hopeful2 be slim

you can convince your family that you want this surgery to be healthy.

I too have too much muscle pain in my legs....take a lot of pain killers...it is so depressing.

hey..thats gr8!!! think thin....and it will soon be a habit!!

thanks for the guidance.... i was losing confidence...and putting on weight...now i am mentally stronger..

wonderful...we all are sailing in the same boat....being healthy is so very important. I like your style of writing!!!

very good points....green tea?? never thought of it.. yes intention and change go to gether. all the best!!

very good. but what is the connection between BMR and calaries..how do you calculate.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR MOTIVATING ME.... I AM SURE I WILL NOW LOOSE WEIGHT.

hi..lipo will not treat arthritis...but i have huge thighs..and that weight was bad for my knees....even if i go for a knee transplant...that weight will be a problem....now hopefully with lighter legs i will walk better. i live in india....we dont have warm pools and no pools for elderly or disabled...

the band has stopped working.... and cant walk much due to arthritis...so i have done liposuction...on thighs and hips.. now once I am recovered hopefully i will walk better and band will also work. does anyone have a similar story..

thanks all for your encouragement. I have good restriction cant eat much....but I am not exercising and that s my problem.....and I am having only 20 25 gms of protien maximim....

why do we put on weight so easily after the band surgery?? If I eat protiens I am fine...but if I have normal food...uff...i have put on 1 kg in a day...so frustrating... and in India we dont have many options for protiens...we dont get all the non veg varieites that you get in other countries... and one cant go on eating cheese and pulses....I am very much depressed.

thanks so much...will surely try that..u have lost an amzing amt of weight..wow...real will power...

All the best!!!Your story is wonderful!!!I wish you luck in your weightloss!!
