I learned the hard way that I could no longer eat scrambled eggs. Boiled eggs are ok

@ I started at 191, I only lost about one pound a week, but I preferred it to come off slowly, chances are better for it to stay off.....trust me I am at a point now that I don't want to lose anymore weight. I went from wearing 12/14 to 2/zero.... You will get there....

Congrats!

Congrats!

Welcome back. Sorry for your lost.

I don't have a problem a night, but I usually can't eat solids until around noon.

Your body is probably lacking some electrolytes and minerals, which cause the cravings....

I was a size 14 and could wear some 12....I wear a size 4 except at NY & Company and Old Navy I wear a size 2. Before the surgery I was going to be happy with a size 8. I really don't want to go below a size 2 but at this rate it's probably going to happen.

I will surely keep you in my prayers. The weight lost is slow but steady about 4-5 pounds a month for me. I am 147 this morning, can't believe I am wearing a size 4.....I didn't do any special kind of diet, I still eat whatever I want, the only difference is the amount I am able to eat. Maybe if I would have changed my diet, I would have lost the weight quicker. If I had the ability to do that.....I probably wouldn't have needed the band. Best of luck and wishes to you on Wed. P.S. Replacing clothes is the hard thing to do.

I am almost at goal weight. I can feel my port but it does not stick out at all....

Great front office staff as well.

Dr. Gorjala performed my surgery on 11/16/11. He has great bedside manners and actually talks to you and is genuinely interested in you being successful. Great doctor and person. Love himmmmm

Sorry, I haven't been on in a while. I was banded on 11/17/11, my goal is to have my BMI slightly below 25. I weighed myself this morning and I am 161. I also changed my goal to 141 so that would be a 50 pond weight lost. I am more than half way to my goal. Looking forward to seeing the scale once I hit under 160. The weight lost has been slow but that is my preference, more likely to keep it off.

Good luck. I just had mine today 11/17/11. At the hospital at 9:45 AM and left the same day at 2:15 pm. Feeling really good, walking with no problem, very little shoulder/gas pain at this point.

When did you have your surgery?
