im doin better now, i had a fill finally have restriction, and i started exercising so i feel much better now

Have you been exercises? I promise that is why I have lost so quickly. I work out at least 4 days a week. Have you had a fill? Do you eat alot of slider foods? When it's my time of month and I have the munchies really bad, I have a tendancy to eat alot of slider foods and can't seem to ever be satisfied.

Will I Ever See the REAL ME??
NikkiReyes replied to sweetbean70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had the same self image problems as well. Every night whenever I get ready to take my bath, I think when will "I" ever notice the weight loss. Then yesterday I looked in the mirror and thought I have curves again. I actually have a waist. I could see it in my clothes and I did finally go buy me some new clothes because my old ones were just falling off of me. I am finally getting excited, I was very leary of buying new clothes; I kept telling myself I just didn't want to spend all the extra money when I would only be able to wear them for a month or two anyways. But when I slid on that 18 and it was just a tad to tight, I couldn't help it I got excited just because; hey I could at least slide on a 18 and button it! Every day for me gets better and better. It will for all of you too. -
What can't you eat??
NikkiReyes replied to southernbelle13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hiccups are the first sign for me something is stuck and it is coming back up. Just remember everyone chew chew chew and small bites. Me PBing is my fault 95% of the time. I forget to chew everything up good enough and I will sometimes still eat to fast. I am not sure how to stop myself from it. It's been at habit for 34 years, what do some of you do to keep from eating so fast? -
What can't you eat??
NikkiReyes replied to southernbelle13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a list of things I can no longer eat Red meat - Not good - sometimes I can do hamburger meat if it is mixed with something and cooked as fine as I can get it. Lettuce was a huge mistake - my first time PBing was with a very small piece of lettuce. Can't do cole slaw either no matter how chopped up it is. Strawberrys kill me and most other fruits do as well dried or fresh Milk doesn't set really well on my stomach anymore, makes it pretty upset for awhile after drinking it. No bread or torillas But I will say, when you get sick on something you have a tendancy to never want to eat it again, so I guess that's a good thing. I eat alot of chicken, eggs, cheese, Beans (as long as they are really well cooked) rice is ok. I swear though I am going to start clucking and growing feathers one day from eating so much chicken. :biggrin: -
Who Wants To Share Some Recent NSVs??

For the first time in 5 years I am back in a loose size 20 down from a very tight 24. Actually being able to paint my toes with breathing like I ran a mile. Going through my closet and getting rid of my fat clothes instead of getting rid of fat clothes for bigger fat clothes. Just knowing that one day, I won't be the fat girl anymore! It makes me want to cry with what I have acheived! Congrats everyone! You guys are GREAT! -

It really depends on where the ticker is from. Make sure you are using the code that says can be added for forums. -
This Freakin band is working
NikkiReyes replied to fatgirlinNY's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think this band is the best thing to ever happen to me. I had surgery on June 12th and have lost 50.2 pounds since May 28th (pre-op). I have had no fill and have no fluid in my band. My doctor will not give a fill unless you loose no weight in a month. He says the less fills you have the better chance you will have at reaching goal weight. I thought I needed a fill a couple of weeks ago but had lost 12 pounds in 1 month. So no go. Since then I made up my mind I was ok and I have stopped craving food all the time. I think alot of my cravings and being hungry were just pure mental. I do work out 4 to 5 times a week as well and I think that helps alot too. -
