I really need to get back into the groups and need to seriously start losing again! I have been stuck at 103 lost for a while now. I have been exercising some but I don't have the restriction I need. Looking forward to Nov 29!!!

Ahhhh Glad to hear it isn't a big deal.... I am sooo tired of the rashes, I haven't seen a plastic surgeon yet b/c I still want to lose at least 50 more pounds, however my roll is prob bout 20 pounds... I have had my derm doc and my gyno note the rashes as well as my primary doc since I have had them for a long time... I was telling my sisters about having the roll removed and how I don't even need a belly button, they just crack up but I am serious... LOL I sure hope they can do a tuck or something with the middle roll for me... I just turned 35 last week! Glad to hear your surgery went good! When is the next group meeting? I miss going but seems like there is just always something! Baseball, then All-stars, then Football and now we are in the Football playoffs....

Well turns out it has been since Jan 2010 since I have been to get a fill.... soooo now I have to have a bariatric swallow done before the appointment. I have an appoint for Nov 29... I am sooo ready to get rid of the roll!!!! Stephanie

Dr. Miles did my surgery on 11-11-08, I have lost 103 pounds but looking to lose about 50 more then have the Panni surgery done. However I need a fill and called today and it has been since Jan 2010 since I had a fill....ooops but I have had restriction and/or been saying I need to go...anyway I made appointment for Nov 29 so I am excited bout that... I want back on the losing wagon!!!! However since it has been over a year since being to the doc there, I have to get a bariatric swallow done to make sure that my band is in the correct place...anyone ever had one of those?

I need to start going to the meetings again as I did learn new things too! I am stuck at a 103 lost, I want to lose 50 more at least then I want a PANNI!!!! OMG I hate that roll. Did you guys have a tuck too while you had your PANNI? I am gonna make an appointment for a fill as it has been over 1.5 years since I had gone. BADDD but I still feel restriction but I need more restriction I guess b/c I know I can eat too much! Anyway I wish this list was as talkative as it used to be....

It's great that you are excited as it is an awesome losing weight tool to have the lapband. I had my surgery on 11/11/08 and I have lost 98 pounds, I have hit this plateau for a few months, I just need to get motiviated to exercise and lose some more. I would do it all over again as it is soooo worth it!

What are some of yalls favorite HIGH PROTEIN snacks? Here lately I love some Turkey Pepperoni.... just trying to get some new ideas, so I can try to get all my protein back in. I am trying to get back on the losing wagon and gonna start doing Zumba at a local church here. I have hit the plateau and 98 pounds lost but I want to lose like 60 more!!!

Hi, I am Stephanie, another newbie wanting to join this thread, I haven't been on LBT in a while and need to get back on the losing bandwagon! I am 33, married with 2 wild boys 10 & 5. I had my realize band put on 11-11-08. I have lost 98 pounds and need to lose like at least 60 more. I am about to try the Zumba exercise, anyone here ever done this type exercise? They offer it free at several churches in my neighborhood but I just gotta make myself go. Anyway hope to keep up with this thread, the one I used to post on has fizzled out...

my new fave snack is turkey pepperoni, low cal & low carbs and high in protein! of course tuna, one can has 20-22 g protein!

I am just wondering what your favorite high in Protein snack is? My new one lately is Turkey Pepperoni. I don't have a pack right now but I will be getting some and can post nutrition info but it was high in protein, low calories & low carbs!!!! I do like tuna with terriakyi sauce in it too and one can of tuna has 20-22g protein! Anyway just lemme know what you like. I did try the greek yogurt but the carbs were wayyy high but it has 13-16g protein in it.

I really liked the plastic surgeon that was at yesterday's meeting. Now to lose the 60 more pounds I wanna lose them maybe get that last roll removed will be WONDERFUL!!!! I have lost 98 so far but still not the size I wanna be. I don't really have a goal weight, I just know the size I wanna be. I am gonna have to get back on the exercise wagon!!! I am gonna try the Zumba thing with my friend Julie soon! If only this sinus mess would go far away.... Anyway I wish this thread would pick back up...

I know what you mean about exercising, I keep saying I am gonna get up and do Wii in the morning but I cannot drag myself outta bed. Then tonight my husband is going to the track but I am too dern tired, after grocery store to get stuff for dinner, then coming home to kids with homework while fixing dinner, then I am just pooped! I hope I can make it to the meeting on the 20th, what time does it start? I am hoping to lose 60 more pounds, then have the big fat roll removed, I know that sounds gross! lol

Anyone posting on this link anymore? I haven't been on this forum in a long time. I need some encouragement so I was hoping yall were still here. I have lost 98 but just stuck there. I wanna lose like 60 more... anyway and I have been a bad girl and not take my vitamins and my hair.. OMG my hair so I am starting back taking vitamins and hopefully all my hair will not come out!!! Is St Vincents East still having the Saturday meetings? I need to go, when is the next?

Long time no post from me. I am still here... I am stuck at 76 pounds lost.... I had a fill of .25 on last week. I haven't been to the doc since June of 2009. Lisa said I should come back in 6 weeks & that I probably needed to exercise to jumpstart me losing again. That is true, if only I had the time and energy to exercise.... I am gonna try and get up earlier in the morning to do some wii ... I hope to make it to the meeting in Feb...
