Anxious. Nervous. Excited. All these emotions mixed about the meet and greet. Going to enjoy myself though. Going in the 250s not very excited about that though. I have been working hard the past 2 wks of May and down 2.8 lbs. I will take it .The first week was menstrual week lost 0.6 oz. LOL. Still its a lost. It seems as though the 3rd and 4th wks of the month is always my biggest lost so I'm going to try my best. I'm going to decrease my workouts b/c of the amount of calories I'm intaking and see if that works. 800-1100 calories. 30 mins of workout/day except Tuesday will be 60 mins. of zumba. After this week I gotta get back on my thurmond plan b/c I do lose more that way.

It happens to us all but remember the first 6mos will be your chance to lose ur most weight after that trust me it gets harder and its very easy to gain the weight back ( i know that as well) keep handly low cal protein shakes thicken them up with fruit in the blender, Greek Yogurt w/ granola & fruit or Turkey Jerky. Try hard to follow your doctors rules to Lapband Success. You can do this. Its all in the mind. I'm back in 99% lol. and its a daily hourly struggle.

not using....eating. Sorry

Well It depends on what type of solid foods your using. If you are eating lean protein( not fried) ,fruits and veggies you shouldn't gain. The gain didn't happen to me but I did like maintain couple days after. Maybe our bodies has to adapt to the change. Who knows?

READY SET Brkft- Protein Coffee Smoothie Snk- Jennie O' Turkey Bacon & Egg Lunch- Tilapia 1 Filet &1/4c Mixed Greens(collard/turnip) Snk- Protein Smoothie Dinner- Garlic Parmesean Chicken -4oz & WW dessert (if sweet tooth hit me) Calories: Goal between 1000-1100/day Protein:Goal: 100+ / day Water Goal : 100oz daily Exercise- 60-80 mins/ day cardio and weights

OK !!!! My super energizer smoothie. Ingredients: 1/4c low fat milk 1/4c pomogranate juice ( can do w/o if you don't like pomogranates) 1 single folgers pack- make the coffee using 4oz water 1 single hawaiian sugarfree punch single (berry lime) my flavor 1 pack or scoop of whey protein in Spiru-tein (Raspberry Royal ) Directions: Make the folgers coffee first Then basically pour the coffee & other ingrediants in the blender with as much Ice as you desire and blend till smooth. in the pic after I tasted the smoothie w/o the pomogranate juice it wasn't sweet enough for me so I added it in.

Last week was a great week..from Sunday to Monday today- I have dropped 10.5 lbs and even though some of that was fluid I'm sure its a lost and I feel great. This week I will be increasing my water intake and my workouts. I did have some low calorie days thats not good so I will make sure I get betwween 950-1000 calories daily and of course over 65 grams of protein. This morning has already started of stressful w/ a student fight and my daugher not following directions at her school... I am not going to let it make me emotionally eat. I will pray and be good spirted. I will stick to my meal plan and have the best day ever. My Meal Plan for the week AM- Coffee w/ cream n sugar (3 tsp) Brkft- 1 boiled egg, 2 Turkey Sausage, sugarfree jam. AM snack- Mocha Latte Protein Shake Lunch- Healthy Choice meal ( all under 300 cal/ I take out the pasta or rice and sub it with Stirfry)or- A Similar Meal like the dinner. PM snack- Protein Smoothie: pic below ( sugarfree hawaiian punch/berrylime, spir-u-tein protein in raspberry royale,4oz JW K: Just Pomegranate juice, ice, 4oz water blended until smooth) Dinner- Tilapia ( not deep fried) pan sauteed w/ extra virgin oil, season any except salt) OR protein can be chicken drummlettes up to 8 lightly pan fried in the EVOO like w/ the Tilapia , do that till brown on both sides and put in oven at 400 for extra 20mins. drain the oil and put the sauce of choice ( love parmesan galic or asian zing for buffalo wild wing) add 1/4 cup Veggie except corn to high in sugar, and 1/4 complex carb...like Red skin potato or yam. NO,,white food, pasta, rice or breads.....and a treat if I have to have sweet( I go with the Weight Watchers Dessert under 200calories. * trying not to wait pass 4hrs to eat or snack and to stop eating before 8pm.* Remembering to follow the lapband rules---- NO eating and drinking together. Drink 30mins before and 45 mins after a meal. Exercise 30-60 mins daily.Eat small plates. Drink 65oz or more water day. Have over 65 g of protein a day.

