Not sure how much IS too much, I do know the bigger you are the faster you lose in the beginning, so yes, it will slow down. This really makes me go back and follow a low-carb lifestyle again.

I went through that mourning phase as well but im happy to say I can pretty much have everything and anything with the exception of tuna fish.... Actually, I CAN have it, I just have to be a little more careful when I do. I thought I wasn't gonna be able to have my favorite red meats (steak & ribs) and I can as long as I eat slowly, take small bites and chew the hell out of them. So, just because you can't have it right now, doesn't mean you will NEVER be able to. In the meantime, yes, follow the plan to a T

I originally started and completed all of my pre op requirements at Bellevue Hospital and they require you to see a "family planning" specialist, which means you have to go on birth-control prior to surgery to ensure you do not get pregnant right after lap-band. I was pretty PISSED because I have this stupid pride in the fact that hubby and I have NEVER used any birth control method besides pulling out. I opted for a IUD because it's non-hormonal and I don't have to do anything for it to work. Now I'm kinda HAPPY it's there because after losing nearly 40lbs, I'm the one who usually initiates Hubby doesn't know it's there so we are still pulling out. He doesn't know not because I WANT to keep it a secret, it's because the prankster in me wants to one day have an "accident" and keep him guessing (and worried) for a few weeks. But I REALLY want to tell him already so we don't always have to.... you know.... Pull out.

Is there a specific even that you can point to as the cause of the slip? Thank God you've got your new band! Take care!

I can't WAIT to be in the 100's

Stacy, don't sell yourself short.... Before you know it, you'll be wanting to know how to STOP losing. Don't fret

Do you find you generally lose more weight than others who don't follow a low-carb lifestyle?

(((HUG)))

That was painful to watch, Miss I actually LOVE men's fascination with their "winkies"

Lmfaaoo!! No, it would be perfectly legal! This thread is as good as it gets. Thank you. Looks like I'll be visiting the men's room more often

Thank you, sweetheart! Thank you all for your responses. <3

Great link

A synonym for *insurance company* is *DIRT BAGS*.... How can they deny removal?!! Keep trying, I'm sure they'll come through!

Mind you, I was being NICE to the lady... She put her bag on the seat next to me to get her metrocard out to pay and I gently said: "you may sit here". That's all I said to her. She said she wouldn't fit with my BIG ASS (in Spanish)
