I am so glad I read your post, I am hungry all the time a reach for slider foods quickly, I am going to try to up my Protein and see what that does. I am at a plateau just hit my 10 month . Since December I have only lost 5 lbs. I guess I need to get back to the basics from when I was first banded.

Just saw your update as I have not logged on in months, I have only lost 5 pounds since Christmas and have been sliding back to old habits. I decided that I would start reading on thi ssight at least once a week and maybe get excited again.

Thank you, It has been 3 weeks between my fills, I am not sure if they will give it to me as I was told with my first fill that they do not always do a fill on the checks ups. I was surprised that they waited so long to do my post op, I have that as well tomorrow. And yes, I did have fun. I just need to learn to have fun without so much damage.

Wonderful you are doing so good. That is great that your husband will work out with you.

I agree there is always botox.

I hear confession is good for the soul. This was my second holiday since being banded on May 17th . Well I have slink back to my old habits. Hot sauce and chips and mexican food, dessert with dinner, a hot dog and scoop of ice cream on July 4th. Pizza with the grandkids yesterday. Oh and I forgot the vodka and cranberry on saturday night. Drum roll please...... I am three pounds heavier today:cursing:. All I can say is why did I do this. Tomorrow I have my second fill. Today I am detoxing myself with plenty of water. Have a good day everyone and thanks for letting me vent.

I went to a wedding over the week end and loved seeing the reaction of some of my friends that have not seen me since Christmas. It was nice not sitting in a corner hoping no will notice me and actually getting up to dance and socialize.I am looking forward to the journey. Have a nice week everyone.

I am glad you are getting back on track, I am like alot of the May Banders that reply to you. I was banded on the 17th and have had one 2cc fill. My weight has been at a stand still and I am hungry all the time. I work out 1 hour a day. When I really get discourage I look at all the successful photos of other banders and I want to one day join them. We are all here to support each other as we know more than any one the pain that is associated with our excessive weight. :ohmy:

Great job!!

I was banded May17th, would love to keep in touch too. There is also a May Banders group you can look into. Good luck on your journey.:scared2:

Thank you for the input about finding things to do with the stress eating. I have the same problem.

I wore this color yesterday, i did it with a nude shoe (it makes the leg look longer. Great job.

I am there with you, would knows in another month we will look back and laugh about the scales not moving.(when we are smaller) you are not alone in your concerns.

You have done a great job your first month, wow!!!

What did your doctor say?

awesome, great job

I survived the pre-op diet, I survived the post op diet losing weight. However I started solid foods even had my first fill(2cc's) and I am gaining weight. I am riding 20 miles a day with the highest level and this week weighing two pounds more than last week. No sweets, pasta , bread or wine in over a month. uggghhhh!!!!!!!!!

You will do fine!!! I am so happy for you. Today is my 30 day from surgery.

I am glad I am not the only one hungry I am a week behind you on the fill. I will be anxious to know how it felt an if you notice a big difference.

What was the first fill like?

Palmtreegirl70 You are doing great, I know what you mean about losing more weight in the pre-op stage. I keep trying to remind myself that it is more than I have done the last couple of years. I have the same fears as you on the success. Remember baby steps.

I will take that challange with you for June. I know th efeeling of staying indoors during the summer and sending everyone off to play.

Hello- Surgery was May 17th, pre-op diet started May 3rd to date 20.50 pounds lighter.
