I have lost NO WEIGHT for a month. I don't understand it at all I am only getting about 1000 calories a day...I should be dropping some weight. I have been the same weight for such a long time, I am very discouraged, I have Heart Burn every night and sometimes I get reflux when I am sleeping, if I could drop the reflux and heart burn and loose the weight I will be SOOO happy!:thumbup:

I am down 8 lbs now.....:smile: I have 47 to go! My goal is to get there by July 1st...I bought some ensure this morning, and I had one, they are pretty good and you get your vitamins and stuff. So, I need to start eating more fish for protein. I love Beer Battered Haddock or Talapia, YUMM! Anyhow, have a great night all!

Thanks guys, I am 2 weeks out and I have lost 7 lbs...Not bad at all! So I have a good one...thanks for all your support...you all make it easier to go through this change we are all going through.

Hey all, sorry I have not been online lately, we lost our computer to a virus, Just an update, I am down 6.5 lbs since the 14th of this month. I did not disapere and should have a computer by Saturday or Monday at the latest. Happy Loosing to you all!

Thats awesome Grace...You are beyond goal. I have been taking it easy, I made Tuna Mush for lunch and I am having more soup for supper. Ohh I had a protein shake for lunch it was awesome, lite ice cream, protein powder and 2% milk.

Well all, I finally got a good fill yesterday. I was at 1.7 cc and I went to 2.2cc...I have lost one pound already and I am on a full liquid diet. I had Soup last night and apple juice and chocolate milk. So, I am excited, the scales are moving in the right direction.

Just thought I would give you all an update, I am one day out from my fill and I lost one lb..not bad huh? So, I had Tomato Soup last night and I had Apple Juice last night to. And lowfat chocolate milk. This morning I have had Apple Juice, and I am making a protein powder shake in a couple hours. Then I will make more soup for tonight. Just thought I would update you all!

hey all! I got my fill today, Dr. Trieu thought my son Chris was huge, he kinda is, he is 5'7" tall and in a mens 12 shoe and he is only 12 years old. Anyhow I went from 1.5 to 2.2cc, hopefully it will stay the way it feels right now. I could feel the differance immediatly. So, I sipped a lowfat chocolate milk on the way home and now i am eating thin tomato soup with 2 small crackers in it that are now mush! I am being good I had a farewell to my soda and from now on if I want caffine it will be iced coffee with sweet and low. So, I am doing well...have a nice night all!

That is awesome....I like Dr. Trieu, he is so nice, he said my port is easy to find and fill, I hope he'll fill another cc at least tomorrow. He is just so posative all the time...anyhow, congrats, pray for my fill to work and I'll pray for you on Monday! :smile2:

You know what, Have a dang brownie, a small piece of something you crave is fine, cause if you do not you'll end up having a big piece of something worse cause you crave the sugar, so you know what I say have a 2" x 2" brownie, you still have the hormonal cravings, I crave Chocolate soo much more since my band when it comes to that time of the month, I give in by having a bowl of Chocolate Frozen Yogurt, it is an indulgence but we have to have sweet things once in a while. In fact I try to have a smoothie or Chocolate shake done with Low Fat Yogurt and fresh/frozen fruit and Chocolate frozen yogurt, and add protein powder. So, have a good day and realize that because you have a 100 calorie snack 2 times a month does not mean that you have failed or screwed up your band or this plan with the band. We are all human....:grouphug:

I go for my fill tomorrow and I will not be drinking soda after today! SO, I have been addicted to soda since I was 15 and it is Diet Pepsi! I told my hubby that I will switch to Iced coffee with Sweet and low, as long as I get a little bit of caffine I will be fine....so my fill is @ 3:30 tomorrow. I can't wait to feel restricted again. Have a great day all. I have been in Pepsi hell for 19 years time to kick the habit! :grouphug:

Thats cool, I cannot wait for my fill tomorrow....thanks for the encouragment. I hope this one works for me! Have a great afternoon...Jenn

I am gonna order me a bikini this summer...I promised my daughter that I would work my butt off at the gym(Planet fitness) to get into bikin shape by July! I know 55 lbs is alot to loose in 4 months but I can do it and still keep my vitamins and protein in me with my protein smoothies and tuna mush! LOL My tuna mush is white tuna whizzed in a food processor and add Mayo and a little onion and it is SOOO GOOD! Plus drink a TON of Water...I work out 1 hour a day but gonna step it up to two hours:thumbup:

Ok here is what works for me.. Soup of course....ruby tuesdays Brocolli and Cheese Smoothies at Dunkin Donuts McDonalds the yogurt parfait any kind of fish, like haddock or cod, it flakes more and is easier to get down and it stays down if you take it slow, plus you can reheat it....:drool:
