    My Band Journey

    Pictures of me along the way...
  5. That is awsome.. But I know how you feel becasue when you first get the surgery and you are shedding 1-3 lbs a day and you go from 1-3 lbs a week it is very frustrating. i am addicted to weighing myself. i know it is not healthy but it is my motivation to shy away from the bread and sweets. I will flip if my doc says no fill, I mean what did I get cutr open for idf not to have more restriction. Even 1-3 cc would be great. Try kaschi my doc recommended that brand they make cereal frozen entrees and bars. It is high in protein and has low calories and great veggies and very tasty easy to make. Yea 100 lbs in a year is awsome..

  6. well since i was still losing one pound a week, my dr. didnt even want to do a fill but i told him how hungry ive been and he agreed to put 1cc in (i have a 10cc band). i did the liquid diet again for 48 hours and lost 3 pounds. now that im back to my regular foods, i'm still not noticing any restriction :/ but like you, i have been eating a lot of chicken and fish, veggies, and fruits and staying FAR FAR away from carbs. i guess 1-2 lbs a week isnt so bad. that's about 100 lbs in a year!

  7. How has it been since your first fill, I have litte to no restriction right now so I am just trying to eat lots of fish chicken and veggies and no sweets very little bread also but I lose about the same weight as you. Hopefully it speeds up after my first fill 8/4...

  8. i'm not doing too bad. the weightloss has been sloooow lately (but healthy 1-2 lbs a week). i have my first fill tomorrow so we'll see how that goes! glad to hear you're doing well!!

  9. thanks it was great I have lost an additional 20 lbs.... I am eating solids and doing great. I am on my way to healthy how are you doing??

  10. I'm doing pretty good thanks for asking. Feeling nearly back to normal too. There was weight loss initially in the first couple weeks but now I've leveled out so I'm looking forward to my first fill in late July. I hope you're feeling great!

  11. not a problem! i see you were banded in june. how is everything going for you??

  12. Thanks for the add MegaN =)

  13. onenuttynurse- have you tried prenatal vitamins? i've been taking those and it seems to have gotten better. not to mention, my nails are really strong too :thumbup:

    Embarassed

    i've done it too. when you are on those liquids it just feels so good to CHEW something. don't feel embarrassed about it. just be careful that it doesn't become habitual or then it will be a disorder. the day when you can eat solids will come soon enough! :thumbup:

    Tanning bed

    i use coppertone sunless tanning gradual tan about 3 times a week and it works pretty well. it's not very streaky at all as long as you rub it in really good. :thumbup:
