Has anyone lost more than 60 lbs?
I have lost 105 pounds it sound like your too tight. Sometimesyou find yourself eating easier food but it may be higher in calories. I lost 100 pounds in 10 months. Its possible.

Pregnant BEFORE lap-band??
I really dont think so, in fact I had to give urine in pre-op to make sure I was not pregnant about an hour before surgery.

What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!
one of my co wworkers said that locing weight with a lap-band is not the "real way" to loseweight. Shes about 200 pounds fatter than me. Maybe her fat isnt real fat.

I am not 'fat' enough??!!!

alli anyone??
I am now taking phentermine, to curb my cravings, with the band. Sure the band controls food portions, but I am a junk food junkie and was always craving sweets. It has really helped with my sweets addiction bcause I just dont want it now. Im not saying its for everybody, but even with the lap band I still was finding it hard

need a push?
Eat low carb, you will lose weight so much faster. I know a person who eats smaller amounts of food, but not low carb and shes losing very slow. Low carb is difficult for some people, just modify it for yourself.
-
Pasta?
I only eat a can eat a small amount of spaghetti, it fills me up very quickly. Like 2 or 3 forkfulls. I love baked mac n cheese, so I really miss eating alot of that.

Need Advice, Please help
It is comforting to have someone with you when you wake up. But I wanted my lapband so bad that I wasn't worried about who was there. The anesthesia makes you really groggy after surgery, so that you are sleeping. You will probaly need for someone to pick you up though. Waiting to june is so long away, you could lose like 70 pounds by then. If it was me I would just go.
