hello fellow bandsters!...i'm still here doing ok...at a standstill right now with weight loss, but hopefully i can get my 2nd fill this week!...i have 3cc's in my 10cc band right now and i have no restriction at all!....hopeing after this week oi'll be back to loosing the weight!...congrats to everyone on such great weight loss numbers! i'm jealous! lolz

April 26, 2010 I Don't eat as healthy as i should, i'm still trying to figure out what exactly i can eat that will still go down...having some trouble with a lot of foods, but still doing ok! I exercise 3-4 times a week for about 45-60 minutes of cardio and then i do weights for about 30-40 minutes a day. I have lost around 60lbs, give or take a pound or two. I am very happy...definately glad i had the surgery just wish i would of did it 2 years ago!

Just came back from vacation and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in! lolz

Can't get into speadsheet either :thumbup: .....I think imma shoot for 15lbs....didnt quite make the 25lbs for the 4th so 15 it is...if i loose more then great :thumbup: .....GOOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

down 6lbs this week!...my 25lb goal was definately a reach lolz..I'm lucky if i end this challenge with 15lbs lost....Count me in for Labor Day this time i will set a realistic goal....I Love these challenges it really gives me that extra push!...I agree Christmas is too far away....lets talk Labor Day then maybe Thanksgiving and then Christmas lolz

So i got my first fill of 3cc's yesterday and im hoping this gives me some restriction because i had none!...the scale has definately slowed down and stayed in the same range for weeks...hopefully 3cc's is good enough for now... i dont feel any different when on liquids so i guess I'll find out monday when i can eat solids again.

I was banded April 26th and have lost 26 pounds since surgery...50 all together. My 6 weeks post op appointment is in two weeks and i feel like i need some restriction...i plan on calling them on monday to find out if i can have a fill on that day and how much it costs!...the even more good news is im finally in twoderville!!...havent been there in about 8 years so im very happy with my weight loss so far!....its time i get back in the gym and really shed these pounds! i'm also thinking about hiriing a personal trainer so i wont have so much xtra skin!

I know that the only way you can eat bread is if it's toasted, but what about muffins, waffles & pancakes? Are these all a no no because they are breadlike too?? I am finally on regular foods again after 6 long weeks and now i feel like I'm afraid to eat anything! lol

Congrats!!! I know that is such a great feeling....I cant wait til i get there just 5 more pounds LOL

Thanks everyone I am going to try pureeing some foods in my blender and see how that goes, i must admit im a little nervous lol....my nutritionist is stressing high protein foods only so its tough, only 3 more days and i can do soft foods...yay!

ok so i was banded on 4/26 and im at the puree stage of this post-op diet and i am starving!!...i feel like i have no restriction and i am sick of eating eggs and yogurt all day....i dont like cottage cheese,tofu,hummus,fish or peanut butter so im pretty much screwed when it comes to what i can eat right now....im scared to puree a dinner because i just dont see how that tastes good.....any suggestions on what to eat or how to puree would be very helpful!!!..i feel like im so stuck for the next 5 days until i can finally go to soft mushy foods at least then i can have some chili and oatmeal....Thanks in advance

Yay!...My First Challenge...Count me in...I'm not yet on solids and i still have 3 more weeks of mushies then soft solids so i'm aiming high...put me in for 25lbs....no pain no game :confused:

Chinese food??!??...what are you able to eat from them? lolz i'm just so curious because i thought that would be something i would have to give up forever and ur abe to eat it so soon lol...great to know...thnx:smile2:

Thanks! i've lost 17 pounds in a week and a half, but i think im starting to level off and slow down...i started my mushies this morning with a scrambled egg and it went down well and kept me full so hopefully now things will get better!
