Ms.AntiBand

I had 3 + weeks off and after the first week I was so antsy to ge back to work. I didn't, but boy was I fit to be tied. Luckily, it was Christmas time so more to keep my mind busy. Good luck .. Every one is different

I think it depends. My Cordinator Trish, went beyond any Cordinator I've ever experienced, and I've had plenty. She became not only the medical Cordinator, but the tour Cordinator, the christain Cordinator, the PS Cordinator and much much more. Once home we sent a $100 restaurant gift Certificate to her and her family. She spent 4 full days with us and they deserved it.

"... and the next thing you know the topic has gone way off of what it was originally meant to be. " Nah... That never happens, wait what was the original post about anyway? Ok ok.. Just kidding!

Are you saying anything with lactose bothers you or just milk?

Congrats.. Glad you're doing fairly well! Good luck

Dang.. That the nicest compliment I've ever gotten. Thanks!

Leave it to us women to be crashing the men's room. And yes, YOU TOO LAURA.. I know you've been yakkin' in there.. Cause I was there, too

Great job.. You're the encouragement we appreciate! Thank you for sharing

Oh oh.. Does that mean we're not to go in the men's room? I didn't realize that it was that serious.. Oops! I learned

I'm normally hour glass shape, but something happened during this time of losing weight. Maybe, it's my age and everything just headed south

Yes, there are. Just like drs here in the states, the drs there are not going to do a procedure on someone that is a risk. If I would have gone down prior to completing my 18 month healing period they would have told me no. Thank God! If you're healthy you don't need to worry

Nope, I'm not EMBARASSED, ashamed nor do I lie to others. I just don't tell them.

Are you sure you need to have a BM? If you're only eating a fraction of what you ate prior to surgery, you're not going to be digesting enough to warrant a daily BM. Could be a day or more before your system finds it necessary to eliminate things. Just a thought.

When they told me I had to wait months between band and sleeve I did the food overdose. The months turned into 18 due to band damage and I gained 86lbs. If I could do it over?.. Yeah, I'd probably eat just as bad again. For me it took myself to become totally disgusted with food and myself before I wrapped my mind around the fact I had to change. Before I had to start my pre-op I was so sick of food I couldn't even think of eating and so I started the pre-op early. My journey has been perfect since then. I guess everyone is different and has to find their individual way of doing this the right way ... for themselves.

Bwahahaha .. Bikini pic share yours!?! Me? Um ..yeah, NO. that won't be happening in my life time, but thanks ;D You look awesome and congrats at such great progress

It took me a long time to see my own loss. I didn't even wear difference size pants until after 40 pounds.

Sooo exciting! Great job..

I think your loss is pretty normal. Hang in there

Heh.. I can tell your happier! I know after I hd a reduction it made me so much more slimmer looking AND HAPPIER! I just wish I hadn't waited so long and had it done in my 20's Congrats on your progress and ENJOY!

I didn't have any pain post-op so I slept like a new born pup. Everyone is different though. Good luck!

Hey.. Dontcha know fat people are funny!

LOL.. I just texted my daughter this morning complaining that I think I've lost 45 lbs above the hips.

Ain't it awesome! Nobody doesnt like Laura.. Ok, well maybe a couple don't, but that's ok 'cause I don't Like them either so all's cool

Yep.. Ditto on what they said

I'm now hooked on Dasani drops. Pineapple coconut flavor... Love it!
