I am so sorry for your loss! Maybe now that you are losing even more weight, your pregnancy chances will continue to increase. :thumbup:

Yesterday I got back from a 3 wk vacation/cruise. I gained 4 lbs and was very disappointed in myself. But, I got my first fill today and I hope it will help me get back on track. I hope everyone has been doing well. I will take time to read everyone's posts and blogs soon. bye for now

Gen, Congrats on reaching your first goal. You are going to be into Onederland before you know it. Keep going!

Soco? Are you sure he said 1cc? Seems like most on here are getting anywhere from 3-5cc... Did you have some fill put in at time of your surgery? Good luck!

Welcome to the Sexy Septembers and Congrats on losing 28lbs! That is awesome!:sneaky: I found the thread, thank you for sharing your experience. I noticed star is feeling a great deal of restriction, how about you? Gen, I managed to live on liquids for a month, but I was still hungry. I didn't take away the hunger. Maybe it will jump start your loss again. I know that I am just plain stuck and I keep trying to repeat to myself ...this is a lifelong committment...this is a marathon...etc. etc. Sometimes it works, most times not :thumbup: Kimberlyann, we were banded around the same date, I don't feel that tightness anymore, it went away around the 2nd week, but everyone is different. When is your first fill scheduled?

You could be talking about me! I am also stuck at 20 lbs. :cursing:I won't get a fill until Nov 9th. I am also doing the exercise, it doesn't seem to be helping the scale, but I feel much better and more energy. :thumbup:

Soco, I'm with ya girlie! I haven't gained but I have been stalled with the same 2 lbs for 2 wks. I have to wait all the way to nov 9th for my fill because I will be outa town. At this point I would be happy just not to gain :thumbup:

Tell us how your first fill went! I see they had to take some out? How is your hunger etc?:thumbup: My weightloss has stalled at 20 lbs for 2 wks now.

Good to hear from you Amanda, I started back to work yesterday also. I am trying not to buy any clothes, just wearing my old ones even though they are very loose. Maybe I will buy a couple things for the upcoming Holidays. I am really wanting to wait till I am at least 3 sizes. I think by then I will have no choice, my old ones will be around my ankles

B chocolate protein shake s L grilled salmon & veggies s D baked chicken (no skin) & one sm piece baked garlic bread s 100 cal. ice cream sandwich

Karkies, Your banding date is getting very close, good luck. Blogging is great therapy :thumbup:

Whenever I feel like I am slipping, I read my co-bander's blogs and I realize we have all gone through that same thing at one time or another. Keeps me focused :thumbup:

Thanks Janet, I will definately have to plan ahead for outings, I guess it's going to take me some time to get used to it. Today I am back to eating healthy and hoping my screw up will not affect my scale too badly...I don't want to have to eat differently than everyone else @ family function, I don't think that is realistic either :sad:

Our weightloss with LapBand is not as quick as it is with those who have bypass, It is totally conceivable that diet and exercise would do it. Honestly we are doing 90% of the work, the only the band does for us is to keep us feeling full, everything else, we are doing for ourselves. I am with you, Only 2 people in my life know, my husband and my sister, I intend to keep it that way.

Today I am 3wks post op and Yesterday I had the most challenging day I have had since being banded. I attended a birthday party 90mins from home. It was held at one of those children party centers and I failed horribly. I started out doing ok, I had a healthy breakfast. I was told there was a little concession stand so I figured I could find something semi-healthy. WRONG! Only food there were hot dogs, nachos, white bread sandwiches loaded with mayo. I did buy some water and tried sipping it all day. We left home at 10am and now it's 2pm and I'm starving. Finally all my willpower died and ate 8 *1/4* finger sandwiches, which in itself wouldn't have been entirely bad, but of course I let myself have a piece of birthday cake, granted it was a smaller piece than I normally would have taken. I did no exercises yesterday either. I beat myself up about overeating the entire 90 min. drive home, skipped dinner, took a xanax and went to sleep. I was miserable. How the hell am I going to make it through an upcoming 3wk trip incl a cruise, if I cannot control myself at a one day outing? I am so angry at myself, I could just scream :sad::cursing::sad:

Remember this is not a diet, its a lifestyle change and you need to try to make good choices, everything else will take care of itself, good luck! Gen, you are doing so fantastic! will you get another fill in about a month or so?:thumbup: welcome to Sexy Septembers! I think you are losing pretty much that same as me. What type of exercising are you doing? You are also doing quite well, 24 pounds! Have you been able to get rid of any clothing from your closet that doesn't fit yet?

I totally agree, cold turkey is the way for me now too. It would be too easy to fall back into old habits.

I am not pleased with my choices yesterday and I vow to do better today!
