earthsmile reacted to Joel in April 25Th Will Be 6 Months On The Dot From My Surgery, Down 143 Ponds!!!!!!
I am proud to say I have lost 143 pounds in the last 5.5 months, through militant excersize,weight training, dedication, and healthy eating. I started at 356, today I am 213. My finish goal is to weigh 180 pounds. My doctors have been great and I have stuck to their instructions to a T. I have a 10cc band that is at 5cc and I am just now starting to feel restriction, the hard part is coming to an end. It is very possible:)
Here is to my final 33 pounds!!

earthsmile reacted to Cyndie B in Low Carb Before Surgery
The low carb way of eating works best for me, too. I eat protien and veggies. I also eat almonds as a snack. I have an egg and a couple of pieces of bacon for Breakfast, lunch meat and cheese for lunch, and then chicken or fish and veggies for dinner. No bread, potatoes, rice, no fast food, no sweet drinks, no Desserts. I am feeling great! And I can't forget the low carb margarita mix...1 carb!

earthsmile got a reaction from myjourneyagain in How Is Weight Loss For Those Over 350 Lbs Or Bmi Over 50
Hi,
I just joined today. I had my consult last week. Now have to meet with nutritionist and psych. I want to lose 20 lbs before surgery. My surgeon is Dr. Larson in Lake Worth, Florida. He doesn't require weight loss, but says it is easier on your lungs if you do. I will try.
I want to know if you lose your appetite, and how fast larger people lose weight.
Also does anyone prefer one band over another: Realize or lap band?
How is energy level after surgery?
Thank you,
Louisa
