Labor Day Challenge!
merry-one replied to GlenSand's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Glenda, Good for you! Keep up the good work. You are doing well on your journey. I got banded on Dec 18, 2008 and have lost a total of 51 lbs. I've been perusing the board to get my motivation back up to speed .... it's getting there. Mary -

Glenda, How's the exercise going? I'm trying to get myself motivated to kick it in gear and haven't been able. Yesterday I ran up and down the street holding my little girl up on her bike (she's afraid to fall). So today it's the same. So, I've got two days going... Mary -
Any wine drinkers out there?
merry-one replied to banded07-n-ohio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You are talking 150 plus calories per glass of wine (depending upon glass size). I've not been loosing and realized that my liquid calorie (wine & an occaisional martini) consumption has increased. I believe this is why I haven't been losing recently. So I figure I'm going to give it up (except for special occasions and include it in the calorie total) until I hit goal. Good luck. -
4 month slump- need encouragement and a kick in the rump
merry-one replied to als74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a similar issue, when I get home about 6:30 pm I'm starving. So I eat a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (lots of protein) with a little bit of fat free catalina and that holds me till dinner about 9pm. I was banded on 12/18/08 so I understand where you are coming from. -
Considering gastric band
merry-one replied to Crash220's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was a huge diet coke drinker and caffeine drinker. Haven't had either since the surgery. I now only drink decaf coffee in the am and water. I also try to stay away from aspartame. I had my surgery about 4.5 months ago. I thought I would miss it, but don't. Everyonce in awhile I miss it, but it's the head missing it. Good luck.
