It is becoming my best friend. Lately I can not go to the bathroom! I don't want to be dependent on these so I try for 2 days but I have a very hard time eating fruits due to the band, not because I don't love them. starting weight 287.6 current weight 234.8

I tend to use my son's plates from Ikea they are little plastic colorful see through plates and then only put about 1/4 to 1/2 of food one there. If I don't I serve way too much and then never eat it anyways. But omg is it amazing to think about how I used to eat! I was going over with my husband the calories in fast food and used to eat it a few times a day!! starting weight 287.6 current weight 234.8

Thank you. Although I feel like the laxatives help clean me out? But I'm not so sure they are good to take with the Lapland starting weight 287.6 current weight 234.8

I can not eat breads, pastas, and j s hard for me to eat fruits and chicken. So Idk how anybody can eat what they want lol. One day I could eat chicken perfect the next day I couldn't if my life depended on it starting weight 287.6 current weight 242.0

My band is one of those lucky ones that I am restricted on how much I can eat one bit too many and I have to throw it up sometimes this happens before I can even get a half a cup in. Other times I can get a cup in. I feel like this is how the band was portrayed to work. I do throw up a lot though.. I can't eat fruit very well unless in a smoothie or something. Some say I prob am too tight but it's working for me and that's all that matters. Keep trying don't give up starting weight 287.6 current weight 242.0

I was always home alone as a child from like 10 years old and up after school my parents both worked till after 5. I always snuck in the cookies and sweets that I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat when they got home. On top of being bored I was always kind of upset that I was always home alone. About 6 years ago I lost some weight, about 30lbs, and was really happy the way I was looking and feeling. Then I got pregnant. I gained 100lbs. Doubled the 30 I lost so 60lbs and about 40 from the actual pregnancy. At least that is what the doctor said that looks like what happened. Even after a strict diet and with the help of diabetes while I was pregnant nothing helped. After being in the hospital for 5 days I had lost the 40lbs. But slowly I gained it right back and 5 years later the date I weighed in for surgery I was the same weight I was the morning I gave birth. After my son was born I tried a few diet pills and gym and all that. But on top of nothing really working I just stopped caring. I didn't want to be fat but I also didn't want to be miserable and not live my life not eat good food. I wish back then I could have done it on my own but I know now that this was the best choice. I have lost 45lbs. It has been a struggle but not as much if I did it alone starting weight 287.6 current weight 245.2

Over thanksgiving? Some how I gained 2.5 and I didn't even eat hardly anything! I think my body might be in starvation mode. Of seems to grab on to my food some days and not let go. Anyone experience this? starting weight 287.6 current weight 245.2

I did not track my calories for thanksgiving but I did eat a small amount but I am actually back on schedule today must have been Water weight or something starting weight 287.6 current weight 245.2

I have to stand up throughout my meal and when I stand I feel a plopping of my food going through my band and down to my stomach and then I don't feel any more pressure. Lately I have had a horrible pain in my chest after I eat but I have had my 2nd fill for a few months and this pressure has recently started I have never had heart born so I don't know what that feels like but I'm assuming that's what it is. starting weight 287.6 current weight 253.4

Wow i wish i could eat some of the stuff everyone else does! On an average work day i have: Breakfast: iced coffee(sometimes with protein) Lunch: smart one or lean cuisine(1/2 of a panini or roast beef and veggies which Is about a cup of food) Dinner: 1 tilapia fillet with lemon juice I cant eat much more then that. And if i get hungry before bed i eat about 1/2 cup of Cereal or maybe treat myself to a few bites of ice cream. starting weight 287.6 current weight 257.4
