  1. You look awesome! Congrats!
  2. Sorry but how do you get off the bandwagon if your losing? Just curious you had surgery why get off?
  3. I am the same way. I am hardly ever hungry. I now "eat to live" not live to eat! I cam honestly say since my surgery on November 6, I have only been hungry a few tines. I lost all my weight 75 lbs in 7 months. No exercise just eating right. I am amazed when people post on here. Amazed! I had the surgery to lose weight! Like everyone else. But you have to want it to win it!
  4. Due to also having the plication I am full after a cup of food. Stomach is sutured as if you had the sleeve. If I ever do start getting hungry I will ger fills. It's been since Nov 6,2012. I've lost from 215 to 136-137. I never regret it! In just need to exercise.
  5. The plication is the best way to go!
  6. My only thought from the beginning was, I had this surgery and by gosh it was going to work! I've never even thought about what I use to eat because that's how I got here. It's all about the want. I lost 78 lbs since nov 6. No fills!
  7. I've lost 78 lbs in 7 months no exercise at all! Not because I can't physically but have a very hectic life! I do need to exercise but you can do it. Good luck! Lap band with plication nov 6,2012,
  8. Just keep doing what you've been doing! Awesome!
  9. Plication working great for me. Surgery 11/6/12 down from 215 to 139. Never have I even felt like I needed a fill! Good luck!
  10. Congrats! It really has been the easiest diet I've ever done. Yes you do have to watch what you eat! Surgery date 11/6/12 as of today holding steady at 139lbs. Started at 215! No regrets!
  11. I was banded on November 6 2012 and was allowed to eat real food until Dec6! I was scared to death to eat beforevthen. Broth strained soup blundered soup. I felt like if I'm going to do this, then do it! Still don't want to mess with what doctor did for me! Lost 77 lbs without any regrets! Good luck!
  12. Looking great! Follow rules! Like that!
  13. You look awesome! Don't even look like same person. Congrats!
  14. Thank y'all! I would post pictures but I don't know how!
  15. The lap band with plication is the route I went. I originally wanted just the stomach stapled. But it all works depending on the person getting the surgery. It all works if you want it to! Best of luck!
  16. It's your story you have to tell. You'll do great if your ready to lose weight!
  17. Went to see my surgeon today. I have lost 74 lbs without a fill he asked me to do some advertisement for True Results! I'm 4 months from being 60 love my band with plication (which he said not doing them right now) but not a good picture taker! Lol! No regrets! So happy!
