Today is my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of having this beautiful piece of plastic placed in me...... What a difference a year makes:
I'm at the gym SIX DAYS A WEEK !!!!!
My elliptical and I have a SIXTY-FIVE MINUTE affair every day !!!!!!
I eat like a NORMAL PERSON !!!!!!
I LOOK like a NORMAL PERSON !!!!!!
My BLOOD PRESSURE has been in the 107/72 range whenever taken !!!!!!!
My SOCIAL LIFE is phenomenal !!!!!!!!!
I wear a size 12 pant, a size 12 dress, and a Large shirt !!!!!!
I buttoned and zippered my daughter's high school uniform skirt that she wore five years ago (cleaning out her closet after she moved out last month and I couldn't resist trying it on)!!!!!!!
I weigh less than I did on my wedding day 26 years ago !!!!!
I had the added pleasure of watching my husband become a HEALTHYNEW ME...... He's lost 60 pounds and is at the gym six days a week too!!!!!!
I've met so many wonderful people on this forum...... I had the pleasure on meeting in person GoWalking and LisaCaron and I have spoken on the phone with Rebeccaabrooks86.
Can you tell that I'm in love with my band?????

I know exactly how you feel. I was banded in July. I am STARVING!!! I eat a lot Protein, drink a lot of Water and stay out of the kitchen. It has been challenging. But seeing the numbers go down on the scale makes it all worth it. Hang in there.

Hi fellow lap-banders,
I am 4 weeks post-op. I have lost 30 lbs thus far. I am STARVING!!!! I go to bed with my stomach growling. I cannot wait for my first fill. Has anyone else had this problem? I am following the diet plan that was given to me by my doctor's office to the "T". Drinking 60 oz. of Water daily. I also have been having a burning/stinging sensation around my port. Has anyone else felt that?
