  1. back on the band wagon!!!!!

  2. I hate writing but I hate dieting more!!! So I decided I need to get my unsuccessful approach to this band gig out in the open and beg for help!!! I was banded the end of Oct 09 in Tijuana. I was hopeful this would be a miracle to my addiction!!! BUT guess what..I have only lost about 20 lbs in almost 6 mo. I know most people would think that would be awesome BUT I expected more. Lately I have been thinking about my little weight loss and why I haven't succeeded as much as I should have. I have been tightened twice since having being banded and trust me ITS TIGHT!!! Ok so why haven't I lost the weight??? Well I am blaming it on my hormones or thyroid(hum) that's what I was blaming it on before...even after having all of the above checked out. None of these test came out abnormal. So what is the real problem I am asking myself, as I sit here this morning and my fingers are so swelled up that I can't get my ring off or that the jeans I wore to Tijuana the day of surgery still fit like a glove. Just to think about what I ate yesterday.....Breakfast 2 cups of coffee with creamer...no breakfast...tortilla chips(out of the bag) chocolate hershey kisses (1/2 bag) 3/4 Chik fa la fried chicken sandwich (chocked that one down) 1/2 bag of baked chips(large bag)...anyone see the hormone or thyroid problems in my diet?? This is just one day of eating and then I ask myself "Why am I not losing weight?" Today is going to be the day that I hold myself accountable for my eating actions!!! Maybe today will be the day that The Band will start being the TOOL I need it to be!!!!
  3. He sounds toxic to me!! Maybe you should walk in your own glory and not look to him for your motivation! If you loose the weight for him and he still feels the same after you have worked so hard to loose, then you will just gain it back because you haven't lost the weight for yourself! :lb4:
  4. Hey Margaret, I was banded on Oct 21st.....i have been on the liquid diet now for 17 days. Today I ate tuna salad and ham and cream cheese, I havent cheated since I started until today. I wasn't hungry until the past couple of days. Did you cheat at all?? I need to get my fill sooner than later!!!!! When you starting eating solids did you gain any weight or what did you eat?? I know i have a million questions, but not feeling very banding right now. Melissa
