  1. Maybe I should try eating more calories? I knw I eat mostly lean proteins and have been working out and lifting weights. Hope I can report more weight loss. B: 2 hard boiled eggs L: 4 saltine crackers with brie cheese and ham (3 slices total) D: Chicken Pomodoro with provolone (Trader Joes has the best meals- 340 calories a serving and 34g of protein! My latest fave!!)
  2. I was wondering the same thing!! I feel like I eat small portions, don't snack and stick to lean proteins and yet I lose weight VERY SLOWLY. ANd I exercise! What's the deal. B: egg beaters, 2 slices bacon, 1 silver dollar pancake L: 2handfuls of kettlecorn and a bite of cheese :wub:( D: Filet of baked tilapia, a 1/2 of a cherry Icee S: 3 handfuls of kettle corn ;o( (Actually ended up giving my friend the bag because it was addicting)
  3. Hi Everyone! This is my first time posting my meals. Can someone tell me if they feel I am eating well? I feel I am eating small portions and healthy but I am losing slowly. I'm sure it's me being impatient. B: 1/2 of a protein shake (vanilla soymilk, 1/4 banana, protein, ice) l: Gyro (only ate the lamb/beef meat inside and it had some taziki sauce-- maybe 3 ounces), 5 french fries-- too full d: 1 filet of Orangy rought fish (100 calories/20 grams of protein... so delicious and sooo filling!) s: string cheese wrapped in slic of turkey meat

    Everything is going well I'm eating right but after losing 10pounds, I haven't seen much change after that. I keep hearing I should expect to lose after my firt fill in 2 weeks. So far I have healed really quickly with no major complications at all.

     

    How are you feeling? You just got banded? What do you think? Glad to be meeting your this Thursday!~

    See you there!

  7. Hi. I am from Long beach. I am going to a support group at a local bandsters house next thursday night. I was wondering if you were interested in going. I am trying to recruit younger twenty somethings for the group. It is in Westminster (OC). You can email me at cynthia.alonzo@ca.rr.com

     

    Take Care,

    Banded 5/26th - questions

    Zuly 98... you sound like me! It's good to know I am not alone. I wish we could both be reporting major changes. I am baffled because I am eating so many fewer claories and no bread... why no change. I have read that we shouldn't expect loss because our body is recovering from the truama of surgery. So I hope after the first fill I will see a bigger change. It's hard to be patient though when you know you aren't eating, you want to see results.

    Banded 5/26th - questions

    Gottagetbanned--- I'm on your boat! I was banded on May 26th and feel like a loser! I lost 7- 10 pounds the first week but now... nothing and sometimes I weigh myself and it's between 7-10 pounds. I get so discouraged because I eat nothing and walk... why am I not losing more?! When will I see the "fruits of my labor"?! I know it will take time but it's nice to know I'm not crazy.
  11. That's great! You sound very happy. Can I ask how long it took you to reach your goal? My goal is 110 pounds and I have been banded for 10 days now and have lost 5 pounds but nothing else. I feel like I am a failure. I know I am hard on myself but I want results fast because I eat nothing and am so motivated to stay active and healthy. How long did it take you to reach your goal? I just can't wait to lose at least 40 pounds. SOme days I feel so emotional about it. Almost like I am trapped with or without the band and it's all in my head. Is this normal?

    Looking for locals in Orange County.

    I was recetly banded on May 26th and would really love to meet with people who have been through it as well. I live near Long Beach and the OC (right in the middle in Cypress). Please let me know if there is one available. This summer is ideal for me and any evening week is good for me.

    Calling all who had surgery in MEXICO

    I was recently banded in Tijuana at Hospital Angeles with Dr. Lopez-Corvala through World Med. The staff was so nice, attentive and helpful. The hospital was clean, safe and professional. I had an easy recovery in my private room. Good luck!
