  1. very true lisa i'm just happy that with the change in my habits that the weight is coming off cause some people don't lose any weight. And i reallly have a lot to lost before i'm at my goal weight. but any loss is a good loss thats what i think ^_^

  2. I do 45 mins to an hour cardio I mostly do treadmill and i do weight training

  3. Hi, Well, I have not reached my second goal, but I have reached my first, and just staying there is a weekly challenge. But I think I just have to watch the portions now, I KNOW what I should and should not eat, but I can eat slow and eat a lot that way if I am not careful. I am staying in a size 14, that is what I was when I got married so I have never been a tiny person! LOL I feel good, but I want to be in a perfect size 12 within the coming year. Hoping and Praying! And you are welcome for the prayers, they are freely flowing for all us LapBanders! People think we cheated somehow to lose the weight but I have found this journey challenging and difficult at times, but very rewarding and in a shorter period of time than my other diet programs, AND we know that when we lose the weight it will stay off! Because If I ate everything in the kitchen, I could only hold just so much of it! Best Wishes!

  4. I go in for my first fill on Monday the 13th. I am glad to get it done because it is too easy to just eat like I used to, I mean the quantity of each meal. It almost seems like I was able to loose when I was drinking protein shakes and no food and now the weight loss has slowed considerably. I still try to only drink a shake for breakfast and add frozen fruit to the blender. It does help to read that other May banders losses are comparable to mine.

    Hope you get your fill soon.

  5. I am on day 2 of my Pre-op diet, and Im doing alright. I had a hard time finding a protien drink that didnt make me gag. That is nice to hear that you already lost 8 pounds! I dont have a scale that will weight me at home, so Ill probably be weighed when I go in to have my blood test, and then Ill get weighed right before my surgery. Good luck!

  7. Hey there -- How are you doing? I have not been here for a while and just thought I would check in with you since we were done on the same day. I'm doing pretty good now. Doctor still has not given me a fill. He wants to wait til I hit a stop in weight loss. So in a weird way, I'm thinking I hope I don't lose any this week. I know, I know, that is just plain wrong. Maybe on July 22 I will get my first fill. Just have to wait and see. Well, I hope you are well. Give me an update when you can. Take care!

  8. Hey! I am doin ok... havent been loosin any weight... but im ok lol... How are you??

  9. Ok..you look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Right now im doing my pre op diet which is just wonderful (sarcasm)! Im at 309 right now, hope to be under 300 by my surgery date which is july 15th. I just want to tell you what an inspiration you are! I am getting married next september and not just for my wedding, for health reasons I needed to get back to a healthy weight!! Thank you for being such an inspiring person! You look great and almost unrecognizable! Thanks for showing your progress, makes me feel more motivated and cant wait to get started!!!!!!

  10. Good Luck to you, I am 6 days post-op, like you i was so proud of weight i lost prior to surgery-when you have so much to loose (starting pt 385) it was just to daunting, but knowing if i could loose 20 I could have this done gave me the push i needed. I got down to 384 before surgery and haven't weighed in yet-so far this is super harder than I thought it would be, ah, i want to chew something-even if it healthy. I'm on full-liquids right now, it's tough, but worth it, keep in touch-i'm new to the board, this is my first post-g/l on the 15th

  11. Hi very well Done! Great change!

  12. Yes Judy! Alaska was awesome! At first I was excited to go and then lost some of my enthusiasm. Then when we reached Seattle WA, I got excited again, it was like nothing I had ever imagined!!! The only challenge I had WAS with eating! I could not eat anything hardly, but actually gained 4 lbs on the trip! When Cortizone is released into our bodies from stress sometimes, our stomachs swell, thus tightening the band around it, I think I had a too tight fill also just before I went on the trip, so I threw up a lot, when throwing up, it makes the stomach swell and the band tight, so when I got back from Alaska I went in and had .04 cc taken out, and lost about 6 lbs! So I am back on track now! The food was awesome by the way, what I got to stay down! LOL This month is my one year Bandiversary, I have lost 91 lbs so far and very happy and contented with the band, and I believe I will lose more in the next couple of years. Have fun and be sure to post photos for us to view.

