  1. Barbara- I'm really curious about your third fill, since I'll be going in for mine in a week 1/2. Do you feel a lot more restriction this time? I'm nervous they're not going to give me anything either since I've lost weight and now I'm just in that overweight category (even if I dress heavy, I'll be down about 10 pounds since my last visit). Was the nurse telling you to check the calculator to say that you'd lost enough or need to lose more? Yeah, I'm just under 5'9" so my BMI is now 29.9.

  2. i started about 4 weeks post op walking. i have a ski machine that i use at home a lot.i dont really weight train but ive got a small set of dumbells that i use to work on my arms. besides my stomach they;re my worst area.

  3. thank you!!

    i def want to get a few more once i lose all my weight!!

    not quite sure exactly what though - i would love to get something that symbolizes the journey of the whole process

  4. your band should be fine. just wait til you've had a fill or 2 and start getting some restriction. the weight will start coming off

  5. i'm just feeling aggrevated a little but i'm doing and eating right with the support of my family. maybe after my fill i will loose lots of weight

  6. Hey you .... On my gosh my summer has been insane! I went to the River two weekends ago, then on an Oregon road trip last weekend, this weekend the river yet again. I have never had such a fun filled summer. I am enjoying every second of this!!

     

    Enough about me... Regarding your fill I think that is totally normal. I think that they do not want us to the lose the weight too rapidly!! I am in the same boat as you. I too have no restriction at all. I have to be very careful cause I have no problem eating anything. I have not even had anything remotely close to a "close call". I figure that I am pretty safe though since I am still losing two pounds a week consistently. So my final answer is YES you are over thinking all of this!! Sounds like your tool is working wonderful!!

  7. :thumbdown:My nurse told me to stay away from potatoes and things like oatmeal because the carbs will keep me from losing...

     

    Well, I decided to have broth instead of creamier tomato soup yesterday, and sure enough I lost a pound that I had gained back. Unfortunately, I did experience hunger later... g:frown:

     

    I can hang.

     

    How are you doing today?

  8. Policystic Ovaries... They cause all kinds of problems with my system.... from beyond slow metabolism to infertility problems and many things inbetween. I am praying that losing weight this much in a year will help be get prego on my own or at least make it easier for the doctor to help me get prego..

  9. I read your blog tonight. Need to be asleep but i am so inspired by you. Congrats on your weight loss so far and keep up the good work! I am so inspired! I finally reached 40lbs lost and I'm so happy and motivated! Had my 3rd fill friday and finally have restriction! My doc is a lil different when it comes to eating after fill you only have to be on liquids after you get the fill and can start eating the next day. I think I'm going to try what you do because I tried to eat solids and that just isn't gonna happen right now! Painful! Hoping this fill and exercising will help my progress and keep up the good work! You are truly an inspiration!

  10. hi sxymwhen did u have your lap band done?can u kinda tell me what u eat each day?if u dont mind me asking and how long its tkaen you to lose yr weight thanks again u look great@@@@

  11. hi everyone thanks for stopping by.....

     

    if there is anything i can do to help...just leave me a message...since my last visit i have lost alot more weight...got sick but it was good for me.........

  12. about the pic comment. the donk goes away when the weight does! thats the only bad thing. might have to find a doc who does back shots, lol!

  13. wow you look great! can I ask what is your secret? My surgery is July 31st 09- I weight 345 and have a LONG way to go. How did you lose so much weight so fast??Racnesa, (Ill)

  14. In your blog you said you was working on maintance and you were not going to weigh yourself that much since the scale wasn't moving. I was just checking in to see if you weighed again since it has been almost a week? Well I finally weighed again and I gained 4 lbs instead of 3, but I am ok with that. Girl it is getting closer and closer till you go and see your family. They are not going to know who you are at first. I change my looks so much with my hair styles that people at work say I look completely like a different person. Image you with your weight lost. Have you gotten the cravings out your system yet? If so what did you do so I can do the same?

  15. Hey Tig, Lighterload here,

    Sorry for not being in contact. Life went upside down- had to have my band replaced due to a leaking port, just got out of the hosp. yesterday, have lost about 60 lbs so far.

