I like my Wii Fit, but if you can get the EA Active for the Wii I feel like I am working harder (and also break a sweat).

Britt,

How much of each meal can you eat.....I only eat the 4oz at each meal and was wondering how much of their meal that is. Thanks!

I had to see a dietician through my insurance and she would give me goals that on the next meeting I had to show thru a journal what I was doiing and also lose at least a pound or two.

I like the Splenda with Fiber in it!

I have to fight my urge for diet pepsi at least a couple times a week. I have had a sip of someones once in awhile when it gets too bad, but haven't had any beer yet...not too big of a beer drinker though.

I drove the second day after, but I also had to stay overnight 1 night. Surgery on a Monday drove on Wednesday.

Hello all,

I am very excited today as I am finally under 200....been fighting to get there the last couple weeks and made it....whoo hooo.

My doctor used dissolving stitches and glue.

Since the surgery I have been buying most of my clothes at Ross (good price, good quality). I also check out clearance racks.....not worth paying full price for something that might only fit a few weeks.

Jason...just want to say you sound awesome. Good luck, getting the surgery was the best thing I have done as I am sure it will be for you!

I actually went to Sears tonight to look in the clearance section (not worth buying regular priced clothing) and decided instead of going to the plus size I went to the "regular size" and tried on a 16 pant and an xl shirt...pants fit great and shirt could even be a little big but works for me.

Thanks for the tip. My doctor also advised after pb'ing you should be on liquids for 24hours. He says that the pb'ing can irate your pouch causing swelling and to give your stomach 24 hours to heal.

I paid 11,000 and insurance paid 5,000.

I was 254.1 when I was banded on March 3rd, 2009 I am now at 202.2.

I will Sean!

Thanks Jacqui! That's how I am trying to be about it. Just gonna go and enjoy myself!

I am going on one this Wednesday....I am just thinking much smaller portions and slow way down. I am not planning on weighing my food while there but plan on being as good as possible. I will let you know how it goes once I get back.

I like to go to the meetings. I have missed the last three due to work and vacations but I plan on starting back up in August.

Was actually able to buy a top in the regular section!

My doctor moved me to regular foods starting the 4th week after surgery. Since then I can eat anything I want, but I have been trying to make healthier choices and limit to my 4oz. The only things I have found that I have a problem with is rice and soft breads, gets stuck almost every time I try.

My reaction is the same as Jenn's...extreme pain...feels like my stomache is being twisted into knots and starts gurgling. I am learning to stop at the first gurgle, if I do that then that is all good.

I can't do it either, no matter what else I am doing.

I have told everyone.....not ashamed that I needed help in losing the weight, plus most have been very helpful and encouraging.

My doctor said my ideal weight was 125, I am shooting for 150 and will reevaluate myself at that time.

My doctor advised out of my 4oz meal to do 3 oz Protein and whatever as the last 1. He also mentioned that the bad thing with Pasta is it is a slider food, so does not stay in your pouch as long as other foods so you do not retain the full feeling. Also the two times I have tried to eat rice I have gotten sick afterwords, so I am thinking it swelled up.
