It's all a state of mind. I started losing fast at first and then hit a plateu and decided to hit up the gym. Once you realize that it's not just eating but also working out is when your golden. I now get disgusted when I see people I know eating like I use to eat. Lap band is great but you have to work for it

In all honesty I look down on them for not being able to do the band and have to actually put an effort in

I think you should listen to lellow and ignore the others. Like you said you don't want to hook up with him and have anything serious and everyone else here is giving you advice as if you are trying to hook up with him and start a relationship.

Nice to see other service members on here . I started insanity and it's not easy but doesn't bother my port at all

I maintained girth and gained three inches also. My wife is loving it

My two year old eats faster then me

Hey fellas, So I have lost 103 lbs so far and im 27lbs away from goal. I was just wondering how many people here have developed a healthy eating mentality and get upset at over weight people that stuff there face. My wife gets on me and says that a year ago that was me but what ever I just want everyone to eat healthy now. I get disgusted when I see the portions people in general eat at restaurants and cant believe I use to eat that way.

also if you have a smart phone you can download apps that can help you monitor what you eat and how many more calories you need to lose weight every week

I agree 100% I learned bad eating habbits from the Army which my Drill Sgt kept yelling at me for eating slow and I just became a speed racer when it came to eating so now I have been trying to teach myself to eat slow and chew more cause like Dave said you only get stuck when you eat fast or dont chew your food. Just take small bites and savor your food instead of trying to stuff your face.

I went shopping with my girl cousins and was trying on form fitting shirts and there telling me i look great in it and all i see is my man boobs popping out arrg I hate it why cant I see it

You know I think when your sex drive takes a plunge when your not happy with your self and now that your banded your sub consciously happier then you realize and its affecting your sex drive. I know mine sky rocketed as well

Yea the fat around our penis gets smaller by an inch it seems so it makes our penis look bigger. Dr Oz put me on to this

I dont know about all that but thank you for the compliment lol cause I honestly dont see it

Thanks Redhead. I have lost 90lbs in total with the pre op diet included.

I lost 30 pounds before surgery because my insurance company wanted me to lose weight at a monthly rate. I lost lost 60lbs with surgery.

Thank you for the compliment. I'm still trying to get use to it since everyti e I look in the mirror I still see myself as i use to be

I felt the same way after my 2nd fill I was able to eat more then usual but just had my 3rd fill on Thursday and that stopped I end up almost throwing up if I don't chew my food correctly

Cause of my work I walk for about 1 1/2 hours a day do I guess thats my workout for now. I was banded 9/8/10 and go in for my first fill next Thursday :0). I hope my Doc gives me the ok to start hitting the gym cause my belly is starting to sag and im not licking it
