Thank you all!

I'm going to the beach, wearing a bathing suit! Yeahhhhh, thank You LapBand!!!!

Thanks everyone! Its not very visible in these pictures, but i fell great!

Hi! I want to share to give encouragement for who is struggling like i did! I'm not "there" yet, but now that i reached my almost 60%loss i can go slow and i wont mind! Dear 200lb, i lived with you for a long while of my life, but today i have to "end our relationship"... Be happy! (50lb loss since surgery, 57 since pre op)

Hi everyone! Im 4months post op lapband, and 7 days post op from having my gallbladder removed. For the last 2-3 days i'm feeling tighter then before with some foods i eat, and a couple of hours ago i had a HUGE stuck episode with a tiny tiny piece of baby carrot. It lasted for a good 10minutes with lots of saliva and pbing.. I'm just sore now, like someone punched around my ribs/esophagus. I'm concerned now that something could've happened during my gallbladder removal and maybe moved my band? Slipped? Ohhh God! It freaks me out just the thought of needing another surgery! Please everyone, help me!

Thanks for letting us know! I'm also planning to go back trying in September, so if works at first try i will be just like u lol my surgery was in march 2013 I lost 43lb so far. My goal was to be at 200lb by september but thank God the weight has been comin off quickly, so by september im hoping to be out of the 200 now lol How much weight did u lost before getting pregnant and how much did u gain during pregnancy? thankss

Thanks I was 240 the morning of surgery.. I'm at 215 now! It has been reallllllyyyy sssllllowwww this last 2 months, most of the weight came off during the first month, but im happy. I'm having my gallblader removed next month, hopefully that can help me shred a couple of more pounds lol

I'm not sure if the pict is too "nude" lol so if im breaking any rule here in this board....if so please let me know, and i'll delete it )

Hi guys! I keep wondering if i should eat my greek yogurt before or after a solid food? I'm afraid is going to wash down like liquids does. Like now, i couldnt eat my omelet (woke up crapy this morning, gagged even to brush my teeth) so after i few bites i dont feel like eating more, maybe a yogurt could make me feel better, but again, i dont to wash what i already ate down.. Should i wait one hour to eat the yogurt?

I had a miscarriage a couple of months ago, (my ttc app still reminds me in what week i am, i didnt have the strength to delete it - so i was supposed to be in the week 31, of pregnancy) Right after the miscarriage i decided for the lapband and march 21 i had my surgery. I lost 35lb since then, and my goal was to loose 80-90lb, and then start again, but these last few days im having baby fever again, i dont know what to do ð.. My surgeon gave me the ok to start try at 6 months post surgery, but im thinking about starting in mid June, so if God blesses me, i can surprise my husband in our 4th anniversary July 5th! I know, im crazy, but i wish this desire would go away, i want to be a mom sooooo badly!

Thanks Steph, i already added you Its funny cause icant see people's log in the app. Maybe i'm not looking at the right place!?!

I'm going to start then I'll put the time as i had my second fill last night, and i'm testing it out lol (even though today is only about mushies, tomorrow i go back to solid) So far: 7:00 - 1/2cup coffee + 1/2 cup of 2%milk(i usually have soy milk but there wasnt any left) 7:30 - 1 pouched egg 9:30 - about 1-1/2 cup of fresh papaya (Now is almost 10, and my stomach is growling lol, i'm going to try to hold on until 10:30 and maybe eat another egg. Damn it, i should've ate 2 eggs at 7:30, but i thought 1 was enough)

Hi y'all! I'm trying to see what you all have been eating to successfully loose weight. Please share here what and how much you are eating. (I know every persons amount is different, but just to have an idea). Thanks.

Hi! I just friended u

I made this particularly question to my surgeon yesterday (as someone else also told me this), and he said that either the fill works immediately or not. He even said: is like a light switch, either is on if u put it on, or off.. He told me to be back if i still dont feel restriction in about 2days after i start solid food again.

I was wondering how much Fluid you got in a 14cc band until you finally felt restriction? I've been banded almost 8 weeks ago, lost 28lb from pre op to week 2, and since then had lost only 2lb. I had my first fill 10 days ago (3cc) but nothing changed. I'm still eating what i consider big (not big as before surgery), but i can stay 4-5 hours without eating.. But it i eat small portions i will only make up to 3 hours.. So, thats why i'm probably not loosing :/ I know, i'm living thru band hell (thats whats called right? Lol).. But i want to go back and start to loose weight again! Tomorrow i'll see my surgeon again, and he may give me another fill! (My journey i started at 250lb. I'm 5'6")

Guys, my friend just mentioned about this gym here in our city that have this great workout called crossfit. I watched some videos, and i found it very cool, but not sure i can do it weighing 220lb hahaha Any thoughts?

Really? I can see it.. Idk.. Let me try to post here again.

Hey guys! Today i decided to take a picture and see if i could find any difference in my body after 27lb loss. I'm happy! Not what i was expecting, but getting there! Tomorrow i'll have my first fill. Started at 252lb, 225 lb today! (I'm 5'6")
