Eficka

Hello girls, Im struggling as well, BIG time.Im being good over the whole day but when I come back home from work I totally pig out,not like I used to before,but still I know damn well I shouldnt be eating that much. If I could at least excercise but the temp here is 35 degrees Celsius and AC in the gym is broken.It sounds like excuse but really I cant excercise in that weather,I would faint. Oh well I told myself that Im gonna behave today,so far so good:-)

Hi, personally I would go for it. You dont have another choice and also he might be new to this, but he must have undergone training and also he will be more carefull since he is new to it.Fine, other docs might have done thousands of bands but it gets stereotype to them. When you were doing something for teh first time you were more carefull than once you have done it over again for like 1000 time.Right? dont worry you will be fine! Good luck

Hello everybody, I would like to know how is with the drinking? I really cant stop drinking one hour before food.I managed not to drink one hour or 45 minutes after meal, but I cant see any reason not to drink before the food. Since its just water and it goes right through,right? I havent had any fills yet.Thanx for your replies.:cool:

hello everybody, so I had my first PB and sliming on Saturday and it was so freaking bad that I wasnt able to eat real food (just soups) unitl today! It happened when I ate bread, so from now on when I see bread I feel sick. On the other hand its goos I guess:-)I wont eat bread for a while after this. I think it was entirely my fault because I didnt chew it properly...oh well.How is everybody else doing? Im back from my holiday in Greece and I want to go back so bad!!!!

hello everybody, so I have hard time behaving:-] Im in Greece and the food is soooooo delicious.I dont have problems eating fried calamaries or tzatziki not even gyros.I havent had my fill yet and I guess I wont have it any time soon because my doc wants to wait for everything to heal.Im eating icecream and nutella and sweets so I bet I didnt lose any weight althugh I walk a lot.Oh well its my vacation and I will get back on the track once I get back home. The weather is so nice here 35 degrees Celsius in the sun and back in Czech republic its only 13degrees Celsius.Im afraid that Im gonna freeze once I get back. I never vomited or anything but does burping a lot and feeling a bit sick not like throwing up or anzthing just "feeling the stomach" mean that I ate a lot or something I wasnt supposed to eat?I felt like this when I ate apricots {two small ones]. I admire all of you how you stay on the track,but I will get back as well once I come back from Greece.Have a great day.Eva

hello everybody, czech is my native, I speak slovak,polish,I understand russian, my german is quite good and english is hopefully very good(so far everybody understood what I wanted to say:-),my spanish is really poor

Hello everybody, just want to say hi and take care. Im off to Greece for two weeks. Cant wait for their great food:-) and the sea!Hopefully since I will be away from scale I will lose a lot:-))

Hey Roberta and everybody, you are right we just must stick with the plan and everything will be fine. I went for my 5weeks checkup and the nurse told me that I look great the doc said Im doing well.He also said that I cant work on my abs for at least another 2months and my first fill will be not earlier than in two montths. He said he wants everything to heal perfectly and the band to "sit down" (or adjust, I hope that you understand me,cause my English is insufficient right now:-) Everybody is doing great, just stick to the plan and work hard,I know its not easy( and I know it damn well) but we can do it!! and in no time we will wear sizes without X!!!

LOL mine is Fantasia LeatherRidge

Hey everybody, I eat when Im hungry and my doc is ok with it. It means that I eat every 3-4 hours.Then I wait 45 minutes and start to drink.I guess it doesnt matter how often you eat but you must not eat more than 600-900 cals a day.I cant just sip on water so I normally drink.When Im takiing my pills in the morning I drink at least one glass of water in like 2 minutes. But I can feel that its going right through the band down to the bigger part of stomach.During the day I try to sip,but I would say that my sips are a bit bigger than the ones my doc wants me to do :-))

Funny Duddies...its not a trick it really looks like it:-)

NJGirl....congratulations on your weight loss!!! I have my check up on Monday, but here they dont give you fills within lets say 4 months...

welcome cookingjillie, I guess the protein shakes are ok.they wanted me on low cal diet in order to shrink my livers:-) Congratulations on your date:-)

or add into the potatoes some brocoli for your friends of I even add pieces of chicken breasts

I dunno, well what I love are sliced potatoes (thin) a bit of cream, blue cheese and milk,put the potatoes into the sauce and bake them for I would say 20 minutes.Its almost like mushies:-) or the pie,cant remember how you guys call it but its meat cut into tiny pieces with corn on top of it is mashed potatoes and baked in the oven....

and you want to do mushies for your friends as well?

Amourette I started new thread its april bandits 2006 may talk:-)

Hey everybody since our april thread is a bit disorganized Amourette and I decided to start a new one:-) How is everybody doing with their weight loss? Im not losing and way too frustrated:)

hey Amourette I can start the thread in the worst case nobody will answer...I stopped losing as well and Im way too frustrated

hey Amourette, thats a good idea to start a new thread, will you start one or should I do that?:-)) have a great one:-)

My name is Eva and my friends call me(since I was like 14) Eficka instead of Evicka which is a diminutive :-)

Thanx Roberta, words like these help me so much!!! I will be good and I already started today, I didnt have anything forbidden today! I know the problem with it is that you cant have just one:-) Hey you are doing so well with your weight loss. I guess my scale is broken or is it the Nutella? lol Thank you again for support!

Do you have problems with the food cravings?Well best of luck to everybody:-)

Hi everybody, Im just curious how are your scars after couple of weeks.These are my scars after three weeks:-) Look how my belly is smaller too:biggrin1:
