Recommended Posts

Wow!! You are doing amazing!!!

I haven't yet hit 30lbs but I hope to be there soon!!!

I hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago so exercise has been non-existent. I tried to do some cardio the other day, but my knee felt like it was going to give out on me... GRRRRR!!!!! If it doesn't mend by itself quickly, I'll go and see if a doctor can give me some exercises to strengthen it....

I finally lost a couple pounds! About 5 in the last week, since my second fill. I hadn't lost anything in weeks so it was a relief to see the scale move, although I know theres no way I can loose any significant weight until I hit the gym! I haven't had a day off in months, so whenever I don't have to go to work until late, I sleep as late as I can then do errands and such, if I have to work in the morning I'm exhausted by the time I get out (I'm a banquet waitress...) I work two jobs and usually end up working one in the morning then the other in the night, its so hard to find time to breath, forget go work out! When school starts I'm hoping to maybe get on some kind of schedual at work so my life is a little easier to deal with. :biggrin:

I haven't lost in almost 2 weeks but finally today I lost 2!!!! One more to make 60!!!! Oh how I hope I can hit it this weekend! I just got my 4th fill and think I am at my so called sweet spot. So happy too as I only had 3 mos of free fills after surgery and that is up in a couple days . How time flies, I can't believe it's been 3 mos since turn was up to be banded.

Band fan, how's the knee doing??

Hello everyone, it's been along time since I've had a chance to sit down and chat but I'm doing great and I see that everyone else is also. I went in Thursday and had my 4th fill and I think I have now hit my sweet spot. I'm staying full for alonger time, and I can really feel the restriction. I have now dropped a total of 72 lbs. Of course, 27 of those lbs. were before surgery. I LOVE my band!!!:thumbdown: Good luck to everyone!!

I have no idea what is going on with me. I cant seem to lose as much weight as everyone else. its taking forever to lose so little. I know I shouldnt compare myself to anyone else but it's nutz...there is ppl that got banded same month as me and they are already down 50 and 60 lbs. I guess i dont have enough restriction.

I'm pretty much the same. Going for my 3rd fill Thursday, and hoping that will help. I´m walking a mile a day, and doing a 30 minute exercise DVD, something has got to give!

I went in for another fill last Friday and I now know what restriction. I guess found my "spot" so far. I use to eat as much as I wanted and had to push away the plate. Now it is 2 to 3 bites and I am done. I only change my ticker when I go to the doctor but my personal scale show (-4) since my fill.

Well darling, step on that scale, take responsibility, and learn from it. This is a journey not a quick run to Walmart, so we are all learning. Sometimes we gotta live our life, and then we can say, ok, so that didn't work, better get back on the program!

Sometimes we have to "draw back, to jump further."

294 before pre-op diet; banded 7/30/08; today 249. Doctor took me off high blood pressure medicine (pressure is normal!). So far so good! First fill scheduled 9-22-08.

Thanks you all for the encouragement, hopefully I can encourage someone else.:tt2:

hey Kikival!!! Hang in there!! You need to just get your head back into it.

Could have been because of your cycle. Keep reminding yourself that once you start eating the bad carbs, you will just crave them more!!!

If you are hungry, reach for the protein....whatever you can get your hands on!!!!

My weight is REALLY STUCK right now. I only lost 1.5lbs last month and I was bummed, but decided not to do the pity party thing (nobody ever comes to those parties!!!!)....

I have set a mini goal for Christmas with a "goal buddy".

You can do this!!!!

Keep the faith!!!!

I am learning that slow is better. I am a little slower than I would like, but I am trying to be consistent. Slow and steady wins the race!!!!!

      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!!
