hows it going everyone? feeling plateaued.

b - cocoa, mini bagel (toasted well with cream cheese) l - 2 fish, sm. okra s - couple of jelly beans d - bbq chicken legs, mac and cheese, and peas (i forgot about not being able to eat pasta. i was just thinking hmm.. that sounds good together.) so i ended up losing most of my dinner. blah! i think the chicken and peas would have been ok alone.

b - cocoa l - 2 pieces of fish and some okra s - lots of water and a little blue icee d - catfish, pinto beans, greens, corn bread (very little), mashed potatoes - a little of all eating a lot of fish lately.

good to know. ill have to ask. i agree with everything you said slim. i am feeling much better. almost back to normal.

b - cocoa, 1/2 a frozen waffle l - 2 small pieces catfish s - 1/2 cup broccoli casserole d - 1/4 frozen pizza

i sort of made mine up with leftovers. it was delicious. 2 cups of left over steak cut up 2 cubed green peppers 1 cubed onion 1 Tbsp. dried minced garlic 1/2 sour cream 1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 cup mozzarella or provolone cheese (shredded) saute green peppers and onion until soft. add cooked steak and heat through. stir in garlic. stir in sour cream and soup and heat through. pour into 13x9 dish and sprinkle top with cheese. bake at 350 for 30 minutes. mine turned out a little soupy but i liked it that way. i would say if you wanted it to be thicker omit the sour cream or add al dente pasta if you can eat it. here is a picture of mine

it bothers me that they dont want to tell. i mean what if something bad happened and i had to go to the er and they wanted to know how much i had in my band... and i said um, i dont know. not like they would know much about band anyway. sorry, apparently needed to vent about that.

b - cocoa, few bites of cottage cheese l - teriakyi chicken only d - philly cheese steak casserole (i was craving a sandwich so made this up to help). and broccoli casserole in case my creation sucked. maybe 1/2 cup of each s - few crackers with cream cheese

thanks slim. i am thinking about seeing someone.

i agree that you should go ahead. this was my 7th fill.

how did it help?

has anyone sought the help of a therapist in all of this? i read something about a therapist at gbi the other day and just wondered (talking about hypnosis, alleviating head hunger, etc... ) i have considered seeking some sort of therapy only because i want to be very successful and do every thing in my power to make that happen. which is why i go to support groups and post my daily food habits on here. frankly i started thinking about this when i had to go see a psychologist as part of my insurance coverage for this surgery. please, do not feel obligated to answer. just curious.

b - cocoa l - clam chowder (stayed down, yeah!) d - chicken stirfry with a few bites of rice. i shouldnt have eaten the rice which i knew but had to try. this caused all my rice to come back up. s - after dinner pb i tried some soup because i was SO hungry but apparently vomiting made my band too irritated so this came up also. misery is lingering. was able to drink more fluids than usual after my hot beverage this morning. :cursing:

still not great but better. i am trying to drink some hot cocoa in the mornings to help loosen and soothe my band. still on sort of a soft diet. misery hasnt left yet. i am sad to find out that icee's are carbonated. :sad: that took the wind out of my sails. i only discovered this from unwrapped on food network. blast it all! i am still not sure that i dont need another unfill but i am trying to wait for 2 weeks seeing as my situation isnt as dire as it once was. i would have been in the hospital over the weekend if i hadnt gotten fluid taken out on thursday. To exacerbate my suffering, i am craving a big crusty sandwich :cursing: which i know i could never eat even a bite of. drats.

b - 6 oz yogurt l - 1/4 cup soup (came back up) d - catfish (1 and 1/2 pieces) with slaw and pinto beans s - shared chips and guacamole with kids. not many for me.

I hope you dont have to experience any of the misery i have been going through.

thats awesome carrie. sorry you're starving, slim. i have lost a lot of weight this week but i have been vomitting and/or not able to eat which was not the way I envisioned this. however, this has been my only bad experience with the band in 7 months.

had to get an unfill but feeling better now. thanks for checking on me. i have been miserable. how are you doing?

thanks luluc. that is my plan. b - 6 oz yogurt l - 2 oz chicken, couple bites of potato d - toppings off pizza s - colby sunbursts i have had some vomitting today but it has been slimy stuff not really food regurgitation. any thoughts?

i had a fill today so liquid - soft: b: 6 oz yogurt l : coke icee d: lentil soup, yum, yum s: mozz stick i am having trouble getting exercise into my sahm routine. any suggestions? how did you all get motivated and stay motivated?

had a fill today that i was happy to get. i was so happy that i had lost weight being that i just got back from vacation. here's hoping that this fill will be the sweet spot fill. it is #7 for goodness sakes. so here's fingers crossed. brooke wasnt there today... baby woes i imagine. hope everyone is doing well and that i have lost 100 lbs at my one year mark. that is awesome, mink; congratulations.

cmexlr8 - tiffany answered my calls also which i thought was weird. she is not my favorite person in the world for sure. sorry you are so frustrated. hopefully brooke will reply soon.

thanks for your thoughts. i have been much better today. i dont know if it is this crazy weather or what. i do not like it. no vomitting today so that was good. how is everyone else doing?

b - 1 waffle l - 2 oz turkey tenderloin d - oven fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas (it was so delicious and all stayed down.) s - banana popsicle - sore throat today.

i am so frustrated with my variability. i think i am too tight now. i did move my fill up because i was starving and eating a lot but now i am not able to keep down much protein, am having night coughing, and am at a stand still on the weight loss. i wish i would stay one way or the other. in any event, i think my fill may turn into an unfill.
