You are six days out, my dr had me on liquid for 2 weeks mushy 2 weeks then solids. Today I had 2 eggs, cheese stick which I only like one kind jalopeana and 14 light pringles. lunch 2 oz ham cheese stick 14 pringles dipped in ketchup. snack cheese 14 pringles. dinner grilled chicken cut up very small dipped in light ranch dressing, green Beans. 1040 calories and 65 Protein The cheese helps me get my protein. I'm very picky and it is quick. I usually have fresh carrots or broccli dipped in ranch instead of the chips but I was out.

Thanks so much you guys for your support I raised my calories and changed the food I was eating and lost a pound just since Tuesday! I can't believe I was eating 5-800 and starving myself I guess I have 1000- 1200 as of today. I thought I was only suppost to eat 1/2 cup of food each meal, but I was wrong. This is week nine for me and I could have lost so much more had I listened before this week. Guess you have to learn from your mistakes. woooo hooooo!!!!!!:thumbup:

I'm in I would love to be down 30 pounds by Eater! My start weight as of Monday was 263, but I got up and lost 1 pound since I added more calories on Tuesday. Today 262 woooo hooo!!!! I'm on my way!!!!:w00t:

Does anyone have a vomit like taste which makes you sick to your stomach? I had a grilled chicken yesterday for lunch went down fine chewed it great, but this taste keeps coming back to me. What is it and why?????

How many cc did you have before the unfill?

Congrats on the weight loss!! Have fun on the cruise you earned it, just make healthy food choices. The Tattoo LOL! I think everyone needs something to look forward to.

I do not like the cheese thats individual wrapped at all, but someone told me about the pepperjack. I got some today and it was great, my new snack. I have also been given advice about raising my calories so I guess we will have to wait till next Tuesday and see if the scales move. My calories went from 600 to 1200 and I have added 30 min extra of treadmill. So have you guys banded in November lost alot of inches? I am starving and i still have two in half weeks till next fill.Does fills olny keep you tight for about two weeks? Cause I have 4 cc in 10 band and my band was tight two weeks ago.

I'm one who spells it that away and i FIND IT CRAZy that you took the time to point out that it was spelled wrong. You better not read any of mine cause I am not good at spelling or punctuation. I spell it how it sounds and don't care. I am on hear for the support of people in the same boat as me. not to feel worse about myself with you telling me how to spell. i'm sure i will never spell that word wrong agian though.

I got sick started throwing up friday night was taken to the hospital. They give me three bags of fluid and as of this morning i'm up on the scale 3 pounds. I'm really starting to not like this band. I have always been able to loose weight at the snap of a finger, but i can't keep it off. With the band I can't even loose. For breakfast I had 2 eggs and 14 light pringles. snack 1/2 cup peanuts. Lunch 1/2 cup of homemade potato soup and I will have 1/2 cup of potato soup for supper.snack sugarfree popsicole. I walked on treadmill for 30 min burned 201 calories and tonight will walk the same. I had nothing to eat on Saturday cause I was so sick Sunday has two cups potato soup. I realize the fluid they give me will make me gain but what if it don't go away. Why does the band have to be so hard to figure out.

I have decided my weightloss has stopped because of to low calorie intake. staring today I will increase my calories to 1000 and walk an extra 30 minutes each day. I'm going to have my husband hide the scales so I can only weigh once week. I feel i get disgouraged if the scales don't move like I want. Today I decided to make deviled eggs to snack on for my protein. I have not been getting in 60 grams a day. i DON'T LIKE COTTAGE CHEESE or stringe cheese I do like peanuts but they are high in calories. What do some of you fix for snack low in calories but high in protein. I'm getting tired of same old food.

My calories have been between 750-900 and I burn 400 each day with the treadmill. If I take in more calories I gain so thats why I'm confussed. I realize I need more calories but if I gain what do I need to do? thanks for your advice.

I have lost 26 pounds since Nove 23, but I lost 20 the first two weeks after surgery. I feel this is going very slow, but I am loosing inches. The stomach bug was so painfull, they should warn you about what happens.I thought I was going to die finally went to ER, but the worst was already over. Not sure why but Before I caught the bug I stayed full all day long, today I am starving. But still controling my hunger on my own. How much have you lost since surgery? I have 4cc in my band, how much did you get first and 2nd fill?

I started at 265 and as of today 263!:smile2:

had fill 0n 6th down 2 more pounds, but today is first day back on solids. Sure hope don't gain any.did anyone gain after back on solids?

yes i got up this morning and gained them both back. Calorie counting was easy, but this lapband is hard. If I eat more than 1/2 cup at each meal i gain. this does not make since to me at all. I get a fill loose then gain this is so discouraging! any help please! advice this is crazy and im mad!!!

That is so good! I was banded on nov 23 and have only lost 21 pounds. So tell us your secrets what have you been doing to loose the weight? How many calories, what kind of things have you been eating, how much 1/2 cup or more, do you exercise? All help us bandsters can use.:tt1::thumbup:

I totally agree with elfipoo the band is just like having a tredmill or elipctical. Just as long as before you sign up the person in charge says its ok for you to join with having the band. you will have just as hard of a time as them and it will totally motivate you. i joined a biggesets loser como last year it was great but broke my foot and didnt get to finish.wish they were doing it agian goog luck in whatever coice you make.

I had my first fill yesterday. My dr used his hand found the port and stuck the needle in. It didn't even hurt, but knida made me sick for just sec. Went and took drink water and was out the door. I got 3cc put in 10 cc lapband. I didn't expect to feel anything on my first fill but I do. I feel comfortable restriction. I am suppost to eat only liquid for 48 hours. I hope this restriction lasts cause nI'm lovin it. How long does the restricion usually last???????

another fill in four weeks how about you?

Oh yeah my stomach growls all the time but i'm not hungry does anyone else have this?
