It's so refreshing to see supportives spouses on here...As one of the LUCKY women to have one myself ( he even did the 2 week liquid diet with me and has continued to eat what I eat) I think it will make your spouses even more succssessful at their weight loss not having to worry that their spouse is going to feel displaced as they lose weight...KUDOS:thumbup:

I've been watching this thread too, and I have to also agree about how motivating this is! I only have 11 more pounds to go to reach my goal !

AWWWW crap....I just wrote a reply for this thread for everyone to read before they report their weights for the week but I wrote it in "what did you eat today" Please read it...I want you guys to be happy with your losses!!!!

I just wanted to something .....To everyone who weighs in today and reports that they ONLY lost a pound or JUST lost 2 pounds......This is a HUGE accomplishment don't poopoo the awsome job your doing. Just remember it is one more pound that will NEVER be on your body again...Do you really understand how much work you've put in to lose that pound???? Your doing great!! Also stop expecting to lose so much ....you chose Lapband for a reason..remember those reasons..1 to 2 pounds a week is what your SUPPOSED to lose..otherwise you would have chosen a more invasive,body altering surgery like the bypass.....Give yourselves a break and be PROUD of THAT POUND!!!!

FRIDAY- B-1 slice of bacon and 1 bite of egg S- a quarter of a Protein bar L-4OZ OF Protein shake D-1 slice of turkey bacon on bit of egg I'm starting to get concerned that my fill might be too tight....I got filled on the 14th is it too soon to worry??

I had a good week again...put me down for 3 pounds lost....214 to 211!! so close to 199 I can taste it!!!

I also have a question even though I'm nowhere near goal....YET. I've had four children and overwight so it's a no brainer that my tummy sags and I'll need a tummmy tuck afterwards..what I'm wondering is when you get a TT does it also lift the skin just above the Vagina....Or is that a different or combined surgery? "I'm not sure what that area is actually called??":lol:

O.K. so I finallay did what I swore I'd never do..got stuck and slimed....at least it didn't last long...I got filled on the 14th and so I was making something to eat just now..one slice of turkey bacon and an egg with spinach and cheese..I ate my bacon just fine then took a bite of egg and BAM....horrible feeling in my chest and my mouth got slimy.....Ifeel better now but now I'm stating to wonder how I'm going to get enough colories in to keep losing weight??

Hang in there Pete :yikes: don't get too down on your self, between meds changes and still waiting for a fill I'm sure your feeling like I did....Just hanging on by the skin of your teeth with food temptations because there is no restriction...Keep trying to pick healthy food for your self its not always fun sometimes it just sucks:thumbdown: remember that youv'e done amazing so far and only a couple more days till your fill:thumbup:

OH that sucks..but your right sometimes it takes more than one fill,don't get too bummed and keep making good food choices....I also had a fill..2 days ago but I feel as though I'm only eating about three bites before I get really tight hopefully it will loosin up in the next couple of days...... THURSDAY 3 protein shakes with soymilk and a packet of plain oatmeal

AWWW Thanks guys... its so great to have somewhere to tell people all the little things about losing weight that no one else would understand..Doxie ..I ride a 07' Yamaha V-Star 1100..she was my christmas present last year!!!!! I love riding my own bike..I used to ride on the back but your right about it being uncomfortable...but I'm a control freak and would rather be in front than back....

O.K so I ride a motorcycle....and for the last year I have not be able to wear MY jacket..too tight around the arms couldn't get the zipper over my boobies,and had no wiggle room and yes I even got STUCK in it :thumbup:(STOP LAUGHING) it was awfull...so I had been wearing my husbands jacket YUCK:thumbdown: it's ugly but did the job...anywhooo I decided for S&giggles to try it on and HOORAY!!! Now I can't wait for it not to fit again...the good way not the "honey I'm stuck and about to pass out cause it was 110 degree's outside" way!!

I'm down from 217 to 214 so 3 pounds for me please!!!!! :thumbup:

I did... I started with fitday,its really simple but they don't have a lot of namebrand food choices so you have to do a lot work to get correct calories ect....then I did daily plate..it has a steep learning curve but you can really break things down and has almost every food or you can add your own. But I like my fitness pal the best ,great food selections and you can add your own,track weight,fitness,calories,fat carbs...its really easy to use.

