Hi all!! just wondering whats everyone eating? I have kinda stalled in my weight loss.. I can eat about anything I want and that is not a good thing! So wondering what everyone is eating? Anyone have any healthy ideas I can pick up at the store! This weight needs to come off and I need your support!

Ritalou wow your down almost 30lbs.. thats great! I am green in envy:biggrin:... ha Keep you head up.. I have only lost 20.. I have my 2nd fill on tuesday I hope I cant eat as much after!:thumbup:

I am so Discouraged my weight is not moving at all.. Feels like I didnt even have anything dones... Thought I would be down 30 by now! Urgh:mad:

So I am stuck at 18-20lbs.. My weight seems to shift.. I havent been doing to well on eating right.. I am feeling so depressed... I am working out about 40 min a day. I guess just last week due to vaction I got off track.. Anyone else stuck in there weight loss or feeling depressed?

I basicly think he had to look it up because there are 3 different sizes of lapbands... small standered and large.. I know standered is 10 and larger is 14..

I had 3.5 cc added to my band and I have had no porblems since the fill. The first couple of days the Soups filled me up.. now I am back on reg food and I can tell alittle but not alot since the fill... I woundnt worry about the after affects of the fill... I hope next fill I have more restriction!! Ohh I i am finally down 20 lbs:thumbup:

Had my first fill.... It was fine and I didnt feel a thing!

I have my first fill on tues and I am already scared! Anyone else freaking out? They do mine under xray so I dont think they have to poke around as much but still just worried!

Just wondering what your fills are like under fluriscopy? I have my first fill next week and just wonder if they have to poke as much?

Hey just wondering what your fills are like under fluriscopy? I have my first one done next tues.. under fluoroscopy

One of my friends that had the band awhile go filled me inthat her doctor said only 20 grams of fat a day.. since i have been doing that I have lost! Maybe try that!

My first fill will be on the 28th. I am nervous and excited! Still havent lost alot of weight between 12-15lbs... wish it was more!

I feel the same as you girlies! I was banded on 6-30, and I have lost 15 and feel like I should be losing more.. My wieght seems to change everyday! I think I should get rid of my scale.. every time I go to the bathroom I swear its calling my name. I have been sticking to the diet and feel good about that. I have also started working out 4days so far this week on the treadmill for 30min. I still need to jump on today so that will make it 5 days. I am disappointed that the weight is not dropping! I would just like to be down 20 for the month I know thats not the average buthow can it not be dropping when I eat like 1/2 of what I used to!

I figured since I am larger maybe that was why I cant feel it.. I thought I found it on my right side but they said no... its on the left. Are fills harder when you cant feel it?

Hi everyone! I was banded on 6/30 and I cant for the life of me find my port. Just wondering if I should be able to feel it of not?

I thought I felt it on my right side by a small insicion but I called today to see if i was right and they said no.. my port is on the left side near the larger insicion. I have no clue. on my right side it must be scare tissue. On my left side i dont really feel anything. I thought my be i felt it but I dont think thats it.. I am worried about finding it! I know i shouldnt be but I am!

Hi there,.. I was banded on the 30th.. I am also nervouse about the fill. Can you feel your port? I am worried cause i havent been able to locate it. I thought I found it on my right said and I called to see for sure and they said no.. its on my left side...

Hello all.... I was banded on 6/30 in overland park KS. I am doing so good! Only thing is I am disappointed i havent lost more.. down 14lbs. I see alot of people are down 20 from surgery and it make me wonder what I am doing wrong?

Hi everyone! I went to my one week appointment and I am only down 6lbs. I must say I am so dissappointed! I was down like 12 but they said that is normal cause when you go under for surgery there is a shift in weight! I dont know I geuss I am mad cause I dont eat even half of what I used to. I just started more walking today.. about 20 min on the treamill to start. I fell few days after surger and hurt my leg and knee so today was the first day on the treadmill. Anyone have any advice on how they are doing on weight loss.. I soo agree with all of you about the food. Its so hard to be around people when they are stuffing there faces! And the TV doesnt help either. At least I can have cottage cheese that so has helped me!

I was banded on the 30th.. I am doing good but the liquid diet sucks

Hi everyone, I was banded on June 30th and I can have cream liquids Ice cream shakes. I noticed that I cant have cottage cheese for another week or so does anyone know why that is. Is anyone else wanting to kill the people that are eating right infront of u? Ugh

I am sooo happy for you!! I am still waiting on Inc... So dissappointed that havent heard back!! I hope for July!!!

Why do u have to have your gallblader removed before? cant they do that all at once?

Yes I felt the same way as you.. I think the deal is just like some one that sells cars.. if he is a ford dealer he is going to sell you a for and if hes a GM dealer hes going to want you to buy a Gm.. so in the bypass field. I believe that if the Dr likes doing more lb then bypass that is going to be what he wants you to do where as if the dr does more bypass then he will want you to do that. Its not that he doens know how to do the other one he just like to do more then the other. On the flip side of it is the Bypass costs more and ofter because of the rapid weight loss it is more likely that you will have to have skin removed..gall bladder removed and so on.. this bringing them more moeny.. I need to lose at least a 140 and I know the lB if for me. I think after you research it you will come to terms with what is best for you..

I am in Iowa.. just waiting to hear from INC I so hope I get approved other wise I am not sure what I will do!
