For all of my Christian Family - STOP ... NO guilt over getting or wanting a Lapband!
YolandaSready posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
For some reason we who are believers tend to have a habit of continually beating ourselves up over everything. I am taking a moment to encourage each and every one of you to stop, pray, and open up to our Heavenly Father in prayer. Share with Him your discouragements over your weight, and your desires to live a more productive life. He already knows anyway... He just wants us to walk in the cool of the day with Him sharing all of ourselves unto Him. Remember the advances in Medical technology are NOT solely for those who do not believe in God, they are for us too. We are His children, and God wants us to seek Him for everything that He may be glorified in all areas of our lives. Do not allow the enemy to stagnate you in guilt because of your desire and decision to get a lapband. Instead use this as another pillar and testimony to the Goodness of God! How? Well, I am glad that you asked... Study daily, pray continually, ask God to allow your lapband to help you become heathier, and look for ways to use even this part of life's journey as a opportunity to share the Gospel of Christ Jesus! Luke 11 9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Be encouraged! Forever His! Yolanda- 13 replies

Hello everyone! It has been a while!

So I am telling each of you in oder that you do not make the same mistakes I did since it impacts our weight lost! When and if you feel like the COOKIE MONSTER like ...

Long time - so for the last 2 weeks I felt like I hit a plateau... I lost only 4 lbs since last weight in but I know that I did not eat as well as I should have - I incorporated juices which I should not have, went on vacation with my parents last week and indeed felt VERY hungry my last week before my fill which was yesterday; (6.4cc now) any way, I did horrible, ate mash potatoes, and well- you get the picture.... All and all I only lost 4 lbs between now and last fill so I felt really guilty for my own errs - this month I plan on stepping it up! I would like to at least lose 2 lbs a week instead of 1 so I must work with my band

True Results in Houston .. Adjustment
YolandaSready replied to bashy611's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also go to True Results Houston - yes, they are always busy so try to see if they will refer you to Dr. Hollister in the interium, I know it only takes 10 min and his office is further but it is worth it to keep you on track. They told me he and Dr. Reilly are supporting one another as well. I agree set yourself appointments 3 months out and set reminders to be safe. if you do not want to go to Doc Hollister then you must call every day...Go On be a stalker I would too for my fill -
Bandster Hell and Depression!
YolandaSready replied to NY Bandster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Please do not get depressed- remember why you have done it, right now I am only getting 1 cc in at a time too but 4 weeks apart. I sometimes still fill hungry more than I think I should but I grab water or 1 of my fat free jello. I am 61 days post surgery and I too wish that I had more restriction faster but I know the process will be slow just as my weight gain was slow. I hope that I have encouraged you somewhat. Yolanda -
Hello out there - How's every one doing? I am ok - had 2nd fill - only lost 5 lbs between that and 1st fill based on their scale but not discouraged. instead I am stepping it up on the excercise some.
