    Finally I made it to onderland, this morning I weighed 198.8 lbs :thumbup:. I was banded March 19, 2010 and my starting weight was 246lbs. I hit a plateau for 3 weeks:thumbdown: and decided to do strict low carb (around 20 carbs) last week and stayed around 1000 cals dropped 5 lbs in six days...woot woot!! I will continue for 1 more week and then up my carbs to 30 or 40 a day. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow! how soon we forget how much to eat. I received my second fill on August 10th and it kicked in 2 weeks later, I was eating way to much and to fast before the fill but was still losing around a pound a week...I was still eating a good amount but was feeling so gassy and bloated after meals and would burp for hours:eek:. I went to the forum to get some insight and many of you said if you are feeling this way you have eaten to much and to fast, I then started listening to my body again because I was ignoring the signals... at first I was a little mad:mad2: because I was eating refried beans and queso and could only eat 3oz and it was so good but I was getting full after one little burp I knew I should stop:ohmy:. With all of that being said I am back on track with portion sizes and know how important it is to keep getting fills so it will keep us in check.:scared2: I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello LAP-BAND® family, all I can say is that I really love my band:biggrin:. I was banded on March 19th and am down 21 lbs including 7 lbs pre-op:thumbup:. I feel great everyday and am so amazed at how I can eat 1/2 to 3/4 cups of food at a time and am satisfied. I am eating around 900-1100 calories a day. I use to live to eat and now I eat to live.
