Its weird losing weight this time. I feel like I am losing alot more inches this time around. The last time I was in a 14, I weighed about 180 or so, but now I am fitting into a 14 and I weigh 197. I wonder why that is...

WOW! My goal is 160 and I hope I look 1/2 as good as you! congrats to you!!!

I just posted the same thing. Mine was the day the tom started. I ate so much, I thought, omg, im going to stretch my band if I dont be careful... Luckly it only lasted a day.

Great job girls. This shopping thing could get addicting!

I also gushed to the sales person that I have gone down three sizes in three months and she was like wow, what did you do. I just bursted out that I had lap band. She said wow thats great and said that I need to come back in a few months and show her when I am a 12. Hehe

Whoo Hooo! I also went shopping today because I cleaned out my closet and I have nothing left. There are some great sales going on now. I have been wearing a 16 and they have been getting a little big as well. I went and tried on a 14 and they fit. They are snug, but I can get them on and buttoned and no muffin top LOL. I think that after I wear them for the day they will probably fit good by the end of the day. So I can deal with a little snug for the mornings. hehe I also bought a pair of 12's just cause they were on clearence, so I will have something to shoot for. Thats what I did for the 14's and it worked. Yahhh for us!

I usually have problems with Chicken also. I have to cut it up really really small. But sometimes that doesnt even help. It has gotten a little better since I had an unfill, but It still goes down rough.

Thats funny! Congrats on losing your son (s weight). LOL

When your towel will start to fit around you!! baaaaaaaghhhhhh!!!

wooohooo! Way to go!

mine was about 5 weeks

I've noticed a little also and im a little over 3 months. I had fairly thick hair so I am not to worried yet. If it gets anymore I might start to worry

My port area is right next to my belly button, and I have noticed that if I sit for a long period, it starts to get very tender and sore. It is located right where I bend over and granted I dont have the need to sit alot during the day. I went to a meeting for my son's football team tonight and we had to sit down for about 2 hours and it really started to get sore, so much so that I had to stand for awhile. Does anyone else have this feeling? I am over 3 months post op, so not sure how long this might be tender for or if this is going to be the new norm. ?!? Thanks!

I put on a pair of pj bottoms tonight that i havent worn in awhile. And its a good thing that they have a tie string!!! They are huge on me now Before my thighs would be kinda tight in them, now they look like they are goucho pants . I have it in my mind that I will have to go and out and buy regular clothes, but I seem to have forgotten that I will need to buy pj's, underware, bra's and a whole bunch of stuff once I get to the point where they just wont stay up any longer (even with a draw string) There are a few pair of my pj's that I will be extremely bummed about because they are so comfy now that they are worn in

I would, wish I would have done it sooner.

yuck, im sorry you have such a long drive. have fun on your vaca!

where are you guys on fills. Have you been to the doctor and gotton fills on a regular basis. This shoud be your first step and then take it from there.

aahhwww, how cute is your hubby! my hubby called me a beanpole! uuhhh, thanks honey.

After playing around at 200.6 - 201 for the last two weeks I finally hit Onederland for the past three days in a row (so I think im oficially there) My next official goal is to be at a 14 by the end of the summer and then a size 10 by thanksgiving. Still havent decided if I want to go past that or not. Will have to see how I feel when I get there

loooooove victoria's secret!!!!

This is so normal! I think 99 percent of banders go thru this. Dont worry, if you stick with the program and eat how you are suppose to eat, it will start to work for you! It is a slow process! Keep your chin up and stick with it!!!

Dont do it!!! You can do this!. You just went thru surgery to help you thru this journey. That is a huge step to take, dont ruin so soon. Keep with the program and give the band time to do its thing. We all know that the first couple of weeks or even months are going to be about willpower. But if you can make it thru that and then you can start to rely on the band a little bit more. But it will only work if you work with it. K - speach is over! LOL Good luck

That is the one area where I dont think I am losing enough of. It seems that my arms seem to be still kinda big to what I am losing in other areas. I think I need to work them out a little bit more. I have the Batwings happening as well. But I think they run in my family, I remember my grandma having them as well. LOL I think this might be something that we just have to accept about ourselves or work like heck to try to get them to trim down.
