Tabithan - thanks for your response, yes, I do admit, I do avoid this place when I am doing badly on my diet, etc. I need to report REGARDLESS!!! THANKS for that reminder.

I appreciate the support even during the bad days! Thanks again.

See my next post for yesterdays results/goals met,etc. Thanks

Ibbanded

Hi IB BANDED - I LOVE the new excitement and we are definitely going to support you with this. I love the fact that you have come back and posted and truly recommitted. That you haven't let a "not-so-hot" holiday hold you down. I didnt have the best holiday either - hehehe - but like you, we all came back, and because of that, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!!

In order for us to support you with the goals, we need one committment from you - that you will post here, good or bad, keep us in the loop - the reason it is so important is that when we are not doing so HOT, we (and I am the BEST at this!! lol) avoid LBT like the plague. But avoiding LBT when we are not doing well just extends our "bad food binge" even longer.

So yes, I will support you and everyone will support you. Yipeeeeeee. Way to go IBBANDED - love this!!!

Please take that with a grain of salt. That looks like a fitday graph. I use it too and love it. Problem is, it isn't always accurate with the breakdown. The other day I had kidney Beans. We cooked them here and I think home-cooked dry kidney Beans showed up when i logged it as having 14g of fat (see below)! Ummmm, no, try 0g of fat. Also, the calories were too high. If anything looks a little off, look at the label of the item you are eating and enter it as a custom food. I have about 20 custom foods I entered that I eat on a regular basis.

So far, today was a good day for me. Went to Chillis for lunch but i checked their calories online, in advance, so I did a Soup and salad. I get hungry quickly on Soups but i snacked well with my Kashi bars - love and - and some no-sugar-added hot chocolate at 60 calories.

Yesterday was a wierd day. I had a lot of head hunger at night and I did something I havent done in a LONG TIME. At around 11PM I got out of bed and went and got some Cereal and milk. So obviously, i slept real well after probably put all that sugar and milk on my hips since I went to bed RIZGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight, if I feel like I need a midnight snack, I will snack on my sweet baby carrots!!!! :)

Hi girl, just read your post from yesterday. I need to follow your lead and report even the slip ups but you did not do too bad, cereal and milk is not gonna KILL your diet efforts just as long it don't become a daily midnight habit! LOL. I myself could LIVE on cereal and milk but WOA at the carbs on that for me! I am aiming to go lower carb in my diet.

It is good to get to go out to eat and you were so smart for checking your calories and that BEFORE you got to the restaraunt. Great Job! :hurray:

Hang in there and congrats on your recent weight loss, :) I was reading trying to catch up yesterday after being MIA through the holidays.

Again, thanks for your support on this thread and always reminding us why we are here and that this thread is for accountability of all - the good :), the bad :eek: and the ugly :)!

Have a blessed day! :thumbup:

I had my lapband surgery July 2007, initally lost 50 lbs., then gained back all of it :thumbup: I am so disappointed with myself. I am back to all my old habits. I just don't know what to do, or should I say....I don't know how to make myself do what I NEED to do. The docs make it sound so easy....exercise and diet. If I were ever good at dieting, I wouldn't have needed the lapband in the first place. HELP!!!

White06 - Are you doing anything specific as far as a diet plan, or just cracking down on yourself?

cherylcovey - I know how you feel. You are not alone. I wish I had suggestions for you but since I'm in the same boat as you - I can't be of much assistance. I too know what I need to do - I just don't do it. And, I don't know why or what it will take to get me to do it.

Hi Gang,

Just checking in for today. So far, so good. I was really hungry after my frozen dinner today at work. I need to get something that has less sauce so mushy. Last night, I didnt snack on anything by carrots, right before I slept. Was pretty happy. I gained 0.6 lbs 2 days ago and as of today I havent gained or lost, which is perfect!!!!

I still have NOT made it to the gym,...I need help to move my b*tt!!!!!

Hi CherylCovey - Welcome, Welcome Welcome!!! We are so glad you have joined us!!!!! With the exception of a couple of people, all of us on this thread were banded, lost weight, then lost committment resulting in either stalled weight loss or weight gain. So we can definitely empathize with your situation.

I think it is important to feel a sense of sadness and disappointment in oneself. I have been there. However, what you do with that emotion, that feeling is what will make ALL the difference. I am not talking as an expert as I too have struggled, gained,and now relosing, but just from the perspective of a fellow struggler.

I'm going to assume that your band is working properly and there are NO band issues, medically par se. if that is the situation, they you may want to try a recommittment to the band. Here are some ideas:

a) Step 1 - the 5 day pouch test. Following this religiously could help you seriously get back on track.

:angry: evaluating why the band is not being successful for you. Being truly honest in this process and acknowledging the role you have played in it.

c) setting specific goals to help you get back on track.

If you decide to join us long term, we wont judge you. This is a judgement free zone. But you will get tough love and celebration along the way. I know that this has helped me reignite my weight loss after 1.5years of no loss/gain.

With that said, what are your goals for the month of January???

YAY someone else who struggles like me!!!!

I am plateau city! I know I am suppose to be loosing around 1.5-2 pounds a week and it just isn't happening. I snack on stupid crap sometimes and I work at a place that makes yummy fruit juices...which as we all know is an occupational hazard and wasted calories.

A support group is a great idea.

Here is how I track calories and protein: I found this great website from someone on here... LIVESTRONG.COM - Health, Fitness, Lifestyle (not the lance site) I love it because for the most part it calculates EVERYTHING for you. and I love that.

Best wishes to all in this new year!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
