Has anyone lost more than 60 lbs?
erikadawn replied to Ddem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost 105 pounds it sound like your too tight. Sometimesyou find yourself eating easier food but it may be higher in calories. I lost 100 pounds in 10 months. Its possible. -
Pregnant BEFORE lap-band??
erikadawn replied to The Mon's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I really dont think so, in fact I had to give urine in pre-op to make sure I was not pregnant about an hour before surgery. -
I have the realize band, I was banded a year ago, Ilost 100 pounds in 10 months. I dont know the diference, but it worked for me.

What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!
erikadawn replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
one of my co wworkers said that locing weight with a lap-band is not the "real way" to loseweight. Shes about 200 pounds fatter than me. Maybe her fat isnt real fat. -
No Birth Control before surgery
erikadawn replied to CountryGirlNY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the nuva ring never had to stop it, wore it during surgery too. -
I would stop when I felt satisfied with it. I am down to 160 pounds and every one at work is always trying 2 feed me.

I am not 'fat' enough??!!!
erikadawn replied to 100lbsforsale's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I hate to say it But I was at 37 bmi too, and yes I did gain weight for my surgery. About 20 pounds, extra clothes and stuff works too -
I am now taking phentermine, to curb my cravings, with the band. Sure the band controls food portions, but I am a junk food junkie and was always craving sweets. It has really helped with my sweets addiction bcause I just dont want it now. Im not saying its for everybody, but even with the lap band I still was finding it hard

Eat low carb, you will lose weight so much faster. I know a person who eats smaller amounts of food, but not low carb and shes losing very slow. Low carb is difficult for some people, just modify it for yourself.

I only eat a can eat a small amount of spaghetti, it fills me up very quickly. Like 2 or 3 forkfulls. I love baked mac n cheese, so I really miss eating alot of that.
