well it now July and Iam down to 236 as of this morning and finally hitting the green zone there are some thing I just can not eat any more but honestly I don't miss them either this is so different than being on a diet but it has turned out to be just what I needed to finally get a grip on my weight and make it a part of my past not my ever present struggle I have not found this to be hard to do at all far easier than some diets I have tried maybe because its not a diet it a change in a...

Got a fill on Tuesday 2/21/12 and I weighted in at 263 and today on Friday my scale read 256 thats a 7 pound loss it feels great to finally feel the band working with me

Getting my first fill on friday I hope Iam so ready to get this thing working I want to feel the restriction and know I have to watch what I eat and how much

8 days post op and down 9 pounds so far and feeling good trying to get in all the water Iam suppose to be drinking thats not easy when you can't drink 30 mins before or for an hour afterwards Iam wondering if they really thought thats through

3 days post op and doing well will b e on full liquids this week and then mushies next week so Iam going to celebrate on sunday with a bit of the mashed potatoes Iam making for Christmas Dinner but I will be skipping the green beans and the rib eye steaks we will be having also feel good and have lost a couple pounds already so this is indeed a very Merry Christmas for me !!

Tomorrow morning at 6:30am I check into ambulatory surgery and around 7:30am I will be asleep and having my band put in Merry Christmas to me and I look forward to a Joyous New Year :-)

Calling today to find out what more I need to do to get ready for my surgery on Monday the 19th really hoping this happens on time I really want the two weeks of recovery time before I go back to work

Saw my new surgeon and WOW what a difference now Iam really excited about this and can not wait to get going on it he really made all the difference to me and I really feel like fate stepped in and dealt me a much better hand than I had and everything is going to be just fine :-)

Well had to change surgeons today Mine has decided to move away and cancelled all of his pending surgeries Iam glad I called his office to set up my pre op appointment otherwise I might not have found out about this till it was to late Iam so grateful my insurance has been so helpful in this I will not have to requalify I just need to get my new surgeon and get a surgery date set up and let them know who and where it will be done so keep a good thought for me that I get this done on the same...

Hey girl hows it going with you let us know how your doing and any tip you have to help us who are about to join you get through it easier would always be welcome Iam getting excited all over again to have this done and get on with my life as a much thinner me.

So good to hear from you Iam excited that things are going well for you and that just makes me look forward to mine even more I have a trip to the florida keys with my cousin Kim planned for this summer and I hope to make that trip as a good bit slimmer me it will be so nice to fit comfortably in a airplane seat.

This is a weird thing I have notice people post often on this site until they have surgery then they just seem to stop posting until they are 4 or 5 yrs post op and I find that really odd but have notice the people I have friended here just seem to disappear after they have surgery *sigh*

Doing well so far on the Dukan diet but as with all diets I do not know how long I can keep this up as you do have to without most of the things you enjoy eating but I do believe it is a good preperation for when Iam banded as Iam eating much smaller meals and very focused on my protein content and no salt and low fat low calorie diet so I should be in good shape for life on the band

Hoping all went well with you and your home resting and drinking lots of water and walking as much as you can hope to hear from you soon

a bunch of us at work have started on the Dukan Diet a rather strict version of the Adtkins Diet but I have to say Iam on day 5 of the attack phase and I have lost 7 pounds 5 more days to go then I start the cruise phase and start adding back things so will see how that goeswould be nice to be down about 30 pounds before I get my band and yes I still want and believe I need the band because losing weight has never really been my problem its keeping it off that I can not do and every time I ga...

Thanks for the friending BeckyJane I will be thinking of you on Monday and hoping all goes perfectly for you and your feeling great afterwards Best Wishes to you.

If you want to bulk up your pudding to be what you need it to be try adding a scoop of protein powder to it and stirring it in the body fortress chocolate whey protein powder is pretty good and if you put it in the chocolate pudding one scoop wit add 23 grams of protein for you

Delighted for you sounds like your on the right track and doing well keep it up and you will be in Onederland in no time Congrats and best wishes to you

Congrats on getting your date I hope it all goes well for you and you and your ankle are both on the mend real soon and feeling thinner every day

Had my daughter find this photo I knew she had taken last spring when they were here because it was when I saw this photo I knew I really had to get serious about my weight I have lost weight since then thank goodness and Iam hoping to lose some more before I get to my banding date in Dec. and then the reallly hard work will begin I hate that it has to be so far away from when I wanted it but family came first and things had to be dealt with and now its all settled and taken care of I wish I ...

Iam so glad your doing well I can not wait for it to be my turn Iam going to be singing "All I want for Christmas is my Lapband done"!

Family situation arose and had to be taken care of before I could go forward with this surgery things are working out well and I expect to be ready to go Dec 20th and will have 2 weeks to recover as I will be on Christmas break for two weeks at that time.

Surgery moved to Dec 20th

3 days down and doing well did not cheat once so far even with the brownies and cinnamon rolls and candy left all around my woprkplace I didn't even taste any of it wondering what to do now my son needs to move back home to finish taking some classes at the college in order to get a job and I can not afford to keep him in an apartment pay for his schooling and feed him when he has no job he has been looking for a job for months but I guess it is the same all over so he is coming home to ...
