Recommended Posts

Maddy do you really have to have the last word?

Not saying you guys present yourselves a gang but you do as a click. Why can't you just let Sandy find the info she is looking for? I think we all are adults. Let's behave that way.

I had someone say on one of my threads that many have lost 100 pounds or more w/out the lapband' date=' that are presently using the lapband to do the same thing. If this is true of you, Id love to hear how you did it, without the lapband. I may have to try it again. First time I did it was with dr perricones weight loss diet. But, I looked haggard I was told much later. Not healthy. Sincerely, Sandy[/quote']

I'm just saying sandy asked a specific question and you not only didn't answer you all added your personal opinions instead of an answer. No one on this entire site is better than anyone else. A little bit more understanding and less better than thou attitude would be nice.

I lost 107 pounds back in 1998 doing Weight Watchers and kept it off about 4 years.

It took me 14 months, I wrote everything down, weighed and measured everything. I did not stray from the points I was to eat.

Even before & after I would lose anywhere between 25-75 pounds just to regain it. I am a lifetime member. "lifetime" is key, even with the band I am Lifetime to watch every thing I eat, the band reminds me of this now.

I am down 91 pounds(17 months out) and this experience is totally different. I love my band and wish I would have done this when they first came out!

Gals, can't we all get along PLEASE ? Where is all this anger and hate coming from ? We're all in this together and we need to show a little respect to each other, regardless of our personal opinions.

Everyone has a right to respond to any thread on these forums. Although, it is common decency to stay out of a conversation if you're requested to do so by the OP.

Regardless of anything, I will not tolerate abusive or bullying behavior or language, in public or via PM.

You can easily block any member and never see their posts or PM's ever again.

We're pretty clear about what we stand for in our forum rules. Please re-read if you still need clarification.

It HARD ON THE body to keep the yoyo going, but not giving up and giving in. Thanks again for your great post and Congradulations on that gigantic weight loss with the band! Woo HOO!!!!!!!

Thanks for the "sniff" now we know you never intended to do anything but mollify Alex. You owe us all a real apology. I do sincerely apologize to you if you found my honest posts hurtful in any way.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
