Four month bandiversary...I met my mini goal of 50 pounds on Saturday!!!! A couple days over four months..but that's okay with me!!!!! Congrats to all!!!!!

I will stay on plan today because I deserve it and so does my son!

I cannot do anything carbonated..it just kills me. It feels like I ate 100 pound steak.

Thanks..my problem is not before dinner, it's after dinner. I've already eaten and I'm clearly not hungry..I just eat. Just like before the surgery, nothing stops me from eating. As long as I can get it down, I eat it!

WOW..didn't know I was a Victorious Valentine, but I'm glad to be! I need help guys..I do great eating during the day, but at night I eat eat eat. Anyone else having this trouble? I'm not hungry..but I feel like once I take one bite..it's all over..I don't stop. Any advice on how to get a handle on this?

B--3/4 cup oatmeal w/ cinnamon,splenda,raisins S-1 cheese stick, 8 kashi crackers L-A few bites of ham, 3 cherry tomatos, 1 bite of broccoli, 1 bite of cucumber, 2 grapes S-SF Jello D-2 oz hamburger patty I NEED TO GET MORE VEGGIES IN>>I SO WISH I LIKED THEM!

Okay, I go for my second fill tomorrow. I want him to really fill me up. If I tell him I feel like I've had no restriction, will he do that or do they always do a little at a time??? I want to lose faster!!!

Okay, I've regrouped and I'm on track. I made journal sheets to track my food(calories/protein), water, vitamins, and exercise. I get my new treadmill this weekend and can't wait to get that chapter of my life going! I lost another 2 pounds!!!!! YEAH! 6 more for my mini goal!

I keep thinking I'm doing good, but then I'm obsessed w/ that scale. I weigh myself everyday and hope for another pound. Now, I know that's not healthy to weigh everyday. I really feel my loss should be going faster. I want to lose 50 pounds total by my next fill. I'm down 42 and have 8 more to go. My next fill is May 8th. I still think I can do it. I'm having so much trouble staying on track in the evening. When I get home, I want to eat..I'm not hungry..I just eat and eat and eat. When will I know I have restriction? My doctor says to eat 1/2 cup of food at a meal?!!!! Whatever..I'm not full at 1/2 cup. What am I doing wrong? How do I stop this cycle.....??????!

Does anyone else have a large female area that sags and needs lifted prior to weight loss?

Alright..I am a February bandster and am excited to see how everyone is doing! I also would like to hear if you've had your first fill and how that's going. I had my first fill 03/27/08 and at that time my doctor told me to not eat more than 1/2 cup of food at a meal. He also said to only focus on protein. Anyone else told this? Can I eat too little food and not lose, as I've only lost 3 more pounds since my fill.:bolt:

General area..almost as an extension of the stomach..

Hey people. I was just banded on February 11th and am so excited to get healthy. I'm a single mother of a small child. I need to get in exercise but it seems virtually impossible with him. We've been taking walks when the weather permits but I cannot get much speed going while walking with him. I really cannot afford a gym and feel guilty about having him in daycare all day long while at work, only to take him to another daycare at the gym! So, I'm looking for a reasonably priced treadmill! I'm in Kansas City, Missouri..so if any of you guys have a treadmil you no longer want/need and would like to get rid of it..let me know. Thanks!!

I am new and having my surgery in January. I'm in Missouri and very excited about finding others that are doing the same.
