Hey all,i just wanted to say i am down 45 pounds ! it is slow but boy i sure am happier.I actually feel alive! I had surgery december 16 2009.I hope i only keep going down.This is the best thing i have ever done in my life! I used to wake up every morning with "im going to do good today on my diet" I dont feel that any more Their is a peace about this whole thing! i have never been happier with this "tool" ive been given! Lisa Lap 63:biggrin:

cordova chick,hey,i just went to the doc,and i had lost 4 pounds in 4 months ! He gave me a small fill.i am working out 3 days a week for an hour on the eliptical! i have lost a total of 37 pounds and it will be a year in December! what the hell is wrong with me? my weight loss stinks.i know its better than gaining ,but my body just doesnt want to give it up! i really want all of this to work ,but i guess i have to work harder at it.any sugg,would help Lisa lap 63

the foods that get stuck for me are steak and other meats like that.i havent thown up in a while ,but Sunday i ate a few bites of steak and thought i chewed it well and bingo ,into the bathroom i had to go,funny,then i sit down and eat again like somebulimic

i have only lost 33 pounds since December 08.Is that normal? I guess ever one is different.i also had a complete knee replacement 2 weeks ago.i am not moving around that much,and when u r not moving around ,i tend to eat more.i guess it never ends,any suggestions? lisa lap63

My port feels funny to the touch,and when i lay on my belly it bothers me sometimes.i am so glad u r going to the water park Billy oh! Please just be careful going dowm some of those slides,your trunks might just slip off1 I hope u have a great time lisa lap 63

hey,i feel my port too! i have lost 33 pounds since December.Yes that is slow but it sure is better than the alternative! i love my lap band,it is very liberating! I used to wake up every day thinking okay,,,today im going to stick to a diet.and now when i get up my lap band tells me when to stop.I love it!lisalap63

hey every one! i had surgery onDec 16 and have only lost 18 pounds i am frustrated too! i also have a sweet tooth i never had before.For instance,i hate ice cream,i ate it about once a year and now i think about it all the time?i dont understand either? My head is it all in my head>??????? Lisalap 63

Cordovachick,I too can eat way more than a little bit.I had my surgery a day before you and have only lost 18.You are doing great! i hope when i go in two weeks i will get another fill too1 It excites me to get a fill.As SICK as that may sound.i want to eat a little bit and be way too stuffed I would like that.This lap band is a dream come true though.I have never felt this feeling of ..i guess you could call it peace.Lisa lap 63

Hey all well its been over 3 months and i have lost 18 pounds and i still have75 to go! Its a long treck,but one pound at a time.I LOVE this lap band ! I feel this is the answer to my prayers.I have never done this before! Lisa lap 63 PS how do you start a new thread? can any one help? i am not too good on this.

Muddbug22,Thank you for the encouragement! i have learned that i still eat way to fast.I have to stop that.I also know that this lap band was the best thing i have ever done for myself.I feel more confident and happy,knowing i am getting help for something i have never in my life had control over Lisa lap63

your doctor thinks you are doing wonderful without a fill! I know you are.Some people dont need one .Just the band being on is enough.LIke me i have had 2 fills and need another i have only lost 16 lbs since Dec 16 08 ! that is not alot Lisa Lap 63

Beth,thanks for all the helpful hints Lisa Lap 63

Beth,thank you for your reply.i am going to call and push the issue,why not? I hate all this waiting in between.i am not the kind that sits back either ,but i thought that was just how it was.I think i am going to start putting my meat in a chopper,too mant accidents happen with me,swallowing too much i

Cordovachick,i am eating healthy foods too,but i get hungry alot.I dont think my band is tight enough.I have been a wwatcher member about 15 times.my appetite always wins,thats why i chose this route.So you eat 3 healthy meals a day and snack in between?How much can you eat at one time? do you have to force yourself to quit eating ? Or do you get full fast.Would you say you can eat up to 1 cup of food? just curious Lisa Lap 63

Beth,I have had 2 fills which are total of 5cc now my doc says see you in 6 weeks! Im like you in that i dont have the time to wait,i think i will call and ask.I must lose because my knee is shot and i am in pain.I need a new one but my knee doc said to lose the weight first.Its kind of difficult when after i work only 3 hours a day i can hardly walk! I wish you the best .How many ccs do you have in? how much can you eat at a time? half a cup? or more? Lisa Lap 63
