new to this thread well actually I have been reading for awhile but this is my first post. I was banded 1/15/2008 just celebrated my one year. i'm down 65lbs but the past two months I didn't loose as I was pregnant but I had a miscarriage so now I'm back to focusing on getting down these last few lbs. I have 20-25 more to go before I want to try to get pregnant again. Anyhow I'm reading all of your posts and feel like I eat so much more than all of you! :cursing:

I feel hungry today already I've had a grande non fat latte, a yoplait fat free yogurt with 1/2cup raisin bran in it, then an hour or so later I had some trader joes honey whole wheat pretzel sticks. (about 10) This totals about 435calories and 1gram of fat. Do you think this is bad? That gives me only 600ish calories for the rest of the day. :thumbdown:I have a hard time with perspective. I guess writing it out it doesn't seem that horrible but I've been telling myself all morning "ugg I've eat'n so much today!" :tt1:

I was banded in December, lost 13 pounds, gained 5 back, then lost another 6... so that's ok. I have had no problems with any kind of food. I haven't tried coffee, don't really need it, no soda either. I have no restriction, had a fill on 1/7, next one on 2/4. I find myself hungry, but when I eat I stop before I feel I should, to be safe. Then I feel full 15 mins later. I'm still new at this. Am I eating enough?

todays meals:

B: worldwide pure Protein Shake

S: 1/4 c tuna with 1 wheat cracker

L: 1/2 cup of salad, 1 grilled chicken taco, no totrilla

D: will have 1 1/2 oz. grilled dover sole, with maybe 1/2 steamed veggies.

B: individual ff yogurt

L: 1/4c cottage cheese (1%); 1 banana

D: 1/4 c of chili; ff yogurt

S: 2 oz soy nuts

Ended up having to have a Protein Shake before bed as both my calorie count and Protein count were too low

oI snack all day long! I'm always popping something in to my mouth :cursing: I just had a fluro the other day to check my band and my nurse wouldn't fill me anymore after we saw that I was pretty darn tight. so how come I still eat so much!? I never have that "oh I'm full!" feeling?

snacking is just easy - cause those chips/ice cream/cookies/etc just go down w/out a fight. i limit the Snacks (husband also banded) in the house and temptation is gone. he's a night snacker & i make sure he has fruits/veggies/nuts to munch on - more so than chips; he has a "crunch" thing.

what helps me is to be a bit prepared of foods in the house & on sundays while the house is quiet - i'll pre make meals for the wk. if i don't plan - i veer off course and make not so hot choices w/food.

luluc-thax for the reply. I'm pretty bad with planning :mellow: I'm not much of a cooker and I'm trying harder to learn and also learn to be prepared. I get really bored at my desk all day and I KNOW that's why I go looking for something to snack on. Believe it or not weekends are the best for me because we are on teh go and I'm busy with the house and family. Sitting at my boring desk all day is terrible :tongue: today I went and bought a bag of cinnimon jolly ranchers. Thought I could pop one in my mouth when I was wanting a sweet snack. Worked good this am when I went 'looking' Held me fine until lunch. I have been pretty good about what comes into the house. My hubby isn't a sweet person at all and I keep a few things around for my son (4yrs) like fruit Snacks which I've only eat'n once or twice when I was really desperate! lol but really he doesn't need the junk either so I try to be pretty good about what is in the cupboards. I'm doing better today. I had my grande non fat late this am and for lunch I had a pita with tuna fish and tomatoe. Im still wanting a little something right now so I fixed a cup of tea and I'm chewing gum! :cursing:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
