although in the 1st month of being banded, i lost 30lbs but now my weight loss has totally slowed down. it slowed down to a pound a week, which is acceptable but now its like a pound a month!!!:Banane30: i am spinning 3 days a week, since august and starting tomorrow i am going to do tae bo and the firm on days that i am not spinning. i do know that i will graze when i'm not even hungry! i have been actually full but still want to put something in my mouth! i dont get that. whats that all about? they say you have to figure out why you're eating. well i know that its out of boredom!:bored so now what do i do since i identified that?? i have been totally stuffed and hurting but STILL put something in my mouth

so do i...mmmmm.... but i used to sleep on my stomach but now i most sleep on my side or back. that really started right after my surgery and since i wear the cpap too, its just more comfy on my side.

yeah...that makes sense...a lot of sense thanks!!!

wow, we are or were the same starting weight and almost the same current, having the same goal!!! but like you i am wondering the same thing. i had my 3rd fill in July and suffered no feelings of tightness, vomitting etc but i would like to know what a "satisfied" feeling is. i would always feel a good restriction for the 1st day or 2 but then not so much. i find now that i feel a strong restriction around that time of the month. other than that, i feel like i eat waaaaaaaay too much. not alot for a normal person but alot to be banded and filled 3x!!

i have a 10cc band and its filled to 4.5?? i dont fully understand if i have 10cc why i'm as tight as i can go. they took me to 5cc during my last fill but they unfilled 1/2 because it was too tight. when i go again for a visit i will totally ask for clarification on the 10cc thing.

oh is that what can happen, you loose restriction with weightloss?? wow. i was just sending my nurse an email about the lack of restriction i feel:eek: i was told that i was "filled up to capacity" when i got my 3rd fill in july. i dare not ask for another fill but now maybe thats is the case. the only time i feel restriction is when i get my period. for that week its tight!:car:

i'm in!! i will be taking a spin class 3x a week(if not more!!) for 1 hour. my goal is to exercise 6x a week.

everyone is different but i was banded in march and lost 30lbs in less than a month. after that and right up to now i have been losing about a pound a week. my doctor did give me a fill 8 weeks after on my 1st visit back. actually he told me not to wait so long if i didnt feel restriction. i agree with others, although its frustrating you want to see instant results, it takes time just like it did to gain it. 1-2lbs a week is the best for you!!!:clap2: they'll be times when you wont lose and times when you gain a little. you may be stuck on the same weight for what seems an eternity but your body will kick start and shed it. eat right and exercise. start your new life and take responsibility. you'll love yourself more for it!!!:biggrin1:

i saw it today in gnc! i had my hands on it but decided to wait until went to bj's or another store for a better price. so could i drink that as a replacement meal, no right? its just so much protein in it and if we have 3 meals a deal and get enough protein, is that protein overload...if there is such a thing(for our needs) how do you all incorporate this in your day?

thanks so much for the reviews!! i am almost dying to try the unjury. can you only buy that online? i will try the eas since i know i saw that at walmart.

thanks, all very good suggestions. i have to find the isopure and see if i like it.

oh wow thank!! i'm at work and couldnt remember what we can and can not take. i hardly take pills anyway(pain pills) but i'm sore too.
