I had my lapband surgery almost 4 years ago and have lost 86 lbs. -- 45 lbs. the first year, 10 each of the next two, and about 20 in the past year. Ideally, I'll lose 20 more, which is a luxury to say. Although the weight loss has been slow -- or perhaps because of it -- I'm very grateful. I have ongoing challenges, e.g., some of these least healthy foods (ice cream, cookies) go down the easiest, and the fiberous, healthy ones (fish, some vegetables) get stuck or I reflux them up. It's a learning process and I'm a bit nervous that I've substituted online shopping for eating (although I still do eat too much at times).

Squeezing into a 12 does indeed sound like fun. Congrats on your progress so far :)

It's all about the little victories! You are a winner and nobody is perfect. Just remember where you were and where you are now! That will keep things in perspective! Rock on!

Thanks, I keep reminding myself that life is a marathon, not a sprint (though it's easier to spring at -86 lbs.).

I see nothing wrong with shopping lol. You're doing great. Try using ketchup or gravies a small amount on these things. It helps and its not as bad as you think.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
