I am going to take this banding journey and combine the South Beach diet. Just see it as just "1 more tool' to use on your lapband journey.

The more tools you use the better!

The bandster rules and the South Beach diet go hand in hand.

Anyone interesed can just sign up! I will be starting up on Saturday!

But anyone can jump in anytime!

It can also be a place of being accountable daily. I am the kind of person who does better when I know I have to be accountable somewhere! How bout you? I also do better having a structured program. I am sure there are others out there like me!!

Please tell us a little about yourself, your goals, stats, etc.

OFFICIALL WEIGH IN DAY WILL BE FRIDAYS! :funscale: Now our scale will say nice things to us!!!

See you on the beach!!!

Audree

I haven't kept track of my diet since Friday.

Will get back on track tomorrow.

When is your fill Audree? It is this week isn't it?

Hi, I just wanted to check in. I haven't had much time to be on here. I have 1 week down and 1 week to go. Most mornings I have been doing turkey breakfast sausage and 2 boiled eggs. This week I have been doing a low carb slim fast shake and a boiled egg if I get hungry for a morning snack. Lunch will probably be baked chicken and a salad.

So far, so good!!

Thanks!!!!

It really helps to know i am not doing this alone!!!!

Thanks South Beachers for your support!!

We will get this weight off!!!

I had to rescheule my fill since I can't go this weekend.. I need to find someone to go with me now

Breakfast: 2 string cheese

Snack: 2 strawberries and 10 grapes ( went to a womans bible study and that was the best option)

Lunch: 2 harboiled eggs, deviled egg style,

Liquid: 32 ounces of watered down crystal light, sugar free jello

Supplements: liquid vitamins, 1 biotin, 1 quickslim30

No exercise

I feel really out of it this period I am having. I have had headaches prior to it and two days out. I feel nauseous and feel like I want to get a migranine. I am just trying to rest.

I think I will skip dinner since I feel nauseous.

I have been staying 100% on track with my meals, staying on the beach, so I can't wait to see what weigh in on Friday is like.

That's great Audree. I made meat loaf out of ground turkey and I ate a small piece and got really full. I was going to make some kind of vegetables to go with it, but I was too lazy. I wouldn't have been able to eat them. I got full really fast, so maybe this fill is working!

I hope all of us show the scale moving down this weigh in!

I have ground turkey!! Can you give me the recipe!!

I really don't use a certain recipe. I just put some egg beaters in there, some Mrs. Dash garlic and herbs, chopped onion, some ketchup and I use oat meal instead of bread.

I make meat loaf different every time I make it. I use to put Cambells vegetable soup in there but there are potatoes in it so I used ketchup instead. I just put the oat meal in there until it wasn't runny. I would say probably half a cup?

Sounds yummy!!! I am going to try it!!

Hey!! I am supposed to get my first fill too. I am hoping I get some restriction back. I thought there were only two bands, 4cc and 10cc?

I don't really know. I know that VG band is bigger than all the others. I specifically asked him if I had that one. He said no, my band was from the brand that has been on the market the longest and it was a 10 cm band that holds 5cc's.

I have been feeling kinda tight the last day or so... not eating much, which makes me happy.

But haven't been doing that great on tracking my eating, which I need to do in order to stay on track with my diet...

Ladies and fellow SB bandsters...I am finally checking in...been Missing In Action for a while...been depressed. Gave into valentine candy (more than once) so....I am back after a huge gain:mad: . I do so much better when I check in here daily, but have not in several days, just embarrassed to admit I have gained NINE POUNDS:omg: ....I will try to do better and be here and more active on these boards as I need your support and motivation...

Signed, the stuggling bandster - lapbandfan

Lapbandfan,

I gained 3 lbs last week.

I am doing better this week. I still eat too much. Hopefully my first fill will help some.

The good thing about tomorrow is that it's another day, right?