  13. I'm new to this site and haven't had my surgery yet. I get a little scared when I read about people who aren't losing. It makes me feel that this could turn out like other weight loss attempts and that i'll walk away frustrated and still overweight. Your story inspires me and gives me hope. Keep up the good work.

  14. Awe, thats got to be exciteing. =.]

     

    Ouch, that sucks. Eh, feel better! Um no, im not doing well at all, things with my family have been so hetic, I don't have time to watch or monotor, and help when I eat. Ive been so bad with food the last month. Im pretty sure ive gained back plus some. =./ Eh, im not going to give up yet though. This year has not been my year lol. I hope your surgery goes well though, maybe you will lose a couple extra cause of it =.]. My mom lost weight after she got hers out lol. You never know it could be a plus. =.]

  15. dab Hi I have lost about 172 lbs i am 19 months out and i am falling off the wagon i think :( i need some help. the morning of banding i was 497 and pre op i was 532 and lost some weight on pre op diet :) but i am slowing down and dont want to please help me please :)

  16. Oh i'm so excited to start working out again! Before my back got SUPER bad,to the point i'm at now,unable to work or even cook and clean... I had a membership to curves for about 2 years,i worked my ass off and lost about 50 pounds and about 20 inches all over I was looking really good,but my back started getting really bad and I had to quit :( I haven't been since January and that's how fast all my weight piled back on,I'm hoping that as I start to lose weight my back will strengthen up some so I can start out walking then exercising little by little,i'm super excited,you look great and give me the motivation to know it really can be done with alot of hard work! :]

  17. Well it's been 10 months since I had my surgery.. My weight is 198. I'm very happy with the weight loss. I still vomit alot.. I guess I eat too much, my mind still says yes to food.

  18. Hello Phyllser, You have come a long way baby!!!!! With weight loss and RVing. You look great! We have a fith-wheel we roam around in. We were down in Texas this past spring. We RVed for two weeks. We are not yet retied. my husband is 55 and can retire but we have my granddaughter living with us and her mom (our daughter). The mom is thinking about the Navy and I recomend it highly to her. Then I think we can set forth and do some good traveling. What kind of dog do you have? I have a Shitzu named Sophie. She loves the RV campgrounds. The smells are what she likes the most I guess. Please let me know how your trip went. Do you have a laptop? and get wifi where you stay? We try to. Good luck to you in your endevors. I have not been banded yet but hope to be soon. Wendy Ann

  19. I went from 238 to 209 and there I am stuck. I eat more than before but not half what I ate before surgery and now I walk about a mile a day. When you get old like me I guess it's harder. I don't go for a fill until mid Sept.

     

    Glad you are doing well. I feel good even if I'm not losing more weight... I might be though because the doc said not to pay attention to the scale because the walking might be giving me more muscle. I put on my fanny pack today and could really see the difference... about 6 inches!!!

     

    And the pictures.....wow! You look 15 yrs younger! I love the "do" too. Keep up the good work!

  20. I am impressed that you lost weight before the surgery. I am now 262... The biggest I have ever been. I am only 5'5 so you know I look like a basket ball. I am trying to motivate myself to exercise but I am soooooooo discouraged by the number on the scale. Good Luck on losing the rest of your weight! I know you will do well because you are determined.

  21. Hey lisa been awhile how you been i'm doing good i havent lost anymore weight i barely got my first fill and i'm hoping that this will help because i've been eating to much not like i used to before but enough that i haven't been losing any weight but at least i haven't gained i've been maintaining myself. I need to exercise more!

    Well later

  22. Hey Bridgette, that is great! I am so glad you did the race and finished! I have yet to tackle on of those yet, maybe one day I will complete that task. I am losing weight slowly, about 45lbs now.

  23. You look great! congrats on your weight loss :)
