I logged on to my old calorie/weight tracker the other day.... I'm close to 90lbs higher than I was 3 years ago. Yikes. Definitely on the right track by getting WLS.

Wow! You look like you don't have any excess skin or anything! Awesome! -
New To This Website, Just Got My Lapband On Tuesday 8/28/12
Mystie replied to Cpvillacis's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats on getting banded! Good luck with your journey! -
I was told at least 60 grams as well, and was told not to have more than 30g at a time because the body can't process more than 30 at once.

Newbie And Dietician (Vent!!!)
Mystie replied to cmd's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know with my program some of the people involved are on the approval board and some aren't. I believe my dietician is, but my behavioral health specialist is not, but it could be different from hospital to hospital. -
Was down 12lbs at this month's appt and felt great, but the dietician says only 4lbs of it was fat. 2lbs was muscle (wtf?) and the rest was water.

My husband's not home and I'm on the rag. I really want to order a pizza and eat the whole thing. Don't want to have to explain that one in the food journal, though. Dietician appt on Weds...

My First Incounter With You Took The Easy Way Out With Lap Band
Mystie replied to susansoul's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ugh, I hate that. Aside from the fact that it's not easy (it's not like it's liposuction!), it almost comes across to me as "you don't deserve easy" when I hear about people saying it. Yeah. Cuz growing up fat was easy. Continually losing weight on diets and gaining it back was easy. Feeling huge and having to fear waking up in the morning and not being able to fit in your pants is easy. God forbid someone would do something that might make weight loss and a healthier lifestyle a little easier for them. -
Stepped on the scale before dinner out of curiousity. It says I'm down like 10lbs since I weighed 2 days ago. Such lies.

Got my "Pounds Lost" jars made. I wasn't sure hurricane jars would be big enough, so I got small vases. Any bigger and I'd of had to use a friggin urn.

Got Approved Today! Time To Quit Talking And Do It!
Mystie replied to fostermomma's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats on your approval and best of luck!!!!! For your pre-op diet are you only allowed liquids or can you do a no-carb diet? -
I feel way too big anymore to even have sex comfortable. Hoping when I lose I'll get my groove back

I saw this on Pinterest, too. Your's looks way simpler, though. Are those just adhesive letters? Man, I could probably buy all this stuff at Dollar Tree! -
Gallbladder Coming Out Tomorrow
Mystie replied to Wisdom2KnowTheDifference's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, gallbladder surgery isn't terrible. I was eating Chinese food again in 3 days after I had mine out. It's just moving around in bed and stuff that's sucky for a few days. -

Today I Did Something I Hadnt Done Since Hs
Mystie replied to JinTx's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
WOO HOO, sounds fantastic! The embarrassment of not being able to fit on rides is awful -- on my honeymoon I went to Universal and got kicked off Harry Potter for being too big, even though I'd already ridden it twice earlier. I never, ever, ever want to go through something like that again. Show those inner tubes who's boss! Lol! -
It Is The Band That Erodes, Not Your Stomach
Mystie replied to lappyloo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Lol, you're quite the expert Lap-Bander. Sounds like you researched like heck before you were banded! -
Has anyone had good luck buying smaller size clothes ahead of time when they find them on clearance? When I was still pregnant and clearing things out for the baby I got rid of any clothes that were more than a size or two smaller than my pre-pregnancy clothes ("I WILL NEVER FIT INTO THESE AGAIN AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!"). I don't want to start buying a ton of stuff, but i figured things like underwear, camis, t-shirts, and jeans when I find ones on super clearance are a pretty safe bet.
