone esle doing? Also I know we are suppose to only eat 3 times a day, but I need those snacks, is that ok you think? its a long day for me!

Hey thanks for all the replies, and hope to see you all at the get together in January! Have a Merry Christmas all!

Hey anyone out in Vancouver, I am going in on the first of Feb, yahoo!! So just wondering if anyone from around here, be nice to hear from you, Val.
