Same boat! I had surgery in 2011 and lost 105 but up 30. I know what needs to be done, not sure why I let myself struggle so much. My real struggle is sweets and night time eating. I can do good all day, still measure my meals and I'm good there. So today, I am starting again!

Been way too long checking in on here! 3 years 3 months post opt and down 90. I was at a 100 pound loss for a long time and trying to get it off again. I had brachioplasty 7 weeks ago and super excited woith the results.

Don't beat yourself up! Everyone has their good days, their bad days. 2 years out and I still have them and it still gets frustrating for me. You do have a tough job! I subbed for a couple of years in the autism program in our district and if I did 3 days in a row, I was BEAT!!!!!! Hang in there!

I don't think I was told to only have 4 ounces at a time. I mixed up my shake and had the whole thing, though I think it did take about an hour to get down since I would freeze them. -
I actually just started buying the Blue Diamond honey roasted almonds and love them! Sometimes I just need a few. 40 calories isn't too bad for 7. I usually bag them up in servings of 14 nuts.

Welcome aboard!! You will find some great info and some great people here. You wont hear any horror stories from me, I love my band! I started out at 235 and my goal at the time was 75 pounds which seemed like a huge amount to tackle. I didn't even think I could get lower than that. But I did. I hit my first goal of 175, then 160, then 140 and then I said 135 and now I would love to see 129. If I can keep myself under 135 I will be a happy camper. If I can do it, you can do it too! Good luck!

Time Between Bites?
Holly Dolly replied to morelgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have gotten so used to cold food too now that it doesn't bother me. For the most part, I eat breakfast and lunch alone so I can take how ever long I want. Before surgery I would polish off my dinner plate in less than 10 minutes and my hubby would still bet there for another half hour. Even now sometimes he is still eating after I finish and it may take me 30-45 minutes. I guess that is why I had the weight problem and he is skinny! -
good luck and welcome aboard!! I can tell I like you already!

Time Between Bites?
Holly Dolly replied to morelgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In the beginning I would take a bite and look at the clock on either the cable box, computer or car radio and wait for a minute to pass. But 2 years out, I don't really even think about it any more to be honest with you. It just kind of becomes second nature, unless I am raving hungry, eat too fast and end up getting stuck!! Luckily that doesn't happen to often! -
This was not in the brochure

Lap Band vs. the Sleeve

keeping track of how much I eat is the key to my success, and exercising too. But If I had to pick the #1 thing it would be tracking my intake. I weigh and measure everything and pretty much keep to my portions for breakfast, lunch and dinner. -
I go up and down 3 pounds all the time. One thing I would suggest is to skip the OJ unless your dr said that you need it. One 8 ounce cup is around 110 calories. Drinking a few of those every day can add up quickly on the calories.

Congrats! I tried to make an appt for 1-800- get thin but they wouldn't accept me because I was a cash patient and said they only took insurance patients. -
