alatina

thanks-the thing is is I AM full after a few tablespoons so im in no risk of overeating or drinking with liquids cause honestly I am full for THE WHOLE day with about 1/2 cup of food/soup.At this point Im just eating to get some nourishment and no I do not plan to have any taken out-Im in this to lose weight and get a new focus thats not food.I mean eating has always been the focal point of my day-it has always been a hige part of what my days would be and it was my main concern alot of times so now that it holds no joy then all I can say is WOOHOOOOOOOOOO plus Im down to 184 so Im good with this.

thnx-am having a homemade chicken soup tonight. Where in Aus are you?I love australia-Im getting married there in November-will be on Heron island and melbourne for 3 weeks.Going to spend one weekend in cairns barrier reef diving.

ok well apparently I was one of these people who took a few days for the fill to truly kick in cause now I have SERIOUS restriction-Im lucky to get in 4 spoonfuls of cream soup before feeling completely stuffed.I can not eat anything of substance-tried to eat some taco meat-just the meat-nothing else and about died.Oh well guess Ill clear soup it for awhile-this oughtta kick this weight loss into gear eh?I cant eat chicken salad which sucks as that was my protein before since it was only meat I could handle.I cant eat apple or even a full yoplait yogurt-geez.Good thing is Im not hungry but bad thing is is Im getting no substance or true nourishment-any ideas of what to eat to make it ok until I get adjusted?

minimum amount of food-I want my protein and such but want to eat as little with as little calories as possible and feel full-tell me what you eat in a day .Thanks:)

I was perfectly fine-we flew from San Diego to Houston-you should most likely be fine oh and I flew out that next day after surgery.

wow susu you were banded less than month ago and they are already doing fills?mine said wait minimum of 6 weeks.

mine was filled 2 ccs the first fill.

Ive busted out all my diet books today and bought me a deep freezer so am going to cook up some Atkins soups and Dr Phil stuff and put into single serve containers tomorrow-going to Whole Foods (ironically a healthy organic store is my fave store-lol)later or tomorrow and stock up on good stuff.I loove salad just need to knock off using buttermilk ranch on it-I love homemade buttermilk ranch.

When were you banded? April 27, 2005 What was your weight ON DAY OF SURGERY? 214 What is your weight now? 191 What size do you wear? 18/20 How tall are you? 5'3

yes la Madam it does-the band hasnt been the fixall miracle cure I had hoped for but Ill work it out....hopefully.

oh yeah I forget Im actually at 3.5 cc-had .5 put in at time of surgery

I have the Inamed 10 with 4cc max fill capacity-so far nothin major is going on with it-hope it squishes up tonight or something-I had 4 crackers with chicken salad on them for dinner and was full but thats usually what I eat so.....

well he filled it with 2ccs more(had 2cc first fill) and had me drink water-it didnt go down so he removed 1 cc-hope this is a good restriction.Im at 3cc total now and will go back for another fill in few weeks if need to.

damn-that sucks-but what Im hoping for is lack of hunger-I seem to be more obsessed with eating now than I was b4 surgery.I was never a big eater before just a bad eater now Im a big bad eater.sighhhhhhhh

Dr Kuri April 27th in Tijuana

cute face-yucky pic-what in the world did you feed that child?!?!?!?

why you wanna know tina?you writing the article?lol jk-It was outside Mobile.

I was thin and sporty in high school and a guy that had a crush on me in HS told my friend that he was glad he didnt get me in HS after all as I was HUGE now and he'd have to divorce me.Im serious this is horrible and still makes me cringe.The only reason my friend even told me he said it was because another girl from HS had asked why I never went to any of the reunions(my cheesy HS does them every 5 yrs!!!)and that she had heard that it was cause I was so heavy and that she was going to start a petition to do a "wheres tina" in the newsletter and say something about "loving me no matter my size"!!!!!!Thank god my friend squelched that shit!!!!Id have died!!!Anyway my 20 yr reunion is next June and Im gonna go to that and hopefully be back down to at least close to my HS size of 7.

you are only 5 days in-give it time-first few weeks take some adjusting-hell first few months .good luck

I tend to cough up alot of what I eat and I do truly believe it is from not chewing right-it is a hard lesson to learn but you do indeed have to chew things to the point of where you think its ridiculous.I used to think that this was PBing but now I realize they r diff issues.either way back away from the hard to process stuff like meat(I can eat chicken in very small pieces and ground beef sometimes but thats about it)and BREAD IS EVIL!!!!

very cool-beautiful scenery and sounds like a great time.

i like all of those-BB6 is gonna be sooo good

I loooooooove australia-Im getting married there in November-brisbane is nice-thats where I won my $23k playing blackjack!!!

lol-how funny

I too had some funky armpit thing going on and switched from Arrid to Adidas and man the difference is amazing but I also alternate it out with this stuff called Thai-I use it when I get out of shower then rub this deodorant stone on pits then in morning I put on adidas and it stays good all day and Im in humid houston and I had SERIOUS issues-not so much sweat as odor.sooooooo glad to know it wasnt just me-whew!I love this board!!
