Thanks everyone, I agree that keeping the junk food out of the house would sure help. The problem with that is my Dh will eat nothing but meat, bread, potatoes and sweets. His health shows it to. He is 330lbs and has high blood pressure. One of my secret reasons for have the band surgery, was I thought if I showed him I could loose the weight with the band he would decided to have it done. That has not worked. I do not buy junk food. I've ask him not to buy it. That didn't work, so I told him If you must buy the junk you could at least hide it out of my sight. I don't think he's trying to sabotages my weight loss, he is just use to eating what and when ever he wants.

Tijuane vs. Monterrey, Help!
nickie456 replied to cherylgrzeb's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I went to Monterrey Mexico. Dr. Rumbaut did my surgery. I have been very pleased so far. -
It sounds like he knew how you and your DH felt about Pot. You were nice enought to give him and his family a place to stay. He should have respected your rules for your house. He did not, so he should not be in your house. But on the other hand, How many here can say they have never tryed pot. Even President Clinton smoked pot, he just didn't inhale lol. My point is, it's your house your rules, he should have respected you and your family.

I live in Alabama and also went to Mexico to have surgery. I didn't want to have to fly back to Mexico for fills. I am going Dr. Horgan in Chicago. I fly from Atlanta to Chicago. I catch a early flight have my fills at 1:00pm and fly back that afternoon. The fill cost me $200.00, the taxi cost me $40.00, and the round trip flight usually around $180.00.

banded 8-8-05 where- Monterrey Mexico Doctor- Dr. Rumbaut no problems

I joined the gym 11/22/05. I've done everything the trainer told me to do. I go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week. I do 30 min. of card. and 30 min. of weight training. On the days I don't go the gym I still do 30 min. on the treadmill at home. Well today I met with the trainer to get re-assets. Pulse and blood pressure was good. I had lost 9 lbs. 4 inches in my waist. 3 inches in the hips. I was very happy with the results. I thought I had done a good job. Then she told me to stand on the scales that measures your body fat. I could not believe it. My body fat had went from 33.0 to 33.7. I just do not understand how you can work out as much as I have been doing, lose 9lbs, 7inches and then gain body fat. The trainer said she did not understand it. Can someone please expain this to me.

Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY
nickie456 replied to DeLarla's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I posted these pictures on Jan. 18, but there not on LBT anymore, hope this works. Taken the day before surgery, in Monterrey Mexico 51lbs gone August 8, 2005 Monterrey Mexico 51lbs gone, can you tell my daughter took this picture when I wasn't expecting it. -
Alex, that is so great. I had surgery because I wanted to be able to play with my first grandchild, So I know how you feel.
-
I don't know what to tell you. Because I have the exact problem. I have no dout that I would already be at my goal weight if it wasn't for eating at night. During the day I have no problem eating the right things and small amounts. For the last two months I have exercised everyday. When 9:00pm. comes along its like my stomach just starts having a fit. I tell myself everyday that I am going to stop eating at night, but it never works. If you find the anwsere please let me know.

I'm 5'4 and my doctor wants me to get down to 120lbs, I will be happy at 129.9lbs. I have 18.1lbs to go. I'm starting to think that I may never get there. I workout 1hr. at the gym every other day, the days that I don't go to the gym I workout 30 min. on the treadmill at home. I'm loosing inches but the scale just will not move. If I never loose another lbs. the band has been the best thing I could have every done for myself.
