hi rose and laurel, congradulations rose on the weightloss. well i went to the dr today due to me taking my self off the water pills due to itching and i gained 5lbs of water weight im ok with it. dr changed the water pill but, now im scared to take them again. i now see that my body needs the water pill. i thought if i drank water i didn't need it but, i guess not. well i know what you mean laurel about the eating habits i have been working on it. dr told me if i dont start eating more and in the morning them he was gonna take some of my cc's out so i can eat durning the morning and day time. i wasn't to happy with that.

ok i feel like im losing my mind. i went and got on the scale today and noticed that it said i lost 2lbs. i felt so angry i could have throwed the dr's scale out the window. i mean i have been busting my ass and for what 2 freakin lbs. i have been banded for 9wks now and all i have lost is 22lbs. and 2 of those was after i got the fill 3wks ago. now im sitting here feeling like i wasted my time even getting the band. and i do know that its a slow process but, i was told that you lose 1-2lbs a wk. i lost 2 in 3wks. hell im at the gym all the time and hardly eating and this is all its doing. i feel like a failure for real. and im much bigger than most so i should be lossing more than this. well thanks all for letting me rant and rave.

i so agree i went to the dr and thought i was gonna get a fill but, he said no as im totally restricked in the am-about after 6pm. so most of my eating is after 6. so he changed my plan and wants me to eat a good sized breakfast, and a larger lunch and a smaller dinner and a snack if needed. i have been trying that its hard but, im gonna hang in there.

thanks pete and yes i have been trying every thing but, i thought if i eat less like skipping meals it would make me lose more not. so my dr has changed my meal plan to i eat more in the day time and less in the evening as i have more restriction in the day but, feel like im strarving after 6pm. i think its very hard to eat when your not hungry. but, im gonna stick with it. -
hi everyone hows it going. well rose dont worry it will get better. plus laurel is so right as we are much bigger than you. honey you are doing fine. if it makes you feel any better my dr told me i should have lost 50lbs if i was not cutting out meals. well any who i know the meal plan he put me on makes since but, it is a bit harder for me. i tried it today and of course i didn't eat lunch till about 4 but i was running of course. but, i did eat a big Breakfast. its hard for me to eat if im not hungry. but, im gonna try and hang in there. oh and congradulations on the weightloss laurel. so how is the wedding plans going what does your dress look like. and how long is you going to be in vagas.

happy belated b-day rose well i go on wednesday for a fill i feel happy about that. i to have to make better food choices. im going to be taking a nutrition class at the hospital maybe that will help me more. i know one think is for sure its hard to cook to seperate meals at least it is in my house. i eat but, more than half of what i use to. so im happy about that. well ladies today i was in my shop and kept eyeing this jogging suit that was there so i tried it on again and to my surprise i could fit it. it was a 2x it fit very snug in the pants but, i got in it and could still breath. so i guess those inches are adding up after all. well hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.:tt2:

hi everybody, i have been dieing to go to las vagas for some reason or another. well rose did you get your fill yet, what about you laurel. after attending my support meeting and speaking with the nurse p she said i need a little fill. so im gone call them after lunch and see if they can squeeze me in. she also told me that i may not be eating enough as i told her im always tired. plus i got on the scale the other day and im only down 2lbs in 3wks since getting a fill. and i must say ladies that really hurt as im going to the gym and every thing and that is all i lost and i was sick to felt like i lost all my will power right at that moment. but, im ok now i guess i just needed to talk to someone or for someone to just listen. well back to the gym today and back on track:smile: talk to ya later.

thanks smsmithhart and doxie for the advice. im going to try that and see if that works i guess im scared of eating like i use to so i hardly eat thinking that will make it come off yet it isn't its only making me lose slow or not at all. i will keep everyone posted on how im doing. but, doxie doesn't 1500 sound like a lot for a band person. i always wonder how many calories everyone is eating. i just want to do good yet, i feel like a failure for real. well thanks again for the support.
