I agree with Jodi...I have had issues with eating too fast/too large of bites....Good luck to you!
-
the first few days stink..but it does get better...I promise!
-
Mine have gotten somewhat better from pushups and but it seems to be just loose skin now....I am not sure how to really get rid of it for good
-
I currently have 5 cc...I had 5.4 but had .4 removed due to vomitting.
-
I do A LOT of greek yogurt too!!! I mix in some blueberries or raspberries and some splenda...it really is yummy!! Funnything...I go by Amybee all the time...and I went to ASU...just thought it was sort of a coincidence!
-
Good Luck to you You will do great!!!

I buy Trader Joe's brand 0 percent! So yummy!!! I mix a little splenda in it!

I had my surgery at Shady Grove Hospital!
-
I went for my first fill yesterday and they said I could not have one since I was not 30 days out...I am going back Thursday!!! They are only putting 1 cc in my 10cc band, so yours is a lot compared to mine
-
I went today for a fill (which is what my appt was for) and was turned down since I am only 26 days post op....they said I have to be at least 30!! I wish the idiot who made my appt knew that!! I am going back Thursday morning for my fill and then leave the next day for vacation!!
-
Looking forward to it! I am a little nervous though Hopefully this will be the kick I need to get that scale moving!!!!
-
Yes, i am exercising at least 3-4 times a week at the gym.....maybe I am just in a rut or something!
-
I get between 700-800 3.5 weeks post op....this includes 30 carbs, 70 protein and 30 fat...but my carbs and fat are usually slacking a little....I am not really losing any weight and my nutritionist is not too concerned, but wants me to watch it for the next couple weeks since I am not eating that many cals....Do you think if I increased my caloric intake I would lose more weight? I am going in for my 1st fill on Monday, which she does not think will make a great difference since I am not eating alot...any help is appreciated!! I am very strict will logging on daily plate too...so I know my cals are accurate!!!! Again any insight is greatly appreciated!:biggrin:
