bandedgorJESS

AMAZING! And I gotta say I'm kinda jealous! Lol I wish I was losing faster! It's seems like its taking forever for me to lose !

Saw someone I haven't seen pre surgery and their reaction was "wow youve lost a lot of weight!" I've only lost 23 lbs thus far but damn it felt good to get recognition! I LOVE my band! I wouldn't be able to do this w out it!!!!!! What are some of yalls nsv's?!

Had my 3rd full yesterday... I was super excited bc I needed the restriction.... The nurse stabbed me twice trying to find my port... It was so effen painful! I left in so much pain and a day later I'm still in pain! My mom told me my stomach looks bloated! It almost feels like around my port is pooching out : / is this normal?! I'm scared to call my dr and they will take my fill out, I need the restriction !

Lmao! I had my last meal at olive garden too!!!!! I've since then gone back post op and let me tell you, I will NEVER eat the tour of Italy again! So NOT worth the carbs! I eat salad and calamari and sometimes stuffed mushrooms : ) I used to be able to have an appetizer, tour of Italy, and desert! I don't know how the hell I ate all of that! I lost 15 lbs on my liquid diet. And I will admit, I cheated a couple times : ( but 15 lbs in 2 weeks is pretty awesome! Lol mostly all water weight I'm sure....

I actually went today for my 3rd fill : )

I want to stop hiding behind my child and husband when we take pictures. I only show my face NEVER my full body! Stop wearing sweaters bc it hides my fat arms and back fat! I wana walk into a clothing store and buy what I like on the hanger not settle for what fits! These are all things I thought were "normal" .... They aren't normal. And I want to change them. Best of luck to you guys!

His might come across as a stupid question. But is there a specific reason why we can't drink or sip water while we eat? This has truly been a challenge for me : / Thanks in advance!

I too went to dr Hollis at true results! I love him and his staff is great! I am fortunate enough to have had the surgery covered by my ins fills included. I do wish they would give fills more often instead of having to wait 5 to 6 weeks for availability : / but other than that I really like their facility and staff!

Me too and I haven't lost much since surgery.... What I have lost what bc I was on the pre op diet.... I'm getting super frustrated

Omg! Thank you for sharing this ladies link! I LOVE reading it now! How much weight has she lost?! I could relate to her on so many levels! Thanks again!

I'm 3 months post op w the lap band and it is NOT easy! It's basically 70% mental work and the rest your band! If you're looking for easy fix then don't choose lap band.... If this doesn't work for me I'll be considering the sleeve.... I honestly thought it would be a little easier than this : / we shall see after I hit my "sweet spot"

I only have 3 cc in my 10 cc band..... I do exsercise however I don't always make the best food choices : / carbs and sweets are my freakin weekness! I get my 3rd fill next week so I'm hoping for more restriction .... I appreciate all the feedback!

3 and half months post op and have only lost 10 lbs! Anyone else having this problem?!
