    Halloween...Treat idea

    Nice idea! I may do this myself.
  3. It's been a LOOOONG time but I still remember how I found this place (or LBT back then). I was looking for research on the lap band. I've been here and very active ever since, with the exception of a little time in between here and there.
  4. I am 6.5 years post op, not sure who the question was directed to but that's me!

    Waiting on the call!

    The most exciting time... until you get your surgery date. Hang in there!
  6. I'll tell you what I've learned over the years... you will stall at the worst possible times. No way around it except keep doing all the right things and keep praying that tomorrow morning your scale will give you what you want to see. Good luck!
  7. Yes I've had one not to long ago. They put me in a twilight state, so I was awake but I didn't feel any pain. I also didn't feel fear either on what they were doing to me. It went smooth and easy. No worries, you will be fine.
  8. Wow!!!! CONGRATS you are doing exceptionally well

    Question about fluids

    I would suggest setting a timer next to you for every 15 minutes. Take a sip of 2 oz. That will get you 8 Oz per hour and after 8 hours you will have your 64 Oz. Good luck! That's tough for most of us post op.

    What’s Your Relationship with Caffeine?

    I do limit myself to coffee only in the morning. I guess that's just me though. My surgeon only said to avoid it for 3 months.
  11. There will be some people whose jealousy will be apparent even though they try to mask it. We just have to shrug it off and keep living for ourselves. <3

      Some people are just not happy for my success and they are dealing with there own issues. It hurts because I am still the same person inside. I just let it go, but I wonder why people have to be so negative.

      I am learning and experiencing the same thing, people who I thought of a friends now see me as a threat and I am still the same person and still have 88 pounds to loose, some of them have even started making excuses as to why we are not hanging out anymore and some have gained excessive amount of weight and look at me like I am crazy for going to the gym 5 days a week. I am just going to stay focus on my healthy and do me.

  13. The WLS is not all or nothing, black and white nor all good or all bad. Most is what you make of it and the rest is left to chance.

    Miss You Most / Don't Miss You at All

    From the standpoint of someone who had my first WLS in Feb. of 2008 (6.5 years ago) I've gotten over missing in anything over time. So whoever sees this, hopefully this will be true for you too. The fact is most will eventually be able to eat anything again, just in moderation. I purposefully avoid some foods because it triggers a bad response in me and moderation doesn't work. But, my life as a fit, thin woman was worth every up and every down I've been through.

    The Link Between Depression & Obesity

    I too suffer from clinical depression and anxiety. I do take medication for it and my psychiatrist has to watch me closely because it can increase appetite thus leading to me eating too much and as a result weight gain. Then as a result I become more depressed. My advice is for anyone who might even THINK they may be suffering from this deadly disease is to seek medical professional help immediately.
