Hi everyone, Just have a question.:help: I was banded in May of 05 and would do it over again in a heart beat one of the best decisions I have made for myself. My question is I had a fill on April 12,2006 because I had started eating to much and the weight had so coming off. But I still can't seem to get the scales moving again:think . I have really been watchng what I eat Protein first and also watching my calorie intake work out three to four times a week and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions. The dr. says not to get discouraged that sometimes you hit plateaus just to stick with it and they will start moving again. I started at the weight of 260.5 I am now at 201.5 reeealllyyy want to get below that 200 mark and then about 40 more. Any and all suggestions welcome. :biggrin1: Have a great day. Tina

We too are hoping to get to go this year. WE are in Georiga so like for many others it will be a long trip. We have several friends that go and say it is well worth the ride. We have been to Panama City Beach & Daytona and several around closer but with these pesky things called jobs sometimes its impossible to be off to go. We also ride double we have a 2003 Anniverisary Heritage Softail. My big present (I Hope) is going to be a new ride for me when I reach my goal. My other half is already closer to his goal as he had surgery 1 month prior to me but I'm still close on his heels. Hope everyone has a great day Tina

Hello all, Just wanted to say hello to everyone here! I was banded 05-18-05 by Dr. Ponce in Dalton, Georgia. I live in Chatsworth which is just south of Chattanooga. I really love the band and I guess have done fairly well. I started at 260 day of surgery and now down to 223 which the drs office say is good as they prefer me to lose only 1-2 lbs per week and I know that this is weight I WILL NOT have again. My question is I try to eat the Protein 1st then maybe a few veggies if still room. But I feel I am not losing I read the post here and on other sites and everyone seems to be way ahead of me at this point any suggestions and also can anyone give me some ideas for differnet meals as I am beginning to get real bored with the same old meals. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks to any and all that reply.Have a wonderful day. Oh yeah I exercise 4-5 times a week ride a stationary bike 20 minutes, walk on treadmill 20 minutes and the a few free weights Happy losing to all!! Tina 260/223 mini goal of 199 by end of January

Yes I am very thankful that the scales are going down because I have been on the other side way to often but not any more. Everyone tells me slow is better but yes I wish I would wake up tomorrow and be at goal. I guess I should look at it as I only have about 60 to go now not 100. I know that I am really fortunate as there are many people still trying to get this wonderful procedure. It really has been a saving procedure for me. Just keep praying that the scales start moving again. I go on the 4th of January 2006 for my 4th fill. I hope that this is the one. Plus really need to get back to working out everday these holiday get togethers have really messed up my workout. I hope everyone has a safe a happy(losin) year Tina
