slimmy120

My port sticks out, and it sticks out more and more now is on my waist line, my specialist said unlike your one told you that the more i lose the more noticeable, and yep you can see it more and more,lost 67lb so far.

I tend to get bad heartburn, especially in the morning if i take my vitamins without enough food, but today had the tiny tiny chilli sauce, never again,but took antacid tablet and went away in minutes,will always keep in my bag now.

Sades we have vitually the same amount to lose in the end I started 102kg want to get to 63-64, i had my opp 18 sep 2007,have lost 34kilos so far,but in the same months as you are now, lost the same as you, i think you will get there sooner than expected, but even if it takes longer,it definately did not take us as quick to get big,our patience will get us there.

I come from australia, milo is found next to the tea and coffee, it is like little chocolate granuals and people normally make a drink with or without milk in it,hot or cold. it is made by nestle.

Has anyone had breast lifted,no silican or saline put in, I dont like the idea that puting saline or silican in you will need to replace in 15 to 20 years, I had a friend whos ruptured,one did and looked mightly strange.

I got banded 18 sep 2007, am 68lbs down now,and yes it feels wonderful, not being the biggest person in the room,being called slim,getting regular clothes. Good on you,we can get to goal, I have 26 to 28 lbs to go.

Will have to look into the liquid b12 and patches.

It is reassuring that not only I have noticed differences then, must be to do with the vitamins or weightloss then.

Try milo to eat,have a teaspoon or two straight from the can,i have taken to eating mixed nuts and dried fruit,as is my time of the month now and crave sweets too. but i really really love eating the milo.

Has anyone else noticed that after losing 67lbs my last two monthlies have been super heavy. yours the same??

Yep when you lose weight your shoes start to flop.

My surgeon told me would not need to take vitamins, but i have been taking multivitamin and calcium, and no hair loss, nails nice and hard.

Spoke to doctor today, he said does not think there is a problem,and to see him as planned, but come in immediately if hurts. Thanx. I am concentrating everyday to eat health.

Will ring my doctor explain when he was suppose to see me, and see what he thinks.

My surgeon said not to snack just 3 meals a day, but most days i have 1 or two healthy snacks,other banisters have been told to snack. My surgeon said do not eat breakfast if not hungry, other surgeons say you must have something at breakfast.

My port always sticks up and moves when i lye down, but today instead of the square bit on the top it was half way turned to feel like a circle, looked like it looks when i roll over when lying down. I pushed it back to the flat position it normally at, did my port flip, jave lost 67 kilos since having it put in sep 2007? i go back end of may to see surgeon, should i ring him and try and get in urgently? it doesnt hurt or anything??

I have like bad indigestion paid means, need to stop and then reasess means normally eating to fast and if keep going blahh out it will come, but when i am full have like a lump feeling in my throat, or having feeling oh no no more food if it is my mind telling me,and would really have to force myself to eat more.

I am in Perth, I tried optifast before considering lap banding, and ah could not stick to it, i am not a milkshake person, i know people who lost weight on optifast and did it strictly for weeks .

A glass of low fat milk drunk slowly works for me --- i ever chuck everything or the burning is 99% gone.Let me know if works for you worked for me and my friends.

Wow,well you must be doing something right too -- you lost heaps keep going, I have30lbs to go.

I keep asking myself why are some people on pre op diets, me and 4 other friends have all had done in australia and were on no liquid diet before, and were all on a liquid and mushy foods straight after the op for 1 month.Yet i have another friend who consulted a surgeon to get it done, no pre op diet, and she will be on 6 weeks liquid and 3 weeks mushies after that. this puzzels me. Well my surgeon must of told me something which agreed with my weightloss 67lb since sep 2007,very minimual excercise -- but feel so much better going to tackel the excercise.

Well graceutah seems nuts havent affected the weightloss and others eating them too, so will snack on nuts limiting to 200cal,thats why i buy the small packets so know exactly how much i have had.

Let us know the results of why you taking them ,i very tired had iron and blood tests and doctor said i did not need them.

yep this is a great,helpful site.

I was reading in the american chronical that lapbanders need their multivitamin and calcium everyday, and the ones who have had gastric bypass also need vitamin b12 and iron daily. Gosh got to remember the tablets daily,no excuses now!!
