I was just woundering if anyone has had a lower body lift done and if so where and about how much did it cost and of coures how was the pain involved???? thanks:biggrin1:

laralynn, I know just how you feel because i am the same way it was like reading my own exact story word for word i thought i probally was the only one

i have had no problem with salad i use only romaine and spanich because there is no nutrition in iceberg

i was on it for awhile and it seemed to help but after a few days of taking it i was like a zombie and was almost unresponsive and could not function but it is different for everyone just thought i would give you my experience good luck and hope things start looking up for you:p

i also had this happen alot to me before a fill and i too had to get it out to feel better i had my first fill and it seem not to happen as much but it is probally because i am learning to slow down and eat smaller bites which is the reason for this hell any way i had my second fill and it is happening a little more so my doc. said to divide my meal into 4 sections and make it last over about a 25 min period and it is hard for me because i have always been a fast eater but it helps alot and if you eat too fast you dont feel the fullness when it really hits because you are already done then stuffed.:speechles

:clap2: congrats sunshine that is great keep up the good work:p

hi i just wanted to give some info my mother had the GB done about 5 years ago and she is still thin she had a very hard time and she has to take b12 shots every month along with other vits. as we all should be with GB you have to because your body is not asorbing all the nut. she has said she wish she would have had the band because it is ajustable but it takes alot more will power and drive as we all know. my mother lost lots of weight fast and got to me grossly thin now she looks great. my doctor told me at my first consult that GB can mess with hormones and was true for my mom. so i guess the thing you have to do is look at the whole picture everyone is different my uncle is extermely over weight and myself having teh lapband and my mom having the bypass i know he needs the bypass he is way to large and has no idea of healthy eating or self control, he would not be able to do the liquid dites after a fill not and expecially before and after the surgery and he would not be able to own the fact that if you eat bad stuff you will not lose weight it would always be someone elses fault not his. i dont mean to sound mean but i am being honest so i hope he dont let his fear of the GB stop him becaues he is going to die if he dont do something.

I can feel my port as well which it kind of grosses me out to thin i have that in there and it seem after you work out you can feel it even more:rolleyes

i had my second fill today so wish me luck my first did nothing for me he started with 1cc no i have 1.8cc in a 4cc band so we will see:)

thanks for all the support but is true you have inspired me to get going you have done great andit should not make anyone feel bad each person puts in what they want to get back and i have slacked but not anymore so keep up the good work and i hop i can inspire someone like you have me !! i am going to get the bfl book today and get started i have a wedding to go to soon and i wanna look my best.

yea i would love all the info i kinda read the work out plan and it was a little confussing so maybe i will get the book you have done great you were banded 1 day before me and have lost 20 more lbs i know i could have been doing better with the food choices but now i am ready to kick it in gear

sunshine do you have to buy the program to do the body for life program ? I would love to do it with you let me know thanks

i also had stitches and staples and so i have marks from the staples as well as the cut but they are healing up pretty well i have been putting alot of vit. E cream on them

i do mine workouts in the evening because i am not a morning person but maybe i will start getting up with my husband at 5:30 and doing the first workout then :faint:

I go to the gym 5 days a week a one day i do arms abs and cardio and the next i do legs abs and cardio. my goal is to start doing cardio twice a day 1 hour each

I accidently swallowed a pice of gum does that automatically mean problems i have not had my first fill yet so hopefully that makes a difference . does anyone know what signs to look for indicating a problem thanks for the help

designer whey is not to bad i also get it at GNC

I am almost 2 weeks post op and i am still very sore i have to sit alot and it is killing me also the spot where they cut me above my belly button is very hard it feels like a rock inside my stomach has any one had these problems before or having them now

I need some help i just tried to eat my dinner and it felt like it got stuck in my chest i almost felt like i couldnt breath then it came up is this what BPing is

Cindy I agree with you on the most part but I think your a little wrong to say that you could go with out protein not everyone is the same I know personally I CAN NOT go without I do get the shakes and very sick even vommiting so you should understand everyone has different needs and problems itswounderful you are doing so great but not everyone can be so perfect maybe for enterprise she just want to feel good again and when she does she will work on the weight loss

I know exactally how you feel i am so full of burps and pain as well i cant even where my "fat" cloths because of how swollen i still am. when you said you went to solid food what kind did you mean because i still get really weak and have bad nausea as well, I hope you get to feeling better soon and we have to keep telling our selves it will be worth it i hope [/font][/size]

I was banded 1-19-07

I am having the same problem trying to figure out if my pain is gas, mental hunger or real hunger and then when i eat even like 2 teaspoons of something i am in alot of pain and i dont know if it was from eating to much or gas i am so frustrated and confused dont know if i made the right choice with the whole band thing i have lost like 20lbs but am still so bloated and swollen i cant even wear my fat pants how long did it take everyone else to not be so swollen?

i feel like i can feel my band or maybe the port still sore on liquids but feel hungery all the time want to go to mushy food but trying to be strong i still feel week and light headed even though i am eating soups and and drinking protine shakes help:faint:
