I have fallen off the wagon so badly:cursing:. But thats okay I am not going to beat myself up over it. I will go get a fill this week and GET things going again. I have lost 50 lbs so far and I would love to lose another 30 - 40 lbs. I haven't been to workout in over a month...... Hubby has been in the hospital . But you can bet I WILL be working out starting Monday. I just needed to vent a little !!!!! Good luck to everyone and remember don't beat yourself up over a little slip just start right back where you stopped.......

thanks every one for your help.

I need a little help . I am looking for some Protein recipes on line. Someone had them on here awhile back but I can't remember where I found them. and also does any one know how many carbs, fats and cal. you should have a day? I went for my 3rd fill and Im still loseing (slowly) but thats OK just as long as the scales don't go the other way. Im down 31 lbs. woooo hoooooo

Well I was banded 11-12-09. I have had 2 fills ,have a 10cc band and Im at 5cc now. I watch what I eat and work out 4 days a week. Everything seems to be going good. Im down from 215 to 184. The doctor said I was loseing at the right rate. What Im not to sure is how much fats , carbohydrates, and calories you are suppose to have a day. How much is to much or to little? Any help will be great. Thanks. Good luck to everyone!!!!

I really need some one to help me with putting a WL ticker-tape on my profile. If you would ,I need step by step on how to put it on profile. I have my pic on here and even got the ticker-tape on one of my post but don't ask me how I did it. It is so crazy, I can do it one time but not the next. Thanks everyone for the help!!!!!!

WOW !!!! that is great , I hope I can be down 50 lbs when I hit 2 1/2 months. I just need to stay OFF the scale , I get on it every morning. ( I know I know STOP!!!!) But the thing is I don't really get upset if it don't move. But I do get excited if it does!!! I was banded 11-12-09. Good luck keep up the good work!!!!

I don't want to sound mean or cold hearted... but I see people on here saying they can't be around people eating food , well this is life it is going to be here and you need to just get used to it. Just tell yourself NO !! I know it is very hard but you can do it , you did it at first and now you can keep doing it. Just belive in yourself . I have a long way to go myself, but I would never stop cooking for my husband or have him to eat in another room. That would be like putting on blinders for the rest of your life. That's life and we just have to adjust to it. We may lose 10 lbs and then gain 1 or 2 lbs back but just look ahead and Never look back. I am so sorry if I sound cold hearted. I am very proud of every one on here .

I went for my first fill. Well let me start with ..... I weighed 215 when I first started , I was band on 11-12-09 weighing 200 at that time. Today I weighed 192 .....man it's been years sense I had see below 200. Well back to the fill , it wasn't that bad.I had 2cc in the band and they added 2cc today. I feel good. I have to do liquids for 2 days then 1 day soft, then reg. food. My doctortold me if I think I need another fill befor the time come , then just call and they will do another fill. He said I was the only one that would know if the band was working. ......It has been 5 weeks and I can't wait to see how I do the next 4 weeks!! I was proud and had to let everyone on here know how I did.

Frist I wuld like say ...WAY TO GO GIRL:thumbup: Not ento months and your down 46 lbs. I was band Nov. 12th and I m down about 23 lbs. I don't think u did any harm , just don't kick yourself. We all fall off the wagon sometimes. Just tell your self that OK that was just a little stumble and I can do this . Hek if you can lose 46 lbs. in that short of time then you don't have any thing to worry about. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!! and congrats:thumbup:

I have tried so many protein powders and the one that I like the best is the unjury. The vanilla is sooo good. They have sample packs so you can try . It is alot better than spending a lot of money on something that you can't drink. And they ship it quick to. Just stick with it and you will be so proud of yourself . Just go to unjury.com

wow you look great!!!! just wait till another 6 mo goes by. you are doing so good keep up the good work!!!!!

yes it was the liver > He is doing good. I say good as we speak he is here at the hospital , because his liver numbers are up a little they just want to check him out. Now as for me I m doing real good. I hurt a little after the surgery but by day 3 it was nothing. I m on ful liquids right now and I go to mushie food on thanksgiving day.....yea for me. I guess I just have it in my head I really want to do this so it's not so hard . I know you will do what your heart says to do. Don't worry if the surgeons say it OK to do this then I would . I have been overweight for almost 33 years and I was sooooo ready for it. Good luck to you and let me know what you do.

Hey ConB113 my husband just had a transplant may2009 and he is doing so well. Have you talked to you liver doctor yet? (I'm sure you have) I know my husband was on Prednisone and they say it will make you gain weight. Is your liver doctor on you to lose the weight ? I know they told us that it would be very hard on my husband if they had to open him up for anything else. Where did you have your transplant done? My husbad had it done in Houston Tx. at Methodist hospital. Sorry don't mean to focus on your transplant. It just amazes me your liver doctor says it is OK. If you do go on with having the lap-band I do wish you all the luck. I just had the lap-band done on nov. 12th . I know if you can go through the transplant you can go through this!!Good Luck and let me know how you did!!!!!!
