Hey there, how's your weight loss coming along? Its so hard to give pointers these days since I havent lost a pound in a couple of months now (think I need a fill). The best advice I can give is to make sure you are working out at least 3-4 times a week (I was doing 5-6 times in the beginning) and make conscious decisions of what you are eating. The band does limit the amount of food you can eat, but it doesnt always limit what you are eating. Heavy starches like bread, certain pasta, rice, gives me a hard time but i can live without. Chips on the other hand, is my weakness and it does not limit that for me really.
So just beware. Count your calories. Know of what it takes to burn those calories off and you may think twice before making a bad decision. 30 minutes on the elliptical at a pretty steady pace burns about 350 for me and that's pretty hard work. So some times when I go for that bag of chips and thats 280 cals, it doesnt seem worth it. -
Thanks for the info. I have been so lost but now I have a starting point. Keep up the good work!!

I am so very frustrated with my Dr's. office - completed final dietician meeting on Oct. 1st was told that I should know something in 2 to 3 weeks. I called insurance company on 10-12 to see if anything has been submitted - Nothing recieved from the Dr's. office. Called Dr.'s office and the office staff sucks and are very rude. Telling me that it takes time and they are not going to have me pressure them. I held my end of making sure I kept my appointment and making sure they had my paperwork. Rude person tells me she just got paperwork on Tues. Why just on Tuesday when I finished what I was supposed to do on the 1st? Paper needed didn't arrive till Tues. I DIDN'T RECIEVE the form till Tuesday - Why wasn't somebody checking the folder to make sure everything was there??? We started this back in APRIL!! Thinking of changing Dr. - Don't know what to do at this point. Am I not being fair??
