Congrats on the weight loss!! Have fun on the cruise you earned it, just make healthy food choices. The Tattoo LOL! I think everyone needs something to look forward to.

Thanks so much you guys for your support I raised my calories and changed the food I was eating and lost a pound just since Tuesday! I can't believe I was eating 5-800 and starving myself I guess I have 1000- 1200 as of today. I thought I was only suppost to eat 1/2 cup of food each meal, but I was wrong. This is week nine for me and I could have lost so much more had I listened before this week. Guess you have to learn from your mistakes. woooo hooooo!!!!!!:thumbup:

I do not like the cheese thats individual wrapped at all, but someone told me about the pepperjack. I got some today and it was great, my new snack. I have also been given advice about raising my calories so I guess we will have to wait till next Tuesday and see if the scales move. My calories went from 600 to 1200 and I have added 30 min extra of treadmill. So have you guys banded in November lost alot of inches? I am starving and i still have two in half weeks till next fill.Does fills olny keep you tight for about two weeks? Cause I have 4 cc in 10 band and my band was tight two weeks ago.

I'm one who spells it that away and i FIND IT CRAZy that you took the time to point out that it was spelled wrong. You better not read any of mine cause I am not good at spelling or punctuation. I spell it how it sounds and don't care. I am on hear for the support of people in the same boat as me. not to feel worse about myself with you telling me how to spell. i'm sure i will never spell that word wrong agian though.

I have decided my weightloss has stopped because of to low calorie intake. staring today I will increase my calories to 1000 and walk an extra 30 minutes each day. I'm going to have my husband hide the scales so I can only weigh once week. I feel i get disgouraged if the scales don't move like I want. Today I decided to make deviled eggs to snack on for my protein. I have not been getting in 60 grams a day. i DON'T LIKE COTTAGE CHEESE or stringe cheese I do like peanuts but they are high in calories. What do some of you fix for snack low in calories but high in protein. I'm getting tired of same old food.

My calories have been between 750-900 and I burn 400 each day with the treadmill. If I take in more calories I gain so thats why I'm confussed. I realize I need more calories but if I gain what do I need to do? thanks for your advice.

I have lost 26 pounds since Nove 23, but I lost 20 the first two weeks after surgery. I feel this is going very slow, but I am loosing inches. The stomach bug was so painfull, they should warn you about what happens.I thought I was going to die finally went to ER, but the worst was already over. Not sure why but Before I caught the bug I stayed full all day long, today I am starving. But still controling my hunger on my own. How much have you lost since surgery? I have 4cc in my band, how much did you get first and 2nd fill?

I got sick started throwing up friday night was taken to the hospital. They give me three bags of fluid and as of this morning i'm up on the scale 3 pounds. I'm really starting to not like this band. I have always been able to loose weight at the snap of a finger, but i can't keep it off. With the band I can't even loose. For breakfast I had 2 eggs and 14 light pringles. snack 1/2 cup peanuts. Lunch 1/2 cup of homemade potato soup and I will have 1/2 cup of potato soup for supper.snack sugarfree popsicole. I walked on treadmill for 30 min burned 201 calories and tonight will walk the same. I had nothing to eat on Saturday cause I was so sick Sunday has two cups potato soup. I realize the fluid they give me will make me gain but what if it don't go away. Why does the band have to be so hard to figure out.

Food menu for the day. Breakfast 2 eggs 140 calories 12 protein, baked doritos snack pack 90 2 protein snack sugerfree popsicle 15 calories lunch 1 can tuna 100 calories 22 protein, two squirts of dill relish 0 calories, mayo two tabl 30 calories, baked chips 90 protein 2 snack sugerfree popsicle 15 calories supper 5 small thin pieces of honey baked ham calories 60 protein 10, light pringles 70 calories protein 3 snack protein shot 110 calories 24 protein total calories 720 total protein 75 burned 372 treadmill morning 30 min 191 calories burned treadmill night 30 min 181 calories burned

I dont do protein shakes for breakfast, cause i think they are gross. I have four eggs most of the time that equals 24 protein. I usally eat the rest of my proetin

I started at 265 and as of today 263!:smile2:

yes i got up this morning and gained them both back. Calorie counting was easy, but this lapband is hard. If I eat more than 1/2 cup at each meal i gain. this does not make since to me at all. I get a fill loose then gain this is so discouraging! any help please! advice this is crazy and im mad!!!

had fill 0n 6th down 2 more pounds, but today is first day back on solids. Sure hope don't gain any.did anyone gain after back on solids?

That is so good! I was banded on nov 23 and have only lost 21 pounds. So tell us your secrets what have you been doing to loose the weight? How many calories, what kind of things have you been eating, how much 1/2 cup or more, do you exercise? All help us bandsters can use.:tt1::thumbup:

I totally agree with elfipoo the band is just like having a tredmill or elipctical. Just as long as before you sign up the person in charge says its ok for you to join with having the band. you will have just as hard of a time as them and it will totally motivate you. i joined a biggesets loser como last year it was great but broke my foot and didnt get to finish.wish they were doing it agian goog luck in whatever coice you make.

another fill in four weeks how about you?

Oh yeah my stomach growls all the time but i'm not hungry does anyone else have this?

I had my first fill yesterday. My dr used his hand found the port and stuck the needle in. It didn't even hurt, but knida made me sick for just sec. Went and took drink water and was out the door. I got 3cc put in 10 cc lapband. I didn't expect to feel anything on my first fill but I do. I feel comfortable restriction. I am suppost to eat only liquid for 48 hours. I hope this restriction lasts cause nI'm lovin it. How long does the restricion usually last???????

SKinnygirl Nov 22 5'4 286 267 im not on the list

I'm in as of today I weigh 267, but my goal is 20 pounds. That will make me 247 by valentimes day. I get first fill the 6th so i'm hoping to loose more.

I would help ya with the ticker but mine is white instead of black so you might want to ask someone else. If you get help i would love to figure out how to turn my white into black. youd think it would be fount

I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I have lost 21 pounds. I get my first fill on Dec 6th. My weight is 265 so I'm going to shoot for 20. That would make my wieght 245 if I meet my goal. I haven't been able to exercise yet cause of another surgery I just had. When I start exercising I will loose more during that month. I can start exercising a week from monday. I am so excited about the challenge thanks guys, cause I really need the support of others. I was told not to eat before a fill by someone. Is that true? you should not eat before a fill. My dr never said anything about that. I usually eat four eggs for breakfast. That takes care of 24 of protein and is only 200 calories.

Day five two more pounds and I'm back to the right weight before surgery and iv fluid retentioin. if your happy and you know it clap your hands. CLAP CLAP:thumbup::biggrin::thumbup::tongue2:

I WOULD LIKE IN ON THE VALENTINES CHALLENGE! I just had surgery on Monday so I'm still pretty swollen from that. I will weigh in on Monday and post my first weight. I get my first fill next week so my goal is 20 pounds by valentimes day!.

Anyone starting a new challenge tomorrow?
