Had my LAP BAND done on 11-26-2007 in Buffalo, NY at Buffalo General Hospital by Dr. Aaron Hoffman. I've have had no problems what-so-ever and the support from Dr. Hoffman has been FANTASTIC. He is the BEST doctor ever! I would recommend anybody from the Buffalo, Rochester, NY area to have Dr. Hoffman perform the BAND! GREAT DOC!:eek:

Vicki -

I'm so sorry but I do know where you are! Honeslty, I was between 202 and 210 for 8 months, how frustrating... now I'm 187-189 and no matter how hard I work its just not moving anymore. I have a stupid 12lbs to go...

I am adding snacks to my food, I know everything they have told me for 2 years is 3 meals no snacks, but I think with all the exercise my body might be in starvation mode???

I'll let you know how that works, today I had 15almonds and got some slimfast high protein bars for this afternoon. If the scale starts moving again (DOWN) it will be so worth it.

((((Hugs))))

that is a no brainer for me Jenn, I have always been a snacker so I snack. I do not know my calorie intake cause my doc has us follow the south beach diet and it doesn't require counting calories, just monitoring our carb intake. I do know, that going below 1100 cal. a day will slow your met. down and you will stop losing wight..:tt1:

Rain, You can count me in! Had my appt yesterday and gained 5lbs, so now i'm 280.2!:thumbup: Onderland is tooooooo far for me to even consider what that feels like.. i'll just be happy to get to 240lbs :tt1:

Vicki - I was ok with what I was eating, but now that i am exercising 2x's as much as I was, it is not working so I'm adding more calories.

I cannot eat carbs, can't eat fruit, no bread, no pasta, nothing. I'll do multi grain chips sometimes but that is it.

Ok so who ever wants to join me lets do 10 lbs by halloween. So thats less than 2 lbs a week. Any takers?

I'm in Rain

that would put me at my goal by Halloween!

Hi guys, I wont join your little bet cause I am so screwed up that when I say I want to lose I eat more.:tt1:

Dr. H told me to eat 4 or 5 small meals a day!

Jennifur - I couldn't eat that much for breakfast. Two turkey breakfast sausage and I am full.

I will be at tonights meeting.

Linda

I couldn't eat that much if I ate when I got up, but I get up at 5:30 have 1 cup of coffee, and a small glass of water, put my son on the bus at 7:30 and walk for an hour, come home, have a glass of water and then make breakfast about 9 so It is almost lunch time by time I eat..lol

Great, now all I'm thinking about is food. I bought these crunchy cheese doodle things in the health food dept. mini bags of pop corn and sugar free cherry locorice. I want to eat all of it now............

I'm gonna go walk my dogs...........
