Getting my second fill today..

try cream of wheat, mash potatos, potted meat.....anything within guidelines that is soft. sugar free pudding, cool whip, sugar free ice-cream low sodium cream soap......Im feeling yur pain....I have to get my second fill today.....Not looking forward to the after affects

Like another blogger said you have to have to excercise at least 3x's a week......And right down everything eating....VERY Important....Sometimes you could be loosing inches even if the scale goes up it could also be muscle mass your building behind the protein you endure everyday.....As far as eating and drinking at the same time...You have to be very careful, yu can stretch your band even more which defeats the case of getting the lapband...Try this; after you, get away from the table and find something to do for atleast 1/2hr....Go back and drink an 8oz glass of sugar-free or clear fluid drink....Good luck....

Ladies: you know when yu were a size that you didn't feel confortable and your man would look at all the small wasteline women with big bottoms right....Now since you have lost the weight have you notice that for some of our men (Not All, because some can appreciate when their woman is looking good) have this look of jealousy because now you are that smaller wasteline with a behind...And instead of them taking compliments for having a beautiful looking woman...They wanna hang around you with attitudes....Now That Is What I Called Sad.. Have a good day Everyone...Now I'm gonna wash my car for excercise...:tt2:

Sit back and really think about what you enjoyed most after you lost so much weight....How about going to clothing stores and trying on new clothes or talking to a psychiatricst about what is going on with you.....

Do you know how it slipped....?

Tried on a size 16W jeans...Got them on but couldn't close them...OMG it's looking good....I have another goal, to get into those jeans by Sept 1........Still loosing weight on first fill....(6/21/10).:cool:

Maybe you have to look at what your eating.,....I find that any bread base food (crackers, pretzels, bread) can slow down the process....Rember to count your calories(no more than 1000 to 1200 per day.....including your drinks...) Good luck!!!

Good morning how lovely it is..I am in such a good mood.. I went out yesterday and bought me a size 18 jeans thinking I was holding them for Sept..Tried them on last night, OMG, Let me count the waves....Not only do they fit, I have some room..I guess I am under-estimating the lap band progress...Can I say I went from a size 24 to a size 18 in 4 months.....I'm trying to keep my composure (of course I cried last night)....It's a good feeling....Even though every now and then I may stray, Like get a slice of pizza but I make sure I work it out the same day.....GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, AS I ALWAYS SAY IT'S NOT EASY BUT IT CAN GET DONE IF YOU REALLY WANT IT AND BELIVE IN IT..LIKE NOTHNG ELSE IN YOUR LIFE.

Im still at 5 cc. I was filled on 6/21/10 and it is stll holding....I don't know why but I am very glad.....Congradulatoins on loosing the 5 lbs......

I am so sorry that this is happeing to you...Maybe I can give you some suggestions to see how this holds on your stomache....Maybe try to go back to the first and second stages of the band after surgery...and on the seventh day when you eat.....Right down everything you eat and put a notation on how your feeling and what possiblly may have triggered the nausea....Good luck!!!

Thank you for reminding me to do other things such as eating......Down 35 pound and counting since 3/28/10 surgery.....I am going to join a gym and also do belly dancing....I definately feel a need to get my sexy back......Again thanks for the inspiration.

Watched the Jillian Michaels show last nigt. I took some workout pointers and done them this morning.....Some days it's easier then the next....When you have a husband or boyfriend in your life doing things that distracts your positive energy...I'm still going strong....I want this to bad to give up....Down 35 lbs.:frown:

Let me tell you something.....When is it ever your time to take better care of yourself.....Remember it's God, you then chilren, husband, family and friends.....If you don't take care of your first....Then who wlll... I am so proud of what you done because you knew that your life matters first....Don't let anyone make you feel guily.....All you did was something to better yourself.....Congradulations on the weight loss....

As each day go by it will get much better. Congradulations on the first step...Now prepare yourself for the new you. Good Luck!

I would never thought of complaining about clothes I can't fit because they are to loose..Ha!Ha!...Sometimes I just wanna cry because now with the lap band done, it's so much easier for me to loose the weight.....Sometimes if I don't workout (aerobics), then I'll speed walk wherever I go for that day and still loose weight.....Lost so far 34 pounds and I'm loving it....Happy Holidays everyone....Do what's best for you during the holidays.....

I have medicare and we had to also do a sleep study and various other test.....PA.

Good morning all....Was a bad girl yesterday...Ate some french fries and now I'm paying for it...I saw the scale go up a 1/2 pound after I ate... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Way..Today my daughters and I are going to the track....THIS IS DEFINATELY A LESSON FOR ME.....STAY WITHN THE GUIDELINES...So I'm going to take my french frie tired eating self to this track....To do walk 3 laps and then strech...Will be joining the gym next week.....:smile:

Good Luck....I was the same way butttttt I said this is what I wanted and now I'm 31 pounds down since 3/28/10....The journey can be a good one.....Again Good Luck and Best Wishes.

No your not an idiot...At least you are identify the sitiuation and assessing what is best for you...It's not easy but remember before you put someting in your mouth that is not apart of the lap band diet....Remember why you got the surgery..Not to say you can't never eat what you enjoy but for most of us (including myself)...I can't and won't go back to my old eating habits because I know I am a food addict...After I loose 75 more pounds...I know I have to learn how to eat all over again...Good Luck!! We all need it... And don't be so hard on yourself...We all make mistake but keep the bigger picture in mind which is your heath...

I understood were you coming from....But since getting the band down..I feel like the original me is re-occuring.....Good luck to you...!!

I am so happy I got the LAP-BAND® done on 3/28/10..So far I lost 31 pounds as of today.....I'm not gonna say it is easy but I will say It's not hard.......Keep up the good work everyone......:thumbup:
