People are starting to notice........
amberstar replied to irishgal's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Congrats!! Thats exciting for you! When I had lost about 30lbs, my fam and friends that knew I had surgery said they were noticing. But after 40lbs, everyone I know has commented. So that makes me feel good :scared2: -
Aw well I hope the appeal works!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
I'm doing pretty good. Down 40lbs now
The past couple weeks I've been a little sidetracked and haven't lost any. I moved from TX to NM, so that was stressful, and all my groceries were either packed or thrown away. So I had to eat out, never a good thing!! lol
But I finally got groceries yesterday. When I eat at home and I have my own little things that I know aren't high in calories that I love, then I do great. So I'm hoping to start losing again soon!!
Keep me posted on your surgery!! Muah!!

how much do you loose each month?
amberstar replied to ibeatanorexia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Since I got good restriction at the end of Dec, I've been losing 8-10lbs a month. But before I got restriction it was only about 2-4lbs a month. -
I couldn't remember if I had told you how freakin fabulous your pics are, so I wanted to make sure I did!! You look great!!

Did your insurance not cover the surgery at all?? Well I hope something works out for you eventually. But I went thru the same thing. I originally wanted the surgery in 2006. Couldn't afford it, had crappy insurance. I kept it in my mind as a goal, and eventually it happened. So keep your chin up!

I only drink alcohol on very special occasions since it's alot of unnecessary calories. And cokes, I've only had 2 since being banded 6 months ago. Most people on here say no to carbonated drinks. But my doc said they were fine in moderation. I would check with your doctor and get his/her opinion. I just dont drink them now because of calories.

I was banded 6 months ago and have lost 40lbs. The first 3-4 months were really slow cuz I didn't have good restriction. But the past few months are way better! I'm averaging 8-10lbs a month

Yeah my hubby is pretty awesome! I had been working since 15yrs old, and he said I needed a break. He's one of those guys who's very old school, wants to take care of the wife, opens doors, spoils me totally! So I'm enjoying it while it lasts!!
