  1. Sick and tired of being SICK AND TIRED!!! 
    DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET A LAP BAND! 
    It has been my worst nightmare everrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! 
    Why oh why did I do this to myself ????

      revision is the way to go. You will never be so happy as the day you get that puppy out! My RNY is the best decision ever, band was the worst.

  2. Haven't been here for a while.. So let me catch you all up.  As you all know I lost my band in March.  Still hanging around 150... but I do need to get to the gym.  Still in the 4-6 size jeans...

    I quit my job in Houma and moved to Madison, Ms.  Wasn't expecting to get a job so quick.  Went on Three interviews on a Friday and got Three job offers.  So I took the best one for me.

  3. I am concerned about excess skin after weight loss. I need to lose 90 lbs. - can someone tell me how you deal with it and what to do, if anything?

      with only 90 lbs to lose it may not be an issue for you.  when I was banded more than a decade ago I didn't have a skin issue.  This time around i will because I gained even more weight, am older, had a baby etc.   am down about 80 lbs.  still not an issue but I have 30-40 to go and i can see that i may have loose skin then above my c-section scar.  at this point I am not going to worry about it. I may look into a tummy tuck...may not, will not worry about it until I ge there.

  4. One week down on my pre-op diet and already my weight loss has stalled. Not sure if that's normal or not.

      So you lost no weight in the second week? that is unusual for it to be zero for a whole seven days in a preop. but what Jamie says is true. if you aren't truly stalled, but dropping in fits and spurts that is normal. don't expect to drop every day, that is unlikely. if you haven't lost anything for a whole week then you are stalling. weight loss usually looks like a set of stairs, not a down slop.

  20. Why if I am only getting in 700-800 Calories and about 83g protein I am still straving?

    1. Travelher

      Travelher

      your profile shows that you are a year out from surgery...those calories look waaay to low for that stage. I"m at 3 months and between 750 and 950. most people a year out are between 1000 and 1200 a day. also are you eating snacks. I know some people have been told to only eat meals and no snacks in between which is crazy imo.

  22. My dietician told me to double my carbs...makes me anxious so close to onederland as I'll probably stall, but gonna have to take one for the team...

  23. Wednesday the 28th started out like any other day. Went to work got off at 5, went to go clean a hunting camp (because im financially challenged and needed the money). Did my thing and cleaned till 10:30pm. This camp is no "ordinary" hunting camp... it has 8 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. the only way to get to it is via boat... so i take a 10 min ride there and back. I also do the laundry at my home, so i was carrying one of the tots to the boat to go home. Walked to the dock, placed the tote on the dock, placed foot on the boat to get in.... Foot slips from under me and i end up taking a swim along with my phone... I managed to swim back to the dock and pulled myself out of the bayou. I kept seeing Betty White and her damn alligators in my mind. Thank God i still don't weight 230#, i would have never been able to do that. But i did and managed to bruise every limb of my body (and ego) and pulled a muscle in my right boob...(duct tape dub). It's been over a week and im just starting to feel better. NOTE TO SELF: never go to the dock alone again

  24. This past weekend i bought some some 4 a.n.a Jeggings and im thinking i could have bought the "0".. Holy Moly.. Never thought i would EVER say that again
