-
Yay Im down 100 lbs today and its only been 4 months! Im so excited but I have alot left to go. This band was the best thing I ever did for myself.
-
I always eat bran flakes.If Im sick of eggs. They seem to keep me full the longest. Oatmeals good too. Oh and cream of wheat. Yum I can eat these anytime:)
-
thats not good. My hubby isnt used to this yet. Thats what we did together. Eat. (Hes in good shape of coarse) Today he asked if I wanted to go get some wings LOL I said no but Ill get something else when you get your wings LOL
-
Ive always had small boobs for my body size:( My heaviest at 464 my boobs were only a D now they are a C. I think having small boobs always showed of my gut. I will need a boob job
-

Hey sorry I didnt mean to hurt ya. I just think being depressed sucks. I was just giving you my opinion. I loved to smoke and found it enjoyable and still miss it after 2 years but that doesnt mean it was good for me. Video games taking up all your life sounds like an addiction to me.
-
one more thing. Im not perfect either.I had a cheeseburger for dinner tonight LOL Im not talking about your weight loss. Im talking about your depression. Fix that first.You are too important for that :eek:
-
I dont know what to say but go to the doc and get out of this depression thing. There is no reason you should be so depressed. Ive weighed over 400 lbs for the last 10 years and have never been depressed.Sad some days but every day isnt normal. As far as the video games. STOP. That right there could be causing your depression. You think its fun but all it is is another addiction. Just like gambling,eating,smoking ect. You need to excersise and get some fresh air and sunlight. Im not saying this to be mean. Im saying it because I want you to feel better. life is to short to play video games all evening and being depressed. Im sorry but Im only saying.Good luck. Defenetly work on the sad thing before anything because you cant do anything if youre sad all the time.

If drinks go through the band I dont understand why we cant drink right up untill the time we eat. I understand waiting 30-60 min after but why before?
-
the Breakfast you mentioned is on the diet guide my nut gave me. no wrap though but half a wheat pita so its fine. People crack me up on this board sometimes. I wonder why they even got the band if they are such diet experts. I should move to Australia because i agree with there thinking too. Everything is good for us in moderation.even a little fat.LOL
-
swigging alfredo sauce. LMAO thats funny. I also agree this thread is reassuring. I am only a baby bandster myself but I eat whatever i make my family( Ive always cooked healthy food with ALL the food groups, but wow! i ate like a full grown man so its so refreshing to eat like a little lady:)
-
Are you afraid of needles in anyway? Because if you are maybe you can tell your family doc and he can give you some valuim for it. I have a very high pain tolerance so getting my fills has been a breeze and they have a hard time finding my port too.They poke me alot! Sure it hurts a little but it doesnt freek me out. Everyone is different. Im sure that would help you a little. And dont give up ya need those fills. Also Just request that the doc does them. Just be nice about it and they should be nice back. If they get snippy find a new fill doc. I hope everything works out for ya:)

Thanks guys. Im so happy Im getting restriction because I have been working my butt off and I want this band to chip in a little LOL. I feel my will power slipping and wanting to eat more so this thing working is a huge deal for me. I was about to give up but now with a little help from my friend ( the band) I think I can do this WHOOHOOO. I think I may have ate too fast for lunch but before this fill I could wolf the food down and no pain. So this fill must be it or at least close to my sweet spot. Its funny how you can give up on yourself and think nothing including surgery will work. I need some faith in this band.
-
I know this sounds stupid but i just got my 4th fill 2 days ago and had no different feeling. No restriction. I could eat anything as fast as I wanted to. Well I just got done eating 2 bites of ham and a string cheese and on my last bite I had this small uncomfy feeling in my chest for the 1st time. Is this the feeling of full? Or did I eat to fast?I hardly ate anything YAY. This band thing may work for me:)
-
I just had my 4th fill 8cc in 14cc band and i feel nothing no change what so ever:( Ive never got stuck or felt sick. I can easily eat a couple cups of food. Shouldnt I feel something by now? Im freekin out. I am losing but its because I stop myself from eating. I never feel satisfied. Im just getting fed up I feel like crying
-
I agree "diets" are such a waste of time. There are plenty of skinny people that enjoy all types of food. They know when to quit. I personaly dont:) Thats why I got this band.
-
Thanks kiz. You are right I am a nervous reck LOL I just think in the back of my mind ,nothings worked why should this be any different. Ya know.I just need to feel this thing really working before I can believe it. My will power always failes about 3 months into a diet and well that time is coming so I need these fills to kick in.
-
see thats what makes me upset about this whole band thing. If I have to stop myself from over eating I would have never forked out $15000 to get the band. I would have dieted.
-
Im going for my 4th fill today and Im very frustrated because I dont ever feek any different after them. When I do my drink test after should the Water go down smooth or sit in my chest for a second? I dont understand how I should feel. as of now I can drink a cup of water in seconds. Should I still be able to do that with restriction?
-
this is insane. Ive lost about 60 lbs.in 2 months and have no restriction but Ive been going to the doc every 2 weeks to get fills because he knows Im working really hard on my own. We got this band for help because we cant do it on our own. I can do any diet for a few months but then i give up so I need to have restriction soon or I will fail at this too. Im sick of diets. I want to eat like every other skinny person. They dont eat salads 3 times a day they eat less. Thats what i forked over $15000 for.
