Has anyone tried the 5 day pouch test. I'm on my second day and so far so good. If someone tried it before what did you think of the test.

lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets!

Love the New Me, It's good to know that I'm not the only one. Thanks for the imput.

I have lost 100 lbs in 7 months. The problem is I can't lose no more. It's been a month or so and I can't get passed the 100 lbs. How long does a Plateau last. I'm still doing the same thing as I was when I was losing. I even increased my walking and added some free weights. Anybody with the same issue. Thanks in advanced

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

These are some low carb foods and high in protein. Greek yogurt, ground turkey, chicken, beans, egg whites, tuna, and protein shakes

I have had that problem lately. Ever since I lost 100lbs. I gain 1 or 2 lbs and them I lose them. I cant seems to break the 100lbs mark. It gets frustrating but hopefully i could break it. Good luck

How you feeling today?

Glad your surgery went well. I think its just nausea, the Dr should of given you some meds.

Good Luck!

The reason they ask to lose the weight is for your liver to shrink and its easier to put the band on.

There ia a support group in Thousand Oaks, that meets once a months

I think its normal to be worried, you should just relax and think positive. Think about your new life that is about to begin. You'll be fine! Good Luck!

Good Luck and everything is going to be fine. Congrats to a new start

frans, sometimes your insurance covers fills. I have blue cross and they cover them.

I'm really happy with my band. I've lost 100lbs in 7 1/2 months and still going. One thing you have to keep in mind it's just a tool, you have to do your part too. Good luck

That is really cool of him! Congrats and keep it up!

I have always been a big person. I tried so many diets as well just to gain the weight back. I had the lap band 7 months ago and I'm now down 100lbs. It's alot easier with the band as long as you know how to use the tool (band).

Kristy hopefully everything get better. Just stay positive

“At some point in life you have to face your fears, and head on even though you can’t be sure of the outcome. A great deal of people will never reach their dreams and it won’t have anything to do with their ability or skill set. They won’t reach their dreams because they were too afraid to try.” ~Eric Thomas~

I had a hernia, but the Dr took care of it when he did the surgery. Hope you get it fixed soon. Good luck with the weightloss and on your journey!

Thats a big accomplishment! Keep it up and soon you'll be at 100.

Hope everything came out fine during your surgery. I was scared at first too, but then I thought of my long term goal.
