Louisville Lesa

Dr. Schuster performed my lapband 7/08. I have lost 70lbs. He is not only a great physician, but he has such great "bedside" manner and is very supportive of my weight loss journey. I would highly recommend Dr. Shcuster to ANYONE!

Well I have lost 41 lbs. and I am feeling sooo....good!

OMGosh! You are so organized! I have basically been eating the same way. Isn't it a good feeling that you are in control of food and food isn't controlling us? How did you find this food journal??

Well....I have lost 27lbs. so far. I have also lost 20", 5 of those in my waist! I can't wait to get under 200! It has been YEARS!

My doctor said no drinking 15 mins. before and 1 hr. after. I had (notice I said had!) always been a big drinker during dinner, especially eating out but I have done really well with this. I usually order a glass of ice just to have something sitting there.

Hey....don't worry, it will get better...! I felt the same way too! Actually the pouch needs to heal. I fell in love with sugar free Fudge pops....I am from Louisville too! I was banded July 8th. I have lost almost 30lbs.....exercise is the key...keep in touch!

Well....I felt like I got hit by a bus for 3-4 days..little by little I started feeling better, I was banded on July 8th...Now I am also feeling hungry trying to control portions I am also doing some major exercise. Six weeks with a trainer and RN was included in my package...At first I was feeling tired easily, that is much better now. I have been stewing all day because I am going to the Outback for a birthday dinner....going to try my first salad. I don't get my first fill until August 20th....Can hardly wait!!

What is your Dr. saying about the slow loss? Are you needing a fill?