Yeah I can totally tell when I'm just bored and want to eat too...That's when I grab a big glass of water ....that works pretty good. It's the feeling of my body basically whining for food like I have no band and very few foods make it shutup:cursing:!!!

Here's what I had for the last two days..... MONDAY . TUESDAY egg,spinach. protein pancake, mushroom omelet. (oatmeal,protein powder,egg . beaters,soymilk,cinnamon) left over spagetti. topped with cottage cheese sauce (turkey,squash . and tbls SFjelly spinach,mushrooms,very. veggie spagetti sauce). (Left over spagetti sauce) Taco filling salad (turkey,kidney Beans,very. White turkey chili salad cheesy taco mix,cheese. (turkey,northern beans,cheese, salad mix). spinach,white chili mix, . salad mix) . . cottage cheese with . TBLS SFjelly (O.K so I tried several times to seperate the colums but counld't....RED is monday GREEN in tuesday....SORRY!)

OMG!!! I am sooo freakin hungry...it just won't go away..I'm supposed to only eat 1/2 a cup of food but It's creeping up to more like a cup of food and I can feel some restrition but my tummy still growls WTF!! at least I'm still losing (MYMIND:lol:) I'm workin on pure willpower the last couple of days....I really really hope the 14th gets here quick.

Yesterday was my big day!!!! I finally fit into my pair of size 18 jeans that had been hanging up for over a year!! I didn't even have to suck in!!!!! I couldn't even get them past my thighs before surgery.....But I'm going to keep my size 24's as a reminder of where I will NEVER be again! Has anyone measured themselves to keep track of how many inches you've lost???

I joined a online challange for one hundred pushups and two hundred situps.....I do a set of pushups (4,3,2,then,1) ... 3 times a day on the Perfect Pushups doohicky's and I do one set of situps(21,27,21,21,then 40)...it's really crunches...once a day although I'm gonna try for twice a day..and I also do bicep and tricep curls (25,20,15,10,then 5).......with 3 pound weights at night while I sit on a ball......and yes I am sore but results will be worth it!!!!

Heeeyyyy I wanna join the 2009 challenge....:biggrin:.. I saw the cool ticker on pete's siggy but cant seem to find where to sign up:wink_smile:

WOW:w00t: Look at you haley.. your almost in ONEDERLAND:thumbup: GOODJOB!!

The only thing that REALLY keeps me full for hours is OATMEAL...not any of the flavored kind just plain old fashioned oatmeal with a little splenda...I'll have 2 slices of turkey bacon and between 1/4 and 1/2 a cup of oatmeal and I don't have any cravings or tummy rumblings for at least 4 to 5 hours.....I usally have for breakfast and ONLY once a day otherwise WAY to many carbs..granted its good carbs but carbs none the less...

O.K sooooo I totally cheated on new years....Or so I thought...I had thin crust tomato pizza,about 10 chocolate covered raisins AND ice cream.:thumbup:..I didn't care I was cheating on purpose I thought I was going whole hog it was sooo good I felt pretty smug with myself ....so when I went and entered every thing in my food log for that day I was SHOCKED :scared2:that I hadn't really cheated I had only eaten 1,210 calories, 108 carbs, 81 grams of fat and 81 grams of protein.....yeah my carbs and fat were higher than I like but still not that bad (I even lost 2 pounds since)....THAT SAID...I don't plan on cheating again any time soon..I plan on eating the healthy way I have since I got banded!! But let me say this loud and clear I LOVE MY BAND!:thumbup:

I already have a "soft fill" from surgery but I also feel restriction with about a cup of food but I'm soooo glad my fill is on the 14th because I get hungry again about an hour later :thumbup: .....and have to make myself drink lots of water till next meal otherwise my tummy growls till the next meal.....But not everyone needs a fill my doctor didn't have his first fill till he was a year out.

I'd like to join too..:thumbup: Surgery date 12/4/08 Highest weight 247 Pre op diet weight 247 Surgery weight 233 Current weight 217 weight loss since surgery 16 pounds Total weight loss 30 pounds My end goal 130 pounds January goal.....17 pounds:blush:
