I will try that - I've switched to eating salad with a few croutons (low fat) and once in awhile some bacon bits. I've also added a little bit of low fat cheese. I probably was just making the wrong food choices. I've had problems with bread from the start - if it was soft it got stuck, the same with chicken breast, so I eat dark meat instead!

Hi I need assistance - I am not real computer savy, I am trying to get my ticker to appear in my signature, but it's not. I've copied the HTML, but don't know how to get it to work. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for help

I loved it - really cute -
I'm swimming, I trying to keep the schedule of 3 time a week. The part that really is tough for me is standing in the gym drying my hair - all the "little people" look at me! I guess I'm paranoid!!

Thank you all. I've been trying to stay away from bread, it seems to get stuck, plus I didn't want the carbs. But I will try whole wheat and make myself a 1/2 of sandwich. I'm hoping the fill will help cause I want to maintain a steady weight loss. I guess my problem is I'm not being patient enough!!

Could someone tell me where you find the cute scales that are in your signatures? I'd love to have one to track my progress. Thank you

We say things like: Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split ya! My mother used to say, "I've got your number" When asked "what ya doing", the response is "molding to keep my mildewing"

Having issues with not loosing - probably eating too much. Need to reduce amount of food eating, slow down and drink more water. Have found out that what I am experiencing is normal which makes me feel a little better - but still does not put me in control. Got to get back into the groove, - swimming and watching what I eat. Eat less - drink more!!

Please tell me that the amount of food I eat will decrease and that my hunger will go away. I have been eating a healthy diet, protein and low fat, nothing fattening, fried, etc. However, the amount of food it takes to fill me up is still quite a bit and I don't see the weight coming off. I don't want to be hungry - - I did those types of diets in the past. I've had one fill so far and will have my second next week!! Anyone that has any suggestions - please let me know. :think :pout: :funscale:
-
Thank you all. I feel better knowing that I am normal and it will improve. I go for my Second Fill on Monday April 3rd!! I will try all your suggestions and keep my fingers crossed.

What is average weight loss before 1st fill?
ginger3151 replied to sumlike2h8's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It is so great to find out that what I am experiencing is normal!! I thought I was the exception to the rule! I've had my first fill and feel no restriction. In fact, I was asking myself the same questions - so it's great to learn it will improve. I am changing my life style, eating high Protein, low fat, etc. I am trying to use Water as a filler - - but when that doesn't work, I eat stuff like Melba toast, or low fat pretzels!! Thank you all for making me feel Normal!!! Ginger3151 -
First Six Months of Lap Band: Average Weight Loss??
ginger3151 replied to bwaydiva's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Please tell me that the weight will start falling off - -- don't know what I am doing wrong. Have had my first fill and have only lost 4 lbs. A total of 14, but the liquid and soft diet after surgery get to take credit for that!! Is it because I'm still eating too much? I have changed my eating habits and don't eat the foods I used to - -I buy and use all low fat ingredients, etc. Am I just being too anxious? Any suggestions??? -
Thank you- maybe my next fill will help. I am eating a healthy diet protein, low fat, etc. No gravies or sauces. I am exercising - I swim at least 2 to 3 times a week, so I am anxious to see if the next fill will help! I don't like not loosing!
