WERE YOU BANDED 9/5/07?

MIA31, I REALLY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FOLLOW THE DR. DIET THAT HE GAVE ME. I AGREE THAT I 'M NOT LOSING FAST BECAUSE I ONLY HAD A BMI OF 39 AND WEIGHT 223. BUT I GET SO FUSTRATED THAT I AM LOSING SO SLOW. I'M GLAD YOUR ALMOST LOSING THE SAME AS I AM. I DECIDED TO TALK TO A DIETICIAN FOR A FEW food IDEAS, BECAUSE I'M THINKING THAT I MIGHT BE EATING SOME THINGS THAT I THINK IS GOOD,BUT MIGHT NOT BE! PLEASE STAY INTOUCH. I'LL TRY TO TALK WITH YOU MORE IN THE P.M.:biggrin:

GIRLFRIEND, when you start slimming, ya'll know exactly what you are doing! It's like a big ball of slimm that comes out with or with out food. Don't worry you'll experience it soon enough!

WHAT DID YOUR DR. TELL YOU ABOUT LOSING SO SLOW???

I had a fill 10/15 and my Dr. does not let his patients know how much he will put in the band. I was a little confused as to why wouldn't he give me that information?

I WILL BE GOING FOR THE 7TH FILL AND EACH TIME I GO IT HURTS. ITS A PAIN THAT I'M WILLING TO TAKE. BUT IS THIS IT ? OR WILL IT START TO FEEL LESS PAINFUL?

Help Me Understand, When I Eat I Get Like A Tightness Or A Feeling Like I Need To Burp. Is That The 'full Feeling"or What? I Just Don't Know If That 's What I Am Suppose To Be Feeling!

I Have Been Trying For 2 Weeks To Update My Tickler, Has Anyone Else Had Trouble??

Are You Guys Serious? Nothing Goes Down In The Mornings For Me . I Have To Skip Breakfast!! I Was Banded 9/5/07, When Were You Guys Banded??

Banded 9-5-07 Lost Only 27lbs. But Not Giving Up!!

I WAS FEELING VERY FUSTRATED ABOUT MY FILLS. I HAD 6FILLS AND COULDN'T EAT THAT MUCH BUT WASN'T LOSING. AND THEN TODAY I GOT ON THE SCALE AND "BAM" 4LBS GONE , AFTER WEIGHING MYSELF FOR THE LAST 8 DAYS. I AM SO EXCITED BECAUSE I AM A SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOSER. I JUST NEEDED TO SHARE!!:wink2::Dancing_biggrin:

Wow, we got banded the same day. And for some reason I only lost half of what you have. It's been hard because I don't know why. I think that I'm staying faithful on my eating, but for some reason, I'm losing soooooooooooo slow!

After hearing your lost,I feel horrible. I only lost 23lbs and I was banded 9/5/07. What are you eating? Could you give me a typical day!

Do you go to the meetings in houma? I think I will start going just to see if I'm the only one losing soooooooooooooo slow!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT! I AM 4 1/2 MONTHS OUT AND STILL WAITING TO LOSE WITH HAVING 6 FILLS. I HAD A BMI OF 39. I WEIGHT IN AT 223LBS, MY HEIGHT IS 5'3. I DON'T EAT VERY MUCH, AND I WEIGHT MYSELF EVERY MORNING, WAITING FOR THE SCALE TO STOP MOVING UP AND DOWN FROM 198 TO 200LBS. THE DR. SWEARS THAT ONCE I GET THE SWEET SPOT I WILL LOSE FASTER. I FEEL LIKE A LOSER BECAUSE MOST OF YOU OUT THERE HAS LOST SO MUCH MORE THAN ME. BANDED 9/5/07. WHAT COULD I BE DOING WRONG? AND NO, I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN EXCERCISING BUT I EAT ALOT LESS THAN I NORMALLY DO. IS IT THE FILL? IS IT THE FOOD? IS IT ME NOT BEING PATIENT(4 MONTHS) WHAT? WHAT IS IT?:confused:

What Type Of Spices Do You Put On Fish? And Who Has A Good Side Dish To Go With That? Just Trying To Get Some Goood Ideas!!

I have to admit for the holidays I cheated a little, but i've been on track every since. I eat alot of fish and veggies and i eat soup alot, that's why i'm so fustrated.I even do weight watchers dessert (1 or 2 points) if i get a sweet tooth. Sometimes I feel like out of the 100's of patients that my Dr. has I am the one the band is not going to work for.You know "another weight loss attempt" failed. I know I should be happy that i lost what i've lost already, and i really am, but you know how it is to really feel that "this has got to work, surgery) and it's not working out like you thought it would? Well, I'm a christian women, so I'll just wait on God to take care of this situation and have patients!

I have more of a hiccup and it's LOUD, i do it after every meal and my 10 year old sits at the table and waits for mom to sound like a frog!!

DR. RAU IS A DR. IN HOUMA, YOU LIVE IN THE AREA , DON'T YOU??

Does Anyone Think That Having A Lower Bmi Could Be A Reason Why The Weith Is Coming Off Soooooooooo Slow? My Bmi Was 39 When I First Had My Surgery!

Guys, sometmes I can have a food and it goes down good and the very next day(the same food):smile: it could give me problems.Whats up with that???

I AGREE, BREAKFAST IS STILL THE HARDEST MEAL TO FIND FOR THE DAY. I still like to eat oatmeal, but sometimes the mornig meals go down hard!!

Who did your surgery? Was it DR. Rau ??

Hi from Thibodaux. Dr. Eric Rau did my surgery. Banded 9/5/07 and only lost 19lbs, not really happy about that!! Anyone else has Dr. Eric Rau??

Great thread!! I was so fustrated about my slow weight lose, but this thread lets me know I'm not by myself. I have been banded for 4mths,11days and only lost 19lbs. I feel like it's just me and i'm never going to be skinny.
