Great job hestie!

I am 23 as of friday! Woot. I was banded on 9/7 and have lost about 53 lbs.

I am down 50 lbs. How much are yall exercising at this point?

hi! B4 is me at 260 right before my surgery, the second is of me at 4.5 months out at 208

Down 45.5 lbs

When is your band date?!?!? I am still in the insurance apprival stage

I had my lapband put in on September 7th, 2007

I have not had my band yet but I am getting a little scared. I was doing a endosleeve trial with my band doctor for three months. I didn't get the device and didn't lose any wait but the nurse said that others without the device lost 30 lbs and that diet and exercise works. She made me feel like a failure for wanting to get the band so I held off. I am in limbo right now. Can anyone give me any advice. Does anyone regret having the band?!?!

Please help?!?!?:help::think:omg::help:

Hey, Dont let her make you feel like a failure. I have No regrets getting the lap band. It has helped me start living a normal life, I have lost 45 lbs and I feel so much better, I no longer take pills for high cholestorol, or for high blood pressure. I am more active in my life. Now this was in no way easy, It has taken lots of work. You can do it though if you put your mind to it! :whoo:

Here I am Before and at 2 months out. Down 40 lbs.

I was just saying last week that it feels like my shoes are getting too big.. My old TIght High Heels were falling off.

I had sushi this weekend.. Instead of getting all you can eat I ordered it alacarte, I got one roll and it went down great!

That was the best! I loved the skin pinned behind him... then when marge was like lets put this damp blanket away haha!

also I LOVED when he put the little piece of pizza in the blender and then said, everything tastes like barf now.. HAHHA

Hey sage.. My totals include the preop diet.

2 weeks befoer surgery I was 260, thats when I started my liquid diet... THen on the day of surgery I was 242.

I like to account for all my weight loss...

She told me the same thing. I felt no restriction or anything so the LD again was killin me, once It was done I just moved onto solids.. But I was very careful and chew chew chewed!..

You have done awesome purple. I am assuming your still in HS.. If so, how is that with the band.. Do you think its harder to focus...

I have no restriction :-( I wish I did.. I thought I felt it yesterday morning but it went away...

Go to My Virtual Model to make the virtual people its really neat. Congrats on the 13lbs already that is great!

You Looks great! Congrats

That is great!

Yes I have it... I am so weird that was the first thing I asked when I came out of surgery.

I was banded 2 months ago, and have lost 40 lbs! woot

:whoo: I have made it to 2 months out today! woot. It seems like just yesterday I was attending the Seminar and going through all the motions to just get approved. As of today I have lost 40 lbs. 5 were last month, Not as good as I anticipated but 40 lbs is outstanding:scared: I feel a million times better. Eating is no different then when I wasnt banded, other then that fact that I eat much less then before. Its great! I love my band!:kiss2:
