What size are you at what weight? 14,16,18...

I do not have one pair of shoes that fit properly! I have no idea what my real shoe size is! I actually think I might have a narrow width... It is hard to find them in a store to try on. But shopping in the "normal" section is a wonderful experience! -

I started at 250 - size 22-24 Now 133 size 8 Funny how we can weigh the same but take different sizes. -
Banded 6/22 and VERY frusterated

Head hunger is really the challenge. The band is a tool but we all can find ways around it. Even after a year I have to fight the "head". I have always been a stress eater. I find exercise helps a lot. I am at the gym 6 days a week. Once I work out I do not want to ruin the calorie burn by eating crap. Yoga also helps. Get your fill and dont give up. -
That is fantastic! I started 2 months after I was banded and it just helped melt the weight. I never thought I would say I love working out but now I feel like a slug if I miss more than one day a week! Good luck on your journey!

August 22 was my one year anniversary! I have reached my weight loss goal and my weight is around 135-133! I feel fantastic. I exercise 6 days a week and have never been in this healthy in my life. I am hoping that even at my age (59) some day I can teach cycle spin class and yoga. I love my band and my new body!!

Hey scalaholics, does this happen to you?
di1138 replied to KartMan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I do weigh myself every morning when I am empty. I find that scales are not nice creatures! I can move mine an inch or so and get a weight 1/2 more or less than the first time I got on it. So I went out and bought a second scale and pretty much the same things happen. I have a weight watchers and a biggest loser scale. They never agree with each other! If anyone has a good scale I would love to know the brand. -

Just call your doctor and tell him. I really doubt the little you ate makes that much difference. You must however, follow the pre-op prep from now on. It could cause problems if you don't. Good luck. I think you will be fine.

Received my medical packet today and have a ? about the forever eating?

It seems everyone is different and so are their doctors. All the things you mentioned were off limits for a while but then I was able to add things back, in moderation of course. Different foods bother people. I don't eat bread but I know it bothers a lot of people. Dry chicken can be a problem for me as well as soy beans. I eat a bag of 100 calorie popcorn every night and a lot of apples with skins (chew chew chew) with no problems. I also eat shrimp every so often. I know many of us eat nuts. I do not eat fried foods and really think it is a good idea to give them up. I have had a problem with celery but I know I didn't chew it well enough. I think it is a good idea to listen to your doctor then after several months you can see what bothers you. A word of caution, getting stuck is no fun! Chew chew chew. Good luck on your journey -
Hi, sorry it took so long for me to answer you. Good luck on your journey! I wish I could tell you I did something special but I just followed the doctors rules. Honestly I think the band adjusted my head too! The way I look at food has changed. Suddenly I Want to eat healthy. Before the band I didnt care. I do work out 5 days a week. It took me 6 months before I could say I enjoy it. Now I take several classes and love it! Let me know how you are doing. Best of luck - Diane

Thanks !!!!!!!!!

I doubt it but everyone is different. All I wanted to do on the preop diet was sleep! Maybe you are a little anxious about the surgery. When in doubt bring it to your doctors attention. Good luck on your journey.
