This group is for weight loss support for lower bmi bandsters (of course anyone is welcome!).

For encouragement, tips, accountability.... Give stats, helpful advice, etc.

How much weight you have lost, how long it took. etc.

In some case I have found it takes a lower BMI patient a lot longer to lose the weight.

Introduce yourself and jump on in!!!:welcomeB: :welcome2:

A couple of non-scale victories today.

One, was I had bought a can of sugar free whipped cream the last time I went shopping to put on fruit, etc. I found it today, and I had totally forgotten about it. Also, 3 days ago I had bought a candy bar, which I also found today.

I can tell you that never in my lifetime have I EVER forgotten either a chocolate bar or a can of whipped cream in my house. I was absolutely shocked, and amazed. And happy.

My relationship with food is really changing. I am not thinking and obsessing about food all the time. Sometimes I even forget about it.

Wow.

Have a great night everyone!

That is awesome!!!:clap2: Our minds are submitting to the power of the band!!!

Aunto flo just doesn't want to come!!! Did anyone else skip there periods?? I am not pregnant either!!! My husband had a vasectomy 3 years ago.

She will probably come at the most annoying and inconvenient time for you.

I have a friend who had a daughter 4 years after her husband had a vasectomy. Then, she had two more after she had had her tubes tied! LOL

Audree, I missed my period the first month after surgery. (And I never miss mine). I think it was from the liquid diet. Just my guess.

That is not even funny. Wow.

You know what's weird? I have had no restriction and today when I ate my lunch, I felt like I could feel the meat passing through kinda painfully.

I have no fill, but have heard that you can get tight during premenstrual time.

That is crazy!!! My husband's doctor made really sure. They cut the tubes, cauterized (burned) the ends and tied them!!!

That is so weird!! I was supposed to start the day of surgery and didn't, so could I miss again?? I feel tired, hungry and emotional like I usually do... Man, I hope it doesn't screw up my weigh in tomorrow!!

Did you notice that it messed with your weigh ins?

Well the last 2 days I have been doing great, eating 1550-1600 calories a day and now today I am hungrier again. So I would say that what you have read is accurate, based on my personal research, lol.

you know, i can eat whatever i want for like 2 days

i crave all kinds of craziness

then when old aunt flo arrives

TIGHT AS CAN BE for at least 36 hours if not 48

a few other people have said the same thing at support, so my educated assumption would be that hormones are running amuk.

Yessss hormones running amuck....

Weigh in today = -1 lb for a total of 8.5 lbs lost in 5 weeks = 1.7 lbs per week average. I'll take it!
