Hey Brubear,
Hows that baby of yours thats not quite a baby anymore lol!! I am struggling to get the last 30lbs off from having my son and he will be 2 in July. Thats my goal. How about you?
-
You "old Timers" are all coming out of the wood work. I guess I'll come out too!!!
Still have the band but I'm not to impressed. I still struggle every darn day!!

This should not be a problem. The port is hardly noticable and it doesnt stick out or anything. You have to press your belly to feel it.
Good Luck

Linda,
just google low glycemic eating plan. Im doing the plan for Lifestyles transitions but its just based on Low glycemic eating. I can tell you that I was a SERIOUS candy eater. Like a 1lb a week of gummys and I dont even crave them anymore. I used to eat a gallon and 1/2 of icecream a week but not anymore. It feels like a plan that you could live with. Lots of veggies some fruit and Protein. Pretty much anything in its natural form not packaged. Of course I still eat a cookie here and there but Im not like attacking people for a donut like I used to. I have been losing 2 lbs a week and lost 5 on the 3 day detox. This week on wednesday the 27th I get my offical body fat loss and can let you know if you are interested in the figures.

Hi Girls,
I just wanted to say hi and to tell you all that Im on this low glycemic eating plan with no flour, sugar, artificial sweetners and Im doing really good. I have lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks and I have gotten rid of most of my cravings. Yes, it was tough at first and I did a 3 day detox where I only ate veggies and fruit but it seems to be working. Im back in my smallest size pants and Im actually looking forward to weigh myself these days!

Cynthia,
Glad to hear you doing great. Im jealous :wink3:. This band is so fickle and hard to manage. I cant seem to drop any weight!
-
How are you girls doing with the sleeve??? IS it worth it, any great success?
-
So did we make it through Christmas and The New Year??? I put on a few but am trying really hard to get it off again.
-
I cant believe I missed all this chatter. Im thinking about the sleeve too. Will he just let me switch or what?

Here's an update on my 1cc fill. So far I have only gained weight since my appt Tuesday. Why is it junk food goes down so easy?? Also I keep forgetting not to eat first thing in the morning b/c I get stuck so easy than have to bring it up. Ughh. Also the people at my work will not stop bringing in junk cake,cookies, donuts. There killing me I have no willpower!
-
Wow Vicki some appt. Glad I got to see you in person but I had to get back to work so I couldnt stick around. I was reading about the sleeve in the room and it sounds interesting, but I sure dont know much about it. I think hoff is right, you and the band have not really gotten along that great. Maybe you have a body that will do better with the sleeve. Keep us posted!!!
P.S.- I got 1cc in today and am up to 5.6. It seems to be really doing the trick im pretty full from a small amount of food

Im back! No more pregnancy excuses. I need to lose some weight! So I need to lose about 35lbs to get back to where I was last year at this time ughh!! Ive been trying but its just not coming off. On Sept 7th I went in and got a fill of .25 and it really hasnt done much.
Has anyone just called and gone in for a fill? I always wait for my appt but this time its not until the end of November.
Hers a picture of my little cutie...worth every pound

Veronica, Id be interested in coming.
-
I also had the same fear and unfortunetly its coming true for me I have 7 weeks left and I have gained @ 50+ lbs. I just hope that its easier to get off this time. I also eat what ever I want and have little to no restriction. Good luck!

Hi Dawn,
Im pretty sure that everyone posts under Dr Hoffman even if banded by Posner. Its seems like everyone that was banded at Buff General uses that forum. I think it just makes it easier to keep track of all of us. Feel free to join us on the Hoffman side!
-
Id totally go to the picnic. Not sure about the Baby Im due 7/27!
-
I would say Im pretty happy with it. Of course its not as easy as you think its going to be. It is a big pain in the ass, but it definitely helps you lose weight. I just wish it wasnt so fickle. Why can you eat one thing one day and be fine and the next your in the bathroom for hours???
I would not go crazy recommending it but for some it is a real life saver without it you just know they would never have lost the weight.
-
So honestly.....
Who after getting the lap band would recommend it to friends and family???
I would love to hear everyones opions on this, it seems to me that its more trouble than its worht and I dont even have the problems that some of you ladies have encountered.
Let me know!!!!!!!!!!
-
Veronica,
I hope your appts at 8am so you can be out by 1pm hahaha!
-
I hope Dr Hoff's office can help me figure this out. I haven't been late since I had my daughter eight years ago. It would be a good thing if I was .Wow Bugs thats some interesting news. I hope it all turns out the way you want. Good Luck!
-
I think that would be fun Veronica. A lap band picnic. We can all PB in your bushes!!!!
