I have lost 100lbs ! In 4 months! Im so excited. I have about 180 left to lose but I see the light at the end of a long tunnle. Im still in shock something is working LOL I love this band:)

shibalover I dont think I over did anything. I work out a few times a week and get my heart pumping for an hour at a time and before I had restriction I dieted and watched my calories but now I have restriction and am eating whatever I make my family but I just cant eat very much of it LOL. Ive come to relize I want to do this for life not like a diet. I dont get all my protein in most days but I try and I eat everything but the band helps with the amount. The only tip I have thats a for sure thing is DONT snack because the band wont help with that. I could eat a whole bag of reese cups if I want. so I stay far far away LOL I try not to have that junk in the house. It really is an awesome tool

Thanks guys:) I am lovin this band. I will say the weight loss is slowing down and I knew it would. I am losing about 2-3 lbs a week now so Ive lost 130lbs so far and I am 7 months out of surgery so you can see its slowed down but i am not complaining. I have also relaxed a bit with my eating. Thats a good thing. I dont want to diet for the rest of my life. I am making healthy food choices and letting the band do its work too. I am also feeling great. I now know what energy feels like YAY. I dont feel trapped anymore. Its a miracle plain and simple :thumbup: Good luck to you all too.

Thinking about becoming a runner?
marmar replied to sawyer77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree. Running hurts skinny peoples knees after years of doing it. Me at 334 lbs ( Ive lost 130lbs so far whoo hoo)wow my ankles would break and my knees would give.not to mention my boobs would give me black eyes LOL but someday when Im at goal weight I may give it a try. -
Im gettin frustrated. I cant change my ticker. It changed on my profile but not when I post anything. I cant figure it out.

Finally, the owner of the company donates a great deal of money to American terrorist organizations of the sort that shoot physicians who provide women's health care services and bomb clinics. WHAT!!!!!!!!! Gary Heavin is a christian buisness man who also supports pro life. how does this make he and his company bad? I think that was so off the subject. -
is taking a long coarse of antibiotics (6 months or more) harmful to the band like antiinflamitory meds are?
-
believe me its slowing down. 10lbs a month now. I think its because I have so much weight to lose. Thats all. It just fell of too. Im so glad I got this band. Its saved my life. at 464lbs I wasnt gonna live very long. I feel great just dropping 120 of the extra lbs. Cant wait till I drop all of it.

How much weight did you lose in the first 4 months
marmar replied to Deathstroke's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I personily think It all depends on how much you have to lose. I have 270 lbs to lose and in 4 months I lost over 100lbs. Its been 6 months and Im down 120lbs. It is starting to slow down now but I expected that:) -
Morning noon and night:(

Pita works good for the crust too

I have lost 120 lbs and only went down 4 sizes:( I have alot to lose though -
I got my fill about a week ago and I havent lost any weight. I get full easy ( half a chicken breast) I can eat anything also. My problem is Im starving in about 2 hours. I dont drink after my meals and I do eat the right things (most of the time) Should I call and schedule another fill?

8 cc in a 14cc band still hungry?
marmar replied to marmar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
sorry I didnt explain myself better. I do eat vegies too I was just useing an example. Ive had 6 fills with my last on being a week ago. I eat the right things and feel full but it just doesnt last. I dont think Im too full cuz I just started feelin restriction with this last fill. -
I agree about the booze Lots of calories

If the band is working right you wont be able to over do it too much. have a piece of cake if ya want it. It is a vacation. just dont stop moving. There are so many things to do that its hard to sit and just relax. Do an awesome excursion when youre off the ship. If you are going to nassau go check out Atlantis. I go on vacation there and I can tell you all the walking and slides, and aquariums that ya have to walk to see. Wow I lose weight when I go LOL . Very fun. Just enjoy yourself and treat yourself too:) Just my opinion.

I can eat all that stuff so I do a healthy version. I use multi grain little size pita with lean burger some good smoked cheese and a little ketchup or mayo. Its really good. I also use the pita for pizza. Use good sauce with cheese and turkey pepperoni. It tastes the same. Its so good.I love pita I also use them for the base for pouched eggs. Another of my favs:)

I flew to the bahamas with my children and hubby a year ago and I was 350lbs and 5'10' tall I asked the flight attendent as soon as I went in for a seat belt extender. She gave me one with a smile. I sat in an isle seat with my 5 year old in the middle seat with the arm up the whole time and we where both comfy. Not a problem at all. -
Everything is fine. I got a fill so we will see how this one goes. He said it could have even been my period.
