After 8 months on the band, i have lost 56lbs and i am half way to my goal weight!! life is just getting sweeter and sweeter! here are my most recent before/during pictures. See kats pics below. i couldn't get mine to resize smaller but kat did. Thanks kat!!

i can't believe you've lost so much!!!! I'm down 56lbs since August
-
i'm in there now!

you should talk to your band doctor it is probably time for an adjustment. you may not make your goal in two weeks, but like others said think about your junior and senior years.

i think its a great idea. i plan on my one year bandiversary to send a letter to my insurance company thanking them. I think showing how grateful and healthier we are is a great way to get others improved.

thanks Kat. i kept trying to resize the pics. but they still looked big!

I started out at a 22, and now wear an 18. It sucks being short sometimes *sigh* I have no idea what my goal size is. anything under a 10 would be dreamy a 4-6 would be like a dream come true. I'll just have to wait and see where my band takes me.

yup,i had this problem and it has almost completely gone since loosing 50lbs

I went to the DMV today to take care of some business and showed the teller my DL, she looked at the DL, looked at me, looked back at the DL and said "sweety we need to retake your picture, i barely can tell your the same person!" :clap2: :clap2: So this is just a reminder, keep tabs on your photo ID pictures like passports and DL!

I've got a Partial Slip! Thoughts on re-positioning?
Desi80 replied to jigglypuff's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
try liquids only for a week, somethis this causes the swelling to go down and the stomach to slip back into place and you wont need surgery, doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. -
I would be ok with it, my surgeon hadn't done very many either ( like 30) the good thing is that because this is new they will be extra careful to make sure they are doing it right and there should be a procter there who is watching to make sure things are done right.
-
thanks for checking in! I'm glad your doing ok. Thanks for all the input, i'm storing that away for when its my turn. Are you glad you did it all at once or do you wish, you would have done them seperate.
-
oh yeah, i keep looking at my DL like "wow" i dont think i've EVER been so eager to get my DL picture taken :biggrin1:

I was banded in August too and i've lost 50lbs, so really your doing good, it doesn't seem like it but your still in the 1-2lbs a week average. Just be patient, slow and steady wins the race.

Does anyone Chew and spit just to get the mental out of the way?
Desi80 replied to elain31's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i have found chewing gum really helps with this as well as far as chewing and oral fixation. -
Soda.......to drink or not to drink??
Desi80 replied to Clementine's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
my doctor has never told me no sodas, but she has discouraged it saying they have no nutritional value. I drink crystal light, tea, mystic juice, water, smoothies, and yes sometimes i'll have a drink of my DH's soda. I've actually found after being soda free for awhile that they are too sweet. -

Polling the Audience.....
Desi80 replied to princess_n_thep's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i would do it again and again. It hasn't been easy, there are days i struggle, days i wonder why i haven't lost more etc. But 50lbs in 7 months...well really i shouldn't complain. THe occasional pb etc while miserable at the moment, really isn't so bad. -
thanks!!:biggrin1:

i like the sex threads. For me sex has always been good, but after loosing 50lbs its even better! I want to talk about it , toss around some ideas or even some insecurities. OH has a sex forum, we could add one here we can have the lounge and the bedroom lol

Why didn't we know ... before surgery?
Desi80 replied to Tricia K.'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
EXACTLY. I remember one post while ago someone was going to be having surgery in like 2 weeks and wanted to know what a fill was. :faint: I'm not shocked at the person for asking, I'm shocked/HORRIFIED that their doctor hasn't told them. -
This is what i considered a "good" picture of me BEFORE WLS and this is my "omg is that really me now" picture....wow i look happy LOL
