There are very few people who know I have a lap band. Today, after church, myself and a group of friends went out to eat. My 8 year old daughter was ravenous, and in the process of shoveling her food down, apparently something got stuck. Someone asked her if she was okay. She replied, LOUDLY, "Something is stuck in the port of my lap band, that's all!" Wasn't expecting that one...I laughed way too loud and changed the subject very quickly!

You look GREAT! Keep up the good work!!!

Don't get discouraged! 23 lbs is good! I agree with the other replies...check with your nutritionist and see if you're eating enough. Increasing your Protein is a great idea also.

I did a search to figure out what you were talking about. You didn't come here looking for compassion and at no time were you belittled. You came here, never having posting before and have no relationship with anyone here, looking for votes for your contest.
I'm sorry but people reacted with caution and honesty. When a stranger comes out of the blue posting links and wanting our help with one of the zillion potential scams out there, a red flag goes up. We don't want a virus from a link and we don't want to be part of a scam. We don't know you so we don't trust you, either. You can't fault us for having a healthy dose of skepticism.
If you want our help, trying being a part of our community and getting to know us, not just coming here for votes. Otherwise, you're sure to get nowhere fast.

I love these posts!!! I can't wait to ride on a carnival ride with my kids. My NSV's so far are: Being able to wear an XL shirt that my son gave me 2 yrs ago (He kept asking why I hadn't worn it and thought I didn't like it. I didn't have the heart to admit that I couldn't wear it!), having a coworker tell me I needed new jeans because I'm almost mooning her in the old ones every time I bend over, having to sell brand new winter clothes that I bought last year because they are way too big and being able to complete the HipHop Abs workout DVD with my 8 year old daughter without passing out!

If you had surgery Aug. 9, you probably haven't had many fills. Sometimes, it takes quite a few fills to feel restriction. I was banded in March and had 5 fills before I felt restricted. Also, based on the food you listed, it doesn't look like you're consuming a lot of calories. Depending on your current weight, maybe it's too few calories and your body is on 'starvation mode'. I reached a plateau after 4 mos. and was sure that eating fewer calories and exercising more would restart my weight loss. However, the lbs still wouldn't come off. When I added more calories, in the form of lean Protein, cheese, Greek yogurt...the lbs started coming off again. Don't get discouraged. You'll be posting your 'skinny pics' in no time!

I'm really glad that you're doing so well!!! We were at the dr's office the same day last week and I'm almost positive that you were leaving when I was arriving. I was hesitant about saying anything because your initial profile picture and the Allie I saw Tues. look like two different people! When I saw your new profile picture, I'm convinced that it was you, LOL!
When you go to Lane Bryant again, see if my BFF is there. She's the manager, Tiffeny. She's on a non lap band weight loss journey and she's super sweet and very helpful!
LOVE your beautiful artwork!
Good luck on your continuing journey!!!

Well...many people will still not believe ANY FACTS...even if they come from Obama's mouth...LOL...
Many people hate ObamaCare and really don't know why....

This is not from "Obama's website, anything directly from President Obama would have a .gov at the end of the URL.
I just posted facts and myths that many people are getting confused.
This is the direct URL to The Health Care Market Place.
