what kind of repairs did you have done???!!!! are you okay?

Hey you!

hop all is well

I saw your post regarding surgeons in cali you can also call cedars sinai at 310-423-8350 not sure what insurance you have but i have blue cross and i have been banded over 2 years now...good luck!!!!

I have bad knees so no jogging for me lol but i guess i could walk 3 miles? ? im thinkin of doin one hour a day of exercise

how often do you exercise? how many days a week and for how long?

damn im retarded lol . i will def.check into that diet, i guess what makes me mad is i eat no fast food, no bread,rice,pasta,potato, no chips, once in a blue moon i eat a piece of dark chocolate, so i dont understand why the weight will no longer come off, we are goin on almost 5 months with ZERO weight loss! i have 3o more to go! just dont know what im doing wrong! im sooo glad for you though it seems to really be working for you!

i dont how my new doctors are yet lol i havent gone as of yet,but i switched everything over already, wish me luck! lol . when your dieting what exactly do you do? maybe you can help me figure out if im doin something wrong lol

hey girlie!!!! hell naw i havent got skinny! lol i actually got sick of dr khalili not being able to tell me why i wasnt losing any weight ,so i switched to providence saint josephs hopefully they will be more helpful , how you been?

Are you going to be at the meeting on the 16th? Because i am going

sorry to hear that, how much did you lose altogether? my weight loss has sucked i lost 53 pounds total i now weigh 187 and for 6 months can not lose one friggin pound! i have 5.3 cc's in my band and the last time he tried to put a tiny fil in i couldnt drink water so he took it back out and told me i will have to use willpower because for some reason even a small fill makes me wayy to tight,so im kinda screwed lol i dont even go there anymore because it seems as though there is nothing else they can do for me. what time on Tuesdays? maybe i should try goin

damn i just checked out your pictures, you go girl!!!! dang how much have you lost now?

hey you! HAPPY NEW YEAR! im doin kool, just hanging in there lol, whats been up with you?

well thank you very much for your input,im always looking for advise! its funny that you say up your workout, because i started doin that about 2 weeks ago and now i have lost 3 pounds! so you are on point with your advise! when did you get banded?

hey you!!!! so are you super skinny yet?

I have no idea, i was told i had nothing in my band when they installed it lol

Well im glad your getting your energy back! I went for my fill dound out i gainded a pound, he tried to give me a very small fill but i could not swallow water,so he took the small fill out,and told me i will just have to use will power ugh! Im a little discouraged,not sure if im going back there,if they cant put any fill in then whats the point?! I have a 10 cc band that has 5.3 cc's in it when they tried to put it to 5.5 i couldnt swallow water,not real sure what to do.but i am still hittin the gym and tryin to stay at 1000 calories a day. Do you feel like you have good restriction?

hey you! how goes it?

wow! you have lost soooo much weight! i was banded 6-26-08 and have gone from 240 to 189 but for the past few months it will not drop! my doctors are tellin me i might not lose much more!!?? WTF! just wondering any tips you might have as far as what your doing to lose all your weight???? any advise would be really appreciated!

yeah i do some weights, i would say light weights not heavy LOL . I am going to try to change up my work outs. when i see the dietician on the 11th i will have her log on to livestrong.com thats where i track all my calories and exercise ,so she can see exactly what i am doing LOL

Girl i been at a plateau for months now!!! not one single pound lost! no i havent lost anything in about 3 months! i just cant seem to make it budge at all,thats why im upping the exercise even more! somethin has to give im gettin fed up LOL

Im so glad all went well with Dr.K .. you are sooo lucky to not be feeling hungry! wish i could say the same. i am going to see him on the 11th of this month and the dietician the same day,i guess i will be there all afternoon lol , if you feel restriction then i would wait on the fill. no need to get to tight,beacuse believe me its not fun to be to tight it really sucks!!!! Im really happy for you, it seems like its really working for you!!!!! i have been goin to the gym more often, almost everyday,im hpoing that it will kick the weight loss in, not sure what else to do at this point LOL so how much did you lose so far total?

kool that you are seeing him today.let me know how it goes! how many more weeks on liquid ? one? or 2?

I soooo love pumpkin pie! i even tried a few bites and damn it! it got stuck and had to come back out lol UGH! my band was tight the past few days not sure why , i barely ate for thanksgiving nothing would go down at all !

yeah your right they should have a plan "C" that is kinda odd.did they say why they had to reschedule you? so have you lost any weight yet? it might still be to soon ,im glad your able to drink, what kind of protein shakes are you drinking?

wow they arent going down? how are you dealing wit hthe head hunger part? Ive been doin all the lean meat and veggies and the gym! im seeing Dr.khalili on 12-11-09 and the dietician the same day. I also have an appt with an endocrinologist ,my thyroid was acting up but then got better,but they still want me to see a specialist, not sure why im not losing weight, i wonder if hormones could be the problem! who da hel knows lol im willing to try anything! are you back at work yet???? glad your doin okay!
