Good Morning all. I don't have a loss to report :tongue2: I will survive though as the scale has been super good to me last week... especially since it was a holiday. I started the 5 day pouch test today to get back on track. I hate new years resolutions so I am starting early haha. This is the first year I don't have a resolution of being under 200 by the next year :huh2:

Here I am day 1 of liquids! I am all in :tongue2: -
I would get a fill. When you say you eat and eat ... how much? Maybe start with measuring everything u eat, do not drink while eating, eat Proteins first. If you're consuming more than you think that you should after measuring the food I would get a fill.

Hello everyone I have been outta town for the Holidays. I just returned and saw this thread. I think it's wonderful! I am in. I wont be able to start till tomorrow though. I am doing it because it seems my restriction has loosened slightly. I think it will be a good way to show me if I need a fill or not. I am with Lulu -- Ignore the 'noise' I think I will only do 1 day of liquids though then start the pouch test Tuesday. -

Thats awesome news Colorado! I wish her a very speedy recovery. So she did get her christmas miracle eh? Well I am doing great... despite my band opening up some and being able to eat more I woke up down another pound. Every pound I lose now is really exciting since I am under 200 now and it's getting close to time for hawaii!! Hope everyone had a very safe happy holiday.
-
I am so sorry for her Colorado :thumbup: You should have her join our thread or does she post on LBT? Well I have worked through a tight fill for the last 2 months. I can eat probably a max of 1/4 cup if its straight meat or if its veggies and stuff 1/2 cup... so I eat many times a day. A miracle happened on xmas. I went under 200 and my band loosened up enough that I was able to eat a moderate amount.. Not over doing it at all but I ate a comfortable amount. Enough that my family was like wow you ate something! I never even came close to a PB hooray! Bea- I am sorry to hear that. I hope that when you ge your fill that you can straighten it out with your doctor. Is it possible for him to put a note in your file that its common for you to have slight unfills and such? I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday./
-
hang in there cause I never thought those couple pounds would fall off lol Not sure I will talk to you before Friday so I wish your daughter a seamless surgery and a very speedy recovery... and the best for you family at xmas.
-
Oh man my DH knew what it was.... NASTY For sure a guy thing.
-
I am on my 3rd fill now, tell me if this is normal
Brandy~ replied to zeama's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I wouldn't beat yourself up over a few pounds and youre doing the right thing by getting fills. I never experienced what you are... But it could make sense since you're satisfied quicker you're eating less so you might be getting hungry sooner. Are you making sure to eat your Protein first then filler food? The protein should keep you satisfied alot longer. -
Before you have surgery- read this-warning
Brandy~ replied to VegasGrace's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well I guess I was/am the lucky few so far. I am not in hell... I am in heaven! I haven't had 1 pain that wasn't associated with healing post op, had 3 fills (was numbed for all of them) I don't diet, I have a ton of energy, I sip when I eat (even tho not spose to) and I haven't been ill this year. I went from on the verge of taking insulin to having no signs of diabetese in 8 months. I would recommend this surgery again and again. -
Thanks!! Absolutely made my christmas :thumbup:

I want to be my own before/after picture!!!
Brandy~ replied to JDsmommy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow from your stats you're doing very well. You will have your own before and afters. You're doing absolutely wonderful! Keep up the great work and you will be there. -
Wow sounds like we have the same name (Great name I might add) Same weight, and same husband.. Omg now im freaked out lol. I went back and forth from 200-202 for weeks then this morning BAM 199. I own it and never looking back haha. I wanted to get to 199 for xmas and nothing like waiting till the last minute eh? I did it. My next goal is the same as yours (I am creeped out jk) I want to be 184ish because that's what my DH is... he goes from 182-186 depending on the day lol. I haven't been less than him since we have been together for 8 years.. That is going to be an awesome day too. Hopefully it won't be that far away either. Were going to Kuaui in February and I can go under 200!!!
-
I am sure like the other said that he was just sending it as a funny quote and not to insult or insinuate that's how you should be either. I am super sensitive when close relatives to me make jokes or send me something that could in someway be directed towards me.... even though it never really is. I just have a messed up way of thinking though.

I need more gun powder for this magic bullet.
Brandy~ replied to LaneyC's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't feel hunger pangs and haven't since my 3rd or 4th fill about 4 months after surgery. I eat strictly by the clock. I was very disgruntled too when I could still eat and was always hungry.... The second they put the fill in there and you feel satisfied you will know it. I walked into the fill starving and walked out and forgot to eat :thumbup: -
Average age of a Bandster?
Brandy~ replied to Kellster's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was gonna post the exact same thing! I was 32 but wish I would of done it MUCH sooner. -
Ceradad~ You brought tears to my eyes :thumbup: I am very sorry for your loss. I can see how it would bring a whole new meaning to Christmas. Many do not know what they have till it is gone. Family is so very important. I wish you and your family the best this holiday season and a healthy one.

Good Morning all and Merry Xmas or Xmas eve morning!? lol Either way it's 430 here :thumbup: I woke up at 3am to use the restroom... I decided to weigh and I hit Onederland. I plan to tell anyone that will listen... even the ones that don't listen. Colorado that's a very nice quilt :thumbup:
