WOW i have restriction ........... yay!!!

okay i just logged on and i think it's gonna take me a minute to get use too!!

Well pretty much back on track lost the 5 pounds i gained. i been busting my @ss and eating right, so i think i will make my appointment. I just felt stupid one time i went i believe it was my second fill i gained like two pounds i think i was also my monthly period and he made me feel stupid.... doc said "Whats going on you know this is just a tool you can't depend on it" so yeah i just wanted to smack him.... but that is why i feel stupid... lol but i think it's about that time i make my appointment.... i will let you know how it goes...

Hey you!!! How great is that, good for you!! As for myself i been busting my ass working out and it seems i cant get the scale to move so just trying to hang in there. My good eating habits is back on track, although i have no restriction and i am kind of embarrased to go and get a fill ( because i gained a few pound since my last fill).... so I am trying on my own to lose those pounds only 5 pounds but its a B@#$% i tell you, anyway my mind is right so i am doing it..... glad to hear from you keep in touch. i been on here more offen too just to keep motivated, by the way i seen your pics you look great keep up the good job =)

Thank you so much for the inspiration i been on it working out and all. I just have to just work on my patience!!!

i have a ? so what do your meals look like though out your day if you don't mind me asking??

I think i am just going to break down and walk the hall of shame and go to my doctors to get a fill. I have gotten three fills and i still can eat like a whole chicken breast so i know i have no restriction i know i have to do my part to and i do do it for the most part but i get hungry like two hours later I just don't want to be told " don't depend on the band it is just a tool" cause i know all of this stuff ....... i guess i don't want to look a like loser you know to the doctors!!! i know what i will do i am just gonna go in there with an attitude so they won't tell me shit!!! lol jk not at all like that. Well 2nd week that i been working out and stuff so i will be good........ ttyl

I was banded APril 23 2010 ........ i am only down 30 pounds.

It has been very frustrating, that i kind fell out of wack with my eating habits that is why i decided to get back on this site to gets some motivation.... and looking at other peoples pages because it does help and it reminds me to get my ass in gear...... so i will keep in touch cause looking at your pictures is truly an inspiration.... =)

OMGEEES I know what you mean i am a slow loser too, and yes very frustrating... total weight loss since i started this journey i am only down 30 pounds. ..... i am back on the site because it gives me more motivation.... to be honest with you i have no restriction at all and i am kind of embarrassed to go and get a fill because i have not lost any weight since Aug. i keep telling myself that i have to do this on my own before i go get another fill.

thanks for the friend request... i just want to say you look amazing!!! This journey has been so hard (regarding my relationship with food) how did you get through it all i can sure use some tips......

I know, it is nice to have the support from some of these peeps. So how long ago did did you get banded?

Thanks for the request.. I was looking at your pictures you look great!!

hello, just stopping by to say hi and to see how you are doing.. I just notice you were banded a day before me. How is your progress going? For me not so well but i am back on doing what i am suppose to be doing i admit it is a tough journey... hope to hear from you.. =)

Well it's going very slow and it is so frustrating for me that i kind found myself falling back into my old habits, it's not good when you have no restriction. I just have to sort out the issue of the brain and reprogram myself to get back into the grove you know what i mean?

It's a tough journey, but i am proud to say that i have now a week since i been working out and eating right. I am actually happy that i didn't gain all the weight back before i noticed and felt horrable.........So yeah i been on it hopefully i don't stop!! I am glad to here you doing well let me know how your first fill goes.... ttyl

Hello there so you have been banded a little over a month now ........ how did it go for you?

I am also sorry to hear about your loss =( yeah it is very tough!!! I also lost a parent (my father) 8 years ago on December 26th........ That was the toughest for me lossing my dad we were very close and till this day it feels just like just yesterday. It took me 5 years to except his death.... SMH!!! I will also keep you in my prayers....

Currently I am at a stand still with weight loss my surgery date was in April and I’ve had 3 fills I have a little restriction but not much, I do try to stick to the right foods but at the same time I feel I don't eat enough and that is why I haven’t lost weight for the passed 2 months I am just going with the flow trying not to stress about it cause when I do then I end giving up on myself.

So how are you doing with the weight loss and when did you get surgery? Now that I told you enough or even more than you wanted to hear about me!!!

Anyway losing weight has always been a struggle of mine for years... LAP-BAND?? was a thought in my mind for a about couple months before my sister passed away although at the time I was losing weight pretty good on my own. After she passed a way I kind of gave up on myself and gained back 20lb real quick. My highest weight ever was 247 take it I am only 5ft 2? tall (yeah a lot of weight for someone as short as me) this was from Aug to Dec. at that point I said to myself enough is enough! I called and made my appointment for 1-5-10 I weighed in at 223. So now after my 3 months and surgery I am down to 200.

Sorry to hear about your little brother.. 6 years I bet it still feels like just yesterday. He was so young as well, I believe that is the hardest trying to understand why their life was cut so short for them.

As you can tell I miss her so much I must say work has been really really hard to be at, but I guess dying is a part of life we may not understand it and we may fuss about it, but the way she lived life it kind of taught me so much and she would always say don't sweat the small stuff life is too short, and remember P (P short for my name) do what you can with what you got!! That was her advice all the time to me if I’d worry about anything. She was just so different it really is unexplainable. Well to honor her on her death anniversary we had a mass for her and went to her garden as my daughters like to call it and let balloons go up in the air in her memory... Talking about her really helps!!! Thank you for listening or reading i should say!

We were really very close but we were also so different she was a very out going happy go lucky type of kid, she was truly loved by so many people!!

She and I both worked together. I been at my job for 10 years now, and she was at her job for 5. It was so funny because me being at my job for that long when we would go to lunch together I knew hardly anyone cause all you'll get is a smile from me and her on the other hand she just seem to know everyone, and talk with anyone. I would make fun of her at times because of it, I'd tell her "OMG Jojo it wouldn't surprise me if you even stop and say hi to the dam stray dogs" lol

Thank you!! getting through that day wasn't so hard of course being with all my family helped!! I have 4 sisters and 1 brother she was the youngest only 27 years old she was very young she passed away unexpectically... I can't help not talking about her. She was that type of person that really left a stamp in your heart and was so full of life, very beautiful, So FUNNY, I swear she would light up a room; she didn't like to see anyone down in the dumps at all. She had something about her that she knew how to make everyone feel good about themselves, was never a judgmental person. Now to me not just because she was my sister, but she was one of a kind!
