Ladyroz 150 lbs te name='Rockin' Robyn' timestamp='1142321062' post='181992'] Hi Everyone- It has been on my mind lately to start a new post as a positive, motivational, and inspiring thread. I have noticed several threads lately where those considering surgery are asking if it is 'possible' to lose 100 pounds with the band. My answer to that is...Yes, it definitely is. Many say it is not realistic. But I have watched the amazing progress of LBT members on the board, and believe it is not only realistic, it is happening to many of our LBT members all around us. And for those that aren't quite there yet, many members are extremely close. As time goes by with lapband increasing in popularity and the number of LBT members growing everyday, I believe the list is only going to increase by leaps and bounds. Any and all weight loss is a huge accomplishment for us all. While I realize that many members don't need to lose 100 pounds or more, many do. And for those who do, it offers not only motivation to see that other bandsters have done it...but most importantly it offers the hope that it can be done with the band! This will be a running thread to offer positive motivation, inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Please PM me or post here to have your name added to the growing list when you hit 100 pounds lost, or if you want your amount lost updated. Congratulations to everyone on any and all weight loss!

Hi K and all banders I'm so glad it is spring time two years ago I would have tried to hide away now I can't wait to go out side I think I look good and I feel good in my clothes besides that come from a size 30 to a 14-16 is not bad if I must say so myself lol. K glad you are feeling better the spring has a way of doing that to people. I would like for the banders' of Columbus or anyone who wants to come to walk in the MS walk on April 17, 2010 at 7:30am it will be at the Columbus Zoo It is a 1.5 mile walk through the Zoo cost is 25.00 for any one over 10 years old and 10.00 for 10 and under My oldest daughter has MS and finally she is going to be able to get the band she will be band hopefully before the walk Dr.Choban is going to do her band. She goes in Monday to see the Dr. and get her band date pray for her she needs the band to help her deal with MS if she gets the weight off. Hope the Columbus bander can come a walk Thanks for all your help K when I was down:thumbup:

I'm so stuck I have never been stuck before my weight will not move for a month I'm still at the same weight I don't know what to do I never been here before. How do I jump start my weight loss. I have heart burn all the time and the last time I told the doctor she unfilled me to much and I gained 12lbs I still trying to loose those pounds I want to loose 25lbs I will be at goal but it seem to be the hardest 25lbs to loose. the heartburn is bad my doctor removed .5cc out in Jan. it was ok for a little while and now it is back. I scared I'm going to gain more weight and fear makes me eat I eat the wrong things when I'm stressed. I'm upset with myself right now I have gained 2lbs this month it could be water but I have been eating the wrong things like ice cream it helps the heartburn or the girl scort cookies thin mints only one box I'm trying to get over letting myself down. Please pray for me that I stay on tract. Thanks for listening:cursing:

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. No matter what may come you don't give up the more you stress over this the worse it is going to get. So stop and tell your self you are going to make it. I know it is cold but maybe if you go for a walk when you are feeling so stressed out or go to the gym if you can do something to let out the stress. write down your feels. Pray that God will make you stronger. I will be praying for you also I know want you are going through so you are not alone. I you feel like screaming go ahead and scream you can write in upper case here and I'll know you are screaming. what ever you have gained back it can't compare to how much you have lost. I think I would only let my doctor mess with my band if I was you.

Sula The same for you too hang in there things will get better. Roz:thumbup:

Confused hang in there you can make it to the end. we all have our good and our bad days you will come through this point and one day you will look back and smile:smile2: at how far you have come. One day at a time it took years for us to gain this weight and we are doing great getting it off now, we got the most of the weight off now to fine tone our bodies don't sweat the small stuff. I have lost 150lbs so far and now I go up 2lbs down 4lbs than up 2lbs I can deal with that a long as I don't go up 10lbs than I will have to go back to were I start and drink protein shakes go back to basic lapband 101 what ever it takes to jump start you back to loosing weight. Look at what you are eating write it down and keep it on the table so you can see it good luck and God Bless Chin up you are doing great. Roz:thumbup:

