I am so happy! I didn't notice myself loosing weight even though I've gone from a 22 to a 16 in 60 days. These pictures spoke mountains to me!

THAT IS AWSOME! What in the world are you doing? Please let me in on your secrets! Keep up the good work...another true inspiration. If your are on My Fitness Pal look me up. :-)

I think the band did something to me psychologically' date=' even the day of surgery I kept wondering how I was going to eat. I'm still trying to find restriction but I don't tell myself or others "I can still eat whatever I want just less of it" I know thats not true and once every pound is lost I don't ever want to see it again! I get between 90 and 140 grams of Protein a day. I do not eat any carbs like Pasta or bread, I drink my Breakfast pretty much everyday. I make sure I get plenty of exercise...er except during my special time of month.... the only snack I eat are microwavable Pork rinds (a true blessing), and I'm still working on my Fluid intake but I try to make sure I get at least 60 oz a day. Other then that, I can't let the band do any of the work for me because I have no restriction...I just know not one single meal I eat will ever be my last. Oh yea and I love the tiffany rothe work outs on youtube!!! I try to do a few of them everyday as my cardio warmup.[/quote']

Do you watch calories? Or just monitor protein/carbs? I want to be like you!!!

I TRY to stay below 1300 calories a day but honestly I watch my carbs and Protein .. I try to get more then 100 grams of Protein a day.... I also increased my Vitamin D ..vitamin D assist your body into fat burning mode ... I make the small changes in activity. I was exercising everyday but im having some unrelated band health things right now that im trying to get situated so not exercising as much but I still choose stairs over elevators and I park far away from entrances ... and try to take the long way to any destination. I also can say microwavable Pork rinds save my need to want to snack on junk. I'm working on my Fluid intakes which I know will only move things along faster.

[lapbandkeira 99]

Also then 10 to 1 is a great way to start watching your calories .. every 10 calories you eat should have 1 gram of Protein ...I did that to the point where I know if im eating a thousand calories a day I know im getting 100 grams of protein

Well Im working on building up to your success. Just received some unflavored Protein because i'm just not getting it in. Im averaging maybe 50gms daily. Highest was 77. Back to daily exercise. I stay in ketosis because i'm eating low carb. Struggling to get a decent amount of calories. Gonna check out Tiffany Roth. How is your progress coming?

Everything is going well still...getting more h2o in....snacking less in between lunch and dinner...I tend to get my fluids in mostly at night and not sure if you should get 67 oz in throughout the day or just as long as you get them in you're fine. Hopefully I'm getting another cc in my band next Thursday since its been a month since my last fill. Other then that... my Protein shake has about 40 grams of Protein .. I like jay rob (don't not like the price though) because its made with stevia and not sugar and I mix a few pumps of sugar free caramel Syrup in my chocolate shake or few pumps of sf vanilla in my dreamcicle shakes... I add probably a scoop and a half to 12 to 14 oz of nonfat milk. Not overly thick either! I have one of those stubborn morning bands!

That's wonderful! I get my first fill Monday. Hopefully that will help kick up my weight loss. What is your average weekly weight loss? I'd like 2-3 lbs a week.

That's perfect.

[lapbandkeira 99]

That's perfect.

Be patient with your fills...i'm going in for my third fill this week and still looking for restriction.....its so annoying! I just keep telling myself that I have to continue to eating right to do the work of the band!
