Trying to up load a pic not sure if it has worked [ATTACH]27970[/ATTACH]

Yea. Very true.. how much is the surgury to remove it ?

Hey chick. Congrates on your weight loss youre doing amazing Ive been banded a year and ive lost 142pounds.. and i was wondering hlw are u handling the loose skin. I like you have never missed a gym session. My trainer has been with me from the start n ny muscle to fat ratio is where it should be. But the loose skin is depressing me

HELP. Ive lost 60kg since surgury a year a go. Ive always gone to the gym and have good muscle tone. But my loose skin is really getting to me. It makes me feel fat still. I know ive come a long way but i still have 20kg to loose but im scared incase my loose skin keeps getting worse.. HELP

Hey every one i havnt been on here in ages just been busy with life in general.. thought i drop in and do an update. Im 11 months out 60kg down and fitting into a size 14.i have a fabulous man in my life and things kn general are amazing. Im struggling a bit to get the last 20kg off but my gym pt is confident ill nail it soon. Im focusing on not loosing the last of it too fast cuz i dont want to end up with too much excess skin. So yea all positive lapband was definetly the best decision i ever made . Hope your all well xx

what is a pouch

i got that formula from my nutrition books,, n its on a couple of websites to ,,

just an update everyone, im now in a comfortable size 18 next step size 16 wooohoooo

for the protein thing u need to times ur weight by .453 as well,, cuz that converts ur weight to kg,, as i live in aus thats the measurement system we use lol

times it sorry,,

ive lost 86lb over 5months,, i noticed that the weeks i didnt loose much were the weeks i didnt eat much, i have my three meals a day plus three protein shakes plus snacks between meals, i seriously feel like im eating all day but u have to get ur calories in, to figure out how many calories ur body needs just to function without any exercise or daily activity divide ur weight by .453 then times that number by ten, thats the minimum u should consume, then add at least an extra 500 for daily activity, and to figure out ur protein in take time ur weight by .8 [ATTACH]26219[/ATTACH]

thinking i need to get some.fluid taken out of my band as ive just got another cold n im still on decongestanta from the last one,, any idea of what i can do other then removing fluid

hey guys im have a loose skin issue,, since ive lost so much weight so fast im all loose and wobbly :/ any advice ??

thanks i gotta keep reminding myself of how far ive come not how far i have to go

30kg down and in a size 18 sooo excited !!

hey everyone, i was banded 4/10 and on my 4month bandiversay i was down 24kg which is 52lbs,, i was really surprised cuz the last two montha have been really hard to live the bandster life with working three jobs,, i havnt been to gym in ages so im getting a bit flabby but im still very proud of 52lb if i can do that again over the next four months ill be over the moon, i have 3cc in my 10cc band so think another few more kg n ill need another fill lol,, hope everyone else is doing great love this site dont know what id do with out it

thanks everyone thats been really helpful,, seeing my surgeon isnt much help,, before i got my band i went in and asked all these questions and he just said - well have to wait n see but the long term result will be worth it,, i mean ysa thats great but i need some sort of prepartion for what to expect,, im now 4 months in and ive had three freak outs about stuff that should have been told to me before surgury,,

see why doesnt my lapband doc tell me this stuff ?? i havnt really been hungry just craving weird thin

thank you, that makes so much sense cu most of the time when i bring things back up its largely flem,, so makes sense,, thank you
