I've heard about that happening to other people too! I have no idea how that happens! How much does your band hold?

My weightloss during the holidays were very slow! hahaha but once I started back at school I was fine again. I tend to be much more busy when I'm in school and that keeps me from snacking too much.

That's great!!!!

yeah I hate that feeling so hopefully that goes away soon!

I really didn't drink enough right after surgery to feel stuck. I just made sure I was drinking super slow! Take tiny tiny sips and see if that isn't any better? I still get nauseous if I drink too quickly. How is the pain?

oh yeah I had problems with gas too so don't worry it's normal! hahaha is it getting any better yet?

Hey! I'm from spokane and I was just wondering if those support groups are still going on?

awww thanks! Are you getting excited? I'm actually kind of bad about having an exercise routine. I kind of just keep busy. I hang out with friends and just walk around. Also my job is a workout and I'm there 4 days a week so that helps keep me active. hahaha Next quarter I'm going to try to be better about working out so I'm taking a fast fitness class at my local community college with some friends. It's a class where you just go in and work out when ever you have time and as long as you log in 14 hours by the end of the quarter you pass. hahaha so when do you start your pre-op diet?

Hey! I answered your email before I saw this. hahaha Don't get too down on yourself it will only make you go crazy. And it's impossible to loose weight when you're stressing. What was your starting weight? Cause when you think about it on average people with the lap band only loose about 50% of their excess weight in the 1st year. So if you are looking to loose about 120lbs then you are right on track and still doing better than 50% of people with the band in the first year. Sorry I'm a math and science nerd so statistics and percentages help me put things into prespective. hahaha

Thanks so much!

That's good that you found a protein shake that you like. I never did so it was horrible! hahaha how long until you're on solids again?

That is ambitious! hahaha what is your post op diet like?

Are you getting excited for surgery?!?!?

how did your first consult go? sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I'm 5'9 so I'm very close to you height wise.

Are you waiting to be approved or do you have to do a 6 month diet?

Thanks! How is your band treating you?

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that.

Thanks! It looks like you are doing amazing too! when did you get surgery?

I hope they approve you! you have to let me know what happens.

thank you! have you heard back from your insurance yet?

awww thank you!

I really can't say enough good things about him! Maybe I will see you in his office sometime. hahaha do you have a surgery date yet?

Hey I just saw your post about having to loose 100lbs before surgery and I noticed that you are from the tri-cities. who is your surgeon? I live in spokane but I went to Dr. Fox in the tri-cities for my surgery. He is amazing!

Thanks for the comment! I've lost 98lbs.

thanks!!! I got banded on dec 12th. I've lost 98lbs. and I haven't gotten any work done on my stomach, it just kind of snapped back for the most part. when were you banded?
