You are doing great! I never worry about how much I've lost, as long as I'm losing! It's all good! I'll be thinking about you on the 10th! Morning or afternoon time? Mine was 7:30 a.m....I was so happy not to have to think about it all day. I was home and watching TV and drinking room temperature water and G2 by noon!

Hi Diva,
Â
Just thought I'd let u know I started my pre-op diet today (2 weeks). My consult with dr is only on 9/3 but they are allowing me to start the diet early so i can get banded sooner as my hubby will be away first 10 days of october and i wanna be sure there are no complications before he leaves.
Wells that's my update. Let me know how you're doing... -
Happy 6 Mos Bandiversary, June-Bugs!
TX Diva replied to Great2BThin's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My bandiversary was December 17th, the day before my birthday! I'm now 70 pounds lighter, several dress sizes smaller, and most importantly.....way healthier! I've learned: the difference between being done and being full. life without soft drinks is possible. healthier equals happier; and happier means healthier! I can still ride a bike. eating is a necessity; not a reward or thing to do when bored. tucking in looks good. G2 tastes yummy. 30 minutes is not too long to be on the recumbent bike. -
I was at costco with my sister and mother and saw a Wii game called Outdoor Challenge. It has a mat that is probably similar to DDR. It has some really fun activities like Whack a Mole and jump roping that get me moving. I haven't tried the one where you sit on the mat and tilt to the left and right, but hubby said even that one seems to work some muscles. With that, the Wii Fit and my recumbent bike, I have no excuses to not workout during the Fall and Winter months. I've seen an ad for the Jillian program, but didn't know it was out yet. Thanks for adding a link. Those reviews were just awful! I love Amazon's customer reviews. I think I've been saved from bad purchases by going there first many times!

Two NSVs (but they are related) Hubby and I went to Six Flags Over Texas on the 19th. Every ride I wanted to ride, I could! The belts fastened and the butt fit in the seat! After the Tony Hawk ride they have a booth where you can purchase a CD or DVD of your whole ride. We chose not to purchase, but I noticed that "the girls" were a bit bouncy on the screen so I knew it was time to by new bras again. I wore a 52DDD in June, and today I bought a 46DD! I was stunned standing there in the fitting room wearing a size that I haven't seen in years!

So who went and how was it? -
Way to go! You rock! You will have to let us know how the parents react! Wow! I can't believe you've kept it a secret from them! I, so, couldn't do that to my mom.

I haven't had any PBs yet, thank goodness. I've been stuck a couple of times though, and I have a mental list of those foods to avoid. I've had pizza a couple of times...always thing crust and always crispy. No problems there, but I can only eat one or two slices where before I could finish off 1/2 to a whole pizza. I really haven't had the desire to have bread products. I had someone tell me that she keeps a box of sandwich bags in her car for PB episodes. I personally think that sounds yucky, but if I ever have a PB I might change my mind. I think the napkins sound better, but I'm passing on the other advice in case someone else likes the idea.

Anyone else close to being under 300lbs????
TX Diva replied to Tess415's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello all. I haven't been on this site in awhile and I was excited to read about all the progress made! I am 3 months post op and I just had my first fill on the 17th. I weighed 287! I have been in the 300's for so long that it's difficult to comprehend that it's all behind me. At 295 it wasn't a reality to me because we all know how easily 5 pounds can be added. Now it's a reality. For all of you that are close...good luck...you can do it! Anyone who has not been there cannot know the joy we feel seeing a 2 in the hundreds place. -
Sept. 17th was my 3 month bandiversary and also the date of my first fill. I now have 1.5ccs in my band. I've lost 63 overall on this journey and 38 since my surgery. I was losing 1-2 pounds per week before my fill,so I expect my weightloss to stay on track. I have more energy at work, exercise almost daily, love my Protein shakes for Breakfast, eat way less than I used to, and spend less time plopped in front of the TV and computer. It's nice. I have set little mini goals for myself and have hit every one of them! My next goal is to lose another pant size by October 19th. My husband's company is having a party at Six Flags Over Texas and I want to ride a roller coaster that my butt barely fit in two years ago!
