OH i am sooooooo happy today. I have not weighed myself in a few weeks, but one of the football mom's asked me if i had lost more weight. i said no i don't think so. so i hopped on the scale this morning and low and behold I was 191! i couldn't believe it. i had to get on the scale again to make sure last time i weighed i was 202. i had upped my protein, cut out alot of carbs and have been walking again. i am 31 lbs to my goal and i am estatic. i have not been under 200 in 7 years, since i was pregnant with my first child.

I Don't Want This Lap Band......
screeden replied to BreBre's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
once you start eating foods again, things will be much better. this is bandster hell, having to eat mushy, soft foods while everyone else pigs out on whatever is hard. but think of it like this, they are eating huge quantities of food and now you won't be, therefore you will be losing weight. don't give up! you are still really new! it will get better. -
Reading About Too Many Band Removals???
screeden replied to JennyBee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i still love my band, i am one year out now, and lost 55 lbs now. do i wish it was more, of course. but i am happy with my weightloss and my decision. i personally would not want the sleeve, not in agreement with having half my stomach removed, but hey to each their own. you are going to find negativity with everything out there. some have band failures because of the band itself, others it is because they chose to not eat like they should have in the first place. i have learned to not let the haters get to me -
I am not hungry at all in the mornings, so I have a protein shake first thing after my morning coffee so i get 1/2 my protein for the day immediately. usually for lunch is tuna, chicken or egg salad. for dinner, i am a crockpot cooker i find recipes that are band friendly, and kid friendly too. i make sure i get my protein in first, then my veg and some starch. i drink water throughout the day too. you will get it soon. it takes some time. go to lapband.com and there are some recipes on there for all stages.

might need a slight unfill. it is amazing just taking out a tiny amount will feel soooo much better. i had to have one done a month ago and it felt so good. i wasn't so dang tight that it hurt. i had only 0.2cc taken out and it was great, instant relief.

Dr. Malley is part of that Network who accepts patients from other surgeons. he is in Overland park and his staff and him are awesome. Not sure how much fills and visits are.
