  1. Happy 43rd Birthday erikadawn!

  2. 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.

    February '09 bandsters?

    Congrats, I got my surgery February 2008, Best decision I ever made.
  7. My mom had her gastric done there. I live in Delaware so I went to CHRIAS
  8. 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.

    When to stop losing weight- BMI?

    I would stop when I felt satisfied with it. I am down to 160 pounds and every one at work is always trying 2 feed me.

    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.
