  1. Happy 42nd Birthday zabrim!

  2. Happy 41st Birthday zabrim!

  3. Hi Mrs_Mauricio , maybe I need another fill , I have the realize band and so far I have had 4 fills. I don't eat the same as a used to as far as quantity but I will take your advise about staying away from bread , that is my weakness especially italian, actually anything italian, lol. Thanks for responding to my email. I definitely need to start working out again. Good luck! Zabrina

  4. well to tell you the truth, my weight loss is slow going. but that is my fault. i am in school full time and work full time and have kids, blah blah u know the story so basically i have been working out none-minimal. if i would have the time to work out it really would increase my weight loss. i know when i do get into the habit it comes off faster. as far as what i am eating....i drink a protein shake in the morning. i dont have any bread or pastas (doesnt go down my band anyways). i like to eat any kinds of beans and protein meat like chicken or tuna togther. i eat alot of soups (usually progresso, they seem to taste the best to me). anyway before, i hated really eating healthy. but i have found stuff in all of these catagories that cater to my preferences (italian and mexican flavors). and really, when you feel sick and crappy after eating stuff you should't, it makes it motivation to stay away from the bad foods.

  5. Hi Mrs. Mauricio, You look great , I was banded in march 2009 but my first fill was june 2009. I was 285 and now I am only 255 , what I wanted to know what are you eating and do you exercise? Congrats on your weight loss. Zabrina

    hi heathierme, I still have soreness , dont laugh but i havent figured out where my port is yet, lol. Sometimes , I feel like it might have slipped because I dont feel anything , but i was told that you know when you have had a slip because of the pain and nauesa. The weighing , dont feel bad , i weigh myself three times a day , when i wake up , again around 6pm and right before bed , go figure .

    I got my lapband on march 10 , so far I only lost 15 pounds :mad2: and to make matters worst my insurance told me that I had to reapply because it was only good for six months :thumbdown: . Now I can't get my first fill until much later , I am so depressed about that but I going to still try to do whats right but its hard :cursing:, wish me luck.
