this is a great idea for a forum... now i know to save my clothes and see if anyone needs them on here!!! I started in a 2x scrubs and am down to a large but i cannot bring myself to buy them when i know hopefully i wont be in them long ) Ami

I need some new songs!!! ))

I also was on mine when i had my surgery!! just tell them!! Ami

I am in the same boat you are.. I feel like i have to eat everything (( what did your nutrionist say?? I got tomorrow for another fill i think i have 6cc right now? not to sure though..

I had surgery on Dec 23rd, i never started on any Vitamins but i feel like i should have. So i want to start. I went to walmart and got a Multivitamin, bioten (sp), Fiber, and a Vitamin b complex. Is there anything else that i should be taking. I seen some people taking papya enzymes. So i wanted to check to see what other people are taking.. Ami

great job!!!

ok ladies and gents, i have lost 50 lbs since surgery which was dec 23rd.. But i have been stuck at that 50lbs since about the middle of April! I eat right, i stay around 1000-1200 calories and i work out every day!! I would LOVE to lose about 50 more but it just doesnt seem to be nudging! Does anyone have any suggestions. Oh and i think i have about 4-5 cc's in my 10cc band. When your in the green zone does it seem to fall off again?? I start going to a new doc on the 4th but im afraid he wont fill me since its my "new doc" appt (( Ami

yes all of them LOL... Somtimes i find myself getting back into old habits ( I did not think about the whole fruit/carb thing i eat a big bowl of fruit for lunch... I really need to eat more protein i HATE cooking though!!! No i am scared to death to drink cabonated drinks LOL I cannot wait to be full on a little bit of food!! hopefully soon )

i just tried to add you and it said i was already your friend ) LOL

Thank you so much.. i also weighed 252 when i started and i cannot seem to get under 200 lbs i did make it to 198 but gained 6 lbs after running a 5k and am stuck at 202 right now I also am not sure what is in my band bc the last time i went in i thought i had 4 but when he pulled everything out including the 1cc he was going to put in there was only 4cc in the needle ( so somtimes i wonder if my band is leaking:( i sure hope not!!! i guess we will see what this new doc says and i also really need to start using my fitness pal again!!! Thank you again!! Ami

Here is my picture. Everyone is doing great.

Pampered chef also makes a really yummy recipe

plus you are only a month and half out.. havent had a first fill yet. I am about to go for my 3rd fill and im still not in the green zone.. I try and stay around 1000 and i exersize 3-4 times a week burning approx 400-600 each time. it takes burning 3500 calories to lose 1 lb!!!!!! you will get there. I had my surgery 12/23 and have lost 45 i have hit about 3 plateus (sp) so far!!! keep your head up ) Ami

I was banded 12/23 i have had 2 fills. I think i have about 3.5cc in a 10cc band. My question is i am NOT starving between meals but i eat more then i should. For example yesterday we went to chilis and i got a margarita chicken i can eat the whole thing without feeling overly full. I go for another fill this wednesday (oh and i have lost almost 15 lbs since my last fill which was 6 weeks ago) so back to my question how much should i be eating to feel FULL i thought it was 1/2 cup??? Ami

i hurt about that long also. i remember calling a friend asking her if it was normal and she said yes. she also explained to me to think about how much they had to cut through and it was a pretty big opening and they proably had to shove that port through that hold and stitch it back up LOL... so then i understood hahaha!!! it will get better.. mine hurts now every once in a while if i bump it etc!!! Ami

How is everyone doing. I was banded 12/23 and I'm down 45 lbs ))

phew im glad im not the only one i was getting very worried!!!!

I heard he is really good! I used dr fischer at christ.. he also was really good ) Ami

great job!!!

Why is it that i can eat a 6 inch flat bread sub from subway and it doesnt get stuck or hurt going down, but when i eat a small chili from wendys it hurts on the left side??? Ami

I hope so... thanks gals!!! Ami
