I have not had a Diet Coke in 10 months... i miss it mostly fo the caffeinne. I am not a coffee/tea drinker. but i think if i had a soda today i would not like how blated it makes you...and the burping would last all day! I love Asian food...i still eat it but i make sure i divide it in 2- 3 portions so thati make sure i dont eat all of it. I dont have much restriction and so i am going with will power. I have not had bread ...that i gave up on my own. Rice i think i will never be able to give up...must be a Latina thing. Take everyday as a new day... i screw up alot but i dont put myself down. I have lost 40lbs...not as much as many in this site but i, getting closer to my 1st goal! I told everyone.... most are supportive, some have become the "food police"

i have had 6 fills and not much restriction... but that is just me. Everyday i wake up and hope i dont get hungry between meals and that i have lost a little.... good luck on the competition and your move >>>PRAYING<<<<

I have been banded for 10 months...ost 40 lbs so far. But in the last 3 month i have not lost an oz. Pretty fustrating...since ima going to the gym 3 times a week. My diet is not perfect, i am not into fried food...but i still do like my rice, pasta and crunchy carbs that are so bad. I have almost no restriction (after 6 fills) so i am depending on my will power till i get to the sweet spot i hear so much about. Take everyday as a NEW day to make choices. Yesterday you might of eaten crap...but TODAY you will change what you put in your mouth. We have all had bad eating habbits for years, it is unrealistic to think we can change and be perfect in a short amount of time. Keep your chin up!! and take it one day at a time. Remember you have lost 30lbs already...that is great! My goal is to loose a total of 50lbs by my 1 year anniv in Sept. Doesnt sound like much...but it took me 10 years to gain 100 Lbs, i think it will take me maybe 2 years to loose it

too funny!!! my craving go more for the crunchy carbs such as Sun chips, Thin wheats, Gold fish.. but know that i am potty trainning my twins and giving them a couple of M&Ms when they go, i am treatting myself to some too... I need to stop it. Good luck

let him get on this site a couple of times... he will see that we all come here to support, to vent, to get motivated. He needs to be less insecure about the issue of you looseing the weight, he cant be making you feel guilty about this. I met my husband almost 10 years ago on the Net. it was a big surprise to me.. I wish you the best.

DITO!!! HAving high expectations can be a bitch! I keep telling myself that " it took me 10 years to gain 100 lbs, i cant expect to loose it in 1 year" I have stopped weighing myself weekly, now i am doing it every 2 weeks.. i dont care so much about #'s on the scale as i do about clothes fitting me right and getting into a size 14 jean someday. good luck and chin up!

Suday..im at work. I am meeting some friends that i have not seen in more that 5 years (before having my twins) They dont know i have the Band, funny think is that i think right now i weigh the same than when we saw eachother last. So maybe i will tell them, or maybe not. Have a great week everyone. Oh yeah... still not lost any weight:sneaky:

well the surprise was on me!!! I met two friends. The last time i saw them one of them was quiet large, even bigger than me. WEll... i did not recognize the woman walking towards me till she opened her mouth to say hello... OMG!!! it was only half of her!! She lost over 130lbs in the last 2 years. She had the Gastro Bypass and had reached her goal. I was speechless...and very happy for her. But in my head i was like" why cant i be a skinnymine now" We talked just a little about the surgery and all because we had to catch up with so much in 2 hours. She looks totally different, i would of never recognized her if we bumped into eachother in the street. So, i did tell them about my band... it felt ok. But seeing her gave me a new motivation. I added a pic to my album... she is the one in red. I want to be irrecognisable too!! sorry for th spelling.. Have a great day everone. Oh yeah... this week im goin to the gym 5 days. to see if it wakes up my body. Hi Finallyincontrol: Thanks for the advice. I will try advice # 1.3.4 I only drink water, no juices, coffee, milk. Just started snaking on posicles, not bad

I have been wondering how to do it... will try it thanks!
