I am having my first fill on Monday- yay! I was soo encouraged by a gal who was waiting for her appointment at the same time as me. she was banded last March and has lost 90lb. She looked fantastic! She assured me that weight just drops off once you get a fill- hopefully this will be true for me too! I could do with some restriction!!!

I must confess I have had a little bit of the last supper syndrome happen since I made the fill appointment! I seem to recall a few of you saying that this does happen. Last night we had lobster for my son's birthday....... Uh-uh! Not a good idea! You just can NOT chew it finely enough! It caused me some pain and lots of salivation! Oh well my DH has lots of cold lobster leftovers today.

This experience gave me an interesting insight. lots of people at work have commented that I "took the easy way out"!!!!! Well it occurred to me last night just what a drastic step I have taken- this is no "easy" way. Every single thing I place in my mouth for the rest of my life will be carefully considered and even more carefully chewed- this is not easy.

Hi Seanmama,

I agree with what you are saying about this "not" being an easy way out! As I sit here only 5 days out of surgery, I would like to see one of the people saying that live in my shoes for a day!

We do have to think about each new food and how our bands will react. Also, what about those of us who were already eating healthy and exercising and could still do nothing but lose and gain the same 3 lbs. This is my story and I think one of the reasons why I have chosen not to tell many people about my Lap-Band.

I go to Weight Watchers and I will continue now that I am banded... but this time, I am more likely to reach my goal. I won't keep going every week and feeling disappointed when I ate within my points, exercised, drank my Water and journaled my food and didn't lose a thing!

Stay strong and positive... I know you will be successful with the help of your "tool".

Take Care,

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
