How often do you weigh?
Louisianagirl replied to Twilight's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
OK I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that bounces around 1-3 lbs. I usally weigh about 2-3 times a week just to make sure I don't shoot up 10 lbs. The weight loss is really slow right now, I feel like I will never get to my goal. -

Ringing in the New Year Cajun Style!
Louisianagirl replied to pippinje's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow you are doing great! I am in Lafourche Parish. Nice to hear from someone, its been a while. -
Just checking in. I have been really bad the pass few days. I had a sweet tooth and ate things I shouldn't have. Been working out about 2 times a week. I have been bad on that too. I just hate the cold weather and can't wait for it to leave. I'm such an outdoor person. I will be getting more active as it warms up here. Hope everyone is doing great!

You will soon get to your right fill. I think after about 12 I have mine. The last one about 2 weeks ago is really restricked. I have been throwing up. I been doing protein shakes and can barely put those down. I don't know about you guys but I can eat better at night. During the day it is very hard to even put liquids down. It took about a week for the last fill to kick in. That is so weird how that works. Well keep up the good work.

Ringing in the New Year Cajun Style!
Louisianagirl replied to pippinje's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm about 30 miles southeast of New Orleans. It just made a year for me on the 23rd of Jan. Good luck to everyone! I went to Southern Surgical with Dr French in NO. -
I refinanced my home for lesser years and got money back.

WoW! I woke up this morning and the scale finally started moving again. I am still on track. I had hurt my back for a few days but I didn't give up. Went to the Chiraprator and I am feeling better.

I guess I should be on this thread. I have lost on average 5.8 lbs a month, but the scale is not going down since lifting weights but I can tell the inchs are coming off. Just remember this is a life long decision we have made. No need to try and drop it all in one year.

I am on a plateau and if I don't get off soon...
Louisianagirl replied to ParaGirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am on a plateau too. My weight goes from 171-174 daily. I guess it is fluid but it is starting to get on my nerves. I do weights every other day for about 30-40 mins a day. Don't feel alone. -
Starting to feel results in my jeans.

When is the right time...
Louisianagirl replied to Jeni 85's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Do plastic surgeons work out deals with you when you are getting a number of areas done? How much does a bodylift cost on average? -
I tried doing sit-ups but it feel like my port would detach, it was really hard.

Stabbing pains................
Louisianagirl replied to Louisianagirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My insurance is switching to a cheaper deductable through work and it goes in effect on the 1st. I see my lapband Dr. on the 4th so I hope I can put it off for a little while, I havn't had a really bad attack since Dec. Another symptom I think I have is nausea, I just ate dinner and I am really nausea. -
When is the right time...
Louisianagirl replied to Jeni 85's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am not worried about my stomach, its my boobs they look horrriable. I need a lift with implants! I will try and get that done some time next year. -
Stabbing pains................
Louisianagirl replied to Louisianagirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes the pain felt like it was in my left breast all over the left side and into the back. The pain is not stabbing anymore but every once in a while I can still feel the feeling is still slightly there in my back area. I will get checked after the 1st of Feb. Thank you! -
I drink like every other weekend. To tell you the truth since being banded I have never had a hang over. It it so crazy, I use to get hung over pretty often but dunno why I don't anymore. I drink what I want, but I am not a beer person. There is this carbonated drink I buy in the can that is like a entergy drink with alcohol in it that the beer company makes and I really like that but you don't need more than 2 cans. oh and I drink it on ice.

Stabbing pains................
Louisianagirl replied to Louisianagirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have searched a good bit but everything on the gallbladder, says the pain is on the right side. I know the pains are stabbing and the deeper you take a breath the more it would hurt. I felt like I didn't want to breathe. thanks so much for the info. -

Stabbing pains................
Louisianagirl replied to Louisianagirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My insurance is switching the 1st of february, so I won't do any test till after. Did the pain stay there for a couple hours or days? My lasting about 2 days and then the next 2 time only lasted like a couple of hours. I haven't had the pain since last week. -
Question: Do you crave healthy stuff now that you are banded?
Louisianagirl replied to MamaJava's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know but it started around Thanksgiving, I have been craving and eating a lot of sweets. I don't know whats wrong with me. I for sure thought the scale would crept up but it hasn't. I'm trying my hardest to stay away from it! THe thing is once I take one bite, I can't stop myself from the next, its like an addiction. -
Redgirl, how many fills have you had? Tomorrow is a year I was bannded, I lost an average of 5lbs or so per month. Total 70lbs.

girls only please...regarding TOM
Louisianagirl replied to bandster_1007's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My Tom has been starting a week early every month since surgery. Pms has been really horriable. Went to the doc and she gave me some kind of fluid pill to take when feeling like I'm about to explode. Mine is pretty wacked since bandded.
