slimmy120

ep seem satisfied with these foods so will keep eating them.

I was told Mercy hospital has a support group, my doctor never told me to go to nutritionist or anything. Anyone been what type of things did they tell you to do? food wise excercise,vitamins,etc????I went to a dietician and she was telling me to eat bread and all things we not really suppose to eat so no damb help at all, and she had me on massive calories, said you dont need any vitamins.

When I get stressed,it is during my lunch break i tend to tighten up and heartburn, and then puckie, does not happen very often anymore, but notice it is only when stressed it happens.

I have had 4 fills, this morning ate museli, half ham and cheese roll, then other half of ham and cheese white roll, half bannana large, chicken catchitorre and mashed potatoes large childs serve,and chicken drumbstick, and 2 flat white coffees -- no problems ate all that today. Had lap band 18 sep 2007.lost 62lbs so far , my starting weight was 204lbs, so nop dont think enough restriction and no fill till 28th may 2008 again,shivers,got to control myself.

I eat potatoes,peas,corn,beans,as my main vege, and banannas and prunes as my main fruit, my friend said this will make my weightloss slow as too starchy?????They fill me up and i have a cup to cup and half.

I was complaining about putting on 1lb this week, but have lost 62,now 61 since 18thsep2007.did no excercise this week, go on my 30 to 40min daily -well sort of daily walks, and i think diarise the calories makes a difference again. all the best to all keep on tracking those cals i think, and get those little walks in somehow, hard as been raining alot lately and gets dark before i get home.

hee hee the tumor one sounds funny. was thinking scar tissue from hernia op??

After reading your comments realise 1lb not that much weight, was eating between 1000 to 1200, but 3 days this week 900 and the rest between 1200 to 1400. i didnt do any walking this week as heavy rain, normally walk 30 to 45 min a day. no excuse i should have used my treadmill inside. I have 32 -34 pounds to get to goal.Will keep at it not going to be a gonna, am going to be a doer.

Thought i was doing well 62lbs since 18sep 2007 lap band day, and then this week i put on a kilo, havent done much walking or movement, but had heaps less calories.shiver inspirate me ,help.

Took my tablets this morning with food, and tiny drink of water then no burning.

What is the best thing to say to a new partner who you dont want to know you had the lap band as yet when he sees abump and it stands up at times???(thats the lap band port by the way).

Should i get a proper sports bra? shall i go and get fitted for one or just go to kmart or one of the cheap stores?

I notice if i take any tablets or vitamins without eating first, i have burning in my throat, top of stomache,does anyone else have this problem?do you have a sip of water the tablets then food??

You have basically lost half of what i lost, and that was just in 1 month, i have lost 60lbs since 18 sep 2007,had 4 fills so far.

I was just reading another post where someone went from a size 28 to a size 14 and lost 70lbs in 6 months to get to that range. i lost 60lb and gone from 22/20 to size 14/12. didnt think 10lbs would make so much difference, but i know sometimes dont seem to lose much on scale yet measurements do!

Thank you for your comment. And boy oh boy you have done excellent with your weightloss to, guess will live with the eyes and put concealer on,thanx.

I have lost 60lb, notice i am puffy under eyes now,is this lose skin??? I am taking vitamins every day, and had test for iron all okay? any one else have this problem. i am making certain drink 2 litres of water per day. but have started having one latte skim every day, maybe its the milk doing it?? dark circles under there too.

I have had 4 fills so far, my doctor never said anything about liquids only for the first 3 days, i went out the night of my first fill, no problems -- out as dinner with friends, but was careful what ate.

I had the same burning sensation, if i ever have a problem again I take zantac, but havent had the problem in ages -- seems to be spicey and acid food sets it off.

I loved reading all your reasons, an remain inspirational with me, thanx

I am certain if you had eaten your cup cake slow would have been ok, now i eat slowly i basically can eat anything.

Have a glass of water, put on your walking shoes does not have to be long, just a 10 /fifteen minute walk, check out everyones homes gardens etc. Give you ideas for your house.

I started 102kg and size 22, had lost 15 kilos over two years before myself to get down to 102. I was size 22 when started lap band, yep i too would like to get to 60 kilos am 5 ft 4.
