Hello!!! The trainer @ my gym just game me an awsome website for calorie burning!! Maybe everyone already knows about but if not I thought I'd share!! It is an activity calorie calculator. You scroll all the way down to the bottom, enter your weight and the duration in minutes, and it will calculate how many calories you burn doing various activities!! very cool!! http://primusweb.com/cgi-bin/fpc/actcalc.pl Pretty handy! -J

Hi all!! Im having a bit of a mental issue with my eating... I feel like while I still eat way less than I used to, and now eat more than I should but I have always sort of fealt that way since I got the band. I eat yougurt for breakfast every morning..no matter what for lunch its usually a chicken wrap thats 240 calories. sometimes I eat 1/2 sometimes I eat the whole thing Then dinner is usually meat and veggies of some sorts. I guess I don't personally know anyone who has had the band. At my last appointment I lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks so they did not do a fill. I wish they would have as I feel like my eating is out of control. Although I never snack for some reason it just feels bad. He put me out another 6 weeks and said if I lost another 7-10 lbs he would leave it. Does anyone else ever feel this way?? This was such a great chance...an opportunity to have it be different and I don't want to fail :cursing:

I am having this same issue. When I went in for my post op appointment I had lost 18 lbs, then they set my fill for a month out, when I went back I had lost 1 lbs, but it looked like I had lost about 8. I have 5 cc's in my 10 cc band and feel like I eat way more than I should, but when I went in for my 3rd fill this month, I had lost 11 lbs in 4 weeks and they didn't do an adjustment. I feel like I'm going to sabatoge myself bc i do eat more than a 1/2 cup, but obviously if they didn't do a fill, I'm doing ok. I wish they would have, however I am sustaining now for the last week 1/2. I was banded July 20th and am down about 30 lbs as of now. I buy new jeans, and they fit but i get them home and sit down for more than 10 minutes, they look like garbage bags. But the smaller size is too tight, I have a muffin top and I feel like I just got rid of that lol Such a hard place right now. No one understands how it feels to lose weight and be succesful and not feel cute in your clothes. Weird problem to have. The good part is I know in time they will eventually fit. I just hate walking around in my clothes that feel like tents. I should be more thankful than stressed I suppose :closedeyes: Good luck! sounds like you are doing great!!

Wow!!! Good luck! I'm sure you will hit 100 in no time!!! I was banded July 20th in Des Moines. My surgeon was awesome! I wasn't really on any pre surgical diet. Just about 1200 calories a day for a week which I was doing for the most part anways. I have lost 34 lbs since. I still have about 60 more to go. In any diet I've ever done before I always lose about 30 then hit a plataue that I can't get passed..so I give up. I lost 11 in 4 weeks @ my last appt so they didn't do a fill, I still have 5 cc's in my 10 cc band. Im not sure I have perfect restriction yet but I started working out hardcore this week so I hope I can keep truckin' along!

jr64044 replied to MsFab1988's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 2 mos post op (today actually) and I am down about 24lbs. Don't beat yourself up over it, I know its hard not to when you see people posting on here they have lost 40 lbs in two weeks but everyone is different and 17 lbs is great!! Hang in there girl!! You are doing great :biggrin: -
Wow! So soon!!! Yayyyyy!!! I am so excited for you!! When you get a date it becomes real!! So are you starting a pre-op diet? sometimes those can be the hardest part depending on what your Dr orders
Good luck girl!! I'm so happy for you! You will have to keep me posted on how you are doing! -
Thats funny I looked at a photo album today and thought the same thing!! How the person suspiciously had no scars and while I know some surgeons can only make one incesion but umm.. they were also TINY and you couldn't see their port anywhere? I'm pretty sure, if and when I get to be size 2-I expect to see my port a little...
