I am sorry to hear about the employment problems. My family has been fortunate so far. I am very thankful. Donna, I am soooo glad to see your band working for you!!!! Well, I am on Day 8 of a migraine headache. I have been to the dr 2 times and had 2 shots. Then, I found out the results of my pelvic ultrasound Monday afternoon and I need a hysterectomy. I am 41 and already have two kids, so it isn't that devastating to me, but it still shakes me up a bit. On top of that, since I teach, I am trying to have it done quickly so the time off of work is minimized. So, they scheduled it for December 22nd. Since I changed districts that I teach in, I am meeting TWO deductibles this year!!!!! That is the only part that really sucks. My lap band co pay was 2500. I think this will be 1500. BUT, at least I have insurance. And, hopefully, this may help my migraines, since it is possible they are hormone related.:eek: Does anyone know if all surgeries require an unfill before? I plan on calling my doc, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with this.

WTG Donna!

I haven't even attempted to eat carrots. I don't eat salad. I love them, but I think I am just afraid that it will stick. I too have gone to bed with head hunger rather than give in to it. It wasn't easy, but it felt better than the emotional beating I would have given myself if I gave in to it. You are making more progress each day! If you find you go over your calories on one day, do not get upset. Drop back to maybe 1200 the next day or add an extra workout and it will even out. Getting upset could lead to emotional eating.

I eat thin crust whole wheat pizza from my favorite Italian restaurant. I can eat 1 sometimes 1 1/2 slices from a 10 inch. It is yummy and I have had it maybe 3 times since banding.

Way to go Orea! :smile2:

Kimaly, I am sending prayers your way.

Head hunger is the worst!!!! :smile2: Honestly, that is why I just drink my dang Starbucks. With the decreased amounts of mocha that I use, it really isn't bad for me and it makes me feel satisfied completely. I also am full for at least 3 hours from it due to the 20oz of skim milk it contains. Fight this head hunger, you can do it!!!!!!

My secret I already told: I log every bite of food that goes into my mouth (even all drinks). I also eat what I want that doesn't make me ill, but I measure it out. I eat the amount I give myself and then stop. I always feel satisfied. Many times prior to banding I think I probably just served myself too much and ate blindly, not even pausing until it was gone! I have a Starbucks venti non-fat caramel mocha (2 pumps of mocha, 4 pumps sugar free caramel) almost everyday. Surgeon doesn't like the caffeine, but it makes me happy and has 220 calories and 17 g of Protein, so I don't care what he likes. I like it better than most deserts. As far as the restriction goes, you may have restriction just from having the surgery again. I did from the swelling after my banding. If you look at my stats, my band isn't even CLOSE to being full. My stomach just seems to be sensitive to the band being there. This last fill actually was probably a tiny bit too tight at first. I pbed for the first, second and THIRD time since surgery last week. What kind of load of crap is THAT?! BUT....the last time I was sick was Sunday night, so I think it has loosened up enough for now. I do NOT plan on living my life being sick all the time. I will not hesitate to get some Fluid taken out if I feel it is needed. I meant it when I said watching my friend go through that made me sad. She wanted so much to have restriction that she rushed it and stayed sick for a few months. That led to her eating slider foods and stalling her weight loss. My loss actually is fairly slow (around 1-2 lbs per week now), but I am happy with it. Continue on with your new plan, you sound like you are doing amazingly well. When we hold ourselves accountable to OURSELVES we succeed.:cursing:

Thank you Donna, and good luck with your fill. I made it through today without getting sick. So, I guess all is good for now. Believe me, I will definitely get some taken out if I start getting sick again. I can't handle that. I am SUCH a baby about throwing up. :biggrin: Of course, this isn't as bad as that, but close enough.

That happens to me all the time. I put two line spaces between my paragraphs to be able to separate them.

It IS good to see a post from you again, you are such an inspiration to us all. I don't do facebook or myspace. It would probably mortify my teenagers.:biggrin:

Tabithan, you are going to be successful with this because you have realized where you went wrong and you are taking positive steps to remedy it. I am glad you found FitDay. I love it!!! It is an amazing tool. I log everything that goes into my mouth. I try to keep my calories between 1200-1500. I occasionally go over, but I don't stress over it. On the addiction, I think the tendency to be addicted to anything runs in families: alcohol, food, gambling, etc. I have an addictive personality. My father and his father were addicted to alcohol. My mother's mom was addicted to prescription drugs years ago. I had a double dose of genetics, so I stayed far away from alcohol and all drugs even OTC ones. Unfortunately, you can't stay away from food, it is something you have to consume every day. Now, I have a tool to help me. SDchick: it sounds like you may be too tight. Check with your surgeon. If you fills are covered already, you may want to do a partial or even complete unfill and then go every two weeks until you get the right restriction. You shouldn't be getting sick that much. My friend went through that and she was completely unfilled 3 weeks ago and is on the journey to getting filled again. She is going for her second refill this week, and she is doing great now. Good Luck

Wow, it has been a hectic few days for me. Today is my birthday, I am now 41. My DD made me hot fudge sundae cake of which I ate a small piece with one scoop of vanilla icecream. Quite an amazing feat considering it is incredibly tasty and I used to consume 2 pieces with 3 scoops of icecream. I told my DH to not buy me anything for my birthday (I meant it) because I bought clothes yesterday. Gotta love that Lane Bryant buy one get one free on everything in the store!!!! I am now 4 sizes smaller in my jeans and 2-3 sizes smaller in my tops. I had my second fill last week and it is now acting up (tight little bugger). I have pbed 3 times in the last 3 days!!!!! I never was sick before this. The first time was on a piece of whole wheat toast, second time on turkey (not dry) and the third was this morning after my second bite of scrambled eggs. Ok, I can understand the turkey and whole wheat toast, but I can't deal with the scrambled eggs. Dangit, if I am going to get sick on eggs, they are gonna have to take some of this out. Sooooo if I get sick again, I will go in to have them take .5 out, because I only had them put 1 in when I went. Good luck to everyone during this holiday season. May we all keep our composure and make it through the holidays lighter, or at least not heavier.:thumbup:

One pound down. Good considering I was just trying to not gain. ***NAME***********START WGHT.*****CURRENT WGHT.********GOAL**********LBS.

I eat rice sometimes and I eat whole wheat pasta. Neither one have given me a problem yet, but I just had my second fill and it is kicking my butt. Soooooo, maybe I have just been lucky prior to now.

My highest weight was 317 and my weight the day of surgery was 310. I now weigh 258 and I am 5'7". This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am 41 years old today (my birthday) and I WISH I would have done this when I was your age. You should look fabulous when you are finished. You are young and your skin probably has good elasticity. Make sure you start working out as soon as you get clearance but take it easy at first. Make sure you ask about stomach exercises, because one post I read on here said their surgeon didn't recommend them for at least 4 months.
