RAINWI

Three weeks post op today. Feeling great. Hadn through the whole process. Down 16.5 lbs as of this morning. I have moved on to soft foods.

I am having my band removed and revised to the sleeve next Monday the 3rd.. Excited and hopeful that this will work this time

Hi Judy, Im good. Im in the process of getting my band out too. So Im happy this showed up in my inbox too. Just waiting to get a surgery date and finish up the loose ends.

Hey Brubear, Hows that baby of yours thats not quite a baby anymore lol!! I am struggling to get the last 30lbs off from having my son and he will be 2 in July. Thats my goal. How about you?

You "old Timers" are all coming out of the wood work. I guess I'll come out too!!! Still have the band but I'm not to impressed. I still struggle every darn day!!

This should not be a problem. The port is hardly noticable and it doesnt stick out or anything. You have to press your belly to feel it. Good Luck

Linda, just google low glycemic eating plan. Im doing the plan for Lifestyles transitions but its just based on Low glycemic eating. I can tell you that I was a SERIOUS candy eater. Like a 1lb a week of gummys and I dont even crave them anymore. I used to eat a gallon and 1/2 of icecream a week but not anymore. It feels like a plan that you could live with. Lots of veggies some fruit and Protein. Pretty much anything in its natural form not packaged. Of course I still eat a cookie here and there but Im not like attacking people for a donut like I used to. I have been losing 2 lbs a week and lost 5 on the 3 day detox. This week on wednesday the 27th I get my offical body fat loss and can let you know if you are interested in the figures.

Hi Girls, I just wanted to say hi and to tell you all that Im on this low glycemic eating plan with no flour, sugar, artificial sweetners and Im doing really good. I have lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks and I have gotten rid of most of my cravings. Yes, it was tough at first and I did a 3 day detox where I only ate veggies and fruit but it seems to be working. Im back in my smallest size pants and Im actually looking forward to weigh myself these days!

Cynthia, Glad to hear you doing great. Im jealous :wink3:. This band is so fickle and hard to manage. I cant seem to drop any weight!

How are you girls doing with the sleeve??? IS it worth it, any great success?

So did we make it through Christmas and The New Year??? I put on a few but am trying really hard to get it off again.

I cant believe I missed all this chatter. Im thinking about the sleeve too. Will he just let me switch or what?

Any word on Vicki?
