hi all. i want to join this challenge. how do i do that?

I love your quote in green.

hello everyone. i have posted a few posts but i have not introduced myself. my name is Diana and i am married 9 1/2 years with to beautifully children. Julie 7 and Steven 6. i have always been overweight but in 1995 things changed for me and i gained 140 pounds in one year. this is where i have been for the past 13 years. I have been thinking about the lap band for years and in June something made me pick up the phone and find a Dr. i was banded on sept 4th of this year and it was the best decision i have ever made. i had my first fill in Oct. they put in 3cc but had to take out 1cc because it was to much. i am looking forward to my next fill om Nov 16th. The other people in the office making there appointment asked me if i was sure if i wanted to get a fill so close to Thanksgiving and I said yes. they said that i am very brave to do that and i told them that i am just serious about making this work. look at me this is what 34 Thanksgivings have given me. and i don't want it anymore. I look forward to talking to all of you and getting your tips of keeping going.

You have done so well if such a short time. I am doing well but I know that I could be doing better. I have not had bread or junk in months but i am having a hard time with other carbs. Pasta and potato's is my downfall. If I could just cut out a little bit of this I could be doing better. I want to be down 60 by dec 31st. I have 24 to go. I was banded on sept 4th and I am so proud of what I have down already. Another thing I need to do is log my food. I have no idea how many calories I am having in a day. I have been walking a good walk 3 to 4 times a week for 2 months now for 45 min. I am not sure if that is even helping though.

Could you share some of your secrets. what do you eat in a day and do you exercise? I have a goal and would love to be able to meet it.

I would love to know what you eat and do in a day of your life. I want to loose 60 by Dec 31st.

I just wanted to say wtg and good luck. bet thing i have ever done besides marring my husband and having 2 beautiful kids.

my understanding is that there are 2 bands you can get that are lap band. you can get the 10cc or there is another on that is bigger. i am not sure of the cc's though. i thought that a 10cc band would hold 10cc. you might want to just give a call to your Dr and ask again.

Hi all. I have been so good about candy in my house. I have had NONE. Not even a lick. But I feel like my will power is going away. I feel like I am making up for it in other places. I feel hungry all the time. But not growling hunger in the belly pains but brain hunger pains. I just want to eat all the time. I was wondering if it might be time for me to go and get another fill. I am not going till Nov. 16th but I was thinking that maybe I should go sooner. I feel like I am eating so much and all the time.

Congrats on you success. sounds like you are doing great. I was also banded on the 4th. I feel like i do not have any restrictions. But I am keeping a very good eye on my intake.... Congrats again.

I had my first fill on Thursday. I was so excited for it because i was eating up to 2 cups 3 times a day. I could not wait for my first fill and to eat less and start loosing again. My fill was ok. It did not hurt. They put in 3cc's and I was having chest pains and they took out 1cc. so i have 2 cc's in a 10cc band. That night I was just feeling ok. I could not eat more than 4 tablespoons of soup. the next day I was very sluggish and not feeling to good. But now here I am 4 days out of my first fill and I am nervous. I am back to eating a 3/4 or a whole cup at a time. I am wondering if I did not get enough fill and why I am not feeling restrictions. If I stick with the 1/2 cup I get very hungry to soon. Is this normal?

what is this whole you are talking about?

i have tried to get myself on this list for a month and a half. what am i doing wrong? if someone could add me that would be great or tell me how to do it. thank you so much Nailpro00 (Diana) 9/4/09

Ty for your reply and so fast too. I did have to drink and that is when they decided to take out a little fill. I had to do liquids for that night and then mushy yesterday and today i was bad to regular foods. I had 4 meals today. 1/4 cup chicken Soup with patina 3/4 cup mashed potato's with chicken in it. 2/3 cup refried Beans 1 cup steamed chicken and broc. i am not sure about my Protein and cal. Are you using and on line program to help you count that? I get full with my meals. I am just not staying full for more then 2 to 3 hours.

Hi all. I have been reading all your posts on getting your first fills. You all are so helpfull. I had mine on Thursday and it did not hurt. they put in 3cc and had to take out 1cc because i was having chest pains. I felt a little crappy that night and the next day. I think i was just stressed out over getting my first adjustment. The problem that i am having is i was feeling restrictions that first night after my fill and the next day but today I am not feeling it to much. I mean I am feeling it but it is not lasting. I am eating between 4 and 6oz and after 2 or 3 hours I am hungry again. Very Hungry. Is anyone else having this issue? Can anyone give any suggestions? I am making very good food choices and walking at least 2 miles 5 times a weeks.

good morning all. I am 6 weeks out today and had my first fill yesterday. they put in 3cc but had to take 1 out because it was to much. for dinner last night i had 3 tablespoons of clear chicken soup and was very satisfied. i was hungry 3 hrs later but did not want to eat at 9:30 at night so i went to bed.

sounds like you are doing great. i lost 5 before my surgery and 13 in the first week after. in the 2nd week i lost 8 and then i started to get into real food and gained 3. i am in week 5 and and lost nothing for 3 weeks. this week i managed to loose the 3 i gained and a pound. so it sounds like you are doing great. i get my first adjustment on thurs and i am really looking forward to it.

I was wondering if anyone else is having pain in there port area. this is going on about a day and a half.

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has a refried beans recipe. The canned has so much sodium in them and I want to make the fat free with less sodium. I have searched on line but I am not coming up with much. In fact the ripes that I have found is loaded with sodium.

The breathing exercises were to breath deep. take in at a slowly as much as you can and then let it out. 10 times an hour.

You are exhausted because of the Anastasia. Make sure you do you breathing exercises to fill your lungs with air and let out. Anastasia hardens your lungs and we need to keep doing the breathing exercises to expand them and get them back to normal. This is what my Dr told me.

Good luck. bring us back good news.
