    Mara005 got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ in Lap band + plication   
    I had the lap band with plication, I'm very happy with it. I'm down over 50 pounds (40 since surgery) and my first fill is next week. It's great to have another tool to help me.

    I dropped alot the first two weeks, but since then I've barely lost anything. It's super frustrating but I'm trying to focus on daily fitness, my Water intake and protein first, I hope that will help lose it.

    I'm not a regular drinker but I did have a small glass at christmas (my first since surgery at almost 12 weeks out) and it was fine.

    My cycle has been a bit wacky (more than usual) since my surgery in Oct. I'm hoping it will become more regular over the next few months.

    Amazing NSV, I went to my WLS support group meeting and a girl I haven't seen in a while nearly feel out of her chair. Her eyes popped out of her head and she said " OMG you look amazing, you whole body has shrunk!" It made my night!

    While I appreciate your input, it was not a reward. I no longer have "rewards" or "cheats" as per my eating disorder therapist and my own resolve. I have LIFE. I plan to go to the same restaurants I've always gone to, just to eat less and count every calorie. So, I am incorporating the foods I like into my life in a healthy way. Some days will be better than others but I REFUSE to beat myself up for living it or to say I'll never have another margarita.
    I have lived the "never have anything high calorie again" lifestyle, got down to a size 4, and it's not sustainable long term. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed at the negative feedback, when I specifically posted a NSV. Margarita 400 calories. I was at 1050 for the day and exercised 200.

    Hello Everyone!
    I was banded on the 4th, I've lost 20 pounds since surgery and 31 all together. I'm on the mushy diet, and I'm so over it.
    On a good note, I walked on the treadmill for 55 minutes (just over 2.5 miles) today!!!

    Yes, I feel this way too. I feel like I'm only eating less because I measure out smaller portions, I think if I didn't I could fit an average size portions into me. But this smaller portion satisfies me, so I don't.
