Does anyone know how many calories are in a Yummy Sushi roll? I have looked and looked and can't find anything that would even give me an idea. Thanks!

Sushi- Yummy Roll
MissMelissa replied to MissMelissa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YUMMY ROLL (8pc) Spicy imitation crab & shrimp, whole roll is deep fried . -
I have no clue what’s going on with my band. Some days my band is perfectly fine and others it so tight I can’t eat. This keeps happening to me and every time I go get an unfill it feels like I have nothing in my band. They are just adding the smallest amount but the same thing keeps happening over and over. I have no clue what to do…. This happen to anyone else?

Wii fit…. You should check it out. It's pretty fun and you can set up your own workout. It kicked my butt today. :thumbup:

I don’t know what going on. I have been stuck going from 194-198 for a month and a half. I have been great on my diet eating around 1400 calories a day (what the doctor told me) and exercising 5-6 times a week 30-40mins each time. My fills are great and I can feel the restriction. I'm just sick of eating right and exercising and nothing happening. What should I do? :devil_smile:

Does puking always scare you?

You call your doctor and he/she will give you meds to stop you from throwing up. -
Not Sure What To Think
MissMelissa replied to kellykimba's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have to be careful that you are still eating the right amount. Eating to little can slow down weight loss. I'm 5'7 195lbs and 24 years old and I must eat 1400 calories a day or my body will go into starvation mode and hold and store all the food you eat. It's just as important not to eat to little as it is to eating too much. Find out what you should be eating a day. -
How do people on The Biggest Loser lose so much weight?
MissMelissa replied to LapNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
"I'm currently exercising a good deal and taking in about 800 calories a day" I'm 5'7 and my doctor told me I will lose more weight by eating 1400 calories a day then eating 800. -
6cc no restriction !!!!!!!
MissMelissa replied to riggs99's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Doctor told me that most people have around 8cc to get restriction. I had no restriction at 8cc but couldn’t eat with 9cc. It's crazy how little can do so much. I'm at 8 1/2 cc and Its perfect. Trust me I was where you are just give it another fill. -
Victory!! ONEderland feels wonderful
MissMelissa replied to kyleegirl01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YAY! Go you. Only 2lbs till I'm there with you. CAN'T WAIT!! -
My fill on the 8th went great… well not at first. I went in and he gave me another cc and I couldn’t eat anything. I went from being able to eat whatever to not being able to eat at all. It's crazy how much 1cc can make such a big difference. I went back in and they took out 2/3s of the 1cc and I have been great. The band is actually working the way I hear people talk about finally. How did your fill go on the 6th?

Help...i have an obsession
MissMelissa replied to nurseab24's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My scale was SO mean this morning. Yesterday I was 202. This morning I pull the scale out and it says 200! I'm like omg sooo close to being under 200!!! So thinking to myself I want to see the scale go to 199 so I'm getting naked…. I get naked get back on the scale and its says 203. WTF! I just kind of had to laugh not much else I could do. I'm like you I have to weigh everyday even thought I know I shouldn’t because when you don’t' see that it has not gone down a little in 3 days it messes with your head even thou you are losing weight on a steady pace. -
Left Sx with an empty band
MissMelissa replied to BLKsAunt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc fills the band half way up. -
This happen to anyone else?
MissMelissa replied to MissMelissa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Damn. Now sure what I'm going to do. They put me at an 8.5 lat time and I could not eat so then took me down to a 8 and I thought it was perfect. It was just odd. Today has been fine so far but its only 9:15… lol. It just felt like I was starving not just hungry. :thumbup: -
I got a fill on Monday and everything has been GREAT! This was the first time I really felt restriction and was thinking I found my sweet spot. I have been staying full from meal to meal and not having to eat a ton to get full. I have only been eating around 1100 calories a day since the fill which I was excited about. Now today all the sudden I am so hungry I just want to eat everything. What’s going on? I have been fighting it all day. If it’s like this every day for the week I know I will break and eat something bad. Anyone ever gone thru something like this?

After first fill 3.2oz in 10oz band
MissMelissa replied to affengirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think my doctor is aggressive with fills…. when he bands you he puts 5cc in from the start. He told me the average person has 8cc in there band to be at a good restriction. -
My 1st and 2nd fill did nothing at all. Then I went in for my 3rd and they only put in 1cc and I couldn’t get anything down. Its crazy how only 1cc can make you go from no restriction to not getting anything down. I went back in to get an unfill and they took 1/2cc out and it’s been PERFECT! I was feeling so down like I would never get there and now I'm there and it is GREAT!!! Trust me stay on top of your fills and you will get there. It’s just as important to not be over filled as it is to be under filled.

Did I make the right decision?
MissMelissa replied to sweeteebls's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not going to lie the next 3 months are going to suck. You're going to question everything. Did I do the right thing, is this going to work for me, I don’t think I will ever get restriction let alone to my sweet spot. Trust me you WILL get there! You have to do the dirty work of banster hell. BUT once you get thru it…. Its divine on the other side! -
Ya you need to go back in and get some out. asap. Just think maybe when they take a little out you'll be at your sweet spot. Thats what happened for me. :thumbup:
-
I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. I get to go in for another fill today and I hope this one helps. My last fill on the 8th of this month didn?t do anything. I can still eat and eat with no problems. I have not lost anymore weight but on the positive side I have not gained any either. I was reading some post OP Discussion boards and I came across one titled The Difference .75cc Makes and it made me fill a little better about everything and I thought it might do the same for you so if you get a free moment you should check it out.

Getting Scared and a little Sad
MissMelissa posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do some people never really reach a good restriction? I know I have only had one fill but I can still eat anything and a lot of it. When she went to go fill my band she said it was already filled half way so now I’m REALLY scared. I seen people saying that all the can eat is half a cup of food. Is it this possible for everyone to get to this point? -

I wonder why he has only done 5 fills over 6 months. -
Getting Scared and a little Sad
MissMelissa replied to MissMelissa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow. Your story lsprrnbr kind of scares me more. How many fills have you gotten? Banded in August and your doctor has not found restriction yet. When I went in for my fill on Monday they did set me up for my following 3 fills (every other Monday for 6 weeks) :blushing: -
It took a while but...
MissMelissa replied to delfinajones's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
