Yeah I am thinking I am going to talk with Dr. Miranda while I am there about a diet plan. I am not sure what else to do. All I know is that when I was doing Jenny Craig I was down to 162 in 2 months. And I am eating less now and yes I do keep track of what I am eating. Also drinking plenty of water. I am so thrilled for everyone who is losing, MamaMichelle just hit her 70 pounds, but yet wonder why I cant have the same success?

Well it has been 3 months since my surgery and I am not losing any weight. In fact I even bought a bigger size in pants to be more comfortable, size 14. My scale broke so I am not sure exactly how much I weigh, but kind of scared to even weigh myself. I had a fill done on 7/4/08 go back for my 2nd fill on 8/16/08. I do have restriction, I don't eat half of what I use to. I put protein and vitamins into my diet which I have never done before. Started working out again 3-4 times a week. I guess I am destined to be FAT. Just I wish I didn't spend $8000 to find that out! Very discouraged and feel like a failure!

DOOLITTLE WROTE: Jenn emailed me with a August 11th date for the re-airing of the Oprah show. So,, write this date down, AUGUST 11th Is this still happening? Does anyone know?

Willi333 your kids are beautiful! I could look at animals all day long!

That is WONDERFUL! Congratulations :good3:

Is this for real? Oh my god

It's normal, mine came off like 5 days after.

We have the Wii console and love it even without the Wii Fit. The boxing is very active and gives you a good workout. We have been trying to find the Wii Fit and it's out of stock everywhere. But the Wii all together is totally worth the money!!

Every little bit counts! That is WONDERFUL!

You are looking good!

AND

This is AWESOME! As always full of great info MamaMichelle!! :lb13:

I had McDonalds last night for dinner, and only had 1 cheeseburger, could barely finish that was struggling and a some fries. Used to do the 2 hamburger meal with a large fry. So this is half, not bad. I should have got the grilled chicken sandwich like usual but was craving the cheese burger. Its hard when I am working all day long and then my daughter has soccer practice and we don't get done until 7:30pm and don't get home until 8:15. This is where all my weight gain came from eating out every night due to being so BUSY!! I hate it.

I am scheduled for a fill on Saturday 8/16/08. Like you I don't want to take days off of work.

I wont be flying in until that evening and having my fill on 8/16/08. Maybe I will see you at the Lucerna?

I have a 4cc band and my first fill they did 2cc. Which was great at first and it's weird how sometimes it's there and sometimes it not. Why do you think that is? I was reading other post today by MamaMichelle who was talking about eating Mexican food, and someone else replied that she PB'd eating at Olive Garden, but ate Mexican food that night and could eat just fine. Anyway, I have my 2nd fill appt scheduled for 8/16/08. Something has to work here because I am so FRUSTRATED!!!! :lb20:

These are the one's I am taking also and they are not bad, and it's easy.

I am feeling the same way Kibble. I feel like I was meant to be fat! Just another $8000 diet trick down the drain. I am not losing anything and had my surgery done on 5/7/08. I have lost a total of 9 pounds since my surgery and had my first fill on 7/4/08 had great restriction and sometimes still do, it just depends on what I am eating, but not losing a thing and have not gone down any in sizes.

I have this one and the Recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery, they are both great!!!

But...........the weight seems to be flying off you now! Congrats, you are a great inspiration! You look simply MARVELOUS! I have been looking at your weight since your last fill, and it seems every week pounds keep coming off.

Congratulations and Welcome!! The burping I am convinced comes with the lapband, because I burp all the time now. LOL! :good2: :lb9:

I wanted to let everyone know that I bought Pizza for my daughter last night. I started eating a piece & it did not taste good at all, and I put it back in the box. Had 1/4 cup of refried beans instead. Pizza is my favorite, love it to death, but since my fill, I guess it's just not for me any longer.

WOW that is wonderful, your face has thinned out so much. Good job!

I've noticed I have been a little moody also, but didn't think anything of it. Now my PMS is a whole other issue since being banded. It starts 2 weeks before my actual period, and it SUCKS.
