ValleyGirl Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Way to go Sarah! I remember how much of a hard time you had eating in the beginning. Can you eat most foods now and how much? That seems to be a really quick weight-loss! I'm curious what you are eating and how much is in your band now since we had our surgery a day apart. I have 2.4 cc and I'm stalled at 40 pounds down so I'm going to schedule my third fill soon. Happy bday! Sabrina:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahrnrx Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks guys! Valleygirl- I have 1.6cc in my 4cc band. I think I have pretty good restriction since I got my second fill. This is what I am taking in: Breakfast- Equate protein shake (I am pretty tight in the am) Lunch- Salad and fruit Dinner- Sensible dinner Unfortunately, I am still not drinking the amt of water that I should be. I think what is helping me the most is the Body Bugg. I love being able to see how many calories I am burning. It makes me get up and move more. CindyLou- I am certain, you too will reach your goal. Also, Happy early Birthday! My next goal is hitting 175. My husband says when I reach that, he's sending me to Europe! Paris and Rome.... here I come!

ValleyGirl Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Is that all you eat every single day? I guess I need to get more serious. I have no real food plan in place because I don't want to feel like I'm on a "diet" but I guess the sad truth is that I am on a diet- for the rest of my life. I'm also curious if you think you would have had the same results eating that meal plan without the band? I read posts from you and others saying how you "love your band" and I"m so not there- but I want to be. I'm not sure where the band is making a difference. Just like before, when I eat crap, I gain weight and when I eat healthy, I lose weight. I suppose it keeps me full longer but, truthfully, half the time I eat it is not because I'm hungry it is just because it is there. I think instead of lap-band surgery, I should have had a lobotomy, lol! Sabrina:) Thanks guys!Valleygirl- I have 1.6cc in my 4cc band.

But I guess I dont think of it as dieting because I dont get that hungry. I am sure I would have gotten results eating this way without the band. BUT... I wouldnt be able to just eat these without the band. I would eat a whole lot more. My problem seems to be that when the foods there, I still feel like I need to finish it. I still havent mastered stopping because im full. I am still working on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doinitagann Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Sarah, I remember meeting you last month and you told me how this was your goal. I am soooo super excited for you. I can't help but be so jealous though. My second fill has not done anything for me. I have not lost an ounce since we had our second fill. I wish all the best for you and I am sure you will be going to Europe soon. You are on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
