Can my band really only hold 4cc
hopetolose replied to Firecallie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hate to say it, but if hes your new Dr. then he might be looking to do a revision to get some money out of you Are you still losing weight at all? Be sure to get a second opinion before you do anything!! good luck!! -
I have lost a little in my face but I have a round shaped face, so not sure how much difference he will see there. He will probably notice the difference in "the girls" first. I think thats why he was ok with my weight before LOL

I guess I cant talk about it anymore!
hopetolose replied to hopetolose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, thats pretty bad! I know chemo can be hard, but if it can save your life? Weird what people will say. The girl at my work is fairly big that made the comment. Its her choice on how she wants to live her life. This is what I choose and I will live with the drawbacks of the band because the outcome is going to be worth it. I feel better already!!! -

Listen To Your Body
hopetolose replied to kaydin81's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I start to kinda hiccup and if I listen to it and obey it, I will be fine. When you start to have restriction you really have to start listening to your body. still learning that part now, 3 months out. -

Slow weight loss/Plateau
hopetolose replied to carymom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yuo, happens to alot of people! I lost about 15 the first two weeks and then stopped for about three weeks. and then your body will be getting healed and stop freaking out and decide to lose again. But you need to stick with the diet, dont get discouraged. it will come off. You will more than likely lose inches during this time!!!! good luck! -
No gas pains? Then u did do good! Pretty much after the gas pains go away (about a week) you should be home free pain wise. I still felt a little sore at the port site but very tolorable. Be thankful you had a good time of it and keep trucking along. good luck to you!

Ok, so I had my third fill on the 7th. I lost 6 lbs right away. And now I am playing with a pound up and down for the past week 1/2 now. Which really is irking me because I am 3 lbs from Onederland!!! I did this with the last couple of fills also. I lost really good for about a week or so and then nothing for awhile. Then in about two weeks I might start losing about 1 lb a week again. Weird!! Im averaging about 2 lbs per week still, so I am not to worried and I am still going down. Its just weird how it works like that. (or am I the only one) 202 Baby........ so almost theeeerreee

Sixty Down & Forty to go....
hopetolose replied to nomorejellybelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats to you! I cant wait to get to 1/2 way. That will feel pretty good! I just posted the same thing about the way that I am losing. I get a fill and drop big and then play around with 1-2 lbs for awhile and then I will lose 1 lb a week for a couple of weeks a then I am ready for a fill again. Weird -
I can't burp but feel like I NEED to!!
hopetolose replied to MomTo2Boys's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:rolleyes:Ohhh how I wanted to burb for those first few weeks. I remember it was about two weeks afterwards and I finally let out just a tiny one but it felt soooo goood. -
Im in 16s and almost 14s right now (i tried a 14 on and I got it zipped) so I probably could go shopping at a normal store, but I want to wait at least 10 more lbs or so. I want to be IN a size 14 well before I go in. Its amazing how differently things fit at different stores! congrats to you! I hope you find a great dress!

you look so tiny! I like the new pic!

Falling off the wagon....
hopetolose replied to hokdo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
if you absolutly need to eat, try some cottage cheese or yogurt. that has some Protein in it and you want to get as much protein as possible. You will want to stay away from carbs, like cracker and such. I know this stage is tough but the longer ypu can survive on this stage, the more you will lose and you will heal also. good luck! -

Anyone afraid of Failing??
hopetolose replied to amys0703's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think everyone goes thru this feeling. I felt like I was going to be the only person to spend 10000 and not lose any weight. But I think that motivates me alot too, I spent 10000 and I am gonna lose weight. no matter what. I have 4 more lbs and I am 1/2 way to my goal. I dont think thats to bad for 13 weeks! you will do great! -
good luck getting back on track! I would be sad also if I gained 8 lbs. But you can do it.!!!

congrats! I have three pounds til im there. cant wait to join ya!

I was at target and saw some cute capri rollup jeans and they were on sale for like 11 bucks, so I decided to get them. I went for a size smaller thinking I would get in them eventually. went home and tried them on and I could get them all the way up but not buttoned But it is so close, they are 14's. I was jumping up and down cause I should be able to wear em in maybe 5-10 more lbs maybe. yeaaaahhhh! I think I might hit onderland some this week or next also. I seem to be losing more in my thighs than I usually do also, because I usually cant get on pants and not have them fit around my waist. I have the thunder thigh problem. Anyway, I was a bit happy with my dizcovery
