I briefly hopped on to the lapband forum (yesterday), and once I saw the amount was loss in comparison, I said to hell with that.

Has to do with what your surgeon wants, not by weight.

Never too late to measure. You're suppose to measure your neck, upper arms, bust, waist, hips, thighs, and calves. You'll be surprised.

Wow, that's great. Keep up the good work.

Hi. I'd love to know what your weight loss numbers are after 1, 6, 9, and 12 months. I would appreciated other months as well. Can you also put in if you worked out or didn't in your weight loss journey?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all. You know I will be watching on youtube. Can't wait.

Lmao@ ankles and toes. Did you measure yourself? Maybe you are losing inches.

I've always lost weight in my boobs, tummy, and face first. My legs get chickeny in comparison to my upper body, but lets see. Hopefully when I'm in the 150 zone every thing will even out.

Well a RNY to a sleeve would be a DS. Wouldn't it be? I'm sure they'd be some extra moving around, making the surgery more tricky.

You have a good breast? What's that? Lol. Yea, that's weird. The fat wants to leave where it wants to leave. I'm sure my belly will lose weight first and that's where my weight is. That and my boobs. *Crossing fingers.

I'm curious to see where I lose it. Were you all top heavy before?

Like someone said earlier, to then to the DS, it might have been harder to find the right doctor for her. Who knows. In NYC there are only a small handfull of doctors that can do the DS, the other three popular surgeries (Band, Bypass, and Sleeve) are done more widely. Probably didn't feel like being bothered with it all? Maybe she likes the fact that the band can be removed. So manyfactors. I mean my friend had the bypass almost ten years ago, and has gained some back, no where near what Carny gained back, but she did. Best of luck to her.

How tall are you Mr Worm? (Cute name btw)

Okay, My foot has always been long, and wide. I never carried weight in my foot, like some do. My feet are veiny, a little boney, but I am curious if I would lose a size. My entire life I've been a 9.5/10B sometimes W. After pregnancy my foot went up a size, and I know that can happen permanently after a child. I'd love if I could get back to a 10. When I was 250 (pregnancy weight) I wore a 10, after pregnancy when I returned to 250 my foot was an 11, so I know it's not a weight thing, but I'd like to assume, hehehe. Anywho any bony footed people (lol) loss a shoe size?

I'm not even listening to that nutritionist, because if I need a shake, I'm going to have a shake. Maybe because she thinks I'd have a shake plus a meal? I dunno. Yea, I'm in Brooklyn as well.

For whatever strange reason my nutritionist didn't want me to continue with shakes once I was in the solid food stage. I didn't ask why (long story) but she was so against me an shakes. I don't eat out. After I had my son, I've avoided all the old luxuries. I mean I went out but usually my aunt treats for me. I'm not against shakes, but I'm going to hope that I could get my protein from foods. I do like them. Shakes are easier to create when on the go.

If the grocery money goes towards clothes money, I won't complain!! I love clothes, but have not bought anything really for myself since knowing that I intended on losing weight even before surgery was on my mind. Besides I am CHEAP!! Skinny clothes are cheap if you know where to shop. I can find cute $5, $10 blouses, even $12 jeans. Probably cheaper too.The options for cheap skinny clothes are in abundance! Plus size clothes that are cute is wayyyyy to expensive! I use to have a friend who was cheap as well who knew where to go for cheap clothes, she was a size 6. The organic store is no joke in comparison, plus I am in NYC so everything is crazy high. I've been mixing it up, some at the regular grocery store, and some at the organic store.

I subscribed. You are so bubbly. Lol

At the beginning stage I'm sure it will be shakes etc. But unless I lose appetite for particular things my diet will probably stay the same. I eat eggs, and dairy, etc. You can check out my youtube watchmeloseit2012.

I have already factored in protein shakes but I don't plan on making that my staple for the rest of my life only at the beginning stage,

Sucks how good food is so expensive, especially as a vegeterian. As a mom on a budget it can be really hard to get the things you need, but I can say this, when I get the sleeve, I'm not only going to be excited because of the weight loss, but with smaller meals, it means a smaller bill for me at the organic store. Woohoo! That is all.

Is the contracting pain the same as the pain felt when you take a laxative or something similar? Usually laxatives without ginger makes my stomach feel that way, like "Where is the toilet? Stay out of my way"

Thanks for the response. I'm eating very little carbs now. I started about a week ago. I want to focus on high vitamin enriched greens. I had asparagus for the first time yesterday. Very delicious. I'm a vegeterian, so my diet consist of soy foods, and now more veggies. So let's see how this goes. I'm getting a bike soon so I can get some exercise. I love bicycling. I'm currently a 22 in LB jeans, and a 22/24 top. My button down from them is a 26. I got big boobies. What is your goal? I'd love to get to 125, but I'm okay with 130-145.

Can someone tell me what the slimes are? I keep hearing about it. Please be very descriptive. It sounds gross. Like snot.

I saw them talking about HCG on Dr. Drew today. I can't do 500 cals now, but maybe after I'm sleeved. That sounds like a good idea if for whatever reason I've tried all that I could and I still can't lose/slow loser. I'm willing to try anything that is safe and won't mess with my sleeve. I've tried xenadrine, and hydroxycut without the ephedrine and although it worked I got crazy headaches. I wouldn't DARE do those again. I also tried some other pill that gave me the shakes. It was crazy. I wonder how colon cleansers react on the intestines, and the tummy. Being blocked up doesn't feel too good.
