Want To Be Thin

OMG!! Congrats. How are you doing it. I was 304 got down to 217 as of last april, had 4cc taken out due to to much vomiting. I have gained back several, i mean several lbs. I went back to eating little sunday. I have lost 6.5 as of today. But, I am starving. What do you eat in an average day.

Okay tell me this: I have been banded since june 2007.

Hi all, I had surgery 6/7/2007. Weighed in at 304. Got down to 217. Got sick had 2 cc taken out. Went back to old eating habits. Depression set in. Back up to 240. I have many friends that got to their goal. I ask what do you eat how, when, etc. They all say nothing. I need help. So sick of being fat. So tired of ppl saying "didn't you get lapband", etc. Tired of ppl saying they do not want lapband cause it did not help me. Please just someone, just one person. Could you help me get back on track. Could you tell me how and what to eat, drink and when. I do not know what to do. I had my lapband to its max and I still could eat. I have had test, I have had thyroid test, blood work. xrays, etc. Nothing is wrong. Everything is where it is suppose to be. It is just me. ME. ME. Why can I not be like my friends, why can I not be thin. Why, Why, Why.

hi, glad this site is here. i got banded in june 2007. started out at 304. did great for the first year and a half. then starting eating like i use too, but in smaller portions due to the band. i figured out how to eat more with drinking, eating soft foods, etc. i am a emotional eater, we lost our home of 27 years, our business went from making 6-8000 a month to 1500. food is the only thing i can turn to when i am feeling depressed. i have had my band filled to 9 cc. I got down to 218 and stayed there for a year. over the last 6 months i knew i had gained but did not want to weigh. I decided to go for it again thru low carbing and i got on the scale this morning. I weighed 226. Happy cause if i had not had the band i would have gained 50 lbs. I am here for support. so far today i have had 2 scrambled eggs with cheese. 4 slices of summer smoked sausage with cheese. drank 2 glasses of water and lots of coffee. i will not give up my coffee. can you guys give me some pointers for menus and snacks.

Hi all I was at 304 june 5, 2007, got down to 218 last year and maintained between 218 and 224, weighed on dec 25, 2009 i was at 228, so i decided this is it, i gotta do this. so i started low carbing (jan 2, 2010) or basically meat and cheese and salads, misc veggies, and nuts. and lots of water and coffee. cut out my cheetos, oreo cookies, lindell chocolates, chocolate ice cream, and all other junk food between. LOL. today is jan 7 and i am down to 221, praise God, i gotta do this i spent so much money and there are 4 women here that had it done and they all were at goal after 1 to 1 1/2 year. everyone looks at me and i know what they are thinking. the thing with not drinking 15-30 min prior and 1 hour after really does work. i feel stuck but I know after one hour i can start drinking my water.

i use to get them kind later in the day. my husband said my hectic day brought it on. are you getting your water in. are you going to post your daily foods here too. i am, even if no one else does, i want to keep up with what i am eating. when did you get banded.

thanks so much

hate to admit it, but i never quit. and i still smoke.

i got banded june 2007, i am up to 8.5 cc in my band, and i can eat alot still. meats will cause me to go to the potty, or a heavy lunch. the mornings are tough cause i am so tight. but i have seen that after pbing i can sit back down and eat normally again. i am not sure if i have ever found the "sweet spot" everyone talks about. I just know there are times i can eat alot and then there are times i cannot not eat hardly at all. i get food stuck alot.

i was banded 6/5/07 i was at 304 now at 226. started low carbing sunday. have not lost any weight over the last year. i know it is my fault. i have 4 women who are banded locally and if i ask what they eat they say, milkshakes, or popcorn, or chicken only. i know they have some kind of secret that they are not telling. LOL
