    What is wrong here??

    Number one, your still recovering from surgery. You need to recover. You will loose weight. Liquid diets are just until you can tolerate real food. And you may not have any restiction without a fill. Number two, you must exercise. You can be tight as a tick and still not loose weight if you aren't exercising. Good luck!

    Non-Scale Victories Thread

    Here's my victory, I bought a dress in the women's department!! Not the plus sizes!!! I must admit that it was a very stretchy material with a very full skirt to cover my still plus size bottom, but I was so thrilled the sales clerk thought I was crazy. And it was on sale! What more could I hope for?:mad2:

    who's needs to rant and rave

    Hey China, Have you tried on any of your "tight" clothes recently? (I am assuming you have a closet full of different sized clothing like I do). Or even go to the store and try on an outfit. I think you'll find that you've probably gone down a size. While you may not have lost much weight, you are building muscle mass with your workouts. Muscle weighs a lot, but it will help you to burn more fat as you continue your workouts. Sometimes the scale isn't the best indicator of your progress. Keep up the good work!
  9. Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep up the great progress.
  10. Are you exercising? It sounds counterintuitive, but I get more energized when I can drag my tired body over to the treadmill.
  11. I love my fill! dropped 5 lbs and down to 225! Yippiee
  12. I was banded on Dec 12th and have 4.8 cc in my band. I don't have any restriction about what I can eat, but I do feel full quicker and don't get hungry between meals. I'll probably get another fill to help me reduce my portion sizes.

    What did you eat today!!

    I've got to share with you guys one of my favorite meals before and after banding, come to find out on the daily plate is actually healthy! Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten on the Food Network) has this recipe for chicken chili that is absolutely delicious. I don't know how to put a link to the Food Network website, but you can find the recipe there. I love it with a tablespoon of fat free sour cream on top. :scared2:

    Butter Tub Savers

    Okay, I have to be the safety police here. Its not safe to reheat food in those plastic containers in the microwave. Nasty chemicals leech out of the plastic and into the food. I still use some to store in the fridge, but I put the food on a plate to reheat. I'm gradually replacing all the plastic containers with pyrex containers.
  15. I gained a pound. I kept hoping it was water weight, but its still there. I've been neglecting the treadmill and its way too cold to go outside. Monday is my fill! So for this week, I'm at 231.
