I don't drink everyday, but I like my cocktail hour (s)! I drink vodka with Arizona diet green tea and a float of diet cranberry (YUM YUM)! I calculate every drink into my journal. So far I have not had any ill effects, dropping a steady 10 pounds per month, and eating around 1200 -1600 cal. per day (including when I have cocktails)!

lmfao...you bad boy binger!!!!!

I am 3 months out, and have had two small fills (very small),and I eat anywhere from 1200 all the way up to 1600. I walk 30 minutes a day, and have averaged 10 pounds per month! I count calories, I journal, writing everything down! If I exercise, how long, when I eat, etc. Everyone says that you don't want to loose too fast or else your skin will be saggy:wink:!

Very interesting!

So far it has been 4 weeks between fills.

Well put phranp something sounds fishy here! Eating too much ice cream and candy maybe? Bet your not eating 1200 cal. a day and exercising 30 min a day 5 days a week! If so, you would be seeing results.

Nicole, I am exactly where you are! I was banded Aug.3, and have lost 34 pounds by sheer will. Still that is 10 pounds a month, and you really don't want to loose more than that or your skin will be wrinkly and loose! I also have to wait 23 days to get my next fill, and those are going to be really long days. I guess we both kinda have to slow down and take it one day at a time ( I know really corny, but it's true)! I did check out your blog and got a good chuckle about your bad day! Been there done that! Well all for now! ~Kelly~:thumbup:

lmfao.......been there!lol

I tried to have one before my second fill and ended up yaking it up! And that was with only one small fill. I believe it is those pesky buns (that are loaded with bad carbs!)!

I am 100% right where you are......23 days to my 3rd fill, I am praying I get that restriction everyone talks about that "wowzers" feeling! I can surely eat 2 cups.....and still get hungry 2 hours after eating..food is still on my mind all the time (bummer). But, I am walking and journaling everyday hopefully that will get me through!

Instead of candy......why not try a weightwatchers icecream! They are only 150 calories and totally curb that chocolate urge! BOH YAH:wink::thumbup:

I want to know why when I scrolled down this page there was an add for a giant hamburger! Who does this kind of thing? How very incensitive!:thumbup:

If you go to a good qualified lap band surgeon, they usually have a therapist who is knowledgeable about this specific procedure! Besides, it is You who are living in your body and know if you are unhappy with Your body. At my highest weight I was 262, I was miserable! I couldn't care less if some therapist told me I shouldn't do this! I couldn't care less what anyone thought.......I wanted this! NO-one could have talked me out of it! Just do some more research yourself! And I hate to say it, but can the therapist! Peace out ~Kelly~:thumbup:

lol I have never not been able to guzzle.....what does sip mean? lol

congradulations Joycie!

My Dr. is a litlle "McDreamy";)

After waiting for an hour in the waiting room, then waiting another 40 minutes for my Dr. to come in,.......he came in and asked how I was doing, I said hungry, but I guess fine.. He said do you want a poke?(aka more fluid) he left to go get the stuff, then in walk three student Dr.s and all I could think of was "Grey's Anatomy" they fit the bill. I said, well what if I don't want you here, they said "well, we can leave at any time!" Of course I said "no", It's for school! So then the Dr. comes in and this time he has a 3 inch needle! OMG! Of course I'm tough! I see him poke that 3 inch needle in me (mind you I have a very high tolerance for pain) and he begins telling the students about what he is doing. Then he lifts the seat up and I say "are you going to give me your 2 second poke" ha ha......then...he sticks the needle in and the student Dr. gives me a cup of water and he says "drink"! So I drink, and as I'm drinking he is pushing in and pulling out the fluid depending on how the water is going down. I forgot the funniest part, where he tells me to sit up and pretend like I'm farting (ha-ha) so the port would rise up to the surface! Anyway it ended up he put one cc in and I can feel it..got happy on one can of soup (thank the lord)! So when I go out to get in my car I had left the lights on because to get there is about 45 miles of driving with your lights on and had a dead battery. Well had to call triple A get them to come out, in the mean time it's like 95f degrees in the sun....WOW that was hot. What a day, anyway goodnight all ! HAPPY with my second fill.....no matter how "grey's anatomy" it felt like! ~Kelly~:smile2:

btrieger we'll have to agree to agree;)
