I have feet pain also omg i cant wait till that is gone

So I went in and weighed at 224, I know this isnt fat cause i havent went to the potty in a few days. I gotta be 226 to qualify. So Im and going to buy some ankle weights. and go that route. Also the great news is that they no longer to the nutritionalist fee of 725. You only have to pay 300 dollars for the two week liquid diet shakes if you even have to be on the liquid diet at all. I dont think I have to be on that thankfully. So Ill be back this Thursday with ankle weights and a smile on my face cause I know Ill make it this time.

Kellie

congrads, i felt the same way scared and needed a shot the first time but they didnt do it for me and i chikend out THis time im making them give it to me

many thousands of “right choices” that have to be made to be successful with the Lapband journey **** I love how you put this in to words..

okay so I went on this lunch cruise in Wash DC today. on the Spirit of Washington. Its a buffet thingy. I went with this guy Ive been talk to for afew months and it was great. Soo the foood wasssssssssss out standing, buttttttt I stopped eatting way before I was ready! I was to embarrassed to finish you guys know what Im talking about and the whole time I was thinking ugh if i had this surgery I would stop at a normal persons rate ugh ugh im so tired of this embarrament.. The dessert well i ate half of it when i wanted it all. But I saw that I was the only one who touched it ugh ugh I need this crap sooo badly...

LOL ankle weights lol great idea lol lol Ill be back monday to weight in. Just when i get this done Im going to have to pull out a loan for the nutritionalist fee of 725. That way i can be assured Ill have it..

Girl, Be careful I was in that same situation my bmi was at 35.8 and that was with 3 pound leg weights lol and i vowed to make that bmi girl I went back 6 weeks later and you wont belive i managed to get myself to 41 bmi with ni weights omg i could have just died and by the time my surgery date (4 months later) I gained 30 pounds I didnt even see that coming. I ate everything in site I guess sub consiously I thought since I had such a low bmi I thought hell i am ok and by the time i got my date you could push my forehead and order and i would produce it hahaha. I am now 2 1/2 months post surgery and i am just losing that weight. Dsm if only I would have maintained my weight I would have been ok it made my journey just that much harder. Be careful use the ankle weights it will take you to 40 bmi just dont do too many of those wendy stops. Good Luck, Michelle

At least i know im not the only one. I am going back to the doc to weight in monday.. Ill be there this time i know it..

Oh man! I am afraid that is what is going to happen to me next week. I am really fluctuating, but am eating non stop to put on 5 pounds in a few days before I reweigh. I actually weighed a roll of quarters to see how much a few of those in my pocket (bra?) would help. Just a little less than 1 lb. My cell is only 3 oz. Go for some keys and rolled coins in your pockets!

whats your stomach need to heel if there isnt any cutting except for the skin insicions?

This is a time for healing. Gets lots of protein in, walk, and walk , drink some more, walk, drink. You wont have time to think about food. The extra protein helps heal. The sutures in your band to outer tummy wall need to heal, no lifting over 5lbs. The band needs to get set and thne that will make your journey much better down the road.

good luck please be detailed you will be the first perosn to fallow from day one !!! details details

LOL Im sure you can sneek a pic of the buffet, just make it look like your texting. I thought of this on the spur of the moment eatting and thinking of the surgery et cetera.. Im going to do it along with every fill the food i order and then how much is left on myplate that i cant eat...

yeah really this is why I need a restriction ya think?

wow that was great omg omg i really needed that and will returne to read again in hard times

I got a call from the dr's office this morning saying that I dont have to restart over, i just need to re weigh in. Then go from there. NOW the biggie is my mom had a turn of fate temporarily. She said kellie I know you can do this on your own. You went from 264 to 215 with just eatting out of a coffee cup! Well so that got my hopes up again and Ive been doing just that this past week. I was weighin in at 211 but i think thats just cause im considered empty. lol So now that this ball is rolling again Im really trying to fight from the idea of i can do it on my own. This has happend to me twice and well I never made it on my own Im still in the two hundreds. Has any one felt like this before?

I love that abby quoate im going to use it cause i have some nosey asss ppl in my job... love you guys banders are banded togeather

If I was having a hysterectomy (no shame in that right?) I still wouldnt tell people. Maybe I would say I was having some minor surg. People know and ask too much about people it seems. I can't tell you how many people have asked me why I have only one child and I can hear the judgement in their voices! Dear Abby once said when someone asks you something you dont want to answer you should say. "Oh' date=' I'm SURE you dont want me to answer something SO personal!" It really puts the shame back on them where it belongs for asking!!!

But for those who are telling all , go for it I respect that too! Cali[/quote']

To cute to read, im sooo glad for you girl go get them...

its not about shame that we dont tell ppl, its about being judged by those who dont have a nose to but in to it with you know? Cause you will be the talk for ever!! I know ppl who had this done years ago and is still talked about... I dont want that, to survive in this world with less drama is to stay out of the spot light and im deffinatly not adding my self to the spot light..

I keep reading and agreeing, and feeling more and more better about this decision. Mom agrees also that this is right for me. She says this every day on the phone Kellie you work out so much and love sports but your eatting is to much and it hold you back from the weight loss. This is going to do the trick for you, i want you so badly to lose this weight before you have a family and kids to feel like a girl your age should sexy and confident. BRB gotta go to another computer lol

I understand completely where you are coming from. What is the band good for if you still have to diet and exercise? I think it is important to understand before you are banded what this will mean for you.

First of all' date=' you WILL have to diet and exercise just like with any other weight loss program. I exercise every day for at least 40 minutes. Without burning the fat, you will not lose the weight.

Of course, everyone loses in the beginning (1st month) but after that it is up to you. I have been banded for 2 1/2 months but almost half of my 42 pound weight loss came in the two week pre-surgery liquid diet.

For some people, the band makes them feel full but not all of us get that "sweet spot". I have good restriction but I never get a full feeling (like I did when I used to eat half a pizza...haha)! Instead, if I eat too fast or too much, my pouch gets clogged and the food gets stuck. The pain usually ends the meal.

I am a snacker, especially with sweets, and the lapband is difficult for people like me. If I wanted to, I could eat a package of cookies. They never get stuck. I have to make an effort to stay away from those foods.

I have heard that the lapband works best for people like you who eat big meals but don't snack a lot between them.

As a tool, I think the lap band would be excellent in controlling portion size ONCE the weight is lost (I eat much less now than I did before) but in the actual process of dropping the pounds, the lapband is like any other weight loss program. You have to work to take off the fat.

I am happy I did the lapband because I needed something drastic to kick me in the butt and get me moving but this is not gastric bypass. You will not lose weight by just sitting there and watching it fall off you. The lapband is a much slower and healthier way to lose.

Hope I haven't confused you further.[/quote']

your right no one else's biz

I have decided im not telling any one, except for my mother, neice, closest friend in florida and maybe my boss if it comes down to it.. When I was going to do this the first time i talked about it and alll the nay sayers was out spoken and had advice. Funny how ppl are all about speaking their minds about something they never delt with" skinny ppl" also funny how they can talk behind your back and not say one word of it either.. Your right to say use this as a tool to help you get through it. As of right now only 4 ppl know of it, one of which is really heavy at my work and thinking it over her self. Im going to keep it a secret by saying im on vacation with my mom, and hopfully i wont be in pain to the point i cant do my walks and wear my gun belt at work after a few days. I dont think I will have a problem. BUt how do you cover up that you finally are loseing this weight after so long of a battle???

Im in VA by DC but that is still a drive when u start working out pick up the weights and keep in the 15 reps range for 3 sets
