WOW!!!! gkeyt you look terriffic!!!!

ok linda_lu your updated

me too.... but then again chicken was always my first pick when it came to meat... lol:lol:

Ya, weight-loss is a major help in the pcos area.. by dr. goal is to lean me off the birth control the closer to goal and see if i regulate a little more... she says she would be happy with 1 period every 3 months..

i cant handle the heavy meats like steak and pork chops... i think i may just try that recipe with chicken or turkey:rolleyes2: i think it would be good

everyone up to Mamato3 is updated... Including myself the scale is moving again!!!! Yay!!!!:smile2:

I didn't know i had pcos until i went 10mths without a period post-op.... i was never regular before banding but i just thought every 3-4mths for one period was normal for me... so now the only way i get a period regularly is if im on birth control:blushing:

I would try to explain to them the whole procedure and how it works.. Show them the animation on lap band.com or eve show them this board. Like i know now first hand that if i don't want to watch how i intake my calories i will not lose and i will possibly gain... the band is a tool to control portions... but does not distinguish between healthy good for you foods and bad high cal jun foods... that is complete will power and you still need to exercise like everyone should be getting... I admit nobody's perfect and i could have probably lost more weight i didn't have those occasional slip-ups... a But i am damn proud of my 82.5 lbs i have lost and im almost a year out... I think you will do great.. and hope to have you join the bandwagon soon enough... Best of luck to you, Jeni M.:thumbup:

Awesome Juli!!!! You look fabulous!!!:thumbup:

dont worry it is normal give it a couple of months... if yours still worrid talk to your doctor

Finally, broke that dang plateau the scale is moving again!!!! I'm now at 205!!!!! 6 more pounds hopefully by March 27...my birthday ... it will be the best birthday ever if i hit onelander!!!!:thumbup:

My PCP was against it. and "doesn't believe in weight-loss surgery" but now she is completely thrilled with my results:biggrin:

JOHNSON AND JOHNSON MEDICATED BABY powder works wonders... im having the same issue and im only a little over 1/2 way to goal

YA ... a couple weeks ago i came out of my friends bathroom with my shirt up saying that my belly button is now a sad belly button:lol:my friend was drinking something AND COMPLETELY SPIT IT OUT BECAUSE SHE COULDNT HELP BUT LAUGH It went from a nice round circle to a frown... lol .. gotta love the hanging skin:eek:

Sorry for not updating in a while... i have been so busy between work and school i had no time to come on... But everyone up to ms. hazel are updated.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!:thumbup:

new thread for us marchies http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f90/marchies-bandiversary-month-54227/#post743373

Wow!!! Can you believe we have gotten this far already.. It seems just like yesterday we were just starting our journeys with much anticipation and a little bit scared... But look at us now.. Here's to the start of our second year; Hopefully it will be as successful as our first... Thank you to my fellow Marchies for all you support.. I know we can help each other through the rest of our journey.. Best of luck to you all and CONGRATULATIONS on all of your Success!!!:thumbup: And HAPPY 1YR. BANDIVERSARY EVERYONE!!!! -Jeni

I have a screw in my ankle:huh2: and they said that shouldnt effect me in any way....

. Hopefully all goes well.... and everything is alright... Hope to hear from you soon banding buddy!!! :thumbup:

Thank you Juli for the encouragement... I am definitely thrilled with how much i have lost so far and at this point ill be happy to lose 1lb... But i realized one thing the past 3-4 wks i have been struggling i have stopped using the birth control which was helping regulate my periods due too PCOS... so i think maybe my body just flipped out... Im seeing my doctor tommorow so i can go back on the pill ... so im asuming things will go back to normal... But i had a great day today food wise and exercise wise... My personal trainer kicked my butt (like im paying him to do) but im so happy he did... im going to start looking at inches lost... because he has me doing a lot of strength training.... But enough about that... Im happy with how far i have com so far.. I would have never been able to do this without the help from my band... TammyJ... i hope all works out well for you... I actually was having so heartburn and reflux problems as well and changed my diet around .. turns out it was the food not the band... Best of luck and let us know how things turn out.... Janine... I'm so sorry to hear about your band...:blushing: but things will be ok.. just stick to the new habits you have learned from your band and you should be fine.. It may be hard but we will all be here if you need the support!!!:wub:

thanks juli i never did weigh my foods... i guess i could try that...

80 pounds = the Worlds Largest Ball of Tape

good luck with the tt... let us know how it goes

Is anyone as crazy as me to hire a personal trainer... They really do try to kill every muscle in your body...and help you discover new muscles you never knew you had:scared2:

are you kidding me??!?!?!... It does to me... your only 3mths postop... and big difference But then again it takes a while for your mind o catch up with the weight loss... if you dont mind me asking... how much have you lost??
