I would like to thank everyone for their feedback, this journey has not been an easy one, everyday is still a struggle with food but i am so happy that i had lapband surgery, my doctor seems to be pleased with my progress so therefore that makes me happy, who knows maybe months or a year from now i will be at my goal weight of 165, i wish everyone the best on their journeys as well

Hey Moon, thanks for responding, wish you the best of luck as well

hi everyone, i just dont understand how it is that i can still be able to eat whatever when alot of others can't, i had lapband w/ plication on 7-25-11, i have 6.25cc in my band, i am still able to eat bread (i only eat it occasionally), salads, and chicken with no problems, i have some friends who are having trouble keeping anything down with less cc's in their band, is there something wrong with me, should i be having trouble with these things, i would love to hear some feedback, thanks

So Wed July 25th was my 1yr bandiversary, I may not be where I want to be but I am alot closer to it, I will continue to work hard everyday to reach my goal, I am happy with the 40lbs that I have shed, now just wanting to shed about another 40lbs, lapband surgery was the best life changing decision that I have ever made, I owe a big thanks to my support system~my fiance', parents, family members, friends, coworkers, my surgeon and their staff, and last but not least the people on this forum~Thank you all!!!

thanks ladies, i definitely wont do that again, it is very hard on the mental health, i knew better but did it anyways, when i first started on this journey the weight seemed to drop so easy but now after losing 40lbs i am at a stopping point & have been for several months, i have 5.75cc in my band, i have 40lbs left to loose coming up on my 1yr bandiversary, i just want to hit goal

i weighed myself this evening just to see my progress bc i have been working out so hard and eating good but boy ol boy did i get a rude awaken, such a big disappointment (5lbs wt gain), hoping some of that is from the bloatness of my TOM, i am so stupid for doing that

thank you NC Mama

for the past few months, I have been hovering around 200-205, I did get to see the scale go below 200 for one day, i am just alil sad right now, when the scale stops moving so does my motivation, i workout at curves 3x a week, i stay within my 1000-1200 calorie, what am i doing wrong, just need some advice

thanks everyone for your responses, i took it and i did fine with it

i was just prescribed a rx to help with lower back pain and it's a capsule, just alil nervous on taken it, havent taken a capsule since before sx, i am ok with taking non capsules, would love to read about others experience, thanks, btw i am 8mons out

thank you all for your sweet messages, i wish everyone great success on their journey as well

thanks ya'll

YAY, i will be 8mons preop on 3-25-12, preop weight 240lbs, weighed this morning and it said 199.8, i know its very close to 200lbs but i have finally reached ONDERLAND so i'm running with it, best feeling ever, i want to lose 40 more, just wanted to share, thanks for reading

have you ever had one of those days where you feel like you have to eat everything insight, if only the band could magically change the way we crave and think about food, wouldnt that be awesome, needless to say today has not been a good day
