congrats.....u r doing great!

I have been stuck several times and its no joke.

It's been a week since I fell off the rollercoaster and Im doing great! The six pounds I gain in two weeks. I lost five of them this week. I can tell I lost more inches off my waist. (If you read my previous journal) My goal was to workout at least three times a week. I have workout five times this week. My other goal was to stay around 1,200 calories a day. So far I been eatting around 850 calories. :cheatfree::willy_nilly::cheatfree: Since I heard that sodas can streched your band. I have not had a Code Red Mountain Dew. Thanks julieann, that sure did scare me straight:w00t:. (I needed that girl) :Banane37::heart::iagree: Well I don't have much to say but my new walking buddy I have at work that I like so much. She lost her job, so I'm back with my other walking buddies. I made a promise Im not going to let them slow me down, I'm committed to losing this weight.:Banane37:

I'm glad your insurance covers most of it. Its going to seem like a long time because u r excited. I can't waited 4 u to join the Band of life. lol. Thanks for the post on my journal. Hopefully I can stay on track.

Sorry to hear. I know u are disappointed. Keep me posted.

Hey girl, sorry u had a rough day. I can relate to that. After I had my 17 month old and was out on leave for 3 months. I lost a lot of weight because I was breast feeding. And when I cam back to work I still was eating a lot and everyone at work knows how much I eat. So this one girl keep saying to me everytime she saw me getting. U going to gain it back, you going to gain your weight back. She gotten on my nerves. I forgot what I told her, and yes I gain it all back and then some. People say things to us not knowing how it affects us. Especially if we are overweight and losing the weight. With that Im extra senstive because I know how easy it is to gain it back. I guess that's why I didn't tell anyone about the lapband because if I fail. I don't have to hear people say and you went through all that....bla....bla...bla....just to gain your weight back. Feel free to vent anytime my friend!

Well like I mention on my first post. I have fail so many diets, so why not fail this one. I started out at 229. Gotten down to 206. I was very excited and started treating my self to treats. Like my friend julie.ann says we use food as a way to reward us and that is so true. So I just rewarded myself back to 212. Thanks a lot Sarah!! (I talk to myself a lot) :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Also I have a problem with being consistant. That's with cleaning, working out, everything in life. Being consistant is boring. But I have to get better with it if I want to suceed. :tongue::eek::Dancing_wub: I started back working out at least three times a week. I walk twice a day at work for 15 minutes. I do my slim n 6 dvd at home. My goal is to work out 5 times a week and to lose at least 1 to 2 lbs a week. Rollercoaster ride is over!!

I am going to view your recipes. I love new ideas.

I am really loving this site. I have now just posted my first poll and thread on how many calories do u intake a day, and what's do u eat? I been on this site all day today. At first I usually just email julieann and view some threads. Now I am all over the place. :thumbup::Banane37::wink2: Today I did really well. I didn't eat breakfast for the simple fact that I didn't get up till after 12 noon. I was very tired from Friday and Saturday. My husband took the kids to Pizza Hut for the buffet. He wanted to take me also. I decline. If you read my previous days u will know why! I was surprise at how easy it was for me to say no. Pizza is my favorite food.....well use to be.....it get stuck now. :cheatfree::ohmy: I just did my slim n 6 ab workout. Now I am about to do my Burn it up slim n 6 workout. My calorie intake today is 845. That's the lowest. I normally do around 1,500 but looking at the poll i created. I think im going to start intaking about 1,200 calories a day.

U are not bossy! U just telling it like it is thanks.

I did really well. At the buffet I had 1 1/2 piece of fillet fish, a few bites of cabagge, and a small portion of cream corn. I have received my second fill Monday and I was really able to fill my new restriction for the first time. (I have 6.5 ccs in a 14 cc band) O and I had a Code Red Mountain Dew on the way home. I am addicted to those!! :thumbup::eek::thumbup: It's late Friday night and I am tired....but I did say I am going to do my Slim n 6 dvd. I choose to do the ab work out. :Dancing_wub::rose::clap: Hopefully I will do well tommorrow. We are going to eat at Applebees.....am I going to order my 2 for 1 Strawberry Margaritas I love so....with whipcream....am I going to order snacks at the movies? Time will tell........:tongue: Saturday Night Well time did tell.....Today is family day. We went to Captain D's instead of Applebees. I ordered the chicken kids meal which consist of 1 chicken strip, fries, 1 hushpuppy & tea. I shared the few fries I had with my son and 17 month daughter. :clap::rose::bolt: At the movies I did have some of my 9 year old son popcorn and drink. I am getting hungry again. I think its because I didn't wait 1 hr to drink. I drank right after I ate and that flush the food through your lapband and your full feeling will be gone. But I was so thirsty:beer_yum: :rose::rose::rose: On the way home my husband wanted to stop at McDonalds and yes I ordered a four piece nugget, two applepies and there was an extra cheeseburger they put in the bag by mistake and yes I ate it. Guys I can actually hear u going tsk, tsk, tsk. Feel free to leave comments and critisize me. I want mine! :rose::rose::rose: On a better note....all that made me nausa. Yes I did say on a better note. The reason why I said that is because it was my lapband talking to me like it never talk before. Food didn't get stuck or anything. My lapband just told me hey u over did it. And I told bandie thanks, I needed that. So when my husband gotten his usually late night snacks. I didn't get my Code Red Mountain Dew. I went home and worked out like I never did before and I turn my little negtive into a postive. I did my Slim n 6 ab workout and my Slim n 6 Burn it up workout. I feel great.....I think I am going to do my ab workout again. A little way to punish myself for being naughty. Guys I didn't fall off the rollcoaster because as I was slipping I caught myself. :thumbup:

:myscared:The reason why some people don't lose weight with the lapband is because they are still drinking juice or drinks with a lot of calories. Also if you don't wait at least an hour after you eat before u drink. Your full feeling can go away. Another way is still eating candy,chips etc. That's why my weight lost is going slow. As far as those negtive stories. Just learn from there mistakes. My doctor doesn't like me going to this site because of that and also because every doctor is different. Stay positive and focus, this is only the begining!

Thanks for sharing. I am going to try to figure out how to start a thread or poll and see what other people are eating.

I never had this happen. After your doctor's appt. let me know what he saids. Also Im surpise u haven't had any adjustments. The doctors normal does it 6 weeks afterwards. I was banded Oct 29, 2008 and I've had 2 fills. My third fill is March 3. Did the doctor put any saline in during surgeory? My doctor didn't. I have 6.5 ccs in a 14 cc band.
