Any October Bandsters!??!?!
GottaBThin replied to SoCalCass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm far from skinny jeans, but know that can be a reality, where before that would never happen by myself. Nazzy & Bradley18: I still choke a lot. I'm learning that my body doesn't/or can't eat any more. That is my biggest obstacle. I want to eat, but can't. Also, I've loss at a slower rate than many. I also was wondering why. For me I just need to be consistent in my eating. If I stay with the proteins and veggies, I do well. If I eat junk my body stays the same. I don't gain, but I don't loose. I just tell myself, this is still a life changing event. The band does not work by itself. I have to do my part too. Hang in there and remember that you could at your start weight. THANK GOD WE ARE LIGHTER!!! -

GO OCTOBER BANDSTERS...!!!!!! We are carving into who we want to be!!! EVERYONE CONGRATS!!! I can't say it enough. I also had a big win this week...I'm under 200, even after I eat. 194!!!! I love it. Also, I RAN/WALKED 20 MILES!!! There were days I thought I wouldn't make it. So, my nexy goal is 180. The lowest I've been in 14 years. After that...its all skinny jeans, size 12, size 8!!! Stay healthy, be strong, and be inspired...because you inspire me! -
tmg333 - It is hard. Crazy hard. I'm gonna check out that web site recommended.
Sometimes I eat well...and other days..I eat like the old me. My head says that food looks gooood, EAT IT!! So, sometimes I try and get sick, which is so bad. I got a fill 2 weeks ago and have been doing really good. I still have head hunger though.
tm12paws - Would love to be added as a friend. It's hard to explain what we are going thru to others when they think we cheated and had "wegiht loss" srugery. Little do they know.
Ladies - Keep up the good work..it is work even if we do have help.
Take care.

Hi!!! Thanks for the comment. This is hard work but I am really trying to make it work. You are doing great. My eating has been crazy lately which is why I have hit a slight plateau. I have been posting what I eat on here... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f9/share-ideas-what-did-you-eat-today-36828/ . That's a good thread and gives you some good ideas sometimes. My only wise words would be eat right, exercise and drink lots of water! :-)
I have an allergan band which is filled to 7.4 ccs so far. I just got a fill yesterday that I dont think was enough because I'm not feeling it like I usually do.
What are you doing so far?
I hope this helps you! Good luck!

Hello TMG333 - You look like you are doing great on your weight loss. I was banded Oct 21 and have lost 39 lbs. I was just wondering for one sista to another, what is your daily food intake like? I'm happy with my weight loss 245 pre surgery, 236 suregery day, and now 197 as of today. BUT, more is always better. Do you have any wise words you can pass on.
Keep up the good work. Did you get the Realize Band? I saw your model the the Realize page. Just wondering. Also, how full in your band?
Thanks for the help and inspiration.

NRPNRP - U R AWESOME!!! Army Mom - That's great on the run. i love it myself. Thanks for the tips on the hair. Can you tell me what you eat on an average day? I was banded 1 day before you and have only lost 36 lbs since. Little frustrated, but no regrets. -

THANKS EVERYONE for the kind advise on the hair. I will try the B complex. I do need to be better on making sure I get my 60-70 grams of protein. You all are doing so well. I too am LOVIN' the down sizing. I've slowed down, but still fill great! I can't wait to be in a 10. I'm in a tight 14. So, I'm working on it. Skinnydippn42 - Thats great you go to a dietian. They can help keep you on track. I have a hard time with the head hunger vs stomach hunger. NRPNRP - You go Lady!!! You are knockin on the door to your goal. That's great. That KARENK for the advise.:sad: -

cattoy - I feel you on what you're saying, but I'm trying to stay focused. I need to eat better. How about you? Are you sticking to the diet they gave us.