    Lost my job this past Monday- forced into FMLA and disability- have a progressive lower limb Neurologic deficit causing me to be in a power chair and the job won't allow it. They literally gave me the boot and were so condesending about it............... I cried for 3 days.

    How are you and how are you doing? Weight loss?

    Miss chatting with you, Lighterload

  16. buy some gas x or that milky stuff for gas I also heard about this stuff you put under your thong I cant remember the name (of course), well it will get better very soon. I weighted in and I weight 208 they had me at 218 june 15, so thats 10 lbs before & after surgery. The dr. said I can eat soft food now and on Sunday I can try eating regular foods... can't wait I'm always hungry it seems like, and the minute I eat I'm stuffed 1 1/2 hrs later I'm hungry. My right side is still buggin me (all well I'll live) bye later.

  17. I can't imagine myself below 150, but I think they said I'm overweight at 155! I think I'd be down right skinny at 155! I guess the 140-45 is what my healthy weight is supposed to be. So, we just need to kick arse and take names. I wish you the best of luck!

  18. how the heck didja lose so much weight? I am only down 31 lbs. I was banded on 05/11/09 at my highest 275 now am at 234

  19. You look great! Can you tell me where you found the weight spreadsheet online to download? Thanks girlfriend! -BG

  20. hello was just wondering how your weight lost was going? i was banded aug 08 and im only down 35 pounds not sure wy i cant seem to lose anymore any advise would help....also i was looking at ur pics and the one of ur wedding is your sister Tiffany????ttyl shannon

  21. How is your journey going? I have UHC as well. Like you Im at about 40.. with high blood pressure. Ive got to have my thyroid out in Aug 09 then my PCP will send in my weight history and we will see... Keep us up to date on your progress. If you have good luck then there is hope for me!!

  22. It's going well now. It reminds me of that cliche motto for rehab, "It works if you work it." (Haven't been through rehab, but a friend has and we spent a good while mocking the obvious statement.) I lost about 30 lbs before I started eating fast food again. The portions were smaller, of course, but it's still high-fat food, so the weight loss was less and less. I got banded 12/30/08 and finally hit my -50lbs mark this week. But I'm pretty excited, because I lost 5 lbs (total, not each) these past 2 weeks just from not eating fast food junk anymore! LOL! I've also buckled down and gotten serious about working out. I can handle two days in a row, but have to take a break the third day and then start over again, lol. I did three days this week, but am gonna work up to five days for a while.

     

    How bout you?

  23. Thanks for getting back with me. I has been awhile since I've been on the site. Your recommendations look great and I hope to try and follow them. I live in Weidman Michigan. I'm located in the middle of michigan by Mt. Pleasant. Were are you from? Weight loss is still slow. I just need to recommit and follow your rules. I do eat carbs. I think I'm a carb junkie. I need to find a way to eliminate them without going crazy. Nice chatting with ya. Have a great 4th of July.

  24. I am on the liquid diet now, have done the psych test and now awaiting clearance from a cardiologist and i will get definate date....looks like it will be end of July.

     

    Jazz fest used to be a wonderfully small and inexpensive experience but it has grown so large now, i think they are speaking of expanding it out more days to help with the overcrowding. I lived in New Orleans all my life until Hurricane Katrina, now I live in Diamondhead Ms. it's still on the coast though.

    I hope to lose about 80 lbs. I had to gain 5 lbs to get in the weight/bmi that would be accepted by my insurance company, it took me 5 months to get them to agree to pay for it. It was worth it to save having to self pay though.

  25. I'm lucky I got a picture of myself for the avatar! No idea how to use the weight ticker thing. If you figure it out, let me know. I have not microwaved the egg beaters. I'll have to try it. I havent lost any weight this week, granted I havent gained any either. I'm a tad disappointed but at least I'm not gaining. And I'm doing the regimen the nutritionist gave me. So I trust them. I'm just so impatient about the weight loss. Have a great weekend!! IT's finally not going to rain in Boston this weekend, so I plan on enjoying the sun! Jen
