Hello everyone my name is BrendaLee AKA**allamess** I would like to introduce myself to the rest of you October Bandits. I live in Houston, Texas, 32, married and have a beautiful daughter. I was blessed with "Bella" my band on October 22,2007, Dr. Carlos Ferrari, Memorial City Hospital. My starting weight was 219 and the last time I weighed myself was 11/05/07 I was at 211. My first fill is scheduled for Dec. 14th. My main goal is to be under 200 by the end of the month. I am currently not working out but plan to start at least walking. I am staying away from BREADS, Pastas, and tortillas. I eat Fish, tuna, veggies and that is about it. I still drink ISOPURE and Glucerna Boost. I am so excited about this thread and really hope it helps me! Glad we are on the winning side!

Thanks, I feel so hungry like now it is lunch time and I am starving. I had a creamy chicken soup at 9:30 or so. I didn't drink it all bc I got full half way but now my stomach is crying and my intestines are beating me up inside and knocking on my stomach for food! LMAO! I miss the BUFFETS!

I hear you loud and clear! Ah, I am jealous you already get a fill and my doctor said NO WAY JOSE! until at least 6 wks which means Dec. 7th but since my company is having our Christmas Party that day I have changed the date to the 14th. Dr. Ferrari only does fills on Fridays..oh lazy ass doctor! LOL Calm down, I feel your fraustration and boy can I hear you loud and clear! Looks like you have lost 20 pounds so that is a good sign! My thing is that I am starving all the time! Hungry Hippo should be my name! LOL I think that I am destined to be fat forever but see I am giving you hope when on other threads I need a little shove myself! I guess we just like to feel sorry for our selves! Don't worry we will soon be smiling! Brenda Lee **AKA Allamess* Banded with "Bella" on October 22th 2007 First Fill will be December 14th Starting weight: 219 Weight as of 11/05/07: 211

I just said a little prayer for you. I hope all is well, come on now we can do this! Brenda Lee AKA "Allamess"

Hey everyone, my name is BrendaLee I am from Houston, Texas. I was banded October 22, 2007 so this is a very special day that I will celebrate from now on and I have named my band "Bella" eventually I will feel very bella because of Bella's help. I have been so depressed these days because I feel like I am not loosing any pounds. I need some help with food! I don't want to eat breads, pasta or tortillas! The cream soups are great but fatting! One soup Creamy Chicken is 130 calories, I don't know how many calories I should consume a day, I guess that means I should go see a dietician. Anyways this is going to be so hard for me but I am determined and I know writing in this journal will help me so much. :ranger:

Thanks for the advice. You guys are loosing pounds and I am just stuck. I am going to start eating some more protein in the am's. I think I am eating too much at dinner time. I don't get my first fill until December 14th, that is a long ways from now. I am going to check out some of the other sites for meal plans because I don't want to eat bread, pasta or torillas and it seems that is all there is out there. Do you guys have suggestions on meals...healthy ones. I have been eating fish (all kinds and tuna) and chicken everyday.
