Why thank you Thank you! And CONGRATS to you both!! Thank you! And congrats to you also. You are doing very well. Keep it up. You are well on your way!

Everyone is showing me the love and I REALLY appreciate it!!! Thank you so much!!! THANK YOU!!! Thanks!

Awww, thanks. Very much appreciated Thanks Karen! Your kind words don't go unnoticed Thank you very much! I didn't think I could do it in the beginning, but tings picked up once I hit my sweet spot Very slow again now though.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! My username makes me laugh Thank you! During the last year I rarely ever looked at old pictures. Now that I have put them side-by-side I am in shock.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I also suffer from Major Depression, so losing weight helps some. Yeah, I noticed the tattoo...haha.

100 pounds lost in a little over 11 months...

I have heard of people feeling bloated and full of gas right after surgery, BUT that didn't happen to me. HOWEVER, I am now almost 1-year removed from lapband surgery and feeling like I am going to EXPLODE!!! It started about 4-6 weeks ago and I am miserable!! Every time I take a bite of anything I end up with lots of gas, stomach pain, and a very bloated stomach from all of the built-up air. Can someone please help and let me know what to do?!?!?!

Nope. No changes in diet or medicine since the beginning. I think I will go see the doctor about it. It's weird. Thanks and have a great day. I think I will go see my doctor soon because things seem weird in there. Thanks Not a female so luckily I can rule that out

As of this morning, I have lost 100 pounds! Woo hoo!!!

Way to go!!!! Congrats!!!! BTW just saw you had your surgery in Louisville, KY...me too

Hi, I don't frequent this site as often as I should, but just wanted to say that in the 10.5 months since LapBand surgery I have been able to lose 96 pounds. I am hoping to reach 100 pounds lost in the next 2-3 weeks...and before my 1 year LapBand surgery anniversary on November 3, 2011. Wish me luck!!

Hahaha. I know, right? I just had fun with it Thanks. I belive you can also! Good luck! Thank you so much for the encouragement! Woo hoo! You can do it!!!

Thanks! And WAY TO GO!!! I have faith in both of us! WE CAN DO IT!

THANK YOU! And good luck to you as you inch closer to getting the band! I didn't have to do the 6-month supervised weighloss...Thank God!

WAY TO GO JENN!!! I know you can get 14 more off before December 29th! Yes, I feel TONS better! I could barely walk to the mailbox before surgery and now I can walk 10 miles and even run 1 mile straight!

THANKS Lisa!!! Looks like you are doing great also!!!

Thank you! I appreciate it! So, how close are you?

Thank you very much

Welcome Olivia! I have been a member for a year now, but been on the site only about 3 times. I was banded in November 2010 and can eat very few things. Meatloaf, salad, pasta, etc. It has done be good so far. Yes, I would get food stuck all of the time, but that is because I wasn't "listening the the band" (as my surgeon likes to say) to let me know when to stop. I would suggest eating slower..take a bite...put your fork down...wait a few minutes to see how you feel...then take another 1-2 if you feel ok. It has taken me 10 months to learn this and I have NOT been stuck in about a month now.

Thanks Karen! I appreciate it!!!

Thank you

Not yet, but after 10.5 months I have lost 96 pounds. I should be at 100 lbs. lost within the next 2-3 weeks. Yippe! I always wanted to do it within my first year (November 3rd) and I am almost there.

Thanks GingerJane! I just thought I would make up a name and embrace the fact that I am fat...but I won't be one day

Hi everyone. I am new here. I have finished my 3 months of weigh-ins and attended the seminar. I meet my surgeon on October 7th. Ready to get this show on the road :smile2: I am still new at this, so any advice is welcome.

Thanks for the welcome and well wishes...and I like that "Journey" :biggrin: Why thank you
