Two years ago, attended the Taste the Town Event, by the time I was done, I looked like I'd had a food fight so much stains on my shirt , Last night I had 1/2 slice of pizza, 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, and a baggie of popcorn rest of the night.. NSV for me!

NSV without knowing it.. $3 in purse, normally I get some scratchers, but today I said $3 thats a zumba class!

Saw myself this am, while I was at mini mart getting gas, teen overweight girl, runs into store for corn dogs and soda for breakfast,she has no idea whats going to happen to her.

Im the same way, petty to most, but if Im not on track my whole work out gets blown , congratulations though 19 minutes is awesome!

NSV: got a massage today, the tech said, did you loose more weight? Happily I said yes!
-
Wow, 2 ccs, your tummy is probably swollen from the sudden restriction. My doctor tried that and it did not work, I mean I did loose weight, 7 lbs in 7 days but I was so miserable. better to go small fills sometimes. Good luck!

I would, put I would be more educated before I actually do surgery. Thought I knew it all, I knew nothing!!! I much more knowledgeable now, and I seek information as well, as well as now have people I can ask.

I've read on here, that we should think of lapbands like a "part" and that is it could "wear out" 'erosion" at about 5 years. that people have been on 1-3 lapbands over a course of years. with no problems. Good luck and best wishes!

I got that sugar spike and it only took a few times and now I say, thanks but NO thanks..

2 Year Old Gets Bariatric Surgery
#MagicWithinme replied to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The child probably got to a point where a reduction of food just left him hungrier why he gained17 lbs , sad and scary, that in the future this is whats going to happen to the kids here in the USA, and who's going to pay for surgeries? -
Optifast Shakes/Pre-op Diet
#MagicWithinme replied to FaithfulOne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's all I stilll drink 85 weeks later, I've tried other varieties/brands, but none seem to give me the same satified feeling that optifast does. When it gets cold I use the chocholate one, like hot chocholate, tastes sooo good. I buy online and you can get the strawberry flavor also. I will admit I do cheat by adding a frozen piece of banana or teaspoon of peanut butter. it makes me feel fuller longer- 1 reply

4th fill and possible gallbladder issues....
#MagicWithinme replied to Deed2u's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor does a sono first to make sure there are no stones in gallbladder, because it sometimes causes complications later. So I had my gallbladder checked, and come to find out my gallbladder was one huge stone,then 6 weeks later had my lapband done. It really is an easy procedure, but that doesn't calm the nerves I know... good luck. -

Average Fills to Green Zone????
#MagicWithinme replied to NewMeDebbie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My doctor leaves it up to me.. I mean he watches my weight and as long as Im happy with where Im at and speed, he will put in minimal, when I ask or more. (which didn't work out as he had to take it out a few days later). You will get to recognize your body's language and know what you need. -
plenty more NSV's to come, congratulations...

my hips and back hurt when I haven't gone to the bathroom, or constipated. I don't always take my miralax and I guess I should, because once I do go, the pressure subsides...

People don't realize how sensitive our tummies are, and it is very easy to irritate and have swelling happen. The important thing is to remember what happened so it doesn't happen again. I know for myself. The doctor had to remove all my fills because tummy had gotten so swollen, can't even remember what I ate, maybe a piece of bread(?) but it did not sit well and had to wait 6 weeks to start getting fills again.

My reasons aren't so secret,, To feel good, To live good, To spend quality and quantity time with family and friends, instead of being that person always on the sidelines or on the couch while everyone is away having fun. Yes to show that ex if you had just been supportive and stuck by me, while I found myself, this is the person you would be with. Instead of telling me who is going to want someone your size? Well honey let me tell you, I found someone one (and he has been with me through thick and thin) and all the sizes in between. and getting smaller.