Yes I went to far with the ice cream I gained 2lbs that week in MI I trying to get it off but now I have candy want to eat the whole box and get it over with lol I don't want candy in my house. Candy is why I gain weight in the first place. I love candy I'm trying to stop eating it. I still hide candy around the house for me on my stress days that is not good I want to stop with the candy find some thing else to do when I'm stressed I have started school and some times that is stress. It this point I don't know what to do to stop eating sweets. The bad part about it is I will not eat food so I can eat sweets. Ok I got the out the only ones I can tell the truth to is you guys because you understand what is happening to me. So K lets stay in these fight together we will reach our goals. these are just little set backs and we can get over them hang in there the weight will come off.:smile: Name -Starting Wt .......Goal/End Wt 2010 .CurrentWeight- SpecialK.............232.2.........155...................229.7 Scrappy_friend....149............135...................145 LadyRoz.............220............190...................212

Hi K I'm happy for your lost I'm not sure if I lost anything this week I have been in MI all this week my grandson was very sick I came to help however I got stressed and started eating ice cream a pint every two days or so I really feel bad about it I'm not going to weight my self until I get home on Sunday night I'm a little scared of gaining weight but I have not eaten right the whole week. How much do PS cost if you don't mine me asking I need a boob job they are on the floor lol so are my arms are you having it done in columbus? I will get back to you on the MS walk it will be at the zoo I will get the date.

Sorry I haven't been on I started school and my brain has been shut down for 20 years I'm waking up slowly but it is coming together:eek: K I'm happy for your weight lost. I went to see dr. choban on thurs. she have to unfill me some to much heartburn it is better now she took out 1/2cc I wanted a 1/4cc she said no I'm ok I lost 9lbs all togather I think I posted when I lost the 4lbs before going to the doctor so its 9lbs all togather. I think I'm going to change my goal to 180 I think I'm scare of making it I'm so close I don't want to mess up now. school is hard I don't want to eat because of stress I don't want to fail at school I'm still in the race so far have good grades but it is hard to keep up and not stress eat. On a lighter note can you ask the banders from Cols. if they would like to walk in the MS walk at the zoo to support my daughter it is in april thanks will be back on my next break in class work:thumbup: Name -Starting Wt .......Goal/End Wt 2010 .CurrentWeight- SpecialK.............232.2.........155...................229.4 Scrappy_friend....149............135...................145 LadyRoz.............220............190...................210

K we all have our days up and down so hang in there. I'm dealing with heartburn it is getting bad I'm drinking mylanta by the bottle I will have to get an unfill when I see the doctor this month. I have one more week to my appt. I still can eat small amounts my problem is ice cream feel the best going down with the hearthburn so bad and that is not good when this happened before I lost 11lbs but all I could eat was ice cream and the doctor said that is was bad weight lost:thumbdown: but this time I understand what is going on so I willn't let her take out to much this time get a little out to stop the heartburn about 1/2cc or .25cc that way I'll still be tight with no heartburn. As time goes by we learn how to manipulate the band. I'm hoping to get to where I don't have to go back to the doctor for some time. Well thanks for listening to me go on and on. Good Luck to all I will go and try your link it may work for me too.:w00t:

