Joleen replied to Joleen's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I would say if your body keeps changing wait. Congrats! I'm at a long stand still. This should help. We shall see! -
I'm getting my neck lipo with my TT. My plastic surgeon said I won't need a whole neck lift but I have lots of loose skin. I'm going to post before n after picks. I'm scheduled in 2. Weeks

Abdminoplasty, breast lift, chin, lipo on 7/25
Joleen posted a topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I am so excited to be less then 2 weeks away from my surgery". I have lost 65lbs. I'm not at my goal yet but even though I eat great and exercise 5 days a week I cannot lose anymore. My plastic surgeon feels it will help to get all the excess skin off. I only have to lose 30 more this will put me close to my goal! I will post before and after pics -

Whats The Workout To Loose Weight Faster?
Joleen replied to s0utherndivadoll's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I just recently switched up my workout! I have been at a plateau for months now! I joined curves, and do zumba! I am noticing the scale move again. Most important is measuring. I lost 8.5 inches last month!! Sometimes I think the scale has to catch up, since we are building muscle! My husband does P90x and that is suppose to be incredible! He is in shape, but after his workout he sweats like crazy! If you like tapes check out P90X or insanity, I want to, but I am just not strong enough to do them yet! -

I think after a year I am finally at my restriction!!! I got a fill last Monday and I have to be very very careful with chicken! I also cannot eat raw carrots or rice!!! I love sushi, but can only eat the rice if I chew chew chew it!!!! My hubby cooks chicken and he shreds it between two forks so I can eat it that way!!! I am finally realizing what it means to take your time with eating and how important it is to feel this restriction thing!!! I am so HAPPY, I FINALLY have the restriction, it has been a LONG year!!!

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to see how everyone is doing after a year!!! It has been a year of highs and lows for me! I know now that exercise has to be a daily part of my life because I have the slowest metabolism in the world. I also realized that I cannot lose if I drink any alcohol!!! I maintained my weight loss when I exercised but it seemed when the weekends came I couldn't loose!!! DUH!!! Well since I cut that out and changed my exercise a little (I stopped the YMCA and joined curves and do zumba) I am losing again! It's slow but I am doing it! I hope everyone else is doing well, good luck!

Hypo-Thyroid Bandsters
Joleen replied to MelBanded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks so much for starting this thread!!! I too have hypothyroidism and I take synthyroid 100mcg daily. I have been diagnosed for 6 years and when I went into the hospital with a TSH of 60! It has not been easy!! I also got banded in March my date was the 28th, 2011 and the weight is coming of so slow! I thought it would have come off faster, but it hasn't! I do the same thing you do, exercise eat right etc!! I did slow down on exercise over the holidays and put back on 4 lbs!!!! I have gone from a size 18 to a size 12 so I am looking forward to 2012 and losing a few more sizes with lots of hard work!!! -

OMG, I was also in a car accident almost one month to the day after my surgery! I was under lots of stress and had nothing in my band but it was extremely tight. My primary care physician gave me .25mg of xanax and it really relaxed me, I didn't realize it until much later but I could eat anything!!!! I recently came under more stress and my band became super tight again, now I meditate and it does help!!! Good luck, Joleen

I am newly banded, and have never experienced slippage but I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and I was concerned with slippage so my doctor told me what to look out for. He didn't mention any "popping" sensation. I do get that sometimes but think it's gas. He said the symptoms are nausea, and vomiting primarily! You are smart to call them anyway!!! Good luck!

Congrats, on losing 60 lbs. so far!!! I noticed you were banded in Sept. I was banded in March 11 and I just started exercising 3 weeks ago (elliptical and weights), I am still only losing 1 lb a week, and I never eat over 1200 cal a day. Did you notice the weight coming off faster at some point. I feel I am at my sweet spot all ready!!! Thanks, Joleen
