when do ya have your surgery? well keep in touch, im always open for hearing how others are doing and how they are doing things different from me. ya learn so much from other people! so far the band has been good for me, yet i really havent seen the numbers on the scale go down, i have been able to fit into my favorite pair of jeans (so im losing inches!) well good luck and hope to hear from ya agian!

Ali- ohhh i cant wait for payday tomorrow!!! im going to GNC and Walmart, i have my shopping list made! :thumbup: hope i like them lol yeah im going to start swimming an hour and a half with my daughter this week and then im going to start to walk, i wanna take my daughter with me but shell get tired and if i bring a stroller shell be lazy and not wanna walk lol havent gotten a chance to go on the websites but i will let ya know asap!
Ledg- thanks for the tip about walmart! im the same way, i get bored of the same thing or flavors when i have them to much. mmmm caramel, yum! :thumbup:

Ali-where do ya get this Isopure??? i wanna try it now! thats alot of Protein for just a drink, without the sugar and all. hmm i think id have to do the something i have to like the taste of something in order to eat/drink it lol
im going to switch yogurts, your not the first person to tell me about this yogurt...is there a different taste to it? and now where do i get this EAS Myoplex? lol
yeah im going to try those Viactive calcium chews when i get paid, i wanted to before but ended up just taking the Calcium pills. yeah i know, i thought at least i wasnt eating the Cookies just by myself.
thanks for the websites! i going to look at them tonight!
what kind of exercises do you yourself do?
im trying to change my 4yr old daughters eating habits too, its hard!
-
Aww well congrats and good luck! Yes of course, thats what I want the most. I wanna be healthy for myself mainly, but also for my family too. I definitely dont wanna lose weight then go back to the way I am now. So I do agree with you! :smile:
-
Fool- Yeah I used to do really good when I would write everything down, that I do need to start doing again! Thanks for reminding me! So I should be trying to eat around 1,200 calories??? Hmmm I think that might be a bit hard, Im not that hungry...if I make myself eat more I feel like Ill get sick :smile:
Spoil-Yeah I feel if I get a fill things will change so much for me! See Im not ALWAYS hungry and I do get full, I just feel as Im not getting a restriction, its weird.
-
Omg thank you everyone! I know its all about change and that I am the ONLY one who can change. I know it takes time and I have to change my eating habits, I do know that Protein is a huge deal!!! My goal is to lose at least 90lbs all together! Im trying to get my friends and family on Facebook to do a New Years challenge with me, I figure if I work hard I can lose an easy 30lbs...
Karen- Thank you for your help! I agree with ya about thinking how am I going to be skinny in such a short amount of time lol What is this book about? Ill check it out and let ya know!!! Im hopefully going to start swimming on Oct 1st, thats when we get paid. But I do know that exercising is a major part of weight lose! I know when to stop eating at times, just not all the time! I do my Wii which weighs me everyday/or when I do it lol I do know that I tried on a pair of my old jeans and I fit them!!! That was exciting:)
Tross- Ya, I know I was debating on the 2 surgeries. I figured I didnt want them cutting me into pieces, and that I just wanted the extra push for help cuz I know I can lose weight if I have help. Thats why I choose the band, if the band doesnt work for me in the future I know if Im desperate I can always get the bypass.
Ali- Thank you for telling me what ya eat daily. Ive been trying to figure out how one gets in all their Protein and not alot of calories! On most days I tend to have a Slim-Fast for Breakfast, Yoplait yogurt for lunch, then a nice dinner on a SMALL plate with much smaller portions then I used to, for snack ill share a 100 calorie package of Cookies with my daughter or another yogurt. But like I said I know Im not getting enough protein! I think Im going to steal your meal plan lol I always wondered about those Calcium chews, do they really taste good??? What is this Isopure you are talking about???
Elfie- The 13lbs is really from before my surgery to my follow up appointment with my doc on Sept 7th. No I do not wanna get anything stuck nor do I wanna throw up. I do though wanna feel what everyone calls "restriction" lol I cant eat without at least baby sips when eating, I know I know...its bad :smile: I do though eat slow and take small bites lol
-
Ok, so I got my band on Aug 31st and Ive only lost about 13lbs! I don't believe I have any restrictions!!! For real, I can eat ANYTHING, but I do get fuller faster than before I had my band and know when to stop eating. I hear everyone say they have restrictions and that some foods get stuck and Ive also heard some talk about even throwing up. Should I be feeling the same or am I going to feel this when I get my first fill???

hi there, im 2yrs old with a 4yr old daughter, i too have been overweight for the longest i can remember! i got my band on aug 30th and so far ive lost around 13lbs, but i havent been very active. i was excited throughout my whole journey, until the day of...never had surgery before! but in the end i wouldnt change it, i know things will get better! the main problem i have now is being itchy around my cuts. well good luck to ya and keep in touch!
-
hmmm that Soup does sound pretty good, and im a picky eater...id just leave the onions and peppers out lol i hopefully get my first fill on oct 10th! i need/want to start losing weight, ive only lost about 13lbs since aug 30th :smile:
-
:biggrin: i like this thread...i also have been trying to find the best foods with less calories and more protein! the more Protein the more ya lose, and thats my problem now! i love Google, but i would like a book where i can have in front of me! i was planning on going to the library to look, now i have a better idea! thanks!
-
lol im on the same boat as you are! i got my band on aug 31st and since then ive lost the same as you have! i dont believe im eating enough Protein tho. im trying to find meal plans where it has low calories and high protein for Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Snacks. im also going to start back up on writing down everything i eat, it makes weight loss easier! well keep me updated!
-
hey there, im having the same issues! i got my band on aug 31st and i weighed myself yesterday on my wii and it said i only lost less than a 1lb! i dont know why! :smile2: also what is NSV???
-
hi there! i got my band on aug 31st! i dont think ive lost anything and im getting so upset...i know that the band has helped me to eat less so why am i not losing?!? i feel for ya!
-
ok...so i got my band on aug 31st, my goal is to be 125, so i figured id lose my weight and then try to get pregnant around sept (for my daughters 5th bday, shes been begging for a baby) its ABOUT a year wait, would i be ok? and what if i lose my goal weight before then, would it still be best to wait a year??? i dont wanna mess anything up but i also would like to give her the news on her bday...
-
i think thats what was my problem, i think it was the healing part or eating certain things...cuz i didnt have any problems in the last 2 days...i havent had any issues with vomiting but i need to be careful cuz i eat like i used to (not taking it slow and such) i also need to take my vitamins! hope all is good!
