Lose100lbs

Congratulations!!!! #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

Hi guys, how are you? I hope all is well. I am a new member. I have been having my band for almost 3 years, since May 2009. I have never found restriction. I am ready for the green zone!!! Lol. Here is my story, I am currently 299lbs. When I decide to have the band I was young and uneducated on the whole procedure. All I knew was I was 22yrs old at 320 lbs. I lost the 15lbs pre surgery my Dr. required on a two week liquid diet. After the surgery I would go up and down like 20lbs nothing major. I have an 11cc band, I am filled with 8.5cc. I sometime do throw up if I eat to fast or if I don’t chewy food smaller. I can feel any liquids go down as I drink them, but I don't have any restriction. October 2011 I got up to my biggest 332.6lbs. I lost 33lbs of it on my own with cutting my carbs and calorie intake. My last visit to the Dr. was January of this year, I was 307lbs. and my band was at 8cc she added .5cc to bring me to 8.5cc. I only lost 8lbs since January. I have made an appointment to see the Dr. in May. I want to try 9.5cc, to see if that is my green zone. What do you think? On my last visit my Dr. said that the band may not be for me, that crush my heart. Idk what to do. 5 days before my next visit to the Dr. in May , I am going to do a 5 day pouch test to help reset my band. I just want to loose 100lbs. Is there any hope left for me. Thank you for listening bandsters...I wish I would have gotten involved in this support group prior to surgery. I love all the advice and support you all give one another. Thanks again

Thanks for all the support, I feel great that I can come here to get help!!!! #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

Thanks for the support in believing I can do this. This has been one of the most challenging things in my life. Its easy for people to point the finger and play the blame game. I admit I should be better than where I am, but I dont know how to get there. I am starting over with the band to achieve my goal. I just wish I could get to my green zone. My emotions are beginning to run high because I feel hopeless. I want to be able to eat only 3 times a day and be fine. I dont want my life to be about food anymore. I just wish I could fine a solid answer to my hunger issues. Am I full? Am I listening to by body? I cant wait to visit with my Dr. Thanks Jen75:-) #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

Sorry for posting the last comment twice, but for the most part I try to eat all my Protein first. One of my biggest problem truthfully is eating while drinking. If I dont drink while eating some foods there is no way I could get it down. #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

I was thinking the same, but I honestly dont know if I am truly hungry. I have read several post describing head hunger. I thought maybe, that is the case with me. Also, some people I have talk to are unable to foods such as bread, chicken, Pasta, rice...I can eat ALL of these. Is that a sign that I am not tight enough #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

Hi, yeah I have a nutritionist. I know the amount of calories and Protein I should take in, the problem starts when my meals dont hold me over. #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

Hi, now I can eat pretty much of anything, but I try not too. I must say in the morning I be really full without eating, but after 11:00 I am starving and it never stop. I have had the band for almost three years. I want to find my green zone so bad. since October of last year I have lost 31lbs, but that was on my own, I walked all the time and ate healthy, but now I hit a wall. I can't do it by myself, I need more restriction. I wounder how many cc will it take to get me full 9 or 10cc? I hope I am not one the band donot work for. Also I am a night eater, I wake up in the middle of the night hungry. I feel like I am in a nightmare. I try Protein drinks, but it dont full me....thanks for listening :-) #I.Just.want.to.lose.100lbs

Hi guys, I just joined yesterday looking for help and support. I have had my band for almost 3 years. In the beginning I make have only lost about 10-15lbs. I am soo confused to whats going on with me. I have a 12cc band, and I am at 8.5cc. I have not found my green zone at all. I am lost on what I should do. I had my last fill in January 2012, my Dr. also checked for any problems, I had none. The worst part of it all he said the band may simply not be for me. I hope not, I really want and need this to work. Any advice, I am open to anything. Please help :-(
