POMA

Haven't been on here in forever!

Hello there, yeah ask me whatever you need or want to know. Nice to meet ya. Sorry I haven't been on this for a long time.

Wow! You look really great! Totally different looking than ur before pic!

Wow! You've lost so much more! Very pretty! I'm losing slow too! Way slower than you, so don't feel too bad. I'm at 208, fluctuating up and down from 204. Trying to get down to 200, it's goin real slow but I will get there!

Lookin good girl!

I saw your son on U-Tube! That was so funny!!!

Hope your surgery went well and I hope your recovery is fast and that your not in too much pain! It will be worth it in the end.

Thank you! You are looking great in your bikini bod too! I have lost a total of about 30 lbs so far and 130 lbs is my goal as well. I can't wait to get there. After my 4th fill, I have a lot of restriction and have not gone for another fill since June. The Papaya Enzyme chewables have been helping me avoid the vomiting, since I have been for the last month or so now. I only lost 1 lb this month, kind of a bummer, but I know it's cuz I'm not working out. Me and the boyfriend went on a little hike and my back went out. It's been killing me for a couple of weeks now. I am upset that even if I wanted to I can't work out. I don't know what to do. I will be fine though! Have a good week!

Same here! I lose about 5 lbs a month. Some weeks I go without losing at all and some weeks I do. It's strange but your right, as long as it comes off right! I just need to get the exercise going. I keep talkin about it but not doing it. I frustrate myself. lol My goal is 130 as well. I am 5" 1" so that will work for me.

Definetely losing more weight now. I am losing about 5 lbs a month but go for weeks without losing sometimes. I stopped working out for the last few weeks and I know I would lose more if I worked out. That is what I need to work on at this point.

Wow! Tummy tuck on monday. I understand, I would be a mess too. Don't worry too much about it. I know it's easier said than done. I have a good feeling that everything will work out just fine for you. Good luck momma!

Hello there,

Looks like we have a few things in common. I had my surgery 02/24/09 and lost about 29 lbs so far as well. Congrats! I am finally feeling the lapband benefits with the 4th fill as well. Are you exercising? I am not that much and that's probably why I have the slow weight loss of about 5 lbs a month. I kinda eat what I want too. I was watching what I ate for a few months there, now I have kinda fell off the wagon. Got to get back up.

Hey girly! HOw have you been?

Hello! How have you been?

Hey girly how have you been?

Lookin good! How you been? By the way you were right, I have much more restriction now after mty 4th fill.

I am so proud of you! You look great in the pics to the right you posted! Can't say it enough, you are an inspiration!

How are you doing by the way?

Hey girly,

Haven't been on here for awhile. I am doing ok. A lot of ups and downs. Struggling to get back into exercising again. Losing slowly because of it. Finally had the 4th fill a month ago and it's finally working. Or at least I don't eat as much and can see the difference.

How have you been? Lookin good in your pic.

I can't quite give you a good opinon at this time. I kind of regret the lapband and wish I did the gastric. I have heard from a few gastric patients that they felt it was a miracle and didn't really have to work at getting the weight off. With the band you really have to work at it. You have to eat healthy and exercise or else you will barely lose any weight at all. With gastric the weight flies off. The negative of the gastric is a lot of people have issues with gas or other health issues and maintanance is harder on them than lapbanders. With the lapband I feel like I'm on a diet and I choose what to eat and not to eat. It's very difficult, for me at least it is. Hope this helps.

Hey there! Does your doctor give you fills under an xray or just has you drink water and when you burp he knows when to stop giving you saline solution?

I have had 3 fills and have no restriction, jst trying to figure some stuff out. Maybe it's too soon. I don't know. I'm always starving between meals.
