You can eat rice? My doc says no rice, ever, as it will stick and clog.

Now that you are 10lbs from your goal after only 9 months! That's so awesome! Are the last 10lbs really difficult to get off?

p.s. - what kind of rice? I'm a big rice fan and am really bummed that my doc says rice is a very bad idea after banding, regardless of what stage you are at.

i can eat ANYTHING - the only rice that "can" give me a problem is sushi rice (sticky) - but i have brown rice a couple times a wk, never with an issue.

i'm not sure about the last 10lbs - i have an appt with my surgeon on tsday, i'm thinking i need another fill cause i can eat a bunch - but i seem to be "stabalizing" between 127-131 & don't mind how i look. at 5'1, i can feasibly go down to 117 though. my original goal was 125 - my surgeon told me to shoot for 140 :thumbup: ... i might just be happy where i'm at, but i think my heads' going to have to get caught up w/my body:tongue:

I'm 5'0 so I know exactly what you mean. I think 127 at 5'1" looks great. Do you excess skin or did they shrink back fine?

VERY lucky - no excess skin; i train pretty hard (workout 5days p/wk) & really only put the weight on after i got married - so not sure if its that or genes:wink:

thats me:tongue:...was tentative of putting my Pic out "there" - but i'm getting over myself. no i have not yet posted before & after shots just yet , but plan to do so this wk. i found a pic of myself exactly a yr ago this wk holding some of my newborn pup labs and all you could see was my 3 chins / flabby arms & gut. i've been so appreciate of all those who have posted on the before / after thread, more importantly respectful of having the courage to do so. it's about time, i did the same....

Love your hair luluc ... I have a hair appointment Friday and I'm really thinking about getting a cut similar to yours, actually been trying to find pics on the net so I can print them out and take them to my stylist so he knows exactly what I want (many times I've walked out of there looking nothing like what I wanted :ohmy:)
