Omg, girl!! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that!! Keep your chin up and stay positive and you'll feel better before you know it.

that would be super!!!

I hope I will look as great as you!!!!! You look amazing!!

Yeah, if placed correctly the lapband isn't interfering with the fundus.

I'm not certain that's true. My sister had the lap band (she's currently in recovery from a conversion to the sleeve as I type this) and lost 120+ pounds and still had her fundus until Monday. She started being cold at about 50 pounds lost, which was in the first year. That was 10 years ago. We are from Oklahoma. When it's 90 degrees she will finally wear a short sleeve shirt. She's always freezing. Always. I lost 65 pounds when I got a divorce in 08. I lost it rapidly, as the divorce was very rough and I hardly ate. Within a month of losing that much weight so fast I had to have my gall bladder removed. Plus I started to always be cold. I kept a hoodie or cardigan with me all the time. (Of course I packed that weight back on, plus some, which is why I'm getting sleeved). So I think it's weight loss in general.

thank you!!!!!

thank you!!!!!

Sounds so much like me. But I would skip meals and then when I was hungry I'd over eat. It was usually me eating food that wasn't nutritious and late at night where there was no way of working those calories off. April

This is what the OP says. And you tell her to ignore her nutritionist. She herself says she needs help. Geez

My final nutrition appointment is December 6, then I meet back up with the surgeon to finalize everything and set my date.

It is comical that you believe by posting such long diatribes you believe yourself an expert on nutrition and tell someone to ignore their nutritionist. My surgeon is at a Center of Excellence. My nutritionist is extremely intelligent and explains why I need to eat what I need to eat. In-depth. My THINKING was like many here. (I know I shouldn't eat this but I'll exercise tomorrow. I'll treat myself to this Bc ....... . I've skipped Breakfast and lunch so I'm now ravenous to the point I'll eat anything. I'm lonely so I'll pop in a DVD and snack. Etc. the list could go on and on because the majority of us are food addicts. Plain and simple.) So guess what, I can't trust my thinking when it comes to food, and until I can I'll follow my nutritionist and continue to see my therapist about my food issues. When I say they can fix my stomach I believe they do. They fix my stomach to hold less. To the point that, when I follow my nutritionist's plan for me to eat Proteins first, then veggies, followed by good carbs, I'll lose weight. Be as irresponsible with your advice-giving as you want, to whomever you wish. I just hope the OP doesn't follow your advice.

Wow, in a month? I bet you're mouth is watering already. Lol

Welcome!! You will find lots of answers to weightloss questions and amazing support here

This is actually comical. Trusting ourselves is what got us here. Listening to ourselves is why we're FAT. Listen to your NUT and your surgeon. I've read on here a million times; surgery can fix your stomach but not your head.

maybe. My nut is allowing it Bc so many of the others literally make me so sick I can't stay out of the restroom. Lol

My last appointment is December 6 and I cannot wait!!! Hopefully our wait for final approval won't be long

They are by Swanson and are in the box type containers that Swanson broths come in.

Any time. I just wish I could've been more helpful.

I just sent you one. Maybe you'll get it. Lol

I do that. If I gorge myself with dessert I feel like I'm starving when I wake up. If I eat lean and green I'm not hungry at all and actually skip breakfast and/or lunch (a big no-no). But mine is with sweets. If I have dessert the night before.

He lives in Hansville but is from Poulsbo, a little Norwegian town. Last time I visited I just fell in love with the entire beauty of the area. Everyone we ran into thought my Okie accent was "adorable" but I was trying hard not to sound to much like a redneck. Lol He wants me to come soon, but with everything I have going on I just can't. All of this pre-surgery stuff is keeping me busy. Maybe in January. What part of the state do you live in?

I love Jodi Picoult, baldachi, and your basics like koontz, king, Patterson, etc. but truthfully, if you put it in my hands I'll read it. I have to admit, my daughter had to read The Hunger Games for school so I read it as well. Loved it so much I got the other two. Lol

I'll look up some of Janet Evanovich's other books for my kindle. I bet you're right and I'll love them. My daughter loves her, too. She just sits and laughs and laughs

I've only read the Plum series. Lulu is my favorite character!!! And her grandmother. The movie "One For the Money" was ok, but of course the book was way better.

Oh girl, long story. It's a long distance thing. He has to go back across the country to Washington state.
