Hope all went well for you! I started mine when I showed up at the hospital too.

You go girl!

Hey you guys! Just found this. Can I join in please? I need some more motivation. My weight today was 215.6 so the scale finally moved! I am almost half way to my goal :eek:

Thank you for the website recommendation! I am checking it out right now. They have those books at my library too, so I am going to check them out! I am getting a fill tomorrow, so I'll see if that helps too.

Thank you all for the ideas! It just gets super frustrating.

So I am just stuck between the same couple of pounds. I keep yo-yo-ing back and forth. I am no where near my goal weight. Not even half way there yet. Anyone have any advice? I am debating doing a liquid diet to jump start things. Any other ideas to get my weight loss going again? I will be having another fill next week, so hopefully that will get me started too. TIA! Andrea

My band is pretty tight in the morning so I keep drinking the same protein shake over and over... 4 oz. chocolate light soy, 4 oz. water, 1/2 banana, 1 TB pb, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder. I love it, but I am afraid I'm going to get sick of it. So what liquid do you have for breakfast? I wouldn't mind trying some of the low carb Slim Fast shakes, but I want to call my doctor's office first and ask their opinion. I have seen the shake recipes on here. Some of the flavored syrups and powders are hard to find. A few I've tried I just don't really care for. Thanks for any advice! I really appreciate it :w00t:

Thanks Jamie! It's that patience thing that gets me! ha ha ha

I am definitely not full for hours on end. If that's what I'm looking for I've got a little ways to go.

Nope! Just posted this last week! Still in the yellow...

So did you feel restriction right away after your fill or did you start feeling it a few weeks after the fill? I eat and feel hungry shortly there after. If I notice the hiccups or any slight feeling of not being so hungry, I try to stop eating so I don't eat too much. An hour later though I'm hungry again, and I mean quite hungry. So I am assuming I don't have good restriction yet. My fill was just last Tuesday though.

No one has restriction?!

Anyone with restriction out there?

Just curious. How often are you hungry? Or are there moments when you're not even hungry at all? About how much food can you eat at a sitting? Are you snacking? I am wondering because I have 7.5cc in a 10cc band and I still feel hungry. The nurse told me the other day that I should be close to the green zone. Um, I am still hungry and still can eat quite a bit, less, but still more then I'd like. Thanks, Andrea

Well the skinny lattes were super good! Had one with the vanilla and one with the hazelnut. It's definitely do-able!

That explains why the white mocha is my favorite winter and summer drink! ha ha ha Once I scoped out the calories and fat I knew it needed to go... non-fat, no whip or not! Thanks for all of the great suggestions Christan! I know I'm jonesing now, so I'm going to start with the skinny latte tomorrow.

You guys are giving me so great ideas! Thank you!!! I want to go get some coffee right now :wub:

I can handle Skinny too Silver :thumbup: Thanks for the advice. Sorry to tempt you Rutiglius!

I am addicted. I'm great about getting it decaf and nonfat, but still hooked non-the-less. So what's my best bet if I get something? I am not a fan of straight up black coffee. Love all of the iced drinks. I know I'm not suppose to drink my calories, but this is definitely a weakness for me. Any thoughts? TIA!

Ok, 253.8 today! It's official. And I have another fill tomorrow Bring on that 20lbs!

Thanks everyone :thumbup:

I'm three months post op and have been having a pain on my left side. It feels just like after you exercise (walk/run really hard) and your side hurts. Does anyone know what this pain is? It just started this last week. If I lean to my right it makes it feel better. Weird, huh? TIA! Andrea

Thanks BG!

Please add me! I am going for 20lbs. this time! I know I can do it. I'm at 253.4 lbs.

253.4 Can someone add me on there please? Not my goal, but down and not up! :tongue_smilie: We can do this!!!
