Check this forum link out: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f13/how-many-ccs-restriction-14cc-52373/ I have 11.4 cc in my 14 cc band and I have good restriction..for now...:thumbup:

Ok I am in for my first weight loss challenge!! :wub: I am in for 15 lbs. Time to kick some pumpkin butt!!

Join Fitday.com it is great!!:wub:

Hey, that is a great Idea!!

I so agree with you.

Bump for newbies:thumbup:

There is a new biggest loser contestant that had the lap-band surgery. I wonder what is her story?? :thumbup: Check the link: Montina - Contestants - The Biggest Loser - NBC Site

I just ate two buttermilk pancakes this morning (9:30) from IHOP, some substitute eggs and 2 pieces of turkey bacon. I had absolutely no problems. :bored: Now, It is 1:15 pm and I am still full... :smile: Dry Fish like tuna always give me trouble.

You never go wrong with eating a salad.

I love hot and sour soup!!

I drink two 16 oz Protein shakes per day. I use the 100% natural whey protein from BuyBulkWhey.com. It has No artificial flavors, No artificial colors, No artificial sweeteners and No MSG. The powder has NO taste to me. So it so easy to add any flavoring to my homemade smoothies. Here is my sample recipe: 2 scoops of pure whey protein 2 cups of soy milk (any flavor) 1 cups of strawberries (or any fruits) 3 packets of Truvia sweetner

Well I am up to 11.4 cc's now. :thumbup: I hope this is it for a while.

I wonder there is a recommended height, when working with the ARC trainers? I am 6'1, so my legs are pretty long.:thumbup:

Great, let me know how it feels to you?

Have anyone tried the Arc trainers?? I found it better than the regular elliptical. It is less stress on my knees, plus burn twice the calories .

Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home Linda's Low Carb Recipes are great!!

Congratulation on your 100bls lost!!! I agree with you about being frustrated. I think 11.2 will be my magic number , my hubby is betting with me. ..lol

Great Idea: Craving Clarity Check it out!!

I made sure that NONE of my pre band weight will NEVER come back ( I lost 30 bls before the band). After I got the band I still can eat anything, so focus on making better food choices and started walking.:thumbup:

buybulkwhey.com: Bulk Whey Protein Powder on sale! Is the best for me, it taste great. $11.98 for 1 pound of Whey!! :thumbup:

Hey Jldchester, Congratulation on your 6 pounds!! Things are going a little slow for me...(bad eating habits :thumbup:) I will getting another fill next week. I heard from another thread that on a 14cc band the average person hits the sweet spot at 11 to 11.5cc. What do you think?

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f13/how-many-ccs-restriction-14cc-52373/index13.html This is great thread to check out. I have 10.8 cc in my 14 cc band, so every one is different. I feel real good, but still I have control myself at the dinner table. I will getting another fill next week. I hope I will hit the sweet spot at 11 cc.

DaChanginQueen, I so agree with you. Slow and steady wins the race. I was 409.81 when I had the surgery. Now I am at 355 !! With the band, it is all about lifestyle change. Unlike with the bypass, I still can have my carbs (from time to time) and don't get sick . :tt2:
