For me skydive

I am a UPS driver I took a week and a half off working days I made sure to come back on a Thursday so I work two days and was off for another two , if you have a really physical job then at least take two weekends off and a week , even after the time off I was still sore to touch that area for a couple of weeks

I remember when some of my friends came and stay with us over the weekend they where like wow you lost a lot of weight over the next couple days they where saying how the hell you lose so much all you do is eat what's funny they didn't relized that I never finished a plate they where just focus on how many times I ate

It does take a while for your self image to catch up , you spent so many years looking at a fat person everyday now it gone your brain has to get used to the new image what help me a lot is pictures I took of myself and now able to compare the old and new , so if you got pictures get them out take some new ones and just compare them and also get new clothes if you are still wearing the old ones it doesn't help , I spent a lot of money on in between clothes but it help me get use to my new body before surgey in january I went from 263 lbs , size 44 waist , 2xl shirt to 197 lbs size 34 waist , med to lrg shirt and in the last month I am getting used to the new me

Don't beat yourself up just back on track the next day , I do a cheat weekend every three day weekend I will anything I want for that weekend and Monday I go back like it never happen , I found out it does help me to keep the craving down a lot the funny part I plan all this stuff to eat that weekend and never end up eating a quarter of it

This is one of the nicest forums I am part of because of lap band , if you came on here asking for help or ideas what's happening to you then you world get a great response for the people here , you are asking when can I eat whole foods again , you are complaining about doing a liquid diet for 12 days and already pushing to eat mushies and solids , most of the people here had to do a liquid for 2weeks pre op and 2 weeks for post op , and here you are pushing to eat solids already after surgury , you can't even wait till you heal to start eating like you used to before the band , if I came off mean then well I did a good job

Why we all start this journey together for the most from the beginning , before lap band to getting the band and in some cases the band coming out , in your case you had the band since 2006 and you come on here asking how soon can I eat after taking the band out , I don't care when you can eat again or how much , we don't know your history or nothing to why your band was removed to me it just seems like you are just slamming the band , if you didn't need anybody's help on here since you got the band then why do you need it now after you took the band out

When I see people eat like that I just look away and say that was me before and this is me now and I will never go back to that and keep on eating

I live in wildomar , I was banded in january What you want to know or need help with

Yeah bye bye , you had your band since 2006 and this is your first post here and about the band being remove , you will figure out when you can eat so figure it out

Stupid double post

I drink so much soda still , if we go out I drink one , if people give me a can I drink it , do I drink as much as before no , now like maybe one or two cans , before 6 or seven easy

Which one would you recommend the most

Any guys with first hand experience with some , I been looking into them , but I don't want to go out and spend 40 bucks , just to find out it doesn't work

I feel you , I was 200.6 last week , now I am 200.2 , what a tease , I just want to see 199
