August Rush in bandland!

[dm5201 1]

I get my first fill on Oct. 4. I'm not exercising yet...with that said, I'm going to get started to jump start the scale, as I need to see the numbers go down. I have lost inches. I am not hungry most of the time. I feel obligated to eat at noon, but choose to have another Protein Shake or I will eat some Soup with crackers. I don't get hungry again until 4 or 5 pm. There are times that I don't even feel like drinking a shake at lunch, but I want to get something in. I envy those of you that have lost 30 lbs in a month. I'm 4'11" and I need to get this weight off! :smile2:

:thumbup:I just put on a pair of size 24 shorts, and they were to BIG!!!!! I can't believe it. I wasn't able to wear those shorts a few weeks ago because they were too small. I guess it is time to clean out the closet of all of the 28's, 30's, and 32's in it. :smile2:

I'm back on solids today and I'm not having any problems eating. I'm just trying to rely on my will power and stay below 1200 calories.

SO far it's 1 pm and I just had lunch. I'm doing good right now.

Congrats on all the success guys !!!! keep it up!!! wish me luck on my appt . monday night. I do not want surgery again!

It was my first. They added 1 cc and I had 3cc's from surgery so I'm at 4 now. I'm doing good though. I can still eat bread and really anything I want but I am satisfied and full eating less of it. I've even lost another pound. I know I'm not at my sweet spot but it definitely seems like my appetite is decreasing:)

I'm having this sensation too. I only have as my PA says 3.5-3.8c in my band but I am satisfied with much less food now.

Before my fill I could eat a whole sandwich made with a flatout wrap . I tried to do that last night and I had to take my ham out of the wrap it was going down really hard. the cold cuts I have are 50 cals for 3 slices so I tried to just wrap 2 0f those up this morning with a 1/2 slice of swiss cheese each. The 1st I shared with my dog and the second I just took a couple of bites and I was done. I'm down about 3 lbs since my fill.

We'll see how this goes. I'm wondering if my restriction will ease up soon which I'm expecting. No one hits their sweet spot so soon, right???!!!

I wonder the same thing. I wonder if this will last all the way to my next fill in 4 weeks.

Congrats to you Shadena!!! I am so happy for you. When I get to 180 I will be over the moon.

If you have that energy you will be 180 in no time maybe in the next 2 weeks or so.

I need a great energy supplement. Does anyone know of any?

I want to exercise harder but I don't have much energy at all.

Congratulations surgery buddy! I'm at 190 and holding! I so want that number to say 189, but I have to remember that it's not a race and I'm not competing with anyone but myself. I was so happy to see the 1 as the first number, I should just be pleased with the results so far!

I am due for my second fill tomorrow, I have to call and make an appointment, I can't believe it's already been 4 weeks since my first fill! I definitely need one...I had 3cc in my band already so they added .5 cc to it. For the past week, I have been able to eat a lot more food than I had previously, I even ate almost an entire Subway sandwich. I wasn't trying to eat it all, but I was thinking I would stop once I felt satisfied. I ate 3/4 of it! bread and all! Last night I went out to dinner with the family and brought half of my meal home and no dessert, not even a bite! I was pretty proud of myself...and the fact that I was wearing my size 14 jeans that I've never been able to get much of a leg into and now I can wear them and zipper with no problem! :crying:

Hope everyone is doing well. I am finding that I don't come on as much because sometimes I forget that I even have had the surgery and still need the support that goes with it. I know I'm not doing everything I can and should be logging on more, I'll work on that!
