So have you noticed any weight loss? I am asking because I ordered the DVD's to do at home and I am wondering if it really works. It would be great to see some input or if I am going to waste my time spending money on the DVD's. ~thanks.

SO I RECENTLY GOT MY FILL JULY 19TH AND NOW MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT!!! A LOT! THIS IS NOT NORMAL CHUNKS THATS RIGHT CHUNKS I HAVE STARTED BY ONLY WASHING MY HAIR EVERY OTHER DAY AND DRINKING PRENATAL PILLS (NOT PREGNANT)...SO PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I HAVE TO CHANGE OR ADD TO MY DIET IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THANKS SO MUCH.

:sad:Well since I got banded on May 18th, 2010 I have lost a total of 30 Lbs and since then I have not been able to lose anymore. I have not gotten my first fill I will go on July 19th...Does anyone else have the same problem? I watch what I eat and I excersice 3 times a week (3 mile walks) and still nothing?!! I don't know what I am doing wrong?? Can someone please let me know...Thanks much!!

I think I will have to switch up what I eat. I also Just remembered that I have Turbo Jam at home so I think I will stay indoors today and see how it goes I am going to start switching things up and hopefully that helps with the results. thanks so much!

Thank you all. Maybe I should be a little more clear. I lost 15 Lbs on my pre-op and 15 Lbs after getting banded. Now I just lose 1-2 Lbs here and there but not really a big difference. All I really do is speed walking I can't find myself to jog right now I get so tired speed walking as it is. I have started doing bleachers though so I hope to see some kind of improvement. ReverieWhat kind of videos are good to do? I really need some help I am feeling discouraged. But thank you all for your relies.

Thank you. I do tend to weigh myself everyday...I really need to stop doing that and I also have to give away my scale... I must admit I do cheat once in a while but I work it off I end up pushing myself more when I excersice. I think the stress I am going through right now might add to me not losing any but I hope that changes once I get my fill...I keep telling myself that with time I will lose the weight and I am keeping my fingers crossed I have about 65 more Lbs to go and I am going to keep telling my self that I will reach my goal.

I am on the same boat...I was banded May 18th and have only lost 30 Lbs and since then I am stuck I excersice on a daily basis and eat right and NOTHING!! I have no idea what I am doing wrong I hope once I get my first fill I will start to lose some more I too feel discouraged right about now :grouphug: ~Karina

It has officially been 4 weeks since I got banded and I have been eating some what normal food taking it really slowly staying away from bread and rice and red meat. One thing is that I have been burping a lot! After every meal is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong I still have not got my first fill I will go in on July 19th..another question how about coffee? Is it too soon to drink some? I only have it in the mornings about 8oz. or less with artificial sweetner..Can someone please let me know if this is normal or if I should change something...

Thank you all for your comments I thought it was just me...now I won't feel so bad it is kinda embarassing though :/

So today is my first day on the Opti-fast "pre-op" diet and I have done good so far. I hope I make it for the two weeks and then I will get banded on May 18th. I am so excited! I will post pics soon. We can do this!!!!:bored::thumbup:

Hello everyone! I am officially banded it's been a couple weeks and a day and I am hanging in there I have lost in total Lbs. as of today 22 I am so excited! I hope everyone else is doing great!

I am doing much better my surgery is in two days and I am very excited!!!! I have been reading that the "south beach diet" is good after the surgery so I am going to stick to that and see how it works out. I hope everyone is doing well! I am also -10 Lbs from my opti-fast I am so happy about that too! Just 62 more Lbs and I will be at my goal weight! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Today is day 9 and I having an "ok" day I wish these days would go by faster! I am ready to get this started.....So far it's been ok but it seems like it's getting harder but I am staying on track for myself! I just need to find people around me to support me cause it seems like everyone is not on my side but I am going to make it no matter what.

Day 8 of my Opti-Fast diet and I have lost 7 Lbs!!! Super Excited!!! Next week is my surgery 6 more days!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!

Today is Day 3 of Opti-fast. I must say I have been doing good but this morning I started cramping a lot not sure if it's a side effect or what it could be but other than that I am trying to stay strong and block out the pain. I hope you all are well and stay on track trust me it's hard but in the end it will be so worth it! We can do this!!!!

I am very excited that we are all in this together. Day 2 of my opti-fast has been ok other than my stomach growling and making funny noises but I feel great! I hope everything continues to go good and we all stay on track. I am very hopefully that in the end I will be a new me :thumbup: I will post before and after pictures soon...I am so excited to get banded already I can't wait!!
