IM off track! I can't seem to get out this funk! Is this normal or do I need a kick in the butt? I think I need a kick but I'm just off track. I'm not losing weight at all! I'm stuck at 199 which is a 5 pound gain from surgery. I do not have fluid in my band yet but I'm 1 month post op. What are some of you eating to burn. I'm not a breakfast person. I'm not a fan of sweet breakfast like oatmeal so what do I eat? Help! Someone grab me and slap me back to reality. I'm out of control!

I sure hope so. I can't wait to get near the green zone.

It my first fill an hour ago. Feeling good! It wasn't as bad as I thought. Needles don't bother me anyways but a weird sensation however no pain. He says starting tomorrow get my weight and in a week if I don't lose then I better get my butt on track. I felt as if he new I are a waffle this morning :-( I think my days for bread is over

It's all me to. I know I can be putting in a better effort to eat right. I need to get moving too! I'll be patient...besides I keep telling myself this is not I diet it's my new life. this is right...its not dieting its changing what we eat and moving you got a great attitude..dont make me hunt you down woman,,,, Lol you are too awesome.!!! I'm getting motivate. Thank you for lifting me up and keeping it real!!!

Yea I think he trying to get my weight moving then it will probably slow down. I want to be tight too. I shouldn't have had him remove anything. I'm so new at this I'm so afraid of the horror of slipping.

All of you guys are awesome really! So much advise I'm feeling better about my first full today. I got 2.5cc he had to let some out cause the water swished back up but in a week if I don't lose weight he says he is going to adjust it again. Overall all is good.

It's all me to. I know I can be putting in a better effort to eat right. I need to get moving too! I'll be patient...besides I keep telling myself this is not I diet it's my new life.

Thank you Lady VS. I think I can handle cottage cheese and fruit. That actually sounds pretty good

Thanks you guys!!!!

Thank you ladies! Your both awesome! I got my band 10/22/13 I may get an adjustment 12/3. So far no fluid yet bet I will try to get moving. Thanks again and much luck to you

Got cha lol

I will TRY to keep this short and sweet. A lot of us are new to this whole band thing. We are trying to learn so if you think our questions are dumb don't reply. No one has to be a you know what about their opinions. Everything is in moderation, good or bad. I'm a genetically fat human on top of going through the band change (5 days post op only ) give me a break. I didn't get this band to be miserable or "skinny" I refuse to cross over and be the "skinny stuck up B" I just want to be a humble me in a new healthy body. I look back and see a lot of people who started off sweet as cupcakes pre band and you now, I'm taken back. (Is this what going to happen to my sweet personality when I lose weight? ) I come here for support, something I don't get with a lapband through my family so please if you don't have something nice to say keep moving there are other people you can talk to trust me. Sincerely the freshman

Well I feel much better even though I cried last night. Normally my emotions are pacified by food so, last night I ran to the kitchen only to stop myself and say wait what can I eat? Ah forget it. Lol I went to bed without guilt. Haha thanks all of you for your replies they mean so much to me really they do. I wish everyone the best support and luck. Thanks beautiful ladies

Very true! But she was pretty clear when she insulted my surgeon and his team. No mistake there. It was in clear text and yes I felt taken back because naturally they are my team. My home I go back to. It wasn't how she text it but what was actually put into words in a private message.

I'm just trying to get an idea of good foods. So how about corn on the cob or baked potato?

I know the rules but I guess I'm still fighting my fat girls mind who just wanted some Mexican corn tonight lol I had an excellent nutritionist who gave me good tools. I know what's good and bad I don't want any of my question to reflect my knowledge on what was taught to me because they are a very good group. I was asking as far and food getting stuck, how corn feels going through the band etc. I guess it is trail and error and I do have to find out what works for me , but the good thing is I settle for my provided diet so I'm clear. The urge had passed for now. It's a battle

Boost may have a sugar free line but it may be in a different section but yes boost taste great. High protein!

I'm so relieved to know that I'm not alone. I find that my pain meds don't help the discomfort. I can't say it's pain but it's a dull irritating feeling. I also can't take a deep breath. I can't lay in my left side either. Yea I'm with you guys, the gas is a pain. My pain meds also constipates me so I'm trying not to take so much of that cause I haven't had a BM either not sure if that's normal. I hate calling my doctors office because I don't want to be that patient that calls for every thing but. I guess time will tell I'm only 4 days post op

Thank you faith!! I sure hope so

3 days post op and no desire to eat. Can't wait until I'm feeling better :-/

Carolinagirl you deserve and work hard for this. Don't feel bad people are going to have their negative comments. I over heard my sister telling my mom how I'm going to look like a crack head when I lose weight. They don't understand I control this but keep your head up your beautiful and well let me say this people closer to us may hurt us more but it's drill something we decided and nothing can take it away

I can't wait to get there. This mark my 24 hour mark. I am hurting girl. But seeing that you are well gives me hope