Hi all This is my right weight I wish I was 149 that is to small for me I was that size when I was 16. As your body gets older being that small for me I would look like a bag of bones lol I'm 5'9" a little tall. I have been able to wear a pair of baby phat jeans and that was a big deal for me because I'm tall I had to wear men jeans and now I can wear woman jean in and size 16 HEY for me I haven't been in a 16 since I was 16 lol. It has been a good week started school this week I have been out of school for 20 years see what weight lost and new knees can do for you lol. I lost 4lbs this week that is the most in a month. I have a appt. with dr. choban this month I will need her to unfill me a little to much heartburn that is when I know I'm to tight. How to I get the weight line to stay on my page? I came up with a new pizza try it. one flat wheat tortillas 130 cals, 2tbs of spaghetti sauce 45 cals hand full of flat leaf spinach 30 cals (black olives if you like them about 4 cut up) 3tbs of low fat mozzarella and provolone cheese 90 cals bake at 350 until the cheese melts in all it is about 295 cals it is a good lunch you can also add other thing you like on your pizza in small amounts that is the key SMALL AMOUNTS. K great job on your weight lost this week you have been through a lot things are going to get better you will see. you have come through the fire and didn't get burned. you are still on the loosing side lol:laugh:( weight that is) LadyRoz.............220............190...................216 __________________

Hi all I'm with K the band is the best thing I have ever done for me. As life goes on we forget about ourselves and take care of other and now we must take care of me if not the band will let you know when you stop taking care of self. I love my band I'm down 150lbs with 25 more to goal I'm one day away from 2 years banded. I have never stuck to anything that long for me. I have replaced my knees, I'm on no meds I feel great my tommy is getting so flat I may need a smaller port I talked to my doc about it she said to wait it may go deeper as I loose more weight. K you where banded right after me and you are doing so well most of us who where banded around that time are doing good. I haven't been able to come to the meetings in Columbus becaue I going to church on sat. But I love to read about your meetings. Good luck to all on your road to good health my prays are with you. LadyRoz:thumbup:

Happy New Year All we have been banded 2 years now how is everyone doing out there fine I hope. The holidays was harder this year than last so many stresses. Trying to learn how to cope with out food or money. Food was my stress calmer and than shopping replaced food now I have no money to spend I have to deal with my problems head on and it was not easy. But I came through with out gaining weight and that is a change for me this band is the best thing that I have ever done for me. I have lost 150lbs so far had an unfill in sept. gain for the first time gained 14lbs got a fill in Oct. lost no weight but didn't gain any had other fill Dec. have lost 10 of the 14lbs gained I'm 20lbs from goal and I'm scared I wouldn't make it I'm in the gym 3 times a week and work out at home with the wii.

Happy New Year everyone we are so Blessed we have been on this road for almost 2-3 years and are still loosing weight and getting healthy. I was banded and it was the best thing that I have ever done for myself. The band is a personal thing and it makes me feel like I have taken control of my life. When you take control of your life you become stronger mine, body and soul. I have never loved myself the way I do now I'm proud of me and that has never happened before for me. :wub:So I said to my Lapband Brothers and Sisters feel the love for your self and enjoy life don't sweat the small things about this band it is a tool that will keep on working until you said no more and we have come to far to say that. God Bless all of you and yours in 2010 and my you always be true to your self:tt1:. Rosalind Beswick--Band 1/7/08 lost 150 25lbs to go for goal down from size 30 to size 16 size 12-14 is goal:thumbup:

Hi All It has been a long time since I have been here. I have lost a lot of weight and now I'm trying to keep it off. my band was to tight my doc took out 2cc and I started to eat like I didn't have a band gained 10lbs in one month trying to get back on track. When the band was to tight I couldn't eat hard foods and eat a lot of soft or ice cream and this went on for 5 months before I told the doc because I didn't want to be unfilled I lost 40lbs doing this it was not good weight lost and now for the first time since getting the band I have weight gain I'm trying not to think about it just get back on track but it is hard to stop eating the way I was when I was tight. The doc will only put back a little at a time so now I can eat and not feel full. I should have good eating habits after 2 years but I don't I now must write down what I eat and no more sweets. Thanks for listening I'm still down 150lbs and I want to keep it off. I was banded 01/07/08

hey kid My daughter is going to have the banding maybe in Dec they told her they still had openings she goes in Weds night for her class for post op. Hope the both of you get a date before the new year that would be a great start for the new year. I still need a walking partner I'm not far from the hospital:thumbup: Good Luck let us know when you get your date.
