Hey scalaholics, does this happen to you?
Libbyjane1976 replied to KartMan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My name is heather and I'm a scalaholic. lol. I've done the same thing and experienced the same thing with the weight gain after peeing. Or even seeing the scale stay the same! I weigh myself about 2 or 3 times a day. Usually 1st thing in the morning. If it's a weekend I'll wait an hour and weigh myself after the morning weigh in and then I usually weigh myself at night just to see how much i'm up from the day. So no it's not just you there are others out there just like you! -
Can't imagine only eating 3 meals a day.
Libbyjane1976 replied to PSJ71's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My restriction is finally getting to the point where I'm really tight in the mornings and not hungry but up until this point I was eating 3 meals and 1 snack a day. Now that I'm really tight in the mornings I have to retool my meal plan but I'm excited to be entering this phase in my band. -
"HAPPY HOUR" with the Lap Band??
Libbyjane1976 replied to NewSexyMe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm not a heavy drinker but I do enjoy having a drink now and again. Beer takes forever for me to drink and by the time I get it halfway down it's gone. I just don't bother too much because it's not worth gaining weight over. -
What are you looking forward to???
Libbyjane1976 replied to Ally76's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Fitting comfortably on rides at amusement parks. Wearing knee high boots and being able to zip them up. Having the hot guy check me out instead of my friend. Being more confident of myself. -
I have kneecaps! I forgot I even had them since I had so much fat around my knee. Anyone else discover a body part they didn't think they actually had?

Damn girl you are looking awesome!!! You have come such a long way and I'm so happy for you.

My doc's answer on carbonation....love it!!
Libbyjane1976 replied to Kathy473's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My doctor says pop is a no no for me but I occasionally have it. It doesn't bother me at all when I drink it. One thing I do notice is it makes me feel really crappy. I hate the way it makes me feel. So when I want pop I pour myself a little glass and it satisfies my cravings. -
Yea I would say go to the beach but with what just happened with your incision I would hold off on that! I'm down 55 lbs so far. i'm a pretty steady loser. Down 29 lbs already? Wow. That is so awesome. Have you gone down a size in clothing already? I lost so fast in my upper body and now my body is starting to shift. It's weird. I"m a size 18/20 on top and a 24 on bottom. 24's are starting to get too big on me so soon I'll be in size 22. I haven't worn size 22 in 10 years. I can't wait! It will be weird the day I no longer have to shop in the plus size clothing section. That hasn't happened since I was 15! Well have a good one. Glad your incision is OK hope it heals good for you! Later!

Crishell - I cannot wait to finally be able to buy a pair of tall boots and be able to zip them up!!! It's going to be a while because I have fat calves.

Unnaturally cold all the time
Libbyjane1976 replied to Michele123's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My body is finally beginning to regulate it self. It only took 4 months after my surgery for that to happen! -
More restriction with humidity or higher temps?
Libbyjane1976 replied to karebare714's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
This morning my band was tighter than usual and low and behold it is hot and muggy out today. I PB'd on my breakfast this morning. First time ever. -
Hey Carrie! I'm doing great. Enjoying the warm weather. I've basically been living at my brother's house because he has a pool. I have this Friday off work and i'm going to spend all day there. How are you doing? How's the weight loss coming along?
-
I'm not really isolated because I do have a great family and I have friends but I do get lonely in the sense that I don't have a husband or children to share my life with. Alot of it is my fault because I don't have the self confidence to talk to men. I'm hoping that will change as I get thinner and get over my body issues. If not I see therapy in my future.

Recovery Times
Libbyjane1976 replied to david6789's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Had my surgery on Wednesday by Saturday I went to my nephew's birthday party and Sunday I went to a superbowl party and was back to work by Monday. I had to take it easy on those days but I was getting back to a normal life. By Tuesday I felt much, much better. -
Yea 8 lbs to go!!!!! Won't quitemake it but i'll be close! That's all that matters!

Hi Angel! Welcome to LBT. Good luck with your seminar. You won't be sorry! This was my 1st major surgery since I had my tonsils removed when I was 4 and it was no problem. Good luck with your journey hope it goes well for you!
-
Yes I have very bony shoulders too. When I lay down on the couch it hurts because I don't have no padding there no more. It's great! Hopefully i'll get a bony butt!

hostile enviroment ... training, doughnuts and the angry obese

Oh my gosh for real? That sucks. You've come so far! You look frickin' awesome and you work hard to look that way. People can be so shallow and judgmental. -

Libbyjane1976 replied to bwaydiva's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I will officially be 6 months out on July 28, 2009. So far I have lost 54 pounds. I'm hoping by 6 months to be down 60+ pounds. -

Libbyjane1976 replied to Kristine73's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That's too bad that they'd rather be hostile towards you than support you through your journey. It's a tough thing you are gonna be going through and you need all the support you can get. Hang in there you can do it and you'll show them!!! -
help me...please...everyone...diet tips

Wow you really are motivated. You're doing great. Hopefully you'll be banded one day soon! -
Scared to take pictures...(mini rant ok)
Libbyjane1976 replied to rcruz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Oh sorry I thought you said you lost 100 lbs. 70 lbs is still good dang it. Quit beating yourself up over it. Look at yourself in the mirror you are a much smaller person than from when you started out. Focus on positive things instead of negative things about yourself. Eventually you will lose that self-loathing you have of yourself. I still think of myself as a size 26 and I have to tell myself oh yeah i'm a 18/20 on top now and a 24 on bottom. I always think that when I try on shirts they aren't going to fit me because i'm so used to trying on 26. -

Libbyjane1976 replied to rcruz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Because of the horrible self image that we have of ourselves! That is so awesome that you've lost over 100 lbs you should be proud of yourself. Don't be afraid to get those pics out and look at the difference in yourself from the way you were before to now. -
Take it one step at a time. Step one: Go get your band tightened. Step two: quit drinking when you eat. This is a hard one as you've done this your whole life! I know it was my hardest. Once you get step 1 & 2 down start step 3 which is exercise of some sort. Whether it's going for a walk or riding your bike. Good luck!!! Take control back. You can do it!
