slimmy120

I make certain i chew everything well, the only time i have had problems when out was with sandwiches - half a sandwich german rye with chicken and salad or tuna and salad, when i have half sandwich at home no problems think it is a stress thing,or maybe eat too fast and try to fit it into my lunch break.

Yep they are so yummy and not bad as vegies, but of course our choices are the starchiest, but hey we cutting alot of the other crap out or really really limiting now.Sorminah you in the same boat as me.

I will follow in your footsteps limiting the sizes, you have done so well so you are a great example thanx.

Yep,i am in Australia, Perth, so will go to Myers to get sized and then can checkout target,kmart and bras and things.

I decided next week going to get my sports bras but will go get measured as i think changed cup sizes i use to be a d or dd, now maybe b??

Yes will decrease my yummy starches if finding not losing enough weight, i cannot tolerate potatoe skins at moment, never had problem before.

You should ask the surgeon what is causing it, and what you can do.

Yes been trying to do it on own basically as too what to eat,the dietician i wen't too basically was giving me advice on what normally people should be eating all the breads and all but did not take into account my lap band, my surgeon says i don't need any thing special just eat less of everything, avoid the dairy, my body will tell me what not right for me. Will have a good talk to my gp again and explain my concerns as want to know i am doing the right things, will tell her what i have heard about mercy hospital lap band followup info and see what she can do for me.

Yep looks like scar tissue will be the answer

I have been lapbanded,since sep 2008, havent told anyone, what will i do and say when going out to Sizzlers? eat the sensible things I know. How do other people cope when only smorgus board and you cant order what you normally do a small salad or soup etc??:biggrin:

ep seem satisfied with these foods so will keep eating them.

When I get stressed,it is during my lunch break i tend to tighten up and heartburn, and then puckie, does not happen very often anymore, but notice it is only when stressed it happens.

I have had 4 fills, this morning ate museli, half ham and cheese roll, then other half of ham and cheese white roll, half bannana large, chicken catchitorre and mashed potatoes large childs serve,and chicken drumbstick, and 2 flat white coffees -- no problems ate all that today. Had lap band 18 sep 2007.lost 62lbs so far , my starting weight was 204lbs, so nop dont think enough restriction and no fill till 28th may 2008 again,shivers,got to control myself.

I was complaining about putting on 1lb this week, but have lost 62,now 61 since 18thsep2007.did no excercise this week, go on my 30 to 40min daily -well sort of daily walks, and i think diarise the calories makes a difference again. all the best to all keep on tracking those cals i think, and get those little walks in somehow, hard as been raining alot lately and gets dark before i get home.

hee hee the tumor one sounds funny. was thinking scar tissue from hernia op??

Thought i was doing well 62lbs since 18sep 2007 lap band day, and then this week i put on a kilo, havent done much walking or movement, but had heaps less calories.shiver inspirate me ,help.

After reading your comments realise 1lb not that much weight, was eating between 1000 to 1200, but 3 days this week 900 and the rest between 1200 to 1400. i didnt do any walking this week as heavy rain, normally walk 30 to 45 min a day. no excuse i should have used my treadmill inside. I have 32 -34 pounds to get to goal.Will keep at it not going to be a gonna, am going to be a doer.

Took my tablets this morning with food, and tiny drink of water then no burning.

I notice if i take any tablets or vitamins without eating first, i have burning in my throat, top of stomache,does anyone else have this problem?do you have a sip of water the tablets then food??

What is the best thing to say to a new partner who you dont want to know you had the lap band as yet when he sees abump and it stands up at times???(thats the lap band port by the way).

You have basically lost half of what i lost, and that was just in 1 month, i have lost 60lbs since 18 sep 2007,had 4 fills so far.

I was just reading another post where someone went from a size 28 to a size 14 and lost 70lbs in 6 months to get to that range. i lost 60lb and gone from 22/20 to size 14/12. didnt think 10lbs would make so much difference, but i know sometimes dont seem to lose much on scale yet measurements do!

I have lost 60lb, notice i am puffy under eyes now,is this lose skin??? I am taking vitamins every day, and had test for iron all okay? any one else have this problem. i am making certain drink 2 litres of water per day. but have started having one latte skim every day, maybe its the milk doing it?? dark circles under there too.

Thank you for your comment. And boy oh boy you have done excellent with your weightloss to, guess will live with the eyes and put concealer on,thanx.

Has anyone been told by their friends (who are bigger than them note )that you are too thin, you dont need to lose weight when you have not even reached the weight for your height - I am 32 lbs from the weight i should be for my height -- i only get these comments from other females, the male friends all say you are doing well you just have a little more to lose.
