Happy One Year Anniversary - August All Stars
Shamrockgirl60 replied to GaryB's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey can understand now losing the last 20 pounds slowly. I will do the same. I am happy with my loss for the year. Most people don't even recognize me now. And it's so much fun getting "normal sized" clothing. Congratulations to everyone on the one year anniversary we all did so well it's wonderful. -
Congratulations. I will most likely hit my goal next summer. I am taking it slow and steady till then concentrating on eating healthy and toning up the flab more.

Hi, finally made it into the 140's. This past few months have been hard. Not losing as much, changing Insurance so that now we have $1000 deductible each. So waiting a month or so for another fill. Still have good restriction. Watching what I eat also. But occasionally eating some good stuff...like lobster. I think now just a pound at a time is good. I fit into size 11/10 stuff now so I am happy. Toning up a bit more with the slow loss. I will be happy if I hit 130 by next summer. I am just going one day at a time now. Eating healthy. I hope everyone is doing well. I will check in here more often now that summer is almost over. take care all Pati

Been a crazy busy summer and haven't been here much. Not lost a lot of weight but 20 pounds from goal. Today my 1 year anniversary and I am feeling great. I am just taking it one day at a time. Must call for another fill soon. Having good restriction but want a bit better. Got to get the last 20 lbs. off by next March. Another grandbaby is one the way. We are very happy. Miss C is growing like a weed and I am having so much fun taking care of her. I hope all you August 2008 bandsters are doing well. This year flew by. take care Pati

Hi I didn't speak at Lahey I was at the July meeting and everyone spoke. Today is my one day anniversary. Wow went by fast. Didn't meet my goal but still 80 lbs. is fine for now. Losing about 2 lbs. a month now and eating very healthy. I will call Corrinne about speaking at the September big meeting. take care glad your surgery went well. you will feel better soon. I have been so busy this summer haven't been on the board much.

Hi Pati, Did you speak the other night at Lahey? I am so sad I missed it. My surgery got moved up to Monday June 29. I stayed over one night. I probably should have stayed two. I have thrown up so much. I went to the hospital today. To get checked out. They are trying me on a different protein drink to see if I can keep that down. I am hoping with all your wisdom you may have something to say to me that will make me feel better. I found out I have the Allergan Lap Band Max 10cc and I currently have 2 cc in it already! I am surprised at that. I was unable to attend the June 30 lecture I hope all went well can you fill me in. i would love to hear all about it. Hope all is well. imaluckydog Kathy

Just make sure not to drink through a straw that is one big no no for banded people. I would stay away from potato or cheddar soup because of the calories. -

Try to stay as liquid as you can, Water down the food till it's petty liquid(y) use a blender. Gradually over time let the food get mushier. I was on mostly liquid for 4 weeks before the mushier stuff. Cambless "Sip a Soup" tomato is good too -

It's only been a few days, I had nausea problems and had meds. One thing I liked about where I had my surgery is they keep you overnight and give anti-nausea meds intravenously. I think that helped a great deal. I ended up allergic to soy Protein drinks gave me the "trots" and upset my tummy. I am fine now. I just don't particularly like soy products. Clear beef and chicken broth, warm not too hot are soothing and green tea is good also. It goes away in a week or so after surgery. So don't worry you will feel so much better in a week or two. -
I may readjust my July 4th goal...but I will try to be in the high 140's I had a few weeks with no loss at all and now I am losing again. My last fill seems to be real close to the sweet spot. One more fill might do it. Have to call for an appointment in July for it. Got into some very skinny purple jeans I got at Christmas. Very happy they are a size 13 but smaller than my size 11-12 jeans. Very skinny legs on them, I couldn't even get them up a month ago past my knees LOL now they fit (tight) and I can button them up and even sit in them....have to take a pic this week. Everyone is doing great, I say slow and steady now wins the race. As long as your losing your a winner right......
