hi everyone I was banded 22-02-08 i have lost 11 kgs which is really great but I have been sitting on 79kg since the 02/02/08 and I eat really healthy and I go to curves 5 times aweek I had my first fill on 17-04-08 and had 4cc put in and the only difference i feel is that i am a bit tight in the mornings and thats it. I go for my second fill on the 15-05-08 and the doctor will put 1cc in. Need some advise on how to get the weight moving again.

I dont count calories, i dont eat bread, white potatoes, Pasta, or rice.

i eat a lot of fish, tuna for lunch. I also eat a lot of veges, dont get me wrong Im no angel I have eaten things that Im not supposed to eat but most of the time Im pretty good. i just feel that since by first fill I can eat a lot more. good news i went to curves and i got measured I have lost 10 cm off my body mainly from the upper body and 1% of body fat, so I was please with that.

Thought I'd try to get some movement going... how's everyone doing since band month? I can't believe that so much time has gone by!! It feels like just yesterday I was covering my stomach with a pillow when I laughed... lol. :tt1: Seriously though, I feel like I'm finally starting to "get it" emotionally and realize my life can revolve around things other than food.

How is everyone else doing???

Hey JDsmommy! I had this same problem and when I went to my doctor I told him when I get home before I have dinner I'm hungry..hungry enough to cheat and eat chips and salsa, all night long or until my meal is ready!!:crying: So he suggested we put a bit more saline in me and also to drink a Protein Drink when I do feel those hunger pangs or just feel like gorging myself. :thumbup: He said the Protein will help me feel full until my dinner. Now I am doing a whole lot better!:drool: Maybe if you tell your doc that you sit and eat and don't even really feel hunger in the evenings he can suggest something along those lines??:thumbup: Lets us know how you're doing!!:thumbup:

Thanks..my problem is not before dinner, it's after dinner. I've already eaten and I'm clearly not hungry..I just eat. Just like before the surgery, nothing stops me from eating. As long as I can get it down, I eat it!

OH!:lol: Maybe if you just drink a Protein Shake about an hour after you eat it will help?? I usually don't get that feeling until maybe 3 hours after I eat and I will drink Water or a bit of cheese to get me over that pang~?? Might need to ask your doc or your nutritionist what you can do?? If I start eating I can't keep going or I'll start pbing..and I hate that!! We can see what the other bandsters do to overcome this..:lol:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
