kauai bound

Nervous about this. TT on Friday!!

That is awesomeness! I have been trying to reply, everybody is doing so well!! I've lost 85 total now. 24 to 14 and loving it. The weight loss has slowed a lot! I need to boost it back up . Still afraid of it coming back. I've lost 115 once before.

That is awesome and it feels great. I have lost 85 since last January! I am loving life and my band too.

Ms Lady With the surgery I would expect a small gain. They give you an iv and drugs. no worries. You will be fine. not a failure just a bump in the road. Did anyone elses doctor tell you just to eat a half a cup of food at one time? and only three a day? I havent been able to stick to that. Maybe w restriction? I am in 18's the smallest size left in my closet. Im thinking in January I get to go shopping. I am still stuck at thirty pounds but still shrinking in size. I am glad i did this. I am so looking forward to loosing more, and already feeling heathier. In january i was wearing a size 24. : )

I get the chicken strips. High protein, peanut oil. Swallows good. It's a treat.

I had my second fill last week. I ve had trouble eating bread and flour totillia since but I am still able to eat mire than a cup. Is that normal? It will get to where I can't over eat ( if I don't drink). Right??? I also had trouble w my frozen margarita. That surprised me. But I guess it makes since if we are suppose to drink something hot every morning. Does everyone else drink hot in the morn?? I haven't had to just yet.

40 is Awesome!!! I'm stuck at 30! It's funny how you lose inches but not pounds or pounds but not inches. I haven't measured. But I have changed clothing sizes. I meant to tell y'all my fill didn't hurt. It was done under a screen. One stick. Done by the doctor. And was wiped w alcohol. He was done before I was done talking!! Lol he said I could have a fill in 3 weeks but they are so busy i wasn't able to get scheduled til 4.

My doctor also suggested a work out change. He told me to try Kettle Worx. Has anyone tried it?

Oh glad to hear someone else plateau. Sorry for you though. I just got my second fill. Now at 3.5. doc says I may feel something after my next fill. He saud are bodies are "morphing" for the first twelve weeks. We should start seeing a difference at twelve weeks. He said try a kettle bell to change up my workout. Wondering why I am on fluids today since I won't "feel" anything for another month. Lol. It's progress in the process. : )

Foamed like a mad dog!! Love it. Y'all make me smile. I'm getting my fill tomorrow!! Looking forward to losing again. It's been six weeks. So I started at a 24 and I can wear 18 all day but a bit tight. I've lost 30. But 50 since January. I feel better. My feet feel better. But I'm still not happy w pictures of myself. I wanna lose 50 more. To 180. 12 is no way fat!! I'd be happy with 14. Lol

I bought one a day gummy vitamins at SAMs. I love them. I m scheduled for a fill on Wednesday. Hope I can get off this plateau. Let me kno if the probiitics help. I like my shakes.

I am getting a much needed fill next Wednesday. I still haven't had any loss, since October 6th. I'm staying positive though. I did lose alot fast. Looking forward to losing again. Glad I can read about everyone else. It helps me get through. Slow and steady....

Sounds like I am not the only one that is to hard on myself. I think this is going to be an everyday journey. Some days I am not under control. I realize I have to do better and try again the next day. I ve always been an all or nothing girl when it comes to weight loss, but this is the rest of my life. Ive lost thirty. Youve lost more. Bits at a time are better than none and maybe better for our skin. You give your child patients, give yourself some. I am talking to myself too. Dont throw in the towel. Just try again in the morning.

It really is a relief to read others experiences. I had a girls weekend out this weekend. Ive been eating fine, without getting pain or anything stuck. I drove 5 hrs to the beach to scrapbook all weekend. We went to eat fajitas. I took a bite and swallowed. it hurt badly. felt like i was stretching my esophagus as it was going down. I went to the restroom and tried to get it to come up. It did not. I had some spasms too. This morning I tried to eat a sandwhich and had the same pain. Does anyone else wonder if you are damaging your esophagus or damaging the band when that happens?? so afraid to damage anything. I go for a fill next week. I am glad because my will power isnt working right now. so how long should our first plateaus last? My thirty pounds loss included the pre diet. I am married. Twenty four years next month, One child, one 7 mo grandbaby.

It's such a relief to hear others are stuck as well. I have weighed the same fir two weeks now. I'm six weeks out. I've lost thirty pounds. It's hard to be stuck when you were having great loss. The thirty includes the pre diet. How ling di we plateau? I can eat anything I want too right now.

I had banded plication surgery on Sept 6. Hows everyone doing? Ive been pretty hungry. I have lost 25 pounds including the pre diet. I got a fill today of 1.5 Ive been pretty happy with it so far.

I am in Burleson, Tx. I use to go through Mexia often on the way to houston.

you guys made me feel better too! I had banded plication surgery on the 6th. Ive just lost 6 pounds since then. I thought w the plication I was suppose to lose fast. But i guess i gotta heal. Its just silly to eat so little and not see the scales drop. Please keep posting to us newbies. I dont know anyone personally to ask questions!!

I had banded plication surgery on the 6th. Ive only lost 6 pounds. I thought it would be more. the swelling seems to be down. about 700 calories a day. I am getting my proteins. Anyone else slow losing? or is this normal?

Good Luck on your surgery!! Congrats on your 48 pound loss.. I had mine done sept 6. Im curious to know how your energy is and what you eat in a day?

I just got my banded plication on the 6th. you lost 30 in MONTH?? did you eat all your proteins? I feel like im forcing myself to eat...should I not force the protein shakes?? But im going back to work wednesday..... I neeed more energy.

Hello My Name is Tammy. I had lapband plication surgery on September 6. I am doing better, just no energy and still have gas pain. I had the surgery in Ft. Worth. My doctor is Dr. Smith with Ft. Worth Lapband. I have been very happy with him and his staff. I started on the six month insurance program in January at 280 pounds. I weighed 248 at the beginning of my pre op diet. Four days after my surgery, I weigh 240. I am happily married . November will be our 24 anniversary. Our insurance did not go through. We ended up self pay. My husband is very supportive.

I am four days out.. I dont like the broth.. Are you drinking Protein shakes too? so worried about stretching my pouch

I was banded on the 6th.
