china

well its another new month and we are still moving toward the finish line. so i want to congradulate everyone for the lbs lost. i hope everyone continues to keep us all updated and we get more people to come join in. my goal for this month will be 6lbs. i went today and i lost 6lbs so the fill i got 2wks ago was much needed and it feels good to see the scale moving again.

hey everyone where is everyone these days. well i thought i would update everyone i went to see my reg. dr today and according to there scale i have lost 6lbs so i feel happy about that. so i guess the fill was needed and doing its thing. now i gotta do my part.

hey teri you look great keep up the good work

hey everyone hows it going. im so glad everyone is back. laurel how was the park. and did you end up getting the fill today and if so how did it go. i totally understand you being scared about slippage. dicuss it with our dr and see what the answer is. i totally understand about the being busy. i have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. when every you find time.:thumbup: rose im glad to hear you have gotten back on schedual. i returned to the gym yesterday it was cool. i want you to make time for your self every day rose just so you dont become over whalmed. even if its 10. mins. and yes honey i will pray for your angel and your family. i think i would like to start swimming as well i hear its very good for you and on your joints. do you like it. i hope you get your fill or at least make the appointment. well everyone keep me posted on how and what everyone is doing. me im now able to eat and im happy about that. but, im taking it slow. im eating about 805-1080 calories a day. that is so weird. my dr said im not eating enough. im working on trying to get up to 1200.

ya i like yogurt w/nuts in it. im going to start having more dense food and see how that works.

hey jeff well i went and none was taken out as i eat 1/2 of a chix breast and some potatoes and it went down fine. so i was told if i have any (pb) to come back. and i feel happy with that. so im watching it closely. but, the dr did tell me that some times it takes up to 2wks for it to get loose. i think we have spoke before but, lost contact with each other. hope we chat more often.

thanks for responding restless monkey, well here is an update on me i got a fill last wednesday and im feeling very tight. i have restriction alot and thought about going to get some removed but, thougth i can hang in there. i have been eating Soup, yogurt,s/f pudding, Water, any thing soft really. so im ok with that. i started going to over eaters ann. and i like it. and i have been writing down what im eating and that is really helping me be accountable for what im eating. i seem to be eating like 1050 calories or less a day. im slowly getting back into my workout. over all im glad i got the fill. i know im not at my sweet spot as i cant eat much only soft as i said. but, was told it will get loser in about a wk or two.

hi laurel and rose and everyone else, laurel im glad to hear your enjoying your time off as you need it. how are you doing these days. me i got the fill and i feel tight but, it is getting better. im trying to get use to having restriction. and i must say i has sat me down. but, i like it. i have basically been drinking alot of water and soup and yogurt as that is all that will stay down. and im not pushing it. i thought about going to get some taken out but i can handle it. rose baby i know how you feel hang in there. i want you to do some thing for me everyone but really you rose i want you to think about why you got the band what was going on in your life. and right it down and put it on paper and hang it on the fridge. and carry one with you also. and every time you go to eat what you are not supose to read this hell write down what and how you are feeling. i have been doing this and it is helping. but me writing down every thing im eating is really helping. you will be suprised what you are eating a day. there is alot going on in your life right now but you have to find inner strength baby as your family is gonna need it. maybe talk with your dr and he can give you some nerve pills. and ibtrouble tell me what is your name. dont beat your self up so. i know how you feel as i feel the same way. but, please remember it did not take a short time to put it on i wont take a short time to get it off. if you dont remember any thing remember this. this is a track meet this is a merathon. the turtle always wins:thumbup:. maybe try setting smaller goals and you will be able to see those rather than trying to vision a big one. and believe me we will all get there. im praying for all of us. i love you guys hang in there we will get through the storm.

hi all im china i have been lerking around here i do come here some times. well here is my problem i got bandie in 12/08 and lost great before and some afterwards. i fell off the wagon when i felt i wasnt lossing as much as my mind thought i should be lossing. i think i gave you. started eating sweets some hell more than i should. droped my excerise workout from 5days a wk to 2-3. now i got a fill and just trying to get back on track. and for the first time im scared that i cant. its been 2 days and i feel restriction for sure as i did try and eat and got sick so im back on liquids and thats fine for now. i joined over eaters ann. and go to my first meeting tonite. i feel excited about this move i just made. but, feel funny cuz im starting over. i to have alot of weight to lose and just gotta get on the rigth track. any suggestion on how to do that. my problem is the food part. im good with the work out part im going to start back working out 4 days a wk and walking at the park 3days a wk our park here is 3.2miles so im good there. and i have an appointment w/ the nutricionist soon. so im getting there.

im the same way. i was losing great before the band now it seem sorda slow. i think becuz i was not following the plan to a tee. but, its been 2days now and i seem to be doing good and have great restiction. at least the pressure in the back of my throat has went alittle. im gone try and hang around 1200 calories or less. i now feel the pressure in my chest if i eat to much or to fast i never felt it before. an a warm like sensation in my tummy. i think that is going to help me not eat so much. so we will see how it goes.

hi all as i said before i got a fill 2days ago and its going good. i kind of droped the ball and stop posting like i use to but, im back now and back on track. i go to a over-eaters ann. support meeting tonight i feel excited about that. seems like i lost my will power for a minute there. i felt like i failed cuz im not losing like i thought i should. but, im ok now if its slow then so be it as im in it for the long haul. well that is how i was feeling. tell me is or was anyone else feeling the same.

hi all i just go a fill yesterday so i'm gonna try and stick between 1200-1400 a day gonna go up and down. gonna have to get back on the band wagon and get my ass in gear. so wish me luck

i went and got a fill today he gave me 1.5cc i feel over tight some as i feel pressure in the back of my throat but, im hoping it will get better in a few days. im feeling posative about this fill. i gonna see what happens.

hey i did it i got the fill. i got 1.5cc and i feel good about it. i did learn a few things that i was doing wrong so im gonna lace my boots back up and get to walking. laurel im so glad you get some time off as you deserve it. rose what happen at the dr's.

hi all well i go for a fill tomorrow and seem to need it. i went to my dr today and have not lost any thing in 3.5wks. so i feel the band is needed. im hoping i see the scale move soon. im trying to hang in there. im working on my eating habits more. i picked up a few bad habits along the way like my mind thinks if i hardly eat i will loose more and i get stressed when i dont. so i have to start over and do things right.

hey corvodachick how are you. i do attend the monthly support meetings also but, thought i needed some thing that was more often. and that is so true you have to take it one day at a time. i think you eating in between is fine as i find that not everyone is the same not does the band work the same for everyone. and that you have to what works best for you. and if you eating in between meals a fruit then that is what works for you. i have to find what works for me. and get out of my head and start eating right and stop thinking me hardly eating is the thing to do. its me thinking messed up. and im working on that part. gotta change my eating habits and im gonna get back on track and get this weight off. so on that note i will see all you at the finish line :wink2:

ok here is an update on what is going on in my life i have came to realization that im having some issues with food so im going to attend an over eaters ann. class this friday. and going to take a nutriction class at the hospital. hope this will get me on the right track along with some others i came up with to try. i didn't even know that there was so many oea support meanings in my area. i seem to be excited for some reason.

hey everyone im here glad the see you back cordovachick. long time no post. ya we all have to just set our minds to it and just do it. i have been having a bite of a sweet tooth to rose. but, i gotta make this work. im hoping this fill gives me the extra something that i need. well we will see. hang in there rose you and your family are in my payers. keep us posted on what happen at the dr's.