Excellent !!!

All are right!! that don't make since...find a new doctor. I know people that has had it and done and didn't qualify thats why the self-paid.

I will see her I'm sure. She's on my facebook too and I have followed her on youtube since 2010.

Try doing liquids for 1 day... drinking warm teas n coffee too.

So, once again If I stay consistant, follow the lapband rules and have a motivation/inspiration I do so much better. I have big events upcoming and I wont to feel and look my best. Las Vegas Meet n Greet (May), Hawaii anniversary trip (June), fitting for bridesmaid (August), new school assignment (August). With that said...I can't be slacking and acting like I don't know how and what to do to lose this weight I put on. I saw one of my videos from April last year and I had actually gotten down to 218 lbs. Really !!! See, if you are reading this blog....DO NOT take a break from living as a bandster! Its a daily life changing event. If you take a break, eat whatever you want, exercise some, not follow the LB rules; you can and will gain the weight back and FAST. I will not let this happen again...once I get to my goal weight I must maintain. My doctor recommended goal weight for my body type and all that is 221 lbs. When he told me that I was like What!! Dang thats still FAT. He was like for you it would be good and you will be healthy, a smaller size. He was so right even though I saw 218-due to a liquid diet I'm sure... I still bounce back and forth all over the 220s. So, I won't be hard on myself Like I was last year. I won't just say' ugg forget it why work this hard and I'm not losing'...so what if I don't bounce in the 220s for months...years...I will be the best me in years.! With that said Never Giving UP is my motto for life. I have stayed consistant this week-eating basically the same meal plan daily,exercising at least 30-60 minutes, not eating and drinking together, not eating High calorie sweets (been doing the Weight Watchers desserts), eating protein first in all my meals and snacks. Sample of my Meals this week.... Brkft- Mocha Latte Protein Snack- Tuna in pouch w/ light mayo Lunch- Healthy Choice meal- taking out the carbs and adding more veggie Snack- Protein Smoothy ( made w/ protein, ice, hawaiian punch single, fresh strawberries) or one day I had a protein bar Dinner- Tilapia(sauteed)no salt, Stir Fry Veggies, and starch ( usually risotto, couscous,red potato)...later after if I have a desire a weight watcher dessert. ---- Workouts T/R zumba of course and all other days 30 min of either walk,kettlebell, softball (I coach) or bowl ( i'm on league) So, I will be eating the same way till I go to Hawaii.... I will eat different in Vegas but will make good choices. I must and will stay consistant.... I really like seeing the scales go down! Its motivating and not depressing of course. I'm the type that need to weigh daily.

I have. I noticed I lost the same with or w/o them. I can lose up to 2lbs a day when I am following the LB rules, water and exercise, eating 5 small protein based meals to keep full. Try that and see if you can stay full thru the day even with the fill you have. Example Meal: I have Brk- Mocha Latte Shake Lunch- Healthy Choice Meal minus the rice or pasta snack- Protein based smoothie- I make my self w/ hawaiian punch single(lemon lime), strawberries, soy vanilla protein 1/2-1 scoop, ice water blend. Dinner- 3-4 oz Lean Protein, 1/4c Veggie, 1/4 c complex carb and if Im not to stuffed I have a Weight Watchers Dessert and hour later. Drink you 80 -100 oz of water a day and you should be good. I have 6.2 cc in my 10cc band and some days more or less restriction.
