I am not even 6 months out and i'm at 61 lbs. it all depends on the person. Seeing how you only have 75 lbs to lose the LB is a much better procedure for you than GB. I would not feel comfortable with my insides being cut and rerouted. Good luck.

Hi Lisa!!! This website will definitely be very supportive. Congrats for getting back to it and starting all over. Good luck with your liquid diet. How long do you have to be on one for? Since your band is already in place did you just go in and get a fill?

Full or stuck?
Libbyjane1976 replied to june09bandit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I get that feeling it's my key to slow it down. That's when I put the chicken breast down and sit there for about 5 minutes. Then I pick up my fork again and resume eating. -
I'm on this website all this time, this is my support group. Other than that there are several people who I know that have had the surgery and funny enough it was all with the same doctor so I kinda compare notes with everyone.

Goal 1: Not wear an extended seatbelt when I fly next month (lost over 60 lbs so I hope I don't need one) Goal 2: Get to onederland (52 lbs to go) Goal 3: Wear knee high boots Goal 4: Wear a short skirt

I tell you what that was a really great self esteem moment for me. I haven't been this thin in over 10 years and even though I still have a ways to go I'm already feeling so much better about myself and the way I look.

Good for you! What an awesome accomplishment. Hopefully you and your son will have many more memories like that.

"doesn't look like you're losing any weight"
Libbyjane1976 replied to firefly71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unfortunately right now you are in bandster hell. I would call your doctor and schedule a fill. go in every 3 weeks until you get to a good restriction. Good luck. -
why lap band ... as opposed to other surgery
Libbyjane1976 replied to Paulo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
For me it was an easy decision. #1 I did not want my insides rerouted. No way. #2 Too many complications!!! #3 Death rate from GB is too high -
Dang it I didn't see that show but scrolling through I see it's on TLC Wednesday night at 10 p.m. I tivo'd it. I love watching those shows. I also watch the show on Discovery Health called the Brookhaven Obesity Clinic.

I'm to the point where I'm very tight in the mornings. I usually have Carnation Instant Breakfast. That way i at least get some good protein in. By lunchtime I can eat food but I get full pretty fast and then by dinnertime I can eat alot more.

Urghhhh...Stupid Oreo Cookies!
Libbyjane1976 replied to jtejada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
5 oreos? Kudos for stopping there. Shoot back in the day I could eat the whole row in a package. Don't beat yourself up. Pick yourself up and throw away the rest of the oreos. lol. -
Was this a PB?
Libbyjane1976 replied to spongealan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Kinda sorta. Only nothing came up. It's just a warning to slow down and chew. -
6 Month Bandaversary and down 60 lbs!
Libbyjane1976 replied to WorkingMom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Great job! I am right on track with you. IN 2 weeks is my 6 month bandiversary and I will be probably at the 60lbs mark too!!! It feels so great knowing that much weight is gone forever! Makes you think how you even carried all that extra weight around. -
Can you ever eat 'regular' food again?
Libbyjane1976 replied to barbie1978's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm 5 months banded and I can "eat normally" just alot less portions. I can eat a 6" sub from subway. I can have a piece of bread with my dinner. Though I usually don't because by the time I eat my meat and veggie i'm too stuffed to even think about bread. I can eat a salad. I have no problems eating any food I want to eat. I just be careful, take small portions and take my time. I only get stuck when I eat too fast and don't take the time to chew my food. -
Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. He puts on a good show especially in front of his home town.
ttyl. Have a great evening!

We went to Pontiac Lake out in Waterford both days. It was nice. I usually don't hit the beach very much seen as how my brother has a pool but the pool turned green and we had to dump a bunch of chemicals in it and i'm like no way i'm not swimming in that. lol.
I usually just lose 2 lbs a week but it's been steady up until about a month or so ago and then it was 2 lbs every other week or 3 weeks straight and 1 off. it's been weird. Oh well every lb is 1 lb closer to goal. 115 lbs to go! Seems so far away but I know one day i'll get there!
Well it better get nicer out! I'm going to the Kid Rock concert Friday night at Comerica Park. I can't wait!!

Hi Carrie! Yea so far i'm having a good summer. Not as hot as I hoped it would be!!! Other than that it's been great. Went to my mom's for the 4th and spent some time at Lake Michigan. That was nice! Enjoyed the beach this past weekend.
My weight loss has been in a bit of a slump lately so i'm hoping to get back to losing steadily again. Instead of losing 2 lbs a week it's been 2 lbs every other week. My doctor said this is normal. I'm like whatever! lol. I'm hoping to be down 10 more lbs by Disney in 6 weeks. How was your 4th? how's your wl going? how many cc's do you have now?

WTF?!?! I Stopped Losing Wt after 25 LBS post op???
Libbyjane1976 replied to dlo1's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Have you measured yourself? Are you losing inches? My doctor told me you go through stages where you lose weight and then you go through stages where you shrink. You could be shrinking. Maybe you are building muscle. Only other piece of advice I can offer you is to change up your diet. Our bodies are crazy sometimes. I know mine I can eat good all week and not lose a lb but the minute I eat something bad for me the next day I lose 2 lbs.
