i think the (2 glasses of water) is what makes you feel full and lessen your hunger feeling.

seems if one exercises, and get their heart racing, this is also a fat burning thing.

started seeing more hair around the drain 2 months out....now into my 4th month, not as much..hoping it stops soon as i have fine hair to begin with...yikes... as jeanie (bandqueen) said, up the protein *what i am doing* and the biotin..

i will have first pick on the sexy........aj and mad can be the *fun* only room for one gorgeous babe......that be ME

ok, so you admitted a failure and yes you can start over. but the question is why did you eat the cheese its? so what. (more concerned as it was not a great choice of food to eat). if you are hungry, eat. choose a better choice. eating is not a bad thing in life. you can eat what you want but just in smaller amounts. failure is a stupid thing to say in regards to yourself. so you ate some crackers so what. you can stay down on yourself and get back on that diet woe is me life that we all did when we were dieting and before surgery.....or you can deal with it head on and make yourself well. so you ate it. move on. you need to find that want power and do what you have to do. no excuses. you can do it

id def discuss with the dr's. on my preop, i could not have any sugar (and the items i could have) contained those artificial items. they may have an alternative plan for you. again, best to ask the dr as they are the ones who will be doing the surgery and can offer you the best advice.

as the others said, if there is any doubts/concerns, instead of posting on here, call the dr and refer to them and let them advise. ((you must stay hyrdated))

not only have (we) changed on the outside with weight my sister shrcum (and maddy) but we changed on the inside. we now see ourselves with hope. hope that we can be healthy. and once we (tasted) that success, we went for it. i am so glad i have you guys with me on my lap band/plication journey. it makes my road alot easier. ((much love))

to me, and this is just me, it is the same as eating a full meal (for example like thanksgiving dinner). granted everyone will answer this differently. karen is correct in her response. overeating is not a good thing and it is very uncomfortable. the band will help you feel full with less. i stop eating at a cup of food and i eat very slow (takes about 20 to 25 min to eat) and i set my fork down in between bites and enjoy the (taste) of the food instead of pretending like i havent ate in months and eat so fast i am done before i start.....with me, i get baby hiccups.....that is my sign that says CG, you are done eating. so i stop. its def a mind thing also. some will try to try out how much (they can eat) and actually post i can eat like i did before the band. very stupid. eat til you are satisfied and then stop. with the band life, we are living....not living to eat.

based of the persons (dont hate me) age, size, weight one has to lose, their physical limitations.....etc.....it depends on the person. in my thoughts and in my dr's recommendation, as long as you are losing, the number doesnt matter. (some larger people loose faster than some who dont have as much to lose) but to lose a pound is the same for everyone. so how about focusing on losing and getting healthy instead of the diet numbers game. that is how i am doing it.

jeannie.....chandelier swinging can be so much fun.....just saying..

your words...***'m eating junk all the time but it's like I just can't stop myself.*** yes you can if you want to. use your want power and not rely on (things like i cant stop myself). is those foods you are eating (that you say is junk) are they forcing you to eat them? are they putting a sugar bowl to your head and saying eat me?? no, they are not. take charge of yourself. do what you know is right. stop eating at 1 cup of food. protein first (3-4 oz) then some veggies and maybe a fruit. and drink (alot) to help curb so called hunger and keep you hydrated. if you want to lose weight (and you do as you had the surgery) and went through hell to get it done...then do something about it. start right now. clean slate. dont worry about what is done. that is gone. elvis is not coming back. make it happen. (this forum, we got your back).

there are some great names for our bands.....i dig them all... mad, hub found some flip flops that said born grumpy on them you know i told him to go back and buy them........

Super slim student Nerina Orton has got the UK's tiniest waist of 15.7 inches, after spending 23 hours a day in a corset. The 22-year-old is less than an inch away from breaking the world record of 15 inches held by American Cathie Jung. Nerina, from Birmingham, even sleeps in her corset and takes it off only to shower. 'sleeping in the corset was uncomfortable at first. I felt like I had a rod lined up against my back and I couldn't curl up into a ball. Then I had a corset custom made, which was a lot more comfortable and fit my shape better. 'My ribs have moved closer together, so the doctor checks my spine to make sure it hasn't moved out of line or fractured. 'My insides move around a lot too, so the doctor checks that my organs aren't being damaged. I've never had a problem though, apart from feeling a little light-headed.' But boyfriend of one year Cai Lansdown, who lives with Nerina, worries that she is doing lasting damage to her body. She said: 'He’s always loosening my corset and saying that if I’m not careful, I’ll cut my liver in half one day. 'But that’s just a myth the Victorians made up. 'There’s no proof that corsets affect your health, so I don’t see why I should stop wearing them.' Owns 78 corsets worth £15,000 Has squeezed 6 inches off her waist in nine years Only takes her corset off to shower Is 1in away from breaking the world record of 15inches Visits the doctor each year to check her spine isn't damaged

what doesnt hurt us anymore? hair spray bad for the air and for us to breath in even my toothpaste has ingredients i cant pronounce or even know what it is what is better? natural i would guess but i do use items that use artificial ingredients. just how it is in our worlds. i do know this to be true, just because it says natural or organic, doesnt mean it is or that is better unless you pick it off a tree, pull from ground, milk the cow, its processed like i have learned in my newly banded life, everything in moderation

if you dont your eating habits with the sleeve or bypass, you wont lose weight either you have to help yourself for any wls (to work).

i agree....just plain stupid...

well some grown up stuff is fun............

valid point aj........i stand corrected

i am only able to (walk) at the moment how many other bandies are only walking right now? let me hear from you and what you do in regards to walking...
