**IP~LB**

I have never been happier with my band!!!! I read a lot of negative before also. Mostly it was a 40% fail rate, but most of those statistics are from people who didn't follow the doctors orders!! There are risks involved, but if you consider what being morbidly obese, the risks are much less!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DECISION!

You are a HUGE success. I love your daily profile updates and your posts!!

Keep up everything you are doing

IPLB

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope all gets better soon!!!

That is EXCELLENT!!! WTG.

Great time also!!

I make the Paleo Banana/Apple muffins ALL THE TIME. In fact I made them last weekend with walnuts, so good!

Yeah Bibi, I am in south florida!

Yes I have read all the paleo books and I have all the cookbooks.

Eating Paleo makes me feel so good. That is how I lost my initial 40 pounds before LB surgery.

Glad we made your day Lion!!

Hi All

So I am getting ready for my work day and I had to run back to my bathroom to get something I forgot. I got a glimpse of myself

in the mirror and I did a double take. So I snapped a picture. I was at my moms and she gave me the picture on the left. My jaw dropped. I was 317 or more in that picture. I can't even believe I let someone take that picture of me. I was definitely anti-pictures.

I realized that before I had lapband surgery in Dec of 2012 that I had actually lost 40 lbs on my own.

Needless to say I am very very pleased that I had this surgery performed. I have been keeping my calories under 1200 a day and been working out 4 plus times a week.

58 more pounds to go to my ultimate goal. I would like to lose 6-8 pounds a month to reach my goal. The more weight I lose and the better I feel in my clothes the more motivated I get to eat cleaner and cleaner. Not just stay under my calories but make every calorie count!

Hope everyone is doing well today. I had a couple of NSV's this weekend and am proud of myself and I wanted to share

Take care,

Reen

That was funny!

Keep up the great work!

All clothes are gone! When I reach my next goal I will be getting giving away some more

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

The following changes I have had/made in the past 3.2 months. I have lost 60 lbs and very very pleased. No fills here yet.

282-222......

My goal is 206 by May 29th, which is my birthday. I WILL DO IT!

• One week after surgery I sleep through the night. Which is so amazing for me. I used to get up every 90 minutes!!
  
• When I go to a restaurant I don't have to ask for a table anymore, I can now sit in any booth, without adjusting it or having my friends switch sides with me to accomadate my fatness.
  
• I've have gone from size 28 to a size 18, and they are getting baggy!!
  
• I am working out regularly again without back pain and without being sore for days.
  
• I don't have any acid reflux anymore
  
• I am saving $300.00 a WEEK on food. I used to go out lunch and dinner and have HUGE meals with alcohol. 14 meals out a week, 7,000 calories plus a day, now I consume between 700-1200 calories a day and I now I cook at home
  
• I am constantly on the GO GO GO!!!
  
• I am a happier person overall now and look forward to my future.
  
• I can wear my necklaces again.
  
• I can Tie my sneakers without getting winded from bending down.
  
• I actually now have a wardrobe to pick from now and not just wearing my live-ins all the time.
  
• I DO NOT DRINK ANY ALCOHOL ANYMORE, nor do I even have the desire 2! I have been drinking for 20 years!!
  

This is only after 3.2 months.....I can't even WAIT in 9 months how many more accomplishments I have made.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

Hey Jen,

I am with you!! No fills 3 months, banded on Dec 4. I am down 60 pounds and very happy with my weight loss. I have been back 4 times to my doc for fills but he said with my weight loss I do not need it. I eat about 900-1100 calories a day and stay satisfied from 4-6 hours. So far soo good!!

It is amazing I went from 7,000 plus calories a day and still being hungry and eating like a normal person now and staying satisfied!!

Keep up the great work!!

WOOHOO..

Keep up the great work, looking good!! Enjoy your weekend!
