Broccoli isn't mine...

Me too...justathing2me

I start my day at 6am and I don't eat until 9am. I'm just not that hungry in the morning. I think my band is tighter too in the morning but I take this time to get some of my water in.

Banded 8/1/2012 and I've lost 82lbs.

I feel the same way! My kids asked me last night what my New Year resolution was and I told them that for the first time in a long time I really don't have one. I'm just going to keep on what I'm doing! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using LapBandTalk

When I originally met with my surgeon we decided on 140lbs. I am 5'4" and as I am losing the weight I have adjusted my goal to 145lbs. Funny, I really don't want to be too thin! I am currently wearing a size 6-8 pants at 161lbs and I'm comfortable with that

I can't help it...I weigh every day!

My Dr. put in 3.6 cc's at the time of surgery. So far, I've had 2 fills. The first one was only 2 weeks ago (3 1/2 months after surgery) and he only put in 1 cc. I had my second fill of 1.6 cc today for a total of 6.2 in my 10cc band. Hopefully, I'm on my way to the green zone Reading everyone's posts here though, it looks like everyone is different and what works for one might not work for another. I log my food and even though I may be hungry, I don't over and I measure everything.

It's not unusual at all...I had my lapband surgery on 8/1 and my gallbladder removed 10/5. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using LapBandTalk

9...5 from band surgery and 4 from gallbladder surgery. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using LapBandTalk

I started buying a few pieces when I lost about 50lbs but those are too big now too. I am a cheapy and hate to spend money on clothes that are going to be too big soon. I suggest the thrift stores and to check out any good sales. I have been frequenting Fashion Bug because they are going out of business soon. I'm going tonight , hoping to fit in a size 8

I had my gallbladder out on 10/5, only 2 months after my band surgery. I thought the recovery was similar minus the port pain. I also have 4 more incision in addition to the 5 from the band. I think the gas was more painful with the band too. Good luck with your surgery and recovery! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using LapBandTalk

I currently take the Centrum chewables too because I haven't seen a gummy yet that has iron. I do take gummy B complex and gummy Fiber. I personally think they taste pretty good!

My surgery was 8/1. I lost 30lbs before surgery and almost 34lbs since. I haven't needed any fills yet but I did have to have another surgery to remove my gallbladder on 10/5. All and all, I am extremely happy with my results so far!

I've made this for my family on several occasions. They love it! I usually add chopped garlic and sprinkle with a little parmesan and put it in the oven for just a bit after I blend it. The cauliflower has a lot of liquid so make sure you try to dry it with paper towel as much as possible before you blend it. Also, if it's a little too liquidy you can add a small amount of instant mashed potatoes to thicken it up.

Down to 174.6 Now back to hurricane Sandy, hoping we don't lose power!

Nope, no unfill, just 4 more incisions in addtion to the 5 from band surgery. Also, the gas pains were nothing compared to band surgery.

I've lost 33lbs since surgery, 8/1/2012.

I was banded 8/1/2012 and just had my gallbladder out on 10/5. In my opinion, I found the recovery much easier than the band.

I lost 9-10lbs during my 2 week liquid diet.
