Hi everyone! I have started a new program coach to 5k in 7 months. I have always wanted to bea runner but never thought I would do it.. well I am.. so if you would like to start let me know I am up to 10 min!!! whoot! I have a confession.. I have been drinking while eating and I think that is why I still seem to eat more. I know I need to stop.. But in the Am I cant eat much I do okay at lunch but at night I can eat like 6 meatballs and mashed potatos.. I am thinking thats tooo much what do you guys think? Any advice. I have also been having trouble eat the right foods sometimes But i am doing better. Need another fill I believe I have 11 or so in my 14 cc band,, any advice????????:thumbup:

Hi Everyone its been a while since i have been on here. I dont have alot restriction yet in my band thats a size 14.. I have 10 in.. I am starting to get worried that I am only going to lose the 38 lbs I have. I started with 150 to lose.. so I would have thought by now I would be down atleast 50 by now. I recently started running in addition to walking. I am just kinda at a lose. can anyone help? :w00t:

Hi everyone... I wouldnt get down those of you who havent lost alot... I have only lost 38... I was hoping to be down 50 but atleast I am down.. Remember eveyones weight loss is different! maybe we just havent hit our sweet spots!:biggrin:

I would not give up.. I didnt have time to do a post op diet and I had sugery.. I gained like5 lbs before sugery! I would say try the best you can.. after surgery you will do better!!

I am just starting to tell in the tummy... hang in there it will come!

Hi all!! I have the larger 14 CC band just wondering when everyone else hit there sweet spot? I just got filled today and up to 7 cc!

I think untill you get filled 3 to 4 times you dont really lose much.. I wouldnt worry tho.. I was stuck at 20 lbs and now since the last fill I have lost like 10lbs

Dont worry just take it slow!

Hi all!! just wondering whats everyone eating? I have kinda stalled in my weight loss.. I can eat about anything I want and that is not a good thing! So wondering what everyone is eating? Anyone have any healthy ideas I can pick up at the store! This weight needs to come off and I need your support!

Ritalou wow your down almost 30lbs.. thats great! I am green in envy:biggrin:... ha Keep you head up.. I have only lost 20.. I have my 2nd fill on tuesday I hope I cant eat as much after!:thumbup:

I am so Discouraged my weight is not moving at all.. Feels like I didnt even have anything dones... Thought I would be down 30 by now! Urgh:mad:

So I am stuck at 18-20lbs.. My weight seems to shift.. I havent been doing to well on eating right.. I am feeling so depressed... I am working out about 40 min a day. I guess just last week due to vaction I got off track.. Anyone else stuck in there weight loss or feeling depressed?

I basicly think he had to look it up because there are 3 different sizes of lapbands... small standered and large.. I know standered is 10 and larger is 14..

I had 3.5 cc added to my band and I have had no porblems since the fill. The first couple of days the Soups filled me up.. now I am back on reg food and I can tell alittle but not alot since the fill... I woundnt worry about the after affects of the fill... I hope next fill I have more restriction!! Ohh I i am finally down 20 lbs:thumbup:

Had my first fill.... It was fine and I didnt feel a thing!

I have my first fill on tues and I am already scared! Anyone else freaking out? They do mine under xray so I dont think they have to poke around as much but still just worried!

Just wondering what your fills are like under fluriscopy? I have my first fill next week and just wonder if they have to poke as much?

Hey just wondering what your fills are like under fluriscopy? I have my first one done next tues.. under fluoroscopy

One of my friends that had the band awhile go filled me inthat her doctor said only 20 grams of fat a day.. since i have been doing that I have lost! Maybe try that!

My first fill will be on the 28th. I am nervous and excited! Still havent lost alot of weight between 12-15lbs... wish it was more!

I feel the same as you girlies! I was banded on 6-30, and I have lost 15 and feel like I should be losing more.. My wieght seems to change everyday! I think I should get rid of my scale.. every time I go to the bathroom I swear its calling my name. I have been sticking to the diet and feel good about that. I have also started working out 4days so far this week on the treadmill for 30min. I still need to jump on today so that will make it 5 days. I am disappointed that the weight is not dropping! I would just like to be down 20 for the month I know thats not the average buthow can it not be dropping when I eat like 1/2 of what I used to!

Hi everyone! I was banded on 6/30 and I cant for the life of me find my port. Just wondering if I should be able to feel it of not?

I figured since I am larger maybe that was why I cant feel it.. I thought I found it on my right side but they said no... its on the left. Are fills harder when you cant feel it?

I thought I felt it on my right side by a small insicion but I called today to see if i was right and they said no.. my port is on the left side near the larger insicion. I have no clue. on my right side it must be scare tissue. On my left side i dont really feel anything. I thought my be i felt it but I dont think thats it.. I am worried about finding it! I know i shouldnt be but I am!
