Whillow

HI- i have not posted here for a long long time.. i was banded in oct of 2009- i have lost 108lbs.. i desperatly want to lose another 30 because even though for a while i was happy with the way i looked i am starting to see the same fat girl i used to see. I have 7cc in my band, my last fill they tried to add 1cc and bring me to 7.5 but my water would not go down so they backed it off by .5cc I have lost 3 lbs in 4 weeks since that fill.. my morning and afternoons i do well, protien shake for breakfast and then a protien for lunch, tuna salad or chicken salad or my latest crazy 4 slices of boars head chicken with a half a slice of havarti with dill in each one, that usally fills me right up and im good.. If i need a snack while at work i a zone protien bar. my issue is when i get home from work 4ish and into the evening, that is when i eat the carbs... thats when i am at my hungriest.. i dont know if i need to just force the pure protien or if i need a fill.. does anyone have some advice?? I was going to the gym 3-4 days a week forever, but have not been in the last month or so... guess the question is to fill or not to fill..... thanks.

13 months out -- and 86 pounds down.. but the last few months have been a nightmare, gained 6 lb, went and got a fill, lost 6 in 3 weeks,, not the scale wont move at all, I really dont think i need another fill - at times i feel pressure now and feel that a fill would make me too tight.. i have been doing a low carb way of eating for the last week,, greek yogurt for breakfast , salad with some cheese for lunch and a protien for dinner,, so why wont the damn scale more.. I want/need to lose another 40lb. any ideas?

make your own with tomato sauce and spices

I am right there with you , my bandversary was wednesday and i am sitting at 88lb when all i wanted to was hit 100 i feel like i failed by not hitting that goal. I am going for another fill on 10/26 and hoping that it will give me just that little extra i need to get losing again.

So, my one year bandversary is tomorrow. I have to say i am very glad that I made this choice, however i have missed my one year goal by 12 pounds :smile2: I know it is of my own doing,,,, I do well all day, protien shake for breakfast, usually not hungry for lunch so a small salad or yogurt or a cheese stick does the trick.. but after work when i get home -- i get the muchies and then eat too much dinner. I need a fill and will be getting on on the 26th. I am so close to goal only another 45 or so how do you keep your resolve for this last little bit,, i cant seem to find it.. and I am just wasting time maintaing my weight when could be losing the rest, some please kick my ass

has anyone had a fill seem to kick in a week after you got it?

I play wow as well... are we on the same realm?? Im on Draka..

Any ideas to get the weightloss going.. I am at 6cc in a 10c band,, just got a fill last week.. eating less than i was before the fill but probably still a little too much -- I am doing mostly meats and salads - lettuce tomatoes cukes Until the end of august i was losing a steady 2-3 lb a week.. but not now, ive lose 1lb in the last week. I am not goig to make my goal of 100 gone by my bandversary :drool: Ive lost 87 to date and my year is up on the 13 of oct. I need a kick start,, any ideas other than another fill which they wont do until my next appointment on oct 26th.

So fricken Jealous!! 86 in 11 months here.
