I am about 21lbs from goal and I get comments from people that new me when I was at my heaviest... They are saying that I am already small enough and constantly trying to give me something to eat. They assume that because I can't eat much it wont hurt for me to have this or that ... It's annoying. I just ignore it though and do my own thing.

Good job everyone! It's the best feeling to see that # Change from 2 to a 1 :smile2: Its still one of the biggest milestones I have seen.

Good luck !

That's wonderful that you're putting out so much effort to help your daughter succeed.... As with any weightloss surgery i think the key to success is your support group. We all need cheerleaders now and then. It's great she has you!

Congrats on the loss so far. You could speed it up as mentioned by the previous poster by doing the pre op diet early... IT's no fun that's for sure but it works. Some doctors have their patients have 2 Protein shakes in the day and a 4oz piece of chicken breast or fish for dinner. Good luck and congratulations to being on the road to a healthier you :smile2:

I would just call and ask since it only takes a minute. My insurance required that I had a bmi over 40 OR 35 with CoMorbities. I didn't have anything wrong with me other than being overweight so I had a bmi over 40 and it was covered.

Hello and welcome to LBT!

Hello and welcome to LBT! I didn't use that surgeon but I wanted to say hello. If you go to the main page you can find a thread by state and you might have more luck finding someone in your state :smile2:

Hello! I didn't have much pain at all. I didn't even really use the pain meds except when I strained myself too hard. I had surgery on Weds and on Friday I cleaned all the carpets in my house (About 2200 sqft) The only discomfort I had was getting up from the laying down position... obviously because it uses so many stomach muscles. I returned to work on the following Monday.

Good morning all. I sure wish it wasn't Monday again already. Looks like it might make it to the 50's today! OMG that's be great.

Congrats on the job.. It sucks when you have to find specific clothes for a job.... Plus it makes it harder on us because our sizes are changing. Although I don't mind the sizes changing... I cant wait to go down 1 more freaking size. I am in between a 10-12. PJTP- I flooded myself with water untintentionally this morning. I just keep drinking.. It's either take a drink or go raid the free candy or popcorn machines in the break room. This place is evil.

I start with a nice clean wallet or purse and after 2 days none of my credit cards are in the wallet they are loose in my purse. I get carded for alcohol and it takes 2 minutes to find it... I am a mess with stuff like that. I guess it's a good thing I don't pay the bills. Lulu.... I am jealous it's 38 degrees and rainy here.

Wow there's alot going on here! I have my anniversary on the 23rd so I have a bit to go. I only lost 3 pounds last month but that is ok. I would like to have 5 this month but if I can even manage 3 again I will be ok. I won't be estatic but atleast it's not going in the wrong direction.

I am stuck at 90lbs. I will be one of the cool kids sooN!

Sounds like you are getting it under control Cubs. I am not a doctor but to coincide with your supplements I would also eat alot of fish. You will bring those lvls up super fast and feel alot better.

Good Job Ebony. WOW soup sounds so good. I have been slacking and havent made any to store at home. Maybe I will use the recipe lulu posted and freeze some.

You're absolutely right! Between facebook and LBT I am sure my boss wont care!

Seriously... I am like 6 pages behind.. I cannot catch up. hello everyone lol

Colorado... I do that too. I found lots of jeans with the tags still on and most were Gap Jeans. Those are gonna have to go soon though.

Well I suppose you could say that. We just wont tell Plain.

Weird I have never heard of sugar. I am not sure I could get it down either. I don't like real sugar. I had problems with hiccups in early banding. They can be really annoying. They were also what I call my soft stop.. If I got hiccups that meant I was full and to stop. Once my food started to go down again the hiccups subsided. Colorado I feel like that sometimes... Then yes I realize 90lbs is alot of freaking weight. I fall off and get back on. I haven't had a fill since last October. I am starting to think that I might need one in the next few months. I only lost a few pounds last month and I can eat more than before. We will see. Maybe if I have a true plateau I will go back in. Hello!! Don't run off :thumbup: We like to see action on the thread. Congrats on the 80lbs thats super! You're right if you're still losing and you're comfortable where you are there is no need for a fill. That could be the sweet spot. As with you my new addiction is shopping. When I say that I might be serious lol. I had to make a trip to goodwill to get rid of my last size and I donated 92 shirts and 28 or so pairs of jeans. I am a good clearance shopper but it's still spendy... Good thing the hubby likes to see me in new clothes!

That was the master plan.... Expose Tap!
