Hi everyone ! I hope everyone is doing well. I don't get on here much or at all anymore but just an update from me. I had surgery September 6th and I am down 60lbs I've got 37 left until I am at goal. I'm very happy with my progress

Thank you everyone it means a lot !

I don't get on here much anymore but I'm so Happy with my progress I just have to share with any and everyone. I'm six months out and I feel amazing ! Down 50 lbs !

Thanks everyone ???˜

Thank you:) I've lost a lot of inches. When the scale wasn't moving the measuring tape was. I'm proof that the number on the scale doesn't always have the last say so! Keep up the good work ladies!

This thread is exactly why I don't come on LBT much anymore. It's sad the bad turn this forum has taken .

What a awesome thread! I am thankful for this little girl She saved my life in so many way. She gives me a reason to live & to push forward. From the moment I knew she was growing inside me I changed. She gave me the motivation to follow my dreams of going to Med school. That journey will begin Fall of 2013. I am thankful for my lap band because it has given be back control of my weight and its the best choice I've ever made. I am also thankful for my boyfriend of five years who has stuck by me through everything. Im hard to deal with at time and he knows just how to deal with me.

I just got my first fill today and he put in 4cc

I just wanted to share my success so far. My surgery was Sept 6th and I started out at 264. I'm 9 weeks out and down 21lbs. Here's a picture . Having this surgery was the best choice I've ever made

Thanks everyone. It feels great!

I'm surprised your allowed to eat anything at three weeks out. You may feel like your healed but on the inside your stomach still has much healing to do. I was told to eat until I'm satisfied not full. For me eating until I'm full is a dangerous thing which got me to be obese.

LBT is just getting ridiculous . All I read are fights & it's always the same people smh

wow at this while thread smh.

I was also banded the sept 6. I have no Fluid in my band and I probably won't until mid November. I feel a lot of restriction even without fluid a few bites and I'm full but what I have to battle with is head hunger. It really gets to me sometimes I have to sit for a while and think "am I really hungry or do I just want to eat?" It's a constant battle but I know if I allowed myself I could eat just as much before surgery. I'd have major problems but I could do it. just try to stick to your cup of food and lots a fluid hang in there

Every surgeon is different but mine says its best not to put fluid in the band during surgery to allow the body to heal properly. so maybe it is empty. You should give your surgeon a call & ask him. Most people don't get adequate restriction until after a few fills.

Sante Fe Turkey Stuffed peppers from skinny taste.com. They were great ! One is only 160 calories but I couldn't even finish one. I recommend these. here's the link http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/09/santa-fe-turkey-stuffed-peppers.html?m=1

I made Mexican shredded chicken on lettuce & cooked broccoli. I got the recipe from emilybites.com. It was great & filling. This would also make an awesome crock pot dish. here's the link http://www.emilybites.com/2012/08/shredded-mexican-chicken.html?m=1
