I was on Optifast and I would suggest not skipping any. They are already very low in calories and you don't want your body to think you're starving it. But, I'm no expert!

Hello to All,

I have just gotten approved...April18th.

I will be having surgery in Las Vegas under Dr. Umbach.

I am looking forward so much to getting in my old clothes.

I was a size 6 until 2008....I have since gained and and up 80 pounds since I was 125.

I had always been overweight, then at 40 yrs old, I decided to make a lifestyle change. I lost 130 pounds and kept it off for 12 years. Just had blinders on and once I had lost the first 15 pounds I was off to the races...this time...I need help....I feel the lap band is my "tool".

hope to be able to follow along with others banded in April

Marlene

I'm in southern Cali too. I used to live in Anaheim, but moved to Menifee. If you start a support group I'd be willing to travel Back down to the OC :) I did not like the meetings I had attended.

      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?
