    Is this normal

    I still feel mine, it's been a little over a month
  2. I have only lost 12 lbs this month too. But i think it is exactly right and we don't even HAVE restriction yet. I did lose 40 in December. If you lose too fast you will be all saggy!!! It is way better to lose slower. Why are you in such a hurry?:biggrin:
  3. HI! nice to meet you! youre doing really well too!!!!

  4. We started at the same weight! I hope I do as well as you after 1 year!!!!

  5. you should max out your band before even considering alternatives. some peoples "sweet spot" is 9.5ccs in a 10cc band!
  6. I am getting married on October 21!! I have the same goal too. plus sized dresses are ugly!

    Help!!!!

    consume your protein and wait for a fill. A lot of people gain during the stage before they are in the green zone.
  8. yeah. AWESOME!! but I don't think it's that big of a deal because I started so high! (326) the super over weight lose a lot more but it seems like less. I bet the next 50 will show SO much more. I have a new goal of 25 more lbs. Already down 1 more. Give me a high five!!:thumbup:

    1 month Post op: losing fast

    I had some requests for tips.. I am trying to think of what I have done differently. For one- I don't drink any coffee or soda or any caffeine which increases appetite and dehydrates you. I quit cold turkey along with smoking cigarettes. I eat anything I want. But, I usually just have protein or mostly protein because I crave it. I like canned tuna, beans, and chicken mostly. I have a stupid protein shake every day because it is the only way I can take my pills. It usually has 30 grams. I haven't really had more than 1000 calories a day, but I don't count bc thats why I have a band! I hear I should be having more. I don't exercise at all (I can't until I heal from a pulled muscle) I like herbal iced tea and crytal light to get all my water. I like sugar free popsicles when I want to eat but am not hungry. I DO NOT drink for an hour after I eat. I watch the clock like a hawk for that hour to pass. I drink all the way up tp my very first bite. A few days ago I decided to go off of Celexa, a major contributor to my weight problem. I will let you know if that makes a difference. :wink2::sad::drool:

    Dealing with Cravings/Food Obsessions.

    sometimes brushing your teeth helps. It makes you not want to eat anymore.:wink:
  13. I feel like thats a pretty drastic measure for 55 lbs...
  14. I, so glad you posted this! I have lost 51 lbs since december 1st and I was feeling like I was a freak or doing something wrong bc I was losing too fast. I am glad you are here :scared2::cursing:

    50 Pounds

    Yayyy! I lost over 50 lbs!! I'm so excited. This all happened from December 1st, 2009 through yesterday. I don't have any restriction but I'm trying really hard to watch what I eat. I haven't exercised at all yet bc I pulled a muscle behind my port, but I hope to start soon!

    Crazy Skinny Goals!

    That sounds really cool :biggrin:

    first fill!

    I had my first fill yesterday and I found out that I pulled a muscle behind my port. Thats why it hurts and pinches when I move. I have to "take it easy" Thats lame bc I am so bored and Brian is a terrible house keeper!!!

    From low to HIGH to low......

    It took me over a year to finally get my surgery from when I started my 6 month pre op. It seems like forever, but a couple extra weeks will seem laughable in 1 year.
  22. How is it goin?

  23. HiMow

    Feeling like a failure

    some people don't respond to "tough love" and instead it just shuts them down. Find a doctor that doesn't charge to transfer, I am so sure they are out there. :thumbup:
  24. HiMow

    Feel like I don't even have the band

    but you know it's really common to even gain weight until you get the right restriction, right?
