Hello

I have become pretty much vegetarian and juicing vegetables has helped me lose ! I go to the gym every night and lift weights :) I also never eat more then 1200 cals a day and eat extremely clean!!!

Thanks for posting -- inspirational! I love how I feel when I eat "clean" -- energized and grounded at the same time. My problem has been an inability to sustain that mode -- the falling off the wagon. I am really hoping the band will work for me. No date yet (what a process!). These posts help keep me going.

Hi my name is Alaina and I had my lab band surgery November 16,2012. I weighed 265 pounds and I was in a size 22 pushing a 24. it has been 7 months since my surgery and i am now in a size 14 in pants and I weigh 190 pounds. it feels great to go shopping for clothes and know that I can fit into juniors clothes!! If you put in the effort and get your fills when you are supposed to then you will see results. The lap band works and I am the proof!!

I have had my band for almost 3 years. I started at 318 wnd now I am 238. I too have had to realize the commitment of changing eating habits to almost all vegan! I feel great! When I eat something that is loaded with sugar, carbs, calories, fat, or salt I feel awful! The food we eat really makes a difference in how we feel. Dr. Joe Fuhrman nutritional researcher and physician points out the toxic lifestyle we subject ourselves to. I am reading his book " Eat to Live" I am using it as a guide to break my habits of unhealthy eating. Exercise has become an everyday necessity. It is not an option. I have figured that out the hard way! For those of you that are limited with mobility for exercising try swimming! I started out doing that. I quit for a while but I have recently started back. I am excited to see what the future hold for me... And I wish you all the same journey! It's been hard, but I want to have good health and this is what must happen to get there! Discipline is a hard thing to learn when you have been out of control, especially when it comes to food and bad habits!! 1200 calories and maybe just a tad under is an awesome rule of thumb!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
