So i had my fill, no big thing. haven't felt ANY restriction yet.... bummer. i have 3cc's in my 10cc band. sucky........................

I am still at 185.5 so my weight loss has stalled. I get my first fill tommorow so I will let you know how it goes! Hopefully it will jump start my weight loss again! I am very excited about getting a fill, I have heard it takes like 4-5 fills to find your "sweet spot" so here I go! Round 1 ding ding!

185.5 AW YA!

185.5 AW YA!

So my fear about having too much sodium, not enough fiber and lack of water was right! It was holding all this weight on me. After lowering my sodium consumption to about <1000mgs a day, getting about 25g fiber in and about 10 glasses of water... the weight finally came off! I weighed in at 186.5 this morning! Yaaaa.... I was stuck for about a week wondering what I was doing wrong! So take my advice, watch your SODIUM it is the devil!

I think I may have figured out what my problem has been! I have been eating at 850-900 calories a day, working out on the elliptical trainer for at least 20 - 30 minutes a day.... yaaadddaaa... well I was stuck at 190 lbs - right? Well, I started looking at my nutritional information on www.thedailyplate.com and my sodium consumption was through the roof! I mean am not supposed to go over like 2200mg and I was like at oh 4000 something! Ya, it seems I am eating all the wrong foods: ham, pickles, lunch meat, cheese, saleted nuts, olives all things with seriously high in sodium. In addtion to that I was not meeting my water requirement or taking in nearly enough fiber! HELLO! I was sabtoging myself! So I am taking it easy on the sodium, yesterday it was only 700mg and getting in all my water and fiber so we will have to see where next weeks weigh in takes me! Toodles P.S. I might as well as had a salt lick! Geez I am special!

Thanks ajoneen! I needed that.

Ok. Here it goes let me explain my dilemia. I stuck at 190 lbs. I mean stuck. And it is really pissing me off. I have a body bugg, I track all my food to a tee and exsercise daily. I always have a deficet of at least 1300 and I did not lose a pound this week in really bothers me. I have yet to have a fill but it scares me that I am only eating like 850 calories a day, exerscing for at least 30 minutes of the elliptical trainer and I still don't see a loss. Very frustrating.

Doesn't it look like I lost the 24 lbs out of my face alone? Banded: Dec. 14th by Dr. Feng - San Mateo, CA

:faint:Went to my 3 week post op appointment yesterday. Boy was it pointless. I drove an hour and a half to get there and basically all he did was chew me out about how little weight I dropped. I consider 10 lbs in 3 weeks a good thing but he didn't. He said, "Well it looks like you strayed off the liquid diet..." I said, "yes - i was starving"... Apperantly that wasn't a good enough answer. Then he told me I probably made my band slip... He bascially scared the crap out of me and made me feel so defeated when I left. So, here I am so scared even to eat 1/4 cup of cottage cheese in fear of screwing up my band! HELP!
