Recommended Posts

hello all, wow, I feel it was just yesterday I was pushing the July talk, unfortunately I was away for most of that month, sorry for the lack of talk from this end, I was on my sisters computer and didn't want her knowing what was happening my end, yes call that mad perhaps.

anyway I am stalking you all, going to look on the weight loss thread and track you all down so write soon,

I am good in this part of the world, had another fill, only only liquids againl so will have to check this fill isn't too aggresive for me

Waiting to hear from you all

I will keep bumping if I dont' hear from you

Love Amourette!!!!:confused:

Hi everybody,

I still have no fill any my weightloss is so slow:-) but I started going to the gym again...couldnt do that due to terrible weather over 105F degrees.Now I started losing again.Im going to see my parents today and Im scared...why? becasue I have some weird food behaviour when Im at home.I keep overeating )yes even with the band) when Im home and I just cant stop it.Maybe its because my mom was always the one who was telling me how fat,ugly I was.Now she doesnt do that anymore but Im stuck with the food obsession when Im home:-)

First off: Eficka!!!!!!! You are HOT!!!! LOL.....really though.....you are truly very beautiful....hairdresser or no hairdresser!!!

That being said...

*waves* hey all April Banditos!!!!

I'm still chuggin' along...hoping my fill (25 Aug) will give me more restriction and help me along a bit. I am eating less but not sure if it is due to a physical restriction or a mental block telling me "must stop now!". But it is tough wo the right restriction.

I am exercising a LOT (not a new thing for me). I eat healthy "most" of the time.....the odd chip/cheezie still finds its way to me (my challenge is not eat them in Aug).

Hope all is well with all the other April Banditos!!!!

Hello fellow April bandsters --

It seems I have become a member of the slow losers club. Only 2 pounds since July 11. I go back in for fill #3 in a week. Hopefully, I will get where I need to be in regards to restriction. Only time will tell. And I am letting people take my picture without standing behind something.

So....best wishes to everyone. Keep on losing.

Well thank goodness I found ya'll this month. Maybe I was just to busy in July. I dunno what happened???!!! LOL I have missed ya'll. I'm doing very well I have lost 51 pounds. :clap2: I have had 2 fills. And this last one must be working or I must be eating to fast. I'm not sure which. I think maybe both. I work in a retail grocery store and all my customers are starting to notice!!!! I really want some good looking rich man to notice.LOL:sleep And can someone tell me what to take for my hair falling out :) I have long really really thick hair or should I say I HAD really really thick hair I dunno what happened. Glad I found ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!! Eficka you look AWESOME!!!!!!!

I've had three fills. But despite several PB events -- which remind me that I have some restriction -- I am STILL HUNGRY! The band is definitely working for me in some capacity, because my weight loss has been substantial. But I am not at all satisfied with eating minuscule portions, and that's where I had expected a lot of help from the band. I'm the one exercising Portion Control. So what's the band doing?

Please tell me somebody can see a difference!!!!! I don't think I can.

The first pic is from Feb before surgery and the second is from July exactly 3 months out.

Er...I haven't lost as much as I thought I would but I have had a work and home life that has gone about 90 miles an hour since I got my band. I think I'm making better choices, still working out, not as hard as I should, but I'm thinking I might need another fill. I'm not really sure. I'm going to try some more behavior improvments. But I'm still here!!! Good to hear from you guys! Eficka, you are soooo cute!!! I love your haircut, but I thought your avatar was super cute before. You guys look and sound like you're doing well...we can do this!!!

Hi all, it's sunday here in NZ!!! I just got back from work and just sitting here doing a lot of thinking. I suspect I maybe overfilled, I thought this sounded like a blessing, but I can only get liquids down, not solids and it has been 9 days, does anyone agree? I am going to try some hummous and refried Beans right now, but I am afraid it might come back up, maybe I should ring the doctor tomorrow, I just don't want to lose any fill at the same time, what do you all think?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
