okay give me a minute to figure out this new profile...lol everything looks so different. Hello my Fellow Libra Diva Did you have a Good B-Day ? Yes I agree WE have to get back on track... it's an everyday battle and process !

it's been A Looonng While Since I've Been Here.. WOW !!

hello lady i was just checking in to see how things were going with you ? ttyl

hello congrads you have the ball rolling ... i just wanted to reply to your questions you left. as far as for me and i can only speak for myself, in the begining it wasnt i had everything planed and figured out but now it is getting rough and i have fell off the wagon a few times, but luckily have not gained anything back. it's been about 10 mos. and i think i could be farther along than i am but its all my fault. my eating habits were well managed in the begining and i had a good game plan, but it got boring and like i said i starting to slip off and got dicouraged. at times it is hard to stay on track and you have to stay motivated and focused because it's a roller coaster that start over every day. and this is just my opinion on it from my experience, everybody is different and some take off and have no issues so keep that in mind also !

good to hear from you, i've been struggling myself and have to hit a plateau right now that has me sooo frustated and discouraged...just uggghhhhh ! so i dont really have any tools, i need some myself because i have ran out.

hello lady i'm here some where just very discouraged right now and hit a plateau im having trouble getting over. but i havent gained and i'm still alive !

hey lady, i'm stuck and discouraged right now... cant seem to get my mojo back and just feel uuugghhhh! but i havent gained and i'm alive !

Well Hello and Welcome to LapBandTalk, i'm Alicia and will say that you have definately came to the right website. from my experience here everyone is nice, helpful and very friendly. there are several forums on here that can relate to what ever you are going through. including those who self paid and had their surgery done in Mexico. there are plenty of progress pictures and friends to keep you inpsired and motivated to get to your goal. it's a process and can be slow at times you will need to keep up the motivation and determination the entire way through. if you fall one day just pick up the next day and start over again. for me it was worth it and i have no regrets. keep me posted and welcome

no i never did the liquid diet but i'm about to go back and get my 5th fill and that will give me the few days of liquid diet again ! i feel like i have okay restriction but not as good as i want it. almost like i'm slowly sliding back to being able to get down what i use to before, and we dont want that now do we ..lol i'll get there sooner or later as long as i get there.

so like myself you are also a Libra- Diva huh ? well i know we will get there soon so just hang in there and keep up the fight !

YES, YES rub your ears and relax...lol because i swear i feel like we think smarter than they do. my only frustration was getting all my paper work to the surgeons office from my dr.'s office. i had to keep calling after every test i completed to make sure they faxed it. got so bad i wanted to pick them up and take them myself. the day before my surgery my surgeons office was still missing my clearance papers, i mean come on how long does it take to fax papers !!! but i feel your stress, it's worth it though and once you get it you're DONE, SET, LOCKED n LOADED 4 LIFE !!!

hey lady how are you doing and how is it going with the date ? i love you profile, keep going and keep in touch

ahhh you sound so down, are you okay ? i was about to put out a BAND ALERT for you...lol well everything is going okay on my side, still not losing at the rate i'd like to be but i've gotten comfortable with the fact that as long as i continue to lose i'll get there ! just with out a speeding ticket. i've made it to around 50lbs also, long as it does'nt go up i'm GOOD !

yes i agree with you, with out this mid section i would feel alot better. trying to rush the process and keep in mind that's it's only been 8mos. for me. So i've started lookin into some spanxs/ tummy control garments until then. oh and i also was told to get one of those belts for your stomach and wear during your work outs.. so. and YES if you eat protein 1st you'll stay full much longer, even if you would of ate just the middle or meat out of the burger and then the rest. but hey who am i to talk...lol i find myself still eating everything together ! uggghhh hang in there we will get there , and you are still looking fabulous ! i'd rather be where i am going in the direction i am than where i was this time last year !
