299.5 VS 193.5 Banded March 31 2009 :ohmy: -107lbs in 7 1/2 months!!!

Thats awesome! Congrats!!! I hit 100lbs lost and Onderland on the same weighin!!! so I got my nose peirced to commerate both occasions!! :cursing: Great Job Keep it up!!!

I am ALWAYS! ALWAYS! tighter during my Monthly cycle, It sucks but I usually just try to take it easy on what I eat which is hard because I always crave the bad stuff during that TOM...:thumbdown:

299.5:angry: VS. 219:smile2: I was banded on March 30th 2009! ive lost 86.5lbs as of today but this pic was my 80lbs pic!!

Like everyone else has said I think that you should find a new doctor if they absolutly will not refer you. I was 23 when I had my surgery back in March and Ive lost 60lbs since then. When I was in the process of getting my surgery I had to go to a diffrent doctor for my annual pap-smear and I was explaining to her that I was getting the lapband and she just started saying how bad it was and how nobody loses any weight when they get it done and the the bypass would be better for me, I just shruged it off and let her do what she needed to do. I cant wait to go back to her next year when I need another papsmear and see what she says now. :confused: just stay determined and dont give up!!!

here are my updated side by side pics, and the ones from the month before. also I put one of me before I walked in my 1st 5k on the 4th of July!!!!:confused:

OHHHHH...ok well if thats what the Doctor ordered then Do what he says...I didnt know that you were on a pre-op diet. But yea the weight may not come off anymore because your body is in starvation mode because of the low calories. Just drink PLENTY of water and stay hydrated!!! Good Luck with your surgery!

I really dont think that you are eating enough calories. I have to eat between 950-1100 calories when I am working out to lose any weight. I would try uping your calories with good foods of course and when working out you should start losing! I hope that helped I went thru that phase as well but found out quickly if I dont eat enough the scale wont move.:thumbup:

6lbs For me so far!!!:thumbup:

my calfs are doing the same thing! :biggrin: I think Ill spend a little more time streching as well.

I am 24 I was banded when I was 23 I think that it doesn't matter about your age all it matters about how much will power and how motivated you are I was looking in to getting the band for 2 years before I got it. Now Ive had the band for 2 1/2 months and Ive lost 50lbs since surgery. I never ever thought that I could be on Clear liquids for 3 weeks, Full liquids for 2 weeks and Mushies for 2 weeks, I never thought that I would have enough willpower to do it. I go to the gym 5 days a week for at least an hour, and I don't cheat, I don't even think about cheating because when that is all you think about then you will! so I really do not think it matters what age you are as long as you do what you are suppose to, what the Dr. tells you, I I think that its the amount of discipline, and motivation you have that will determine your sucess!

Hello! I was banded on March 30th 09... Ive only had 1 fill [4.5cc] my next is scheduled for July 1st! Ive lost 50lbs since surgery with alot of working out! :sad:
