JUKU

Ah sisters, gotta love them don't you. I have the same problem. My sister, who is 7 years younger than me, is extremely overweight and only 25 years old. I asked her if she ever considered lapband and her response was "I would never go to that extreme to lose weight". Well, I thought good for you, but it was my choice to do so. Then I got the "you were not that much overweight to do that". Whatever, I was 258 and was 5' 5", I was big.

Congrats! It is such a happy moment when you hit it, keep up the good work!!

I was SZ 20 now I'm a SZ 14 pants I was SZ 1x now I'm a SZ M tops was 258 now 182

I agree with Erin Marie, men just don't show or verbalize what they are thinking very well. I am sure he has noticed! Keep up the good work.

It's always best to do what your doctor has said, however I never had to do the preop diet at all. Just note eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. What an emotional up and down you have been having the last few weeks. I am thinking of you.

I hate to tell you, but I am over a year out and I still have the same problem.

I can not stand Tracey!! Those eyeballs are about to jump out of their sockets sometimes. But like my sister in law said, she keeps it entertaining.

I have them sometimes at work for convenience, but can't eat a whole one.

I never discussed a final goal weight with my surgeon, so on my year check up on Sept 17th I asked him. I weighed in at 198 that day, 60 down in a year and he told me that he would like me to lose 40 more. He said he would be happy for me to be anywhere in the 150's. My initial goal for myself was 140. I am 5' 4"

My first fill was 3cc's. Now after 4 fills, I am at a total of 5.5cc's in my 10cc band

Are you going to continue to go to your support group? They offer one only about 25 miles from home, but I have never went.

Awesome. I too hit my 60 pound mark on my 11 month (to the day) mark.

1/4 to 1/2 cup seems way to little. My doctor told me between a cup & a cup and a half.

I don't know if it is true or not, but I was total self pay. Dang it, I am not just going to thow 20 grand down the drain.

That is absolutely incredible!! Good for Dan, when he decided to change he walked the walk.

I went home same day. No problems, they made sure I could walk around & use rest room before they let me go.

Have never heard of that!!

We have similar stats. I was 258 on surgery day and have a goal of 140. I am 195 right now almost a year out, so I am at about 50% of my goal. Not too fast, but I will take it. Good luck.

I had alot of the creamy tomato when I was on full liquids.

Yeah!!!! Congrats. Good Luck

My doctor never told me anything about what he thought. But I had a cranberry vodka 4 weeks after.

Congrats on getting your date!! Don't be nervous everything will go great. Good Luck in your new healthy life.

I saw it too, but can't remember who had it on their profile.

I do the same thing!! It can differ up to 5 pounds from morning to night. I always go with my morning weight. LOL!! Bad thing is, I weigh in with a nurse every Tuesday night at 4pm, so of course that is the higher weight.
