Your WL is amazing! I'll go find you the ticker info. in a second and e-mail you. OK, didn't you worry about the 5 kids at the GC rim?!! Maybe I'm just a nervous Nelly?! Thanks for the comments! I'm off to look...

"Mine doesn't show up here but it does if I post in the regular forums." This is correct, it won't show up on blogs, only on posts. -BG

Day 11 post op - OOPS what happened there ?
Band_Groupie commented on dewberry's blog entry in Blog 76572
WOW that was some excitement! Glad you're all patched up now! -BG -
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Happy Banding!!! If you weren't nervous, it wouldn't be normal! Hang in there and feel better soon! It will get better each day! Best wishes! -BG

I add soy protein powder to oatmeal every morning so I'm still getting solid protein. I've used the Isopure for drinks after fills and they're not awful with frozen fruit/banana added. Your WL is amazingly fast!! Great job! -BG

You're doing great and your WL is great! Those new pants must feel wonderful! Keep it up! -BG

Check with your doc/NUT, but my doc would say you're eating too few calories and anything less that about 800 puts you into 'starvation mode' and slows your metabolism way down so you'll stop losing (your body is hanging on to every calorie thinking there's a famine). I'm told to stay about 1000-1200. It will happen Kim...I think the 'Bandster Hell' right after banding is even harder than all that waiting before. Best wishes...and keep getting those fills! -BG
-
I sent you an email with instructions...did they come through? -BG

It will start to speed up soon! Hand on to your hat! Best wishes! -BG

Great attitude! Buy some of the K2O protein drink powders and the Crystal Light individual packets...it will help you keep it a little interesting and not having to drink plain water. I made some homemade broth with VoiceOMT2002's recipes and that helped. Hang in there! -BG

Melanie- Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! You've got a great goal and I know you'll achieve it! Glad you found this site...it's been an invaluable support system for me and I know I've done so much better in my journey because of it! Keep me posted on your progress! -BG

Let's see...game food...FF refried beans and gr. beef on a flat taco shell with taco fixin's? I bought some edamame/chick peas, but I haven't made homemaade hummus I want to yet, but even store bought is great with veggies. Greek yogurt with SF preserves.

GREAT job!!! I know what you mean about 'being here before' and being terrified. We have to believe it will be different this time...because it's been different already, hasn't it?!!! Keep it up! -BG

Hey there! How's the liquid diet going? I've heard it will get easier in 3-4 days (I didn't have to do one...I know, hate me now). Keep the faith...it will all be worth it! I had breakfast this morning and lost track of the time...it was 6 hours later and I wasn't even hungry...amazing! I CAN tell you that you won't be hungry for days after banding. It's countdown to a whole new life for you!!! Talk to you soon! -BG

186.5 for me today. I was away for check-in last week, but had gone up 2 pounds to 189 (that stress must have been catching that week). So with a little pre-planning I lost those 2 I'd gained and another .5 pound ON VACATION last week...simply amazing...6 days of every meal out and lots of alcohol (yes, I did) and I lost weight. I love my band! GO BUNNIES!!!

Changes, oh how I love to see the changes.

I wish I had that 'stop' button sometimes too! Keep up the good work! -BG -
Yeah! Countdown time!!! Congrats girl...it will be here soon! -BG

Agreed. You definitely need an unfill...even a small one may help a lot. You need to be able to eat solids. Call your doc and tell them exactly what's going on. Good luck -BG
-
Great job!!! Seriously, I think it's great and smart that you know your too tight and you're doing something about it! As you know so many here avoid unfills and end up with much worse problems. Good for you for adjusting this now! Like you said...a tiny bit may be all you need to make all the difference! Hang in there this week and stay on sliders so you don't end up with PB's. Good luck! -BG

10/08/09: Who's in control - me or them?
Band_Groupie commented on ldswims's blog entry in My Journey
Way to go! You do have to be your own advocate in this process! -BG -
You may have gotten 'stuck' with the food or eaten too fast. Remember, it sometimes takes a week or up to 4 weeks for a fill to fully 'kick in'. Call your doc if this doesn't improve. Best wishes. -BG

Mechelle- The ticker tutorial is gone off LBT (person who did it now has an inactive account). I took a look at your ticker and I think I might know what's happened. Try copying the actual picture of your ticker into your signature and not the code. Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll figure it out. -BG
