Ate: normal foods just a lot less thanks to my fill

I'm sorry I've been so quiet lately everyone - work is busy and I also have a few training courses over the next few weeks, so don't have much chance to log in, and if I do, don't have a lot of time to post or answer PMs.

But I HAD to make sure I did the Friday morning weigh in at least! Good luck everyone and I hope you had a great week this week!

Stayed the same this week. I did make it to Curves 3 times this week! I guess no loss is better than a gain!!

Down 5 pounds from last weeks weigh in. I'm putting the scales up in the closet until next Friday morning so that I don't become obsessed with weighing. I've really done well eating more Protein this week, no shakes/supplements (I haven't found any that I can stand) just more Protein rich foods at every meal.

Excercise: still doing 30 min daily on treadmill. I'm up to 3 miles per hour with 1.5 incline. That probably sounds pitiful for most folks, but its really good after 20 years of being fairly sedentary.

Got my first fill yesterday (I'm being truthful, it hurt), then went grocery shopping afterwards. For the first time in my life absolutely nothing in the store made me hungry. I was able to make good choices for myself, my husband, & my boys for the week. I love my band!

I'm going to go to the monthly support group at the hospital beginning next week. I like LBT, but I can't get into posting much, so I'm hoping to get more out of an 'in person' WLS group. I'm also signing up for our local 'Walk from Obesity' which will be in just 3 weeks...my husband & my 2 teenage boys are walking with me.

Great job everyone! Keep up the good work!

This is my fourth week post-band, my first week in mushies, so I'm surprised and delighted (and confused?) by a 6 pound loss this week.

Last week: 216

This week: 210??!?

I have been hungry, really hungry, but I'm terrified of stretching something, so I'm only eating 1/2 cup at a meal, 50+ g of Protein, and averaging about 700-800 calories. I feel as if I should be eating more calories, but I don't know how to do it and only eat 1/2 cup at a meal. I guess a trip to the nutritionist is in order.

I am down 2lbs this week.

I started back to Jazzercise this week doing low impact and gone to 2 classes each 1hr.

[MistyD65 1]

Last week: 278.6

This week: 277.6

Woo hoo! Down 1 pound! I took two 1-hour Nia exercise classes this week, but I still need to get in daily walks. You all should check out Nia - it is so much fun! The studio I go to has "Nia for Goddess Bodies" - I like that term lol. Nia Technique - Fitness, Health and Wellness, Personal Growth Training For everyBody

I had my first fill this week and I have a lovely yellow and purple bruise there. Turns out my port has tilted and the dr had trouble until he realized that, and went after it from a different angle. Thank goodness he had numbed the area beforehand. I didn't feel a thing! I now have .6 cc's in a 4 cc band. Not really noticing any restriction yet, but I'm not rushing things. I know that it can sometimes take a couple of weeks for it to become apparent. Plus, it's only my first fill.

Oh gosh, and I had the munchies sooo bad yesterday, for the first time since surgery. I think it has to do with anxiety over Hurricane Ike's descent onto Houston. And I did give into it a bit. I ate a few Pringles and a couple of Cheetos, but mostly nibbled on some shaved ham and a bit of cheese. Could have been MUCH worse. lol

Keep up the great work everyone!

I'm with Shelby on Even for the week. No gain is a HUGE GAIN for my health! I've gone through mushies and started soft foods since the last weigh-in, so I'm not at all surprised that I didn't lose anything. I'm just grateful that I had no gain...yippeeeeeee! Oh, and I have NOOOOOOOO restriction whatsoever, so I'm really having to make my small portion, then pack up the entire leftovers and stick them in the back of the fridge. I also had to make a rule that I couldn't get any more until 30 minutes after my last bite. Generally, I'm not still feeling like I am starving by then. I'm still hungry, but not so much that I cannot reason with myself. I don't know if I can hang on for another month until my fill! I'll be on here crying like a baby and I'll be looking for people to beat me up a bit, k?
