Not really sure

I usually get chicken, fajita veggies, black beans, cheese, mild salsa and cheese

So the last couple of days I was in panic mode from not seeing weight loss on the scale. My nutritionist knows me so well that she did a follow up call with me. I expressed my concerned and she made my day... losing inches at a time is fine with me! I decided to stay away from the scale for a while. Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback Ive received so far

I can eat those everyday lol

Its even better without the rice!

I was on liquid foods from the 8-16th. After that i was put on soft foods but what's the difference between soft and regular diets lol? The sample menus I was given pretty much are the same in my opinion. As far as my exercises im just walking for now... they want me to do 30 minutes but I go for a hour. I feel good and people tell me Im losing but the scale say something totally different

15 days post op and still no weight lost. I go to the gym and work out everyday and I follow the menu plan as best as I can. Should I be concern because I'm feeling like a failure already

How often are you suppose to get your band filled?

So I was banded on 2weeks ago and I must say I noticed I couldn't eat a 1/2 of cup of yogurt without getting full. Now I don't have that "full feeling" at all and I get my first fill February 20th. Is this normal?

I know that journey already... food i couldn't stand eating such as beans... i have cravings for! I'm shocked lol

Lol well I want that feeling back right now! Im just super excited

So I was banded on the 8th of January. I must say that Ive struggled with my weight so long I want to see results like right now but I understand that this too takes time. Any suggestions on how to take my mind off this before I freak out??

I started to clean my closet out but then i got discouraged for some odd reason

Thank you again guys. The surgery went well. Just a little sore....

Hey guys Im about to get banded!!!!

Thanks guys!!!!!

Thank you!! :-)

Do anyone regret getting banded and if so why? I've been having these terrible dreams lately and I'm beginning to get extremely nervous.

I get mine January 8th but my primary doctor still haven't cleared me for the surgery yet.

Is the diet required? My surgery is on the 8th of January and my nutrition class is on the 4th and nobody has mention a liquid diet yet.... should I do the diet just as a precaution?

Does anyone know if bcbs cover reconstructive surgery?

I have told only a selected few about my decision regarding the lap band. No one in my family know yet because they always have something negative to say and it don't surprise me. What surprises me is the friends I have shared this info with can be so mean. I'm getting this done because I don't want to be obese anymore & struggle with the health issues I have now. Yes I ask myself all the time "whatever happened to plain old exercising"... I know me better than anyone do and I can honestly say that wont be enough for me. Needless to say I dont feel I owe anyone an explanation on my decision. If you're a true friend you shouldn't ask for one nor make fun of me... definitely a great time to find new friends!

Thanks guys you're the best!

I'm sitting here watching before and after videos on youtube and I've never seen so many failed "lap band" stories. What if my surgery turns for the worst?
