it sounds as if you are doing fantastic. you are 35 pounds lighter than you were. i think that is a success. you just keep doing what you are doing. (eating fruits/veggies and get your protein). i am sure sure but if you are unable to move about much, maybe a little lower cal intake but i would ask your dr to be sure to do what is right for you. all the best my darling. you are def an inspiration

eating lunch and reading this........love my trollster friends...

it just seems to me that the courts/the whomever's are more concerned with the rights of the guilty and not so much of the victims. its appalling to me. i say we have the death penalty, by george lets use it. people that kill people should not be given a second chance. they did not give those victums a 2nd chance. and now his fat butt got fat and the tax payers there have to pay for his gastric banding?.....there is no justice. just my 3 cents. hope i did not offend.

gosh, that is so fantastic. i am soooooo proud and so jealous at the same time. this is a great day congrats kah---your hard work paid off darling

congrats on your surgery and your journey i am sure you will be a great success life changes......think of what is to be.....i do and it seems fantastic rest well, sip sip sip and do what the dr says see you soon banded lady

noticing hair strains in the tub after my bath or shower am getting enough protein and taking my vits and biotin sure hopes it doesnt get worse i have baby fine hair also def a scary thing

i have noticed that some hair is coming out..am getting enough protein and taking my vitamins hope is slows down or stops soon.............and hope it doesnt get worse

def made me ill to read of this..just unreal

IMALEAF my choice for you out of the ones you provided

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2190541/Graham-Fisher-23-stone-cannibal-killed-women-given-gastric-band-operation-NHS-worth-15-000.html you have got to be shitting me....

whats done is done. we cant change what we did or ate yesterday. put it behind you and do better starting right now. sounds like you have done well and you will again. today/right now if you dont do good today, do better tomorrow

i allow myself a mcdonalds kids meal w nuggets on friday. (i dont eat the fries though) food is not the enemy. eating too much of it, is. you are doing so well and i am super duper proud of you. TOM makes me hungry too and i eat more fruit at that time. i havent had a fill yet so i cant comment on something i dont know anything about. loved reading your childhood and cooking

gonna be tough..so dont hate me but the more you dwell on what you are giving up, the harder it will be... you can eat/drink whatever you want. some dr's dont care if you drink soda and then some do. the band is a little 3 inch plastic band that helps you get full on smaller amounts. if you over eat,the band will let you know. you will have to make better decisions on your food choices. if you dont, then you may not lose weight. i was a soda addict, the day i started my pre op in late may, was my last soda......i am a crystal light gal now. start focusing on what will happen to you, lose weight, getting healthy, smaller clothes instead of i cant drink soda. who knows, maybe your dr will say you can..instead of i cant have this or that........having this or that got us to where we needed WLS. me included. but you need a positive attitude. you came this far. keep going. all the best on your upcoming surgery.

what a wonderful and enjoyable post helen good for you. what a great day for you. you deserve it. Enjoy it.

seriously?? you and bandit just had major surgery and you are concerned about gaining weight?? please ease your mind and let your body heal itself. as mis said, you will given fluids and your body is in a WTF mode??? so take it slow.........follow your dr's instructions and stop weighing yourself right now. your weight will go up and down all day long....when your clothes get loose, that is a cause to Celebrate. congrats on your surgry. i just know you will be a great success.

hey mike, congrats on the surgery, sounds like things are about normal i started feeling 100% about 10 days out. still sore but was able to go to work. i think its normal to go gosh darn what did i do?? but just hang in there because you will start to feel better and after you are healed up about 4 to 6 weeks, then you will be amazed at how well you are doing. you do what works for you. dont fret over the scale number as weight loss will come as you heal. all the best.

i continue to take them everyday and will forever per my dr's instruction sojo is 100% correct

if your clothes are looser and you are feeling better, that is a wonderful sign that you are losing weight the scale goes up and down all day long best of luck to you sounds like you are doing a great job

for me, 8-10 days i was ready to go back to work and feeling more like myself you will soon...hang in there, your doing great

i havent had a fill yet for like you, am still a newbie keep up the great work

they fold the stomach into itself and suture it (no cutting) its kinda new but it is working for me here is a link to show you http://www.peachtreebariatrics.com/gastric-band-plication.php

only wish i would have done it sooner the band and plication gave me my life back i wont waste another minute

i had the plication and def helps with me being full at about 4 oz of food. i had never heard of it until my dr told me when i met with him. seems to be working well with me all the best

if i wanted to eat ice cream or crackers, id choose ff ice cream or low fat crackers (they have small 100 calorie servings). so if i want something, i eat it, just smaller amounts and every so often.
