Soexcited

February 14, 2010 Breakfast: Coffee & milk, Banana Snack:1 bite of my son's pizza crust Vitamin water Lunch: Filet mignon stew & 1 tablespoon of mashed potato Dinner: 5oz meat loaf 2 tablespoons cottage cheese 2 broccoli florets with cheese sauce. Joe....you are eating like nothing! Are the pounds falling off? I ate dinner 2 hours ago and I feel like I could eat again ............is it head hunger or food hunger??????????????????

I am loosing SUPER slow as well! I was banded 11/25/09 so in 2 1/2 months I have lost 15 pounds (lost the rest according to my ticker pre op). It's very hard...we just have to hang tight! It will come off! slow yes because we did not get bypass or sleeve so it's not fast but hopefully it will be LIFE LONG!

Love crock pot food. Also love McCormic Crock Pot packs (about a dollar at the grocery store) add one cup of water to ANY big hunk of meat (I have done leg of lamb, filet mignon roast) and turn it on low. The meat comes out super flakey and moist, pork would be good too! LOVE my slow cooker crock pot!

You are so sweet! Thank you!

I am looking for a charm bracelet! I'd like the first charm to be the $ sign as we paid cash, its a hard one to find.

Oh God so I am not the only one with panty issues!

New undies! Mee toooooo! I am going to hold out a bit longer the ones I like are pricey!

Joe....so are you full after your meals? I have been so hungry the past few days.

Hmmm I am 5"8 1/2 as well and now in a size 16 I have not noticed a thing ??? Maybe because I am super in love with my husband I dont see it? Wishfull thinking maybe.

I agree....age has a LOT to do with it! I have gained and lost a lot over the last 20 years and it was way faster 20 years ago, and easier even without the band. I aslo agree about the lower bmi .... Regardless it comes off quicker in the beginning and slower in the end.

I didnt "treat" myself to anything but I was SUPER happy when it happened. I intend to treat myself when I am a true size 14 .... gonna go buy me some new clothes! I am in a true 16 now and so happy not to have to even go into the "womens" departments anymore!

Starting sizes: Pants 26/28 Tops 3/4X This was the biggest ... my 310 days. Current sizes: Pants 16 Tops XL/1X I feel: so much better but I also feel FLABBY I need to work on: exercise cardio & toning

I think I need another fill.

I LOVE this thread!! It's awesome! Seeing what other people are eating heps put things into perspective!! February 10, 2010 woke up hungry Coffee & milk Greek no fat plain yogurt & a cup of blueberries Piece of salmon ate it, still hungry. No sliming everything is going down great today. 40g protein bar so super yummy I wanted to eat 2! Still hungry. 3.30 now and trying to hold out with no snack till we get to dinner…still hungry. A few slices of cheese, 2 pieces of baguette with homemade mayo on it. Spaghetti & home made tomato sauce (very light). Felt full after the spaghetti but never too full, no sliming nothing today. It’s 8pm now and I am hungry again! So I had a cup of fat free pudding.

Yup my tummy seems to be the last to go :rolleyes2: but maybe 30 more pounds it will be bone...who knows!

So far! Breakfast: Greek yogurt & blueberries Lunch: Peice of salmon

Way to go Mello! 50 is AMAZING! I am loosing slower but I am excited because today I hit 40 pounds lost! WhooooHooooooooo! It's gonna be a great day!

Ya I agree elphie, I forget about it too....so you are at 8.5 wow....how big is your band again?

I would think that these would be BAD for us with such small poutches now. They are supposed to be for a regualr stomach.

Todd! Great! let us know how it goes and how much more they give you.

Yes my doctor told me I was pre menopausal before my lap band. My periods are VERY irregular and bad.....very heavy and often. I have had all of the tests and biopsy's to rule out real problems it's just menopause for me. It does effect my eating for sure. I crave sweets and carbs just before my period however the "hunger" seems to have passed after my 3rd fill. I am at 5.5 in a 10cc band and I feel tight about 70% of the time.

Hello! Wow this thread is sure quiet. I'd love to hear from ALL our November friends...hows everyone doing?? I am OK ... loosing very slow but still loosing and I am OK with it! I feel better now than I have in a very long time, Im excited to reach the 40 pounds lost mark...I am not far away!! When I hit 50 pounds lost I'm going to have myself a little party!

Alien....When I was in college I was under my parents insurance as long as I was enrolled in university .... I was 18 when I graduated from high school and after a year off to travel was in school again for 8 years.....so I was 27 when I got off their insurance. Oni is just going from her/his own experience I am sure but for me I could have been 40 and covered as long as I was going to full time university/college.

OK thanks, just wondering due to the school comment. When I was 24 I would have never dreamed of having a surgery without first running it by my parents. Everyone is different I know that, my parents and I have always been super close. My 2 cents....you are young I would tell my parents. Someone in your family needs to know what you have done so if there ever is a complication / problem they know. God forbid you are out (in a coma or something bad .... worse case senario obviously) your parents will be making decisions for you and need to know so they can make the right choices for you.

Hey! You lost 5 more pounds! Congrats!!!
