Sword swallower! I don't think that would work at all with the Lap-Band!
*laughs*

Let me guess, I bet you are trying to get under 200 lbs. That happened to me. It took me 8 weeks to go from 202 to 199. Soooo speaking from experience I would just relax for few days no exercise and don't worry about food. Your body will "get confused" and you all of a sudden drop 4 or 5 lbs, when you kick it back into shape. Good luck. This is a long journey not a quick trip. The main thing is you will get there eventually. (Banded 8/12/06)

Actually I wasn't pointing fingers. Just stating facts. If you have been trying for four years and can't figure it out then I would say ignorance is something you have a handle on..... not me. If you are doing what you are supposed to and doing everything perfect then you wouldn't have a problem. You can lie to yourself and stay on the track you are on or get real. Either way don't blame me for stating the obvious.

I was one month post op & got pregnant from that one time.
I had fertility issues in the past so that was a surprise.
Do it when you are ready but remember to use protection. Lol

I would sleep on it before posting on Fb any further.

I thought I'd make myself a list of all the things I won't miss after I get this band and get myself looking good.
1. Having to stretch my shirts out once I put them on to make them more comfortable.
2. Not getting on a plane for fear that I will need an extender or worse yet have an airline employee tell me I need to buy 2 seats.
3. Buying something off the rack and assume it fits, then getting home and finding out its too tight!
4. Feeling self conscious of people looking at my grocery cart when shopping.
5. Having men look the other way, or not looking at me in the eye for fear that they will somehow unknowingly attract the fat girl. Sorry dudes, I'm married, you can look me in the eye now!

I am also being banded on June 28th, what are you ladies having to do the day before the surgery? Im still on Optifast, just cant eat anything after midnight the night before. Im very excited!
