Im getting a fill in a month. Lost motivation. Down 75.

thanks for all the replies. I believe im going to try the oatmeal and banana route. My Dr. suggested those as well I will give the gel a chance. im figuring im about 3hour runner for the half. so ill need to try it. The race is in January, phx, AZ So it will be nice out. im very intimadated but i tihnk i can do it. im still 195 pounds but i was 290. so to even imagine wanting to do this a year ago was a joke!!!! But i watched my boss train for the san deigo rock and roll one and she suggested i try it, i figured that will help me get the last 50 or so pounds off.

I am running a half marathon in january. I know you need to eat a lot of complex carbohydrates for energy, particularly the night before the race. However i can't eat pasta, ice, bread, ect. So im open to suggestions from anyone who has ran long distance with a active Lap-Band.

sounds like it is too tight... r u getting any reflux?

ive been in that boat and am just getting out of it. Try foods that are high in protein. Baked chicken, shrimp, fish ect. Also fills help! :scared2:

I love Muscle Milk Light!

I've fallen off the wagon more than once. I'm not saying it is a good thing!! But it happens. Just pick yourself up and do extra cardio this week to balance it out One thing that helps me stay accountable for what i put in my mouth :smile: Is a food journal. Try it for a week. Just write everything you eat and drink. It helps with good decision making as well as good portions!

I've lost 25 pounds so far and just had my first fill :bored:

i was banded on 8/6 and am 26. So far i've lst 30 but gained 5 when i got onto solid food again lol. I'm not freaking though it's a process :thumbup: I love my band and it fits into my social life just as long as we don't go eat Italian :crying: Keep it up everyone.

Hello, I was banded on Aug 6th and feel the same. Your band is not restrictive (no fill yet). Good job one only eating the amount you're suppose too. Over eating now can stetch the pouch and cause the band to slip. You will notice more when you have a fill. Right now we are in "bandster hell" We can only eat a little and with no restriction we are not full. Keep it up a few more weeks before your fill i assume :thumbup:

thanks i went with county fried steak yeah i know no fried foods lol. To justify it i only had 5 bites :thumbup:

I am three weeks post-op and cleared for chili. I would like to put some crackers in it.. would this be ok? I would ask my dr. but it's past business hours.

Sounds like the flu i'm sick right now too:p

did you ask your Dr.? That's what I'd do next.
