U know even when i am sitting at my desk and hasent put anything in my mouth... my stomach is talking to everyone around me.... it is loud like damn..... im hungry do i have to make other people give u food or what.... it is annoying...

Well welcome. ONe thing i can say is in being honest. I would have hoped that the weight would come off faster. being told 1 to 2 lbs a week.. yr like yeah ok.. but it really is 1 to 2 lbs a week... it is not the magic bullet by no means..... it is a work in progress. Congrats on your band date...

Wow... things like that makes me laugh... because yes u do have people of darker skin that are lazy azzes and other latino's that will work their azzes off to make money to take care of their family's ... and other class of people that are redicilious also... but calling people slaves...wow... violence is not the key but she deserved a mouth shot for that one....lol....

Wow... u know racist is a strong word... I think Bob is trying to fit in... he truly sounds like a dumb azz.... Some people don't hang around people other than what their race is, and it is truly sad.... I have friends from all around the world....and when we see people like bob trying to fit in we say just that.. stop tryin to hard to make friends yr too damn old for that... just be u... and it sounds like he dosent know who he really is.... in my opinion...

Hiccups are the thing for me also.... They started after my 2nd fill... but it is strange that when it was about time for me to get another fill it seemed like the fill that i had gotten 3-weeks earlier had just started to kick in.... but the hiccups are the indicator for me...

Well congrats on being banded... but u have to sip on Soup, try to drink your protien drink, and water...or u will be in the hospital dehyrated......

northwest nance... u know we got our band on the same day.. and i have 6cc's in my band now and i go this thursday for another fill and i was told that with another cc or so i should be at my sweet spot... i can't wait... can u tell me about how much does it take to fill u up at a sitting now?

I would call because they have to have someone that is seeing his patients... Your health is more important so u don't want to ignore things like that...

u know i was going to post something about this today.... I have had 2-fills and my first fill came with my band. Now i do have a restriction, but this is truly a mind over matter thing... and u have to workout... My elliptical trainer broke and i am so upset that it did because i can't workout like i want to. I have been stuck for the past month or so. I know there is more i can do at home to get myself back in order and i will do just that but at this point i have 6cc's in a 10cc band and i hope that by the time i get my next fill i will only be able to eat a bite her and a bite there so i can start to loose weight like i want to... i know it might now be healthy but damn... i never imagined it would be this slow... I know the health risk with the weight coming off too fast with gallstones and stuff but this is crazy... just hold in there because i am going to do the same and just start to make better food choices and get some sort of excercise in and or start going back to the gym at least 3-days out of the week.... something has to give.... keep yr head up.. we are all in this together....

ok u are my hero...... i would love for u to mentor me.... I need motivation here. It has almost been 3-months since i have been banded and I have lost poss. about 20lbs since banding and tons of inches not sure how many.... my name is Katrina... and i'm sure u have explained in prev. post how u did it so i'm going to read before i ask u any questions...

Wow... That is so cool.... i'm telln u i am going to get me one... i was reading on it and omg... is all i can say.... that is a fantastic tool and like u said it takes the guess work out of it all...wow...

that is fantastic... make sure u keep up with your fluid intake and continue to walk around becaue those gas strips didn't work for me...

I just noticed that the name of the room was girlfriends women of color... wow... normally when i post to threads i just go under new post... i had no idea.... holla..... lol.. I hope everyone is doing just fine and u all can check out my blog if u would like to know more about me.... :thumbup:

Nance... i just found a site where i could get $100 bucks off of the bodybugg... and u know what.. what i said before is an excuse... if i really want to do it and know what i am doing the price is not an option.. and actually i am going to save up for a month so i can buy it for myself.... thanks.. for sharring that info.... excuses = a fat azz....lol...

That is great.. I looked into the bodybugg.. and the price is :wink2:.... wow...

:thumbup:Lexi i was going to send u a P.M. about the same thing.. girl u look good... thats what i'm talking about..... Whatttt.....

U know when they say that it is mind over matter it is and it is truly hard... u know when i was a kid i was programmed to clean my plate and now that i have been banded i still have that mindset and it is so hard to phathom hey dummy u are full stop eating... just because 95% of my food is left i look at it like something is wrong... but its not. It is a struggle everyday and i pray that this will get easier as the days progress...

Wow i wish my eating was this good..... uhh i would try adding about 200-more calories for about 3 to 4 days then take it back down for 3 to 4 and repeat... it sounds like your body is use to getting the same thing and u are in a platu.... like for example eate some nuts... cashews or roasted peanuts or something, something that will give u the good fats and see what happends from there and let me know if this works....

now not to be graffic or anything but a friend of mine that had the bypass done told me to take some milk of mag. and that should help and OMG..lol did it...lol... i think between friday and monday i lost aboug 8lbs...lol.. no kidding.... what exactly are u eating on a daily basis...

u are so welcome.. I have found out that about 75% of people dont excercise right away... but i am not the average person....lol... I want this crap off so i commend u on doing what u gotta do....

I waited about 3-weeks before i started working out again. I started on the elliptical trainer about 30-minutes 4-days a week because i could feel my port and it was still really sore at that point... My Dr. told me to wait a few months to start ab excercises and i am going to start them tomorrow.. but i would say yes just start out with 20-30-minutes.... and u should be fine.. but u know when u workout it takes u longer to loose weight because your fat is turning into muscle and we all know muscle weighs more... but eventually the weight will start to drop off...

LMAO.... u know i was thinking the same thing before i was banded but they tell u no lotion, oil, perfume, nail polish, make up, contacts, rings, earrings, neck chains, so like proactive that would be ok because i wear that.. and I wore lipgloss.... now I am a natural beauty....lol... and when i woke up got dressed and was ready to go home they were like u look like u just came from the spa.... u know i was like holla....... lol... I wore my shades and it was a wrap. Now of course i had my hair done... but when u get out of there in all of that freekin pain the last thing u are going to be thinking about is lipstick....lol.. just kidding about all of that pain part...lol....

lol.. i only read the main post, but im sure others have said what i will say... or prehaps not... u will have day's like that. I will tell u as long as u didn't eat a pound or 1/2 pound of m&m u are fine. Drink some milk of magnesia and it will push everything out of u. some days u will have cravings and what i do is to get chocolate kisses and eat a few. That normally does it for me. but i am a huge snacker, chips and crap and it is definately mind over matter.. something that i am struggling with right now. The band will allow u to eat that crap so u just have to be strong and know that the prize is u loosing weight and getting to your goal..... I have been banded for a little over 2mths and my brain is thinking 6 or so.. and i have to remind myself that I am doing damn good for being 2 1/2 mths out.... U can do it... just take one day at a time...

How many cc's did u have in your band and how many cc's can your band hold... and thanks for the info....

u know my fills are free for life....... they were included in the cost of everything...
