South Beach Diet Bandsters???

[linadu 0]

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on in awhile, I moved over the past week so hopefully now that it's all done I can check in more often. I weighed myself this morning and I lost another pound for a total of 51#. I am noticing that I see more of a difference in how my clothes fit instead of the scale moving. It get's discouraging at times but hey this is the most that I have ever been able to lose and I haven't had any real complications so I'm not complaining. In following South Beach I like that I can choose to eat fruit and good carbs, I think for me that it's pretty easy to follow, I still want my chocolate, that's a mental craving instead of a hunger craving. Still haven't got myself to exercise, I keep telling myself that when the weather gets nicer. I know excuses - excuses.:heh:

I actually need to restart. I went off and didn't get back on. I eat mostly South Beach but have had croutons in my salad and some small quantities of rice. I gained 2 pounds and I am pretty sure it is Water, but if I don't show is off tomorrow, I am restarting for sure!!!

Now who is with me???

Happy Easter to everyone. Haven't been on for awhile, hope everyone is doing good. I have lost 6# in the last month so I hope this means I'm back to losing again. Well hope to hear from you soon and wondering how everone else is doing.

I go for my 2nd fill tomorrow and I really hope that makes a difference. I have been banded for over 3 months now but haven't lost anything the last 2 months. This fill better do something!

What is PB?

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

It's productive burp. It's when food gets stuck and basically you either throw up, or you burp and food comes with it. It's horrible when food gets stuck. It's painful. I don't even get why it happens. I thought the food was supposed to stay in "the pouch" and not go through the band, but sometimes my first bite I have something get stuck. I HATE it. It teaches you to really chew very well, and wait to you see how it goes down before taking the next bite.

Hi,

I am refocusing and using the South Beach principles to help me get back on track. I know it is essentially how I should be eating on a regular basis. I had gotten into the habit of eating "soft" foods as well as chips and crap that would go down easily. That would explain the 3 month plateau I am on. I was thinking of getting a fill, but I am going to give this a go instead. I want to see if Phase 1 will get me "detoxed" and refocused.

Anyone else out there want to do the same???

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I do basically eat the south beach way. The only carbs I have is a little bit of fruit. I am still not losing. I am going to get another fill.

Hi Denise,

I am sorry you are still not losing. That is frustrating. I am really hoping that this will be what jumpstarts my weightloss. I have not been eating very well the past few months and developed some terrible habits like my every other day potato chips and nightly peppermint patties.

I hope you find what works for you. Keep me posted!

i just started also, i've done south beach in the past and it helped with my cravings. i have also been on a 3 month plataue, and it's all because of my eating, soft food, junk food. i gain and lose the same 5# and it is so aggravating. does anyone remember how long it takes you to start losing? I can't remember. nilsa shrimp is low in carbs and so is chicken.< /p>
