Oh my goodness Bea! That had to hurt... Not alot is TMI for me lol I hope you get to feeling better very soon. Mom its venting :biggrin: I do it alot. Sure makes you feel better though eh? Ok WTH did they do to the site?

Hi and welcome to LBT! This is a wonderful site to find support. I am sure you will love it here :thumbup:

Congratulations for the the loss you have already had! That will surely give you a jump start into the lap band journey :thumbup: I wish you a very speedy recovery and hope to see you around on the boards.

We all know its get better but it sure feels good to blow off some steam now and then. Mom the band for me is a miracle (when restricted) I was an 11-4 eating machine lol so I know what you mean. Good luck with your next fill I am sure it will tighten it all right back up!

I have lost an elephants penis and a human brain! -63 lbs

Good Morning everyone. My Tom is a few days late I wish it would just come and go so I can get over the bloating hah. Bea you're right you need to relax for a bit and get well. Plus changing things up sometimes jump starts things too. Maybe you will shock your body a bit :tongue:

Does anyone know how to switch back to the dailyplate original site rather than the live strong? Somehow mine only goes to livestrong and I dont really like it.

Well the last post has the wrong weight for me so I am fixing it Name_________StartWeight___CurrentWeight______Goal________ToGo *****<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = V /><V:SHAPETYPE id=_x0000_t75 path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f" filled="f" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600">:cool2:</V:SHAPETYPE>***********:biggrin:*************:tt2:**********:biggrin:****** * agreatknead........204............190...........180...........10 areellady..........189............189...........159...........30 BIGB...............342............342...........300...........42 BellaPerdente......253............223...........195...........28 Boos02.............258............226...........200...........26 Brandy.............221............208...........191...........17 BrownBear..........240............235...........200...........35 Cadets71.........223.4..........223.4...........189.........34.4 Claudine...........250............231...........225...........6 Bunkey1965.........194............177...........170............7 CubsGirl17.........172............161...........150...........11 Cutiew/booty.......251............237...........220...........17 cQQlgirl...........195............191...........175...........16 crzytchr...........276............266...........246...........20 Donna113...........199............192.5.........160...........32.5 Ekat...............527............172...........152...........19 feefee57...........262............212...........180...........32 FeliciaLevy75......240............222...........190...........32 GillieBean.........304............296...........264...........32 HeatherO...........150............143...........130...........13 Hollie ............l54............154...........125...........29 Jeni85.............182............182...........160...........22 Jillbeme...........235..........206.5...........185.........21.5 Josie74............260............255...........215...........40 klmsilva...........216............212...........190...........26 legster............183............183...........160...........23 linksmom...........251............236...........200...........36 Liquidbluegal......225..........214.6...........199.........15.6 Liz_hager..........161............158...........130...........28 Long2BThin.........253............228...........215...........13 lotzasunshine......292............283...........250...........33 Luu2008............230..........199.5...........153.........46.5 Lunabeane..........244...........197............187.........10.0 Mamanmidwife.......295............276...........260...........16 Melissa Aguirre ...266............233...........160....... 73 Melody2006.........223............223...........173...........50 MiniPearl#2........???............???...........???...........??

Wow so you did lose a big chunk of the weight right away Great job. Under 100 to go now :biggrin:

That was one of the greatest recommendations I got at the start of my LB journey as well. I am always promoting the measuring. Whenever the scale has me down the measurements lift me up :thumbup:

Good job Love. How much overall do you need to lose?

Leslie I hopped in on your thread too. I had a goal of 191 on the other thread so I lowered this one to just 198 to make onderland since it's less than 2 months :thumbup: Thanks!

Oh looks like theres 2. I have been doing http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/last-2008-weight-loss-challenge-74034/

Well... I have yet to update my ticker but the fill that I thought was too tight to begin with might be just right! I lost 2 more pounds! I am at 208 now. Since I have adjusted what I am eating and added more calories I have began losing. I am so super happy to be this close to Onderland!

WOW Bea!! Congrats omg that must feel so good :cool2: I know how you have been working your A$$ off literally :biggrin: Thats so super cool. I am out of town right now so I dont have a scale. I feel good I am hoping that means I lost a pound or so. I will weigh when I get home. But TOM is coming this week uggh... I blow up 5-8 lbs more. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Congratulations steve! I hit a sweet spot with my 2nd fill then it slowly opened back up and have now had 1 more fill that brought me to 2.75/4.0cc band. I haven't felt a hunger pang since July its amazing. I forgot to eat sometimes so I have a reminder on my outlook calendar at work and on my palm pilot. I carry ziplock of nuts and such in case I get a reminder and dont have the right foods lol It's a wonderful thing to have this kind of restriction. I wish you the best in your lapband journey and hope you maintain the restriction for a long time to come :smile2:

6 months and 61 pounds gone with 50 to go.. I am over the moon excited and happy with my band :smile2:

Ouch I am sorry :smile2: Mine is right above my belly button

Good morning everyone! It's friday and payday for me so thats a plus :teeth_smile: I actually lost 1 pound Oh well I will take it 1 pound every 7 days still adds up I guess lol. I really want to be in Onderland before xmas which means I gotta lose 10 pounds I think that's realistic. Congrats on your 5k time that's absolutely wonderful! Happy Halloween everyone and I wish you all great willpower to keep away from the candy bowls tonight. I know I will need it lol I am sooooooo looking forward to November and December I am in concert bliss! I have Metallica tomorrow, Nov 7th Danzig, November 20th Cheech and Chong, December 7th NIN!

I was allowed to wear mine and it comes off easily.

What a great story :biggrin: Hello and Welcome to LBT! Congratulations on such a great weight loss in a short amount of time! Hope to see you around the forums :thumbup:

It was worth every second of it. I doubted everything leading up to my surgery even though I worked so hard to get the surgery. When someone has an issue they tend to be more vocal... That is why the negatives sometimes seem to be more abundant. But you have to realize that the positives severly outweigh the negatives with this surgery. I am 6 months out and over 1/2 way to goal. I love my band. I had a fast recovery and after fills great restriction. Everyones journey is different but for the most part everything that 'can' happen is a minor complication that is easily fixed. you will be fine you need to take control of you health and your future. If you chose to go this far with setting up the surger you must have needed it. I would follow through and in 6 months you will be looking back like me going omg I did it and made it this far!
