Sportsguy you might need a fill. How many fills have you had? And do you feel any restriction?

Alanna I don't see why you can't drink coffee. I always have and know several people who do. But always follow your doctor's instructions.

Thank you! I've gained a lot of weight and need to get back on the bandwagon!

Thanks Beacloud. I needed to hear that. Well here is what yesterday was like. I was a little worried with it being a Saturday and being off work but surprisingly I didn't have much of an appetite.

Damn I just realized I had way too many calories yesterday but no matter how many calories I have I'm so dedicated I'm going to post every single day!:party:

I paid $12,500 for everything here in Houston but my doctor is retired. I used 2 interest free credit cards and paid it off in 1 year. When interest free runs out transfer to another interest free credit card.

Down 7 lbs since Monday!

I'm up for this challenge. I have 20 weeks and my goal is going to be to lose 40 lbs. I need this more than ever :redface:

Breakfast-EAS Shake 110 Calories and 17g Protein Snack-Oikos Greek Yogurt 90 Calories 10g Protein Lunch-Mcdonalds Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad w/low fat vinagerette dressing-340 Calories 30g Protein Snack-Oatmeal 150 Calories Dinner-Low Carb Tacos with Lean Ground Turkey 1/3 cup of ff refried beans and grated cheese-370 Calories 27g Protein Snack-EAS Shake 110 Calories 17g Protein & 1 serving of baked hot cheetos 130 calories Total-1300 Calories 101g Protein (had to make up for yesterday)

Ok I had done so well on Monday and Tuesday keeping my calories under 1300 and walking 30 minutes so I decided to weigh myself on Wednesday (yesterday) and GAINED 2 lbs. How is that possible? So last night I was good all day and did kind of bad at night because I went and had Mexican food and did not exercise last night and I jumped on the scale this morning and I've lost 3 lbs. I don't get it! But I'm sure happy with it

Yesterday: Breakfast: EAS Shake 110 Calories 17g Protein Snack:V8 35 Calories Lunch:Cream of Broccoli Soup w/2 tablespoons of croutons 325 Calories Snack-1 packet Oatmeal 170 Calories Dinner-Half of a Taco Salad 350 Calories 13g Protein Calories:990 Calories 30g Protein (Didn't get in as much protein as I should have) Back on track today.

Nevermind Gordita I just saw your signature line. Give your fill some time because for me sometimes it will take a few days to kick in. If you're still not feeling the restriction then see about getting another fill. Hope this helps.

La Gordita: My doctor says 60 grams of protein or more a day. I wouldn't worry too much it took me several fills to get to the point of good restriction. When was your last fill and how much is currently in your band?

:cool2: Hey it's ok at least you're honest :tt2:

Today: Breakfast-Oatmeal 150 Calories Snack-EAS Shake 110 Calories 17 g Protein Lunch-Tortilla Soup-490 Calories 19 g Protein Snack-1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter-95 Calories and 3 g Protein & EAS Shake 110 Calories 17 g Protein Dinner-Cream of Mushroom Soup 210 Calories 3 g Protein Snack-Organic Greek Oikos Yogurt w/Honey-90 Calories 10g Protein Total-1,290 Calories and 69 g Protein

So out of all of you that say it would be easy to do, why haven't you already if it's no big deal. I want someone to post a video on you tube of this and then I will believe you but alot of you are all talk :blushing:

Ok I've got to get this weight back off. Pouch is dialated and am doing liquids/mushies. I'm in for 10 lbs in 5 weeks. Hopefully it will be more but I'm not going to push it :thumbup:

Ok I need to document what I eat on here to get back on track so here goes: Yesterday: Breakfast-EAS Protein Shake-110 Calories 17g Protein & 1 cup of black coffee Snack-Can of V8 Tomato Juice-35 Calories Lunch-V8 Southwestern Corn Soup-280 Calories 6 g Protein Snack-Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt-90 Calories 10g Protein and EAS Protein Shake 110 Calories 17g Protein Dinner-98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup-240 Calories Snack-1 cup of cottage cheese 180 Calories 24g Protein and 1 cup of Sugar Free Banana Pudding-200 Calories Total 1,245 Calories & 74g Protein

So I really need to join this thread to get back on track. I went to the lapband doctor for the first time in 2.5 years (I've had my band for almost 4 years) and my pouch is stretched so I have to do liquids/mushies for 3 weeks: Yesterday: Chocolate Banana Vivanno Smoothie from Starbucks-280 Calories 2 cups of progresso soup (minus the chicken in the soup)-160 calories 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese- 90 calories 2 1/2 cups of cream of mushroom soup-204 calories Total= 734 calories for Day 1 of 3 week liquid diet

Ok I'm so getting onto this thread. I've been following the WW points system the last 2 weeks and find it pretty easy to follow. I definately need a boost in weight loss with lapband. I haven't been to my lapband doctor in 3 years so I have no idea how my band is doing (I'm self pay) I'm finally going this Thursday and I'm so ready to find out what's wrong with my band. I initially lost 80 lbs and now am only 10 lbs less than I was before I got banded. I feel like a total failure and do not want to give up. I refuse to go back to the way I was. I met my fiance almost 2 years ago and the lbs slowly started creeping back and now here I am. He's lost 20 lbs due to finding out he has diabetes and cutting out the sodas. I feel very depressed about it and really need the motivation and help from you guys. :confused:

Thanks to everyone for their input. I'm now getting worried about insurance companies in general with this new health reform bill that's being passed. I wonder if they're going to want to cover anyone anymore.

If you don't mind me asking, how much is the revision going to cost out of pocket?
