I vote old clothes. There's nothing better than fitting into a favorite piece again

Alright , I wasn't an angel but better than I've been, so it's dinner (grilled chicken and green beans with a left over salad and I'm taking the dog on a walk. I have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear! I will get on a scale some time this week but not today...... And call the surgeon's office... blah

The first one was taken right before I was banded and the second one was at about 9 months out. I have the band replaced in April of 09 the tubing disconnected from the band so there was no restriction and hence the bad habits were already well underway:(:scared2:

Hey we should start a secret society of lap band - WW members. Are you guys core or flex????? Julie you are a brave soul.... How did the leader take it. I will come clean after I hit goal

Thanks for replying....I thought I was the only crazy girl that's doubling up on the support. How long have you been with WW after the band???? I love the trinkets and the milestones from WW. I love the challenge of keeping track and the leader for this meeting is very entertaining. Hubby and I are doing WW together (he is not banded) and together we have lost 50 lbs in 9 weeks. Me 20 :biggrin: The learning to make better choices is the ticket, I never had. shakes and high carbs slide right down that band. If they could have invented something to make me hate chocolate, I would be better off.

Anyone else going???..... I haven't told anyone in the group I am banded yet. I lost 70 gain 20 with the band, then lost 15 of the 20 regained and now I'm down 19 with weight watchers. I never really learned how to make good food choices with the band alone. I'm 15 pounds to my first goal and I'm chugging along? I'm rethinking my aggressive goal of 155 Anyone else in the same boat??

Elisa, He is an excellent surgeon. Check with NYS licensure department to see if he has ever had a problem, I don't think so. I found after adjusting to life with the band and a life long commitment the hard part . I went to Mercy hospital in RVC, they have a whole floor of bariatric patients. Good Luck
