slimmy120

I am experiencing exactly the same, so will keep checking this post.I am eating sensible stuff, and yes i have mainly chicken or fish and veges or salad for dinner.

Yuck those protein drinks, i have fresh strawberries and skim milk , or bannana and skim milk in blender, try adding some malt -- yum and not as many calories as in those yuc yuck shakes.Give it a try and let me know.

Why is it for first week after fill you eat very little and then .......

mmh that makes med definately think twice now, as my fatty bit is around thighs - but hey realistically can cover up and only my partner sees that bit, and with clothes on have curves in the right places

Tahnk you for all the comments on lipo, and gosh 1 1/2 pant size you must look fantastic now.

How much,portion sizes, cups,plates etc. are you eating months down the track? years down the track. Want ideas ,have been lapbanded sep 2007.

So how much have you lost since the beginning, between fills, and now how is your weightloss going?

Anyone had liposuction, results? Want to know of surgeons who do the lipo and tt. Was told cant claim on my health fund. so want pricing of arms surgery, tt surgery. price of liposuction. Thanks. Ideas of cheapest ways of getting done. Do i get a loan from one of the plastic surgery loan places or what??:teeth_smile:

Has anyone had lipsuction did it get rid of your cellulite?:teeth_smile:

This week i started taking natures own ladies multi viatamin and a vitamin e tablet, dont feel as hungry. Any comments why??:teeth_smile:

Had my lap banding sept 2007, now more and more noticeable- yes the weightloss and the port. When move it sticks up as lye down in bed. I just posted a few moments before reading this post to ask if anyone had a low profile port,posted under the general section.Cheers we await everyones relpy. Oh my port is just below my waist line.

What happens with fat cells? was told as you lose weight they stay, if put on double more. wieght of they stay, then double weight on again. So for yoyo dieters only way to get rid of them is liposuction??:teeth_smile:

Has anyone lost so much weight that they had to have their port changed to a low profile port. Please share.:teeth_smile:

Well stomache ulcers serious stuff, more reason to give up for me.And sounds like that doctor is serious if he takes blood tests to verify.

Thank you everyone, knowing that the port /band may corrode, and all the other messages have made me decide got to quit, going to do it this time, am doing it with the weight now to the rest of my health - quitting, will keep you all informed. Thank you if it wasnt for you guys dont thing i would have made the move to say now yes now is the time.:smile:

Thank you for that info re your friend, thought may have some effect on stomache or band, but am trying rel hard to give up

How do you atop pb , i was told you need to chew everything 25 times nd only take small bites? Any foods even if you do this do you still pb? i tend to have problems with skin of potatoes if rosted nothin else been banded since sept 2007 but think need to hve tighter.

So maybe because i have no acid problems may be okay for me, but cant handle coke -- and i was a massive massive diet coke fan before.

Has anyone been told to not smoke after you have the lap band, dont mean after as in just after operation but long term as not good for smomache? What affect does it have? Anything else not good for you to have as may affect the affects of lapband, or actually affect the lap band?

Thank you ladies, bra fitting i will go tommorrow, spoil myself on something else but food, something that will make me feel good new bras - hey and may splurge and get matching knickers.

Can someone clarify are you or have you been told not to have coffee, i like the real strong stuff. Any affects on the stomache? is it an appetite suppressent? does it increase metabolism, or??

I am going through my old clothes, some i have had for ten years, but use to wear the bras that have thin strap in front but now my bust sticks out looks good when put on but then goes over bras everywhere, maybe my skin has sagged, other half says lost weight on bust all the other types of bras lose in that area. should i not be wearing those lower type bras now? please advise, as want to look sexy but may mean spending more money,or getting professional fitting?

I am wrapped thankyou for clarifying that, i am so happy that means i lost 54 lb since 18 sept2007, wow wee i am wrapped, think i did great, after reading everyone elses was not certain, but wow wow wow am now. Still have 34 lbs to go but hey will keep at it with the help of all you guys on the boards, thanx for your help couldnt have done it without you guys> we are here to help each other.

Sounds like when at goal or near, the food choices are sensible, sensible quantities and now due to lower weight the exercise, now maintaining that healthy sexy new body is up to you, keep all the good choices made, and i think these boards will keep continued motivation. I think we all on these boards to help each other overcome our previous addiction to food for what ever reason it became that way.

Have been reasearching, and also put up a thread about vitamins and saggy skin. If we lose alot of weight, well ---. But at least we look good in a nice outfit, and be much healthier.
