hello laurel, rose, matty how is everyone doing today. me im doing good so how was everyone's weekend. how was the eating. mine was ok i could have been better or course but, im getting better.:huh2: ok question of the day what have you learned about your band so far.

this is so true. im with v-queen we should be proud of how far we have come. it takes alot of guts to know your unhealthy or (fat as mean people say) and do some thing about it. yes we all want it off fast but, the trueth is slower is better as we all have time to learn how to keep it off. for those of you that have lost 1lb i want you to go to the meat market and ask to see what a lb. of fat looks like you will be so shocked its not funny. i did this when i lost 11lbs and the funny thing was i couldn't hardly carry it yet i carried it around for years. we will all get there in time. right now be proud of what you have done and where your going:thumbup:. im pround of all of us we are doing it. we own every pound we have lost and its not comin back. hell for those that gave gained weight or eat some thing that we wasn't its ok its comin off. lets remember we are just starting our and learning how to work our band. its ok as long as you get back on the ride, right now we are in the healin phase the weightloss is just a bonus. group hug everyone:thumbup:. hope everyone has a good day.

hi laurel,rose,matty how is everyone doing today? me im doing good today. laurel that's a good range to be eating in. im any where between 800-1575. maybe try on your days that you excerise eating alittle more as when you work out you burn up some of those calories. honey it is very cold here and it snows alot here. i havent been to the gym for 2days if you count today. gone get back there starting monday. matty that is good that you still are not able to eat as much i wish i wasn't. how do you feel only eating one meal a day. im much bigger than all of you but, my trainer said that im not eating enough and that is why i tend to over eat at times. most of the time im around 12something calories but, can eat up to 1575 if my stomach allows it. i dont drink the shakes unless im in a rush and dont have time for nothing else. rose your doing fine keep ya head up it will come together. but, i think your doing great the weight will come off in time. right now just work on healing your self the weightloss is just a bonus least that is what my dr said. i have heard that the first 2 fills dont really count but, im hoping it will do alittle some thing:smile: lets all remember it took us some time to put the weight on its gonna take some time to get it off. but, im glad im doing the ride with you guys. see you all at the finish line:thumbup:

hey everyone hows it going well me it think today is a hard day for me as i have been so hungry its not even funny. its funny i have been noticing that almost all people that was band in december have been having a problem. i have been reading that some people have started gaining weight. so i now feel normal again like im not the only one. i think i need a fill for real. as i have eat way to many bite size tortilla chips than i want to. well all i can do is try and do better next time. well thanks for letting me vent. now im gonna go get on the scale at the dr's so i can see if i gained any weight. i hate being fat and i hate getting on the scale. well thanks any ways.

ang in there pete yes the water pill will do that to u as when i gained it was due to the water pills and the birth control pills now that im not taken either i gained some but, then i guess every thing balanced out. we are here for you. so yes i know how you feel as i was ready to give myself a fill as i felt so let down.:yikes: this week is a much better wk. and just think you get a fill next week. i still have to wait till the end of febuary. i still might need to give myself a fill:smile: and v-queen i couldn't have said it better

carebear hang in there if it is not working maybe you should call your dr and let them know you might need to come back in and get more added. then again i hear some times it just takes time. my friend told me that she just woke up and it was working give it time. or call your dr after say maybe a wk.
