1000 Calories, Gym 5 Days A Week..no Weight Loss!
mariah104 replied to Mommyto4's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I was banded in 2008 as well. Lost 100lbs in the first two years. Had a slight slip & had to be unfilled. Got a fill of 1cc a year ago. Gained back 40lbs in two years. Just saw my doc and he wants an upper GI which wasn't done b4 the 1cc fill. Still having issues from time to time with things getting stuck. Anyway long story short. I too went done to 1000 cal diet and busted my butt at the gym 5 days a week. Elliptical, running, and some light weight training. I've had the 5lb yoyo too!! Weight seemed to fly off the first two years. Did some thinking and research and discovered that I have one difference Carbs. I was eating carbs and two years ago I wasn't. I just cut the simple carbs, (sugar& whites) and I'm down 6lbs. I'm also feeling a LOT better. Good luck! You'll find what work for you. You're certainly going about it the right way. Be proud! You're doing great! -
Met with my Dr. Today. He tolde to get lean and green instead of doing all liquids. I have 1 cc in a 4cc band and have a hard time with dry chicken. He wants me to get an upper GI to make sure band is in the right spot. Im feeling a little frusterated. I ate a salad tonight for dinner. It was soo good, but I almost feel like I cheated.- lol I kind of liked the control having only liquids gave me. Maybe, I'll do liquids a couple days then lean and green. Back and forth? Argh!!! So much easier when there are NO options!!! Thanks for the venting... All positive now...

Made it another day. I see my doctor tomorrow. I have to say that cooking for the family has been sooo hard!!! I had to go to the grocery store today after work and I felt a little overwhelmed looking at all those foods...I did eat a sugar free pudding today. Is that food? I kida feel like it is, but I remember eating them after surgery. Getting my workouts in and keeping my calories under 600. Wow!!! keep on keepin on!

It comes on 2 hrs later. I know.. it's weird... Hopefully everything is ok.. I'll keep you posted. Hope all is well with you. Keep in touch!

I can COMPLETELY relate to your feelings. I was so scared the first few weeks after surgery, but as soon as I got to chew something the anxiety went way down. I have found that I don't think about food as often as I used to. Also, I can eat anything now, just in moderation. I really hope this will be the case with you and your terrible feelings will fade away as your life gets back to normal. Good luck! I'll send positive thoughts your way!!!!

Fist Fill and Not feeling different!!!

Hi Lucy! I have the same sized band. Got my fill to 2.3 on Friday. I have restriction, but not as much as I'd like. I can eat more but have chosen to stop. I honestly worry that there will come a time when I don't have the will power to stop. I won't see my doc for another two months so lets hope it doesn't happen before then- lol. My doc did say that the band moves up and down so restriction can vary from time to time. He also said that he's given fills and everything has been fine and two days later the patient couldn't get down water. Hope this helps a little. And I wish you restriction from the band gods soon.-lol I also posted on you message board. Hope you find it . I swear I haven't forgotten my band buddy. :leaving::redface::sneaky: -
Hi girl! Sorry it's been so long. I swear I haven't forgotten you. How the heck are you? I bet the pounds are melting off!! Things have been so crazy with the kids and work I haven't had time to even check out LBT. Saw my doc Friday and got my first fill(0.5cc added to my 1.8cc) He said that was great for a 9.75cc band. Feel restriction so thats good. How about you? Any fills or problems? Hope all is well in the land of the thinning!!!!!!
