Congrats!! I wont know if I've lost anything until the 25th. I'm still refusing to buy a scale.

Does it feel like your body is giong into starvation mode at any time? Did you just become a vegatarian after the surgery.

Well you are doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you

Happy Weekend!! I just got on myfitnesspal.com and i love it. great tool to have if you don't already use it and you can download the app to your smartphone

Oh yeah. I figured out that I was so tight after my fill on Tuesday because my stomach was full of gas it felt like it did when i initially first came out of surgery really tight and uncomfortable. After finally getting all of that extra air out of me my stomach finally started growling this morning around 11. I had some mashed potatoes and it didn't take very many for me to fill up on not to mention it was kinda hard to swallow. So anyway, i go back to the doctor on the 25th if this is gonna help me out then i'm gonna stick with this level of restriction.

I can only plan to do better and actually try. I hope to get to the green zone soon so i can start to lose the weight like i'm supposed to.

I'm curious about the 100lb weight loss myself. Somebody please tell me what to do to get there

Theresa maybe we can help each other and keep each other motivated to get down to our goals. I did read somewhere that I should substitute a Protein shake in everyday for a meal to help with keeping me full. I am also starting off with 30 minutes of treadmill to get my heart rate up.

Yep I got filled last night around 6:30 and I'm liquids only. All i have had is coffee and Water. I will add stuff to it eventually to see how i hold up. I'm full and I feel full so i'm good with that.

Did I mention to you guys that I am full for no reason? I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm full

Good Morning, I finally got a chance to get in for a fill and hopefully get this show on the road. I'm not sure exactly how many cc's she put in there but I'm feeling very full today for no apparent reason. I'm hoping that the weight loss will pick up. Its been a year and I'm down 32lbs total, not a huge amount but I'm not going to get down on myself to much right now. I'm in the market for some ways to prepare my meals and count my calories and proteins. I don't buy very many precooked meals so I'm not really sure how to do this but I'm sure there is a method I can use. Anyway, you guys pray for me and I will try to get on this site as often as I can cause this seems to be the only place where I can get some kind of support. Thanks again team!!!

Thanks Lady I hope this picks up pretty well.

thank you so much for the encouragement!!! I only have about 3cc's in my band because the nurse somehow managed to take some how and by some unforseen source she couldn't put any in. go figure.

I called my physician today and made and appt for next tuesday evening. I was planning to ask them to put in a few cc to get me up to at least 6cc's. I figure if its too tight then i'd be more likely to come back sooner and have some taken out versus not having enough and not really being in a rush to get it to the right level. Right now i can eat like i never had the surgery so its very hard for me not to eat like that even though mentally you know you shouldn't. i just have to do better because i really wanted this surgery pretty bad and i'm starting to get discouraged on every level.
