I started losing my hair in May (2 months post op). I'm glad to know I'm not the only one out there. I'm only 25 years old, and it's making it hard to diet knowing that my hair is falling out because my body thinks it's starving. UGH!

Hey I looked at the boot camp thing, Its an awesome idea. The only prob is I live about 1 1/2hr from Bham. If I did something in bham it would need to be on the weekend...Im gonna do some research and see what else I can find!! This is a great idea though!!!

Anyone interested in joining a fitness boot camp? I think we need to have one sponsored by Miles and Schmitt to get people motivated. Can someone discuss this with Veronica? I don't know her really well. Maybe she can set up some kind of weight loss boot camp fitness thing. They have camps for women and men. I am not extremely athletic, and I think this is something that I can use to push myself. I'm probably going to join the June 22 camp. Let me know what you all think! I don't feel like being tortured by myself... so join me! :-) Birmingham Adventure Boot Camp - Birmingham -
Hi! I live right outside of Birmingham. I've seen your posts in the Miles & Schmitt forum and the 20's NSV forum. I am looking for someone to join a fitness boot camp with me. I don't feel like being tortured by myself. Let me know if you're interested. Maybe it can be something we can take back to the support group. I've been looking at Birmingham Adventure Boot Camp for Women - Birmingham
I don't know what your schedule is, but I'm interested in the camp starting in June. I teach, so I'm pretty much available for anytime. Let me know! Maybe we can get others involved.

I went shopping at Cato the other day. They have two different sides to the store. One is for overweight women and the other is not. I generally walk in and go straight to the left (overweight side). I picked up a top, and held it against myself... too big. I pick up a smaller size... too big. It was the smallest size on the overweight side. I HAD TO GO TO THE SKINNY SIDE TO BUY A SHIRT!!! Guess what?!?!?! I fit into a regular woman's size LARGE... not XL, or XXL... but LARGE!!!! YAYYYYY!!! I haven't dropped but one pant size since surgery and people keep asking about how many sizes I've dropped. I always felt bad saying one. Now I can tell them about my shirt sizes. lol. You can do it if you try!!! Krista

Calling All MARCH '09 Bandsters - We need a name!
Lemonhed84 replied to gabi311b's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my first fill on Monday. They put in 4 ccs in a 10 cc band. I thought that it seemed like a lot, but they said the Realize Band is different (whatever...). I still don't feel much restriction, but it looks like my plateau is over (with the loss of 2 more lbs.). I have been stalled for the last two weeks. I was banded on March 12th, and have lost 18 pounds since then. Anyone else stall out like that? Krista -

It's been a while since I've posted! I went to the last meeting and came in a bit late. I can't wait to actually get to meet everyone. I've lost 18 pounds since surgery on March 12th, and I have lost 33 pounds total. I got my first fill this past Monday. I was really shocked when they put in 4ccs! Everyone keeps talking about small amounts, such as 1 or 1.5 ccs for their first fill. I still haven't met with the dietitian for my 6 week check-up, but I am hoping to do that sometime after school gets out. Is it worth going to see her? I hope to see you all again at the next meeting! Krista -

Strectching out your new pouch..

I learned tonight that I DO NOT tolerate green beans. It makes me sad, but it's something I am going to have to live with. I do tolerate bread, but I'm trying really hard not to eat it. :-) I did have half a small piece of pizza the other night and a bite of crust. It doesn't make me feel bad, it makes me feel normal. -

I was banded on Thursday by Dr. Miles. It hurt a lot more than I thought it would!!! The only people left in the Same Day Services center at the end of the day were the two of us who were banded by Miles. I'm not sure who the other girl was, but I wish her the best of luck. We both seemed to be having a hard time. I am feeling better today, after some much needed relief of built up gas in my abdomen. THANK YOU GAS-X for your fabulous strips! lol! I hope to see you all at support group. Krista -
So... I was banded on Thursday! It was a lot more painful than I expected, but I'm making it. I'm slowly getting my fluids down for the first time today. It was hard yesterday, and the pain is getting better. I'll keep you all posted!

So, tomorrow is the big day and I am SUPER excited! I am not too thrilled with the mega laxative I've just taken but I know that it's all worth it!!!! :crying: On my pre-op diet I've lost 11 pounds (though, with this laxative it may be more by surgery time tomorrow!). My pre-op diet consisted of 2 Protein shakes a day and a salad for dinner. Everyone in my family is calling and asking about me... but it's getting old fast. I know that they care, but their worrying is making me nervous. :thumbup: I hope it's not too painful... I really can be a sissy when it comes to pain. Wish me luck! I'll write back ASAP! Krista
