  8. If you go to the discussion room called twelve steps and then click on the twelve steps to overeating he is the first poster name alex his thing says mr.lbt
  9. I believe a man named alex he has emailed me a few times
  10. Does it bother anyone else to see pictures of the old you? Im down 150 pounds from my starting weight so there is quite a diffrence in how I look.. you would think I could look at them and feel some sort of accomplishment or happiness in the diffrence I see in myself and my health but thats so not the case!! I literally want to cry when I see them I cringe and have to look away... Idk what it is maybe ashamed that I ever let myself get there.. Or scared to think of getting that big again.. Idk
  11. Thank you jim by far all I was lookin for was anyone who was still on this long journey who may be a little frustrated with where they are and trying to get on track and get to that goal I never ment for anyone to get snippy as if I was calling then out because they are smaller then me.. It was just a question I asked because I know most people my size opt for the bypass or the doc encourages it over the band I was JUST CURIOUS! I understand any amount of weight can be hard to lose from ten pounds to three hundred I am just frustrated im almost six yrs in and still have a long way to go... Plus Last I checked this is an open forum for discussion and questions
  12. Ok so to sum up the past month I was to tight needed an unfill got it, it didnt help the acid reflux and night cough got worse ended up dehydrated and unable to even swallow my own spit so the doc totally unfilled me . .. Now after total unfillI spent 4 days on liquids then got very sick and constipated and full of trapted gas and in the following three days I consumed less then 2000 cals for the full three days combined and I weigh this morning and im UP 8 POUNDS since my unfill!! As if this month hasnt been bad enough now im goin back up the scale even without food what is up with that?
  13. Will happen from time to time in the bedroom .. Workin those ab muscles you should be fine
  14. I in no way intended to offend anyone by asking if anyone started over 400 pounds and I by far never said anything disrespectful to anyone with less weight to lose.. I in general just asked if anyone started where I did as long ago as I did.and was still struggling to hit goal weight. So im sorry if one persons opinion rubbed you wrong but I did not make this thread with the intention of offending anyone just lookin to talk to someone who might feel like they are behind and in a slump
  15. Dont do it!! If your liver is swollen the doc will either cut you fully open instead of laproscopic or stop the surgery all together! Plus you might as well get used to it because post op diet is liquids to
  16. Yay!! I too met my under 300 goal thia month literally cried when the number didnt start with 3
  17. Your already off to a great start by being so concerned and asking questions:) he will need a good support system because there are many up and down days sometimes I am really tight and cant get all my protein in and im sluggish and tired or terribly bloated or constipated..or ive had to be unfilled three times and my poor hubby has been scared to death seein me dehydrated and throwing up but I thank god he was here for me .. Not sure about your hubby but my dad does not like to eat in public because he does not like to get sick in a public restroom or feel like he waisted his money.. Everyone is a little diffrent..
  18. Oh the joy of the random lapband.. I believe mine loves to keep me guessing... No joke ive ate something for dinnet and tried it the very next day for lunch and my band flipped out amd gave it the big old stamp of rejection! You just never know..
  19. Yes go to lapband.com or ask your doctor.. But a lot of resturants do not honor them
  20. Many resturants dont honor the card even if you have it... I always just have a bite or two of whatever meat my husband gets and then I order a side item of my own like a side salad or apple sauce or a veggie
  21. I wont be much help here because ive only slept with one man ever and he is now my hubby but I will say the more weight I lose the more energy I have and the more flexible I am and igs GREAT!.. So if you have a partner who you have a good sexual relationship with that you enjoy id keep it goin cause as you lose its only going to feel better.
  22. Lol been there done that
  23. Do not hesitate to go see the doc! I cannot stress this enough it will only get worse odds are u are just a little to tight and the doc can do a barium swallow to check but if you keep waitin around (like I did) it will get terrible and lets just say I literally have spent the last month tryin to fight my way back to healthy all because I was stubborn. It turned into serious swelling and inflamation in my pouch from all the acid reflux sitting in there over night and I ended up not being able to eat drink or even swallow my own spit and I ended up dehydrated and almost choked to death in my sleep luckly my hubby woke me.. Not tryin to scare you just dont want you to get to this point because now I am fighting my way back threw dehyration and constipation and all kinds of junk over somethin I could have solved months ago
