Lap Band how many calories are you on?
Lap Band People how many calories are you on? How far out are you from surgery? What is the long term calorie intake for you after you are out a few years? I had a rough year last year and went back into bad eating habits, I wasn't anything near my goal. I am still out like 60 pounds before I hit my goal weight. Since I…

How do I get over my fear of Sugar?
Oh gosh where do I begin? I cut out sugar in my life for a year, replaced it with splenda, still ate fruit and stuff and sometimes ate some no added sugar products like 40 calorie fudge pops, but around the holidays I lost control... I gained back 30 pounds or so.... I went ballistic! I finally said ok, I'm going to try…

Haven't had a fill for a year and half...
I have not had a fill for a year and a half... I just read somewhere that after your first year you may need 1 to 2 fills per year. Is this true? I feel like I need a fill, does the fluid go away or something after a while?

IF I WERE A SCIENTIST
Ok, we all have our weaknesses... So I had this strange thought last night while trying to go to sleep... I thought it would be fun to see what you all would make if you were a scientist. Something that would help you as an individual. No pill that would just eat fat either ;) or suppress your appetite. Lets get…

Marrying someone who also has a eating disorder.
It has been really hard. When I was alone It was so much easier. I had control of what was in my house, I didn't have to worry about being tempted by anything. My system worked for me. I was satisfied and happy. Now I am married, my husband wasn't overweight when we met. But he recently said to me, that he has had an…

Carb Cycling
I did some reading about this and learned that this is suppose to help with weight loss... I guess I am a little confused about it because it is telling me to consume over 100 carbs a day on low carb days, so how can this be considered low carb? I don't go into ketosis unless I stay under 60 carbs or so a day.. I know this…

Overcoming Vitamin Deficiency's
I recently found out I was b-12 deficient, started taking shots, It went up to the 300's now, still taking shots and get tested again next month. During this time I switched my family Dr and she noticed I was super low in D 3 years ago and no one ever followed up with me, so I retested coming in at only a 12.. So am taking…

Take Your Vitamins!!!
I just wanted to share a recent experience with all of you. I had lap band surgery in June 2011. They make you sign a paper that you will take your B complex and multivitamin for the rest of your life... Being as stubborn as I am, I thought it pertained more to those who actually had problems with absorption surgeries. So…

Oh yeah that was me..
In 2011 .... I could not even grab my waist.. Oh did I even have one? lol... I'm still going strong this New Year and hope you all are as well! :smile:

Spitting out my food
I eat healthy and really try to stay away from my Devil.. Sweets.. But sometimes I can help it...But If I were to eat them I could not stop at just one.. I would have to eat more and more... Have any of you ever put something in your mouth that was bad and just chewed on it for a while when you get a craving soooooooooo…
-
Boooo me if you want to!!
I am so sick of people assuming and writing nasty blogs about people who eat under 1200 calories a day.. You don't know for 1.. Any underlying issue or reason for this.. Many people here are preparing for weight loss surgery, or have had it and are on restricted diets below 1200 calories because their Dr's have them on…

RUNNING INTO PEOPLE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME
I finally got to have a moment today, when I was at the Library... I ran into my old job coach whom I worked with for 2 years 2 times a week until Feb of 2011. I was so excited to see her sitting at the table across from me, so I started waving excitingly "HI SONIA HOW ARE YOU DOING" She looked at me confused and said she…

LOW CARB PEOPLE HELP PLEASE :)
Ok, so I have been low carbing I guess and didn't realize it really until I was doing some reading... I was doing it pretty effortlessly. And as you can see, I have lost weight...I took a Ketone test today just to confirm, and yes I am in Ketosis. Soooo... If I am eating no more than 50 carbs a day, how much ratio should…
-
So I have been on ketogenic diet????
I was just reading anything under 100 carbs a day will put you into some sort of ketosis because of baseline requirement for brain's glucose is like in the 120's I thinkkkk. Don't quote me on that.. I have just started reading about this... Anyway I had a off weekend and ate a lot more carbs than I have been, and noticed I…
