I also have struggled a bit with chocolate, maybe you could try dark chocolate? its stronger so you eat less, I also drink sugar free hot chocolate,or sugar free fudge bars.best wishes to you! -

How Much Have You Lost So Far?
frenchvanilla replied to Great2BThin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have lost 53 pounds so far ,and i was banded on 6-26-08 ,I have lost it very slowly,but at least I never gained at all! i have 36 more pounds to go.Good luck yall! -
Not sure about that ,i was banded 6-26-08 and my port is still kinda sore to this day! My surgeon said that it is that way for some people but he said nothing was wrong with my port, best of luck to you!

I'm not down with BANDSTER HELL!
frenchvanilla replied to givempills's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went through a little hell,but i refused to give in and eat what made me fat to begin with, I have kept the mind set that I didnt go through all this to end up messing up and eating what i shouldnt.I will admit it isnt always easy,i have lost very slowlyyyyy! and get frustrated sometimes about it but i am so happy for the weight i have lost so far.just keep in mind it will pass. i think i went through more of a mourning of food than bandster hell ,food was my comfort all my life so for it to be taken away from me was traumatic at first...best wishes! -
Sorry I dont have blue shield,but i do have anthem blue cross HMO and they gave me no problems getting banded,it was really easy at least it was in my case,Good Luck

Exercise frequency
frenchvanilla replied to susannah's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I feel sooo bad reading everyones posts about exercise , i was banded June 2008 and so far have only lost 53 pounds. my diet is perfect i follow it to the "T" but i must admit i do not exercise,will i never lose the rest of the weight if i dont exercise? I have no energy most of the time or i guess i just dont like exercise anyways i feel like i am half ass doing this an i am mad at my self but i dont know how to even make myself work out, any tips from you guys would be great! i cant jog because i have a bad knee but any advise to get me motivated would be greatly appreciated! thanks all! -

Los Angeles Bandster looking for others
frenchvanilla replied to BrendaLH's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I live near Hollywood and would love to meet up with some fellow bandsters!! keep me posted -
LOL @ "band" I will keep that in mind, I talked to the doctors office this morning and they want me to come in and get a "slight" unfill . my last adjustment was on July 21st and they think it may be a little to light, not sure if i want any taken out though,maybe i can live on liquids and Protein shakes for awhile:bored:
