HOLY CRAP i have received FLAK for me saying just 94 let me redo my post please before a certain number of gals i know hang me from the highest cactus tree so sammy hagar cant reach me.. I have lost 94 pounds since June 6. how f***ing great is that. is that better my peeps??????????

did you call your military insurance? (tricare is what i have). i am sure they could offer you something...keeping fingers crossed you get the answer you are looking for.

i must not have read that..apparently for good reason.

do you think a probiotic would help? my dr put me on that 2 days post and it (helped me alot).

another fantastic post sharon. may i add....it shouldnt matter how long it takes you to get there but as long as you get there........what i keep telling myself

i agree deedee. we all have had a weight problem. and we know how it feels to have this surgery. alittle kindness goes along way and compassion. i try to have alittle of each. although i admit, i at times can become incensed as the sheer stupidity of those who seemingly dont care.

great post. thanks for sharing your thoughts

I admit I have never thought about it slipping. I am doing what I need to in order to help it. I feel me worrying about something that may or may not happen wont do anything but cause me to go even more nutso that I already am. You are gonna do fine.

i think (letting your doctor) know what is going on is the best thing and staying away from the doctor is the worst thing. in my opinion, the dr is the one who can help you..i do hope you get to feeling better

yes, i have several body piercings besides the ears and was like WTF when i had to take them out. by far my nose ring was the hardest. maybe call and ask your dr if they can leave your nose one in. the worst they can say is no. ..but if you need to get it took out, i am sure any piercer will take it out. i had to go and have them put mine back in. yes it hurt/stung but i lived and sitting here typing this to you now.

eating (is not bad)...eating is good and when making good food choices, even better. so you ate something. if you feel you dont do (good) one meal, do better the next. i found by knocking my head on my desk at work when my co-worker todd keeps messing up does not make it any better, only gives me a head ache.......so i will be a copy cat....some times you just gotta go oh well and move on..

i agree with this. although that pesky scale does not move (or is moving at a snails pace), it is working. i go by how loose my clothes are or are they getting to big that i def need to buy new underwear just stay with it...keep eating the proteins/veggies/fruit/drink alot and exercise. it will work and it will show...even if you dont think it is..

doubts about what? the band not working or you not following the guidelines? you are a smart girl who made a excellent choice to make herself well...congrats to you. you are currently healing from major surgery and need to rest and let your body get back to normal. your feelings will go up and down...i know mine sure did as to WTF was i thinking? but i remembered, this tool..is gonna help me walk again and lose weight..think of the big overall picture. no need to doubt if you listen to your doctor and do what they advise you to do. you can do it sweetie. i promise.

have you went to a lap band seminar? they would def have alot of information that you are asking about (also some excellent websites with those answers). this forum you will get a varied response as we are all different. i will make my answer short and sweet. if you think you cant do this, you are right. this surgery offers you a tool to help you lose weight. you have to change your thinking to eating better food and begin to exercise and follow the lap band guidelines. so is the surgery something for you? only you can answer. but if you continue to do what you are doing now, you will only stay the same or get bigger, which was what happened to me. you have to want to lose weight bad enough to do something about it.
