  1. I can't believe it, wow! Just 9 mths out? That's insane!
  2. Yeah, you're doing good. This is the more difficult part people refer to as "bandster hell" but I hate to be so negative. It's a transition period when your body is healing and needs time. I stalled for 6 weeks after the first few weeks. It's normal and your md expects you to stay the same or VERY slowly lose. So don't get discouraged w/ your loss so far. After you get going w/ the fills it will get easier and easier. Good luck!

  4. In response to your comment on my food pic... I do not drink protein shakes or supliments. My nutritionist recommends you get all you need from your food, and lucky for me I LOVe high protein foods. I'm a picky eater so the only meat I eat is chicken or turkey, no salads, only steamed veggies, and I rarely eat fruit. I just try to fill up on good stuff, even soups if I'm in a hurry. Watching the amount of food is key. A lot of busy people, like myself, carry around a container that is 1-2 cups so they can quickly put food in there and eat out of the container so they know they don't go over the limit. Your eyesballs are usually always bigger than your stomach! good luck!!!

  5. Oh BTW, down 23 lbs and 45.5 inches now. 2nd fill was last week (total 7cc in band) and I finally have pretty darn good restriction.

    Wanted to post an update real quick. I haven't been on here much b/c I have found a ton of answers and support through the blogspot community, awesome ladies!!! I was stuck at 260 lbs for probably 6 wks, it was hard mentally and emotionally. I finally started losing again 8-16 THANK GOD! I am down to 255 which much excitement! My fill seems bigger than other people's, which is cool, I just don't know how normal it is. First fill was 4cc and 2nd fill was 3cc so I'm at 7cc in a 11cc realize band. I don't know about restriction yet b/c this am is my first time on solids since my 2nd fill. I just had eggs and they say if you have "heartburn" you are full and it's wanting to come up. Well I have hb and I never do so I'm guessing 3 eggs filled me up. lunch is a BBQ at my moms for her bday and I'm planning on eating a soy burger pattie and some veggies so that should give me a good idea on my restriction! I miss you ladies, hope all is well and everyone is doing good. Seeing all your posts brings me back to reality when I'm being too hard on myself.

    I know this is kinda late but a natural way to "loosen" stuff up is to eat a few bananas and/or drink a few glasses of fruit juice. It may be just what you need to get it goin' through! Good luck!
