I went for my first fill on 09-18 and didn't get one. I was a little upset by it, but knew I was losing weight and inches so I didn't get too up set. I was asked if I was hungry and I said no. That was the deciding point I guess. The very next day, I noticed that by 11:30 am, I was getting a hungry feeling and again at about 5:30 pm. My lunch is at 12:45 and I eat when I get home around 7 pm. But it wasn't that I was starving, just a little hungry and it made me think about what I had always heard when dieting. It is when you are hungry that the body starts to use your body fat. Now whether this is true or not, I don't really know. Is this an old wive's tale we have heard for years? At any rate, I decided that I wasn't going to worry about getting a fill as long as I was losing, either weight or inches, until I was getting to the point that I was starving between meals. Please give me some feed back on this as I would like to know I am going in a good directions. Thanks for all the help this website has given me all ready.

Congratulations Gadumplin. What an accomplishment!! I have only been walking so far. But, I have gone from being winded walking to the car to walking daily. My goal is 7000 steps a day and my nsv was on Wednesday of this week when my step count was 10625. Quite a victory for me. By the way, I just turned 59 so we can do it.

Four pounds this week. Made me feel good after last week. It is going so slow, but it is going. Walking a lot more this week.

I went on a last supper phase for about a month and gained 10 pounds. On June 29th, I decided that was the wrong thing to do and started dieting. It really helped knowing I was going in the right direction. After all, how many last suppers can one have. I know it was a normal thing to do, but I am glad that I was able to get my mind in the right place before I gained a lot more weight back. Hang in there, it does get better.

I love the show and have watched it from the first season. I could never do what they do, pushed or not, but hope to be able to do some of that soon. It has all ways been an inspiration for me and now with my band, maybe it will be more of one. Glad they have the original trainers on.

changes after lap band?
lindar172 replied to chariTee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Things are going great, although my weight loss has stopped for the moment. I get my first fill on 09-18-08 and I am sure that will help. I have been struggling with 4 pounds for three weeks now. Up some, down some but I am still ahead by a great deal. I am going home on Thursday and am excited to see my grand kids and my 5 great grand kids. I am also looking forward to my children seeing me 30 pounds lighter. My daughter here says she can tell the difference, but I can't. I am sure you understand what I am saying. I am so happy that I did get the band and am looking forward to the upcoming months of loosing weight. I also love this sight and all the wonderful supportive friends I have met here. -

Weight Loss? Where is it?
lindar172 replied to Me1e's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for all the helpful tips. It does help to hear from people that have been there. -
I have been fighting my weight forever. I never wanted to have wls as I felt it was the cowards way out. I knew how to lose the weight, I just needed to apply it. I was getting nowhere fast. A family friend had the gastric done and I was positive that I wanted no part of that even though she lost so much weight. In February of this year, my father died. He was 86, lived a good life and will be missed by a lot of people. It was then that I decided that if I wanted to live a long life, I would have to do something about my weight for good. I had lost 25 pounds prior to him dying and gained that back plus some in the three months following his death. I got a newsletter from my insurance company stating among other things that they now did cover the lap band and I started checking into it. I was banded on August 11th and am loving it so far. Hope the love affair continures.
-
Mine was set to 1/2 cup of food at a time for the first two weeks of soft food. I am not allowed 1 cup of food, but find that I am gaining on that amount. I am going to email my nutrionist to see if I should stay on the 1/2 cup a while longer. I don't want to gain. Anyone else having that problem? My lowest weight was 273.2 and I am now back up to 276.2. not a lot and could just be fluid build up but I am not happy with it.
-
First time posting on this. It is a great idea to have one day set for weigh in. last week 278.2 this week 276.2 so 2 pound loss this week Congrats to everyone
