  1. How much are you suppose to loose in a month? I've kinda plateau but.. im starting to drop again, and i just wanted to know an average weight loss a month.. (if you are working out hard)
  2. Thank you guys so much for the pep talk.. i REALLY needed, i was getting dwn on myself. I got my 3rd fill today im at 7 cc's. I've been at this weight for about a month now, hince my concern. but what u guys said makes since...
  3. My weight loss has slow down TREMENDOUSLY.. i started out at 296 almost 4 months ago (June 3) and now ive been sitting at 245 for awhile.. im really getting dwn i havent changed what i was eating much and i work out 4 times a week (although i did stop for 2 wks) I called my doctor and sch a fill, hope that works.. just venting.. =/
  4. I had surgery in June and i started eating salad when i started eating raw fruits and veggies... which was 6 wks after surgery.. so im sure ur fine... as everyone suggested.. i would as the doc..
  5. oh yea and the only people that know about my band are my parents and brother.. I dont feel anyone else has the rite to know..
  6. HEY ALL... I just turned 21 years old.. and i was banded June 3, 2009... this process has been fairly easy.. the first 3 days i was in pain and EXTREMELY bloated.. but i was back to normal activity the next week.. ( although my parents wouldnt let me drive.. lol) Since surgery I am down 45lbs... i think i am doin fairly well.. feel free to add me :w00t:
  7. I was banded June 3 of this year.. and im down 40 lbs.. im EXTREMELY satisfied with my weight loss.. so im def with @Jachut in saying this is a life style change.. so i eat everything i want.. just in moderation and i choose healthier foods.. i work 3 to 4 times a week doing mostly cardio.. I wish ur much sucess :biggrin:
  8. Thanks guys.. Im doing so much better.. i just need to get back in the gym :biggrin: Restless Monkey as strange as this may sound im not sure how big my band is.. eek.. Im going to call my doctor and set up appointment to see if i can get another fill.. :wink2:
  9. No im like 7 weeks post op.. so i can eat the regular diet, i just feel like i REALLY fell off the bandwagon.. but im motivated now.. Im fine.. Im just worried that my fill isnt working.. i feel some pressure, but no restriction.. I can eat a whole chicken breast.. what i was asking is, if i drink with my meals does that hinder the restriction?
  10. I was banded June 03,2009 and my 21st bday was on July 6th, it was A BLAST.. but ultimately not good for my band.. Not only did i eat everything NOT good for me(chips,fried foods,cake etc...).. I ate and drank at the same time.. Drank alcohol (granted not that much) and i just cant seem to get my self back on track since.. On July 8th i went to the doctor and got a fill (4cc) and got test ran which the fill is obsolete if u eat and drink at the same time.RIGHT? Because in the mist of all my eating and what not i really didnt feel any resriction or any pressure... and def no vomiting.. I guess i just wanted to vent and ask... am i a total lost?.. Ive lost 30lbs prior to my screw up but im sure ive gained some back these past 2 wks. Let me know guys.. :scared2:
  11. Im about 7 weeks post op and i took a flite to Cali for my birthday (im from Texas) i just recently got my first fill.. The flite for me was really uncomfortable and i had ALOT of gas afterwards. so i would say be careful
  12. Im celebrating the BIG 2-1 ON July 6th!! YAYAY!! I was banded June 3rd ( about 3 wks ago) and im hoping to get down hopefully 10 more pounds. Im dwn for the cause!!
  13. Im 3 wks post op.. and im on lean meats (ground meats, poultry and fish) cooked veggies (carrots, green beans), and pretty much everything mentioned above... Ive been eating ALOT of tuna and chicken salad.. My doctor also added crackers and toast to my mushie diet..
