Hi well your on your way, try soups with protein and blend them well, taste great, eagg sald, tuna sald, cheese and scramble eggs.:clap2:

Hello everyone, Sound like a lot is happening with everyone, I think being summer and all its harder for me to workout, but I'm trying. Drinking Water helps me stay full. I love to go on vacation, this summer it was much better for me to fit on an airplane seat. I lost more weight on vacation due to being more active then at home. It's so hot here now in California don't feel like walking today. Maybe later to night when it cools down. Are bodies are starting to show changes in our skin and clothes, I think that is harder for spouses too see us change, maybe they feel if we stay fat, they have nothing to worry about, no one else is going to look at us, maybe they don't feel secure about are new look. I hope everything works out for you and your family. Getting help is a good thing. Have you also tried a support group for lap band in your area, I have been going and learned al ot about how sometimes your relationships change, learning about myself.

Your working out alot, maybe it's the lack of water or not eating enough, your body might be hanging on to the fat stored. When I was keeping a food chart I saw what I was eating and increased my food intake and it was helping me see what worked for my weigth loss. I know it's hard. I wish I was walking as much as you!:whoo:

I'm eating a protein shake in the morning, mid morning about 20 peanuts or cheese. Then for lunch salad with some kind of beans in it or meat and cheese. I'm drink 100oz of water a day. Dinner chicken, salad or ribs and a salad or fish. Sometime in the morning I have a egg and saugage. Sometime before I go to bed I have eggsalad. Are you doing any walking or going to the gym?

I have been swollen too..... I drank my morning shake and got sick. Over the weekend same thing happen three day in a row. I got adjustment a month ago. Maybe I'm drink to fast or eating to fast also. It's hard to know whats going on with the band.

:whoo:Glad to hear that your new band is working for you. I very happy the surgery went well. Keep me inform of your progress. :clap2:

You're doing Great keep it up....... I was giving away my clothes, but stopped. Now I'm saving them for a consignment store also. I was able to finally get into a size 22 yesterday, made me feel much better about my self. Today while looking for a par of pants to wear, I found a par of size 32 pants, held them up and just shook my head; I can't believe it took me so long to get help. I have now had my second adjustment also, I find myself eating to fast causing me great pain or PB too. You're doing wonderful keep it up:clap2:

I'm with you, it's wrong, buy breaking the law you should have no rights to any services here in the USA at all. Their children should be deported also. The children should be allowed to come back when they reach adult age, is able to work, or get an education. Our four fathers put these laws into place along time ago and with structure for a reason.

Hello, I finally started doing some excise for the month of July, boy it's hard to get going and stay with it. I have made it seven days out of 17. How is everyone else doing? Water is good 64oz a day.:confused: I need to get motivated.....

Hi, I was reading everyone threads, I went and had adj. last Friday, this was my second one in a band that holds 5cc. My first fill was March 30 and now June 22 2007. This has made a big difference for me. Lost five more pounds since then. I really fill full when I eat, I think now the reason I waited so long for my second adj. was I wasn't ready to give up the food........ I could eat a lot more and the weight was come off, but very slow. Now its a big difference in the filling when eating now. Doctor said to come back on three months before having another adj. New weight is 294 haven't been there for over 17 years ago when I had my child. My goal is to weight 150 pounds. Can't wait.....:eek:

I think if you break the law and you are here ilegally with childern that were born in the U.S., you and your family should be removed, Deported, sent back to your country you can from. When the childeren turn 18 can come back. I work to hard, paying taxes, following the laws that were put into place by our goverment. I just came back from China, they are much more together than we are, they have no welfare, homless, everyone works, there childern want an education. I feel they will pass us by, while we have so many problems with with homeless, welfare, ilegallys, high taxes, medical/dental system. Ilegallys are causing U.S. people alot of money......... The U.S has caused these problems, employers hiring ilegallys, allowing then to stand on coners looking for work, doing nothing, let them proprest in the streets, doing nothing, let them file lawsuit case in our courts, doing nothing, healthcare system closing down, ect. ect. U.S. needs to rethink this problem.........

Hello everyone, I found the February Bandsters. I was banded 02/15/2007 before band weight 352, day of band 334 and now 05/25/2007 208 with one fill. After reading everyone quotes, I'm go to call the doctors for a fill appt. I love reading everyone quotes. I dringk over 68 oz of water a day. Don't do well with my first meal of the day, maybe three bites of eggs, but lunch and dinner can eat much more before feeling full. Thanks, Wallygirl

HI, are you loosing any weight now that you had your second fill? I have only had one fill, since the first fill I have only lost 10 pounds. I think I need to and get a second fill and see what happens then. I think I can eat a lot. But not like I use too. Thanks, Wallygirl

Thanks for the info, I'm niw to this site. You look great, after seeing your picture, I'm going to try harder....... Keep it up. Thanks again Wallygirl

I think you're doing good 45 pounds in three months. I was banded the same time as you were. I'm not sure when I'm full either; I want the weight to come off sooner. Next week I attend a class and I'm going to ask the doctors approx. How much weight should I be lossing monthly and when I should get a fill. I go up in down in weight from 306 - 311 in the last two weeks. Let me no how your next fill works out...... Wallygirl

You should try a new doctor too.... I have a lot to loose also, but I think the Band works, so many people on this site have lost over one hundred pounds..... Since pre/post I have lost 46 pounds and still have a lot more to come off. My two friends had the Rny, hair loss, skin saggy, Vitamin lost, must go into get vitamin shots monthly, one replace food with drinking, the other has liver problems from what the after affect. So there is good and bad in everything we do, but I believe this is the less of both surgies. The easyiest on us in healing time, pain. The Band can always be reversed. Hope this helps:) Wallygirl
