if you havent logged for the past several days youll need to log extra days now. Insurance won't accept it unless it's actually 6 months. I know it's stupid but insurance is dumb lol. I go see Lindsey again for my 7th weigh in on Friday. Thursday is my 23rd birthday. :biggrin: My last weigh in I lost 9.5 lbs! I hope I do well this time too. Good luck with your 6 months it goes by so quick! I can't believe I am in month 4 already.

Awesome Bella, I'm bordering Ohio in Wood county. Close to Parkersburg.

Not all younger people do not follow the doctor's rules though. I am turning 23 this week and I get banded in November and I intend to follow every rule the doctor has. He wants me on 1 week clear 2 weeks full 2 weeks pureed then soft solids into more regular solid foods. This is a life changing event I am not going to screw it up because I am hungry while I am STILL healing. I have learned a ton from the oldies on here who have been banded for long periods of time and I love them dearly. Many I talk to daily...and they believe I am going to have great success with the band with the attitude I have. And I think so too. I have already changed my eating patterns now and this is why I have lost 20.5 lbs in 3 months not even being banded yet. I want to be healthier and smaller for when I do have my surgery and more likely have a smaller healthier liver. I have 3 more months of this diet and I hope to lose at least another 20 lbs. I cannot wait to be banded and lose this weight. To all of you eating foods that require your stomach to churn to digest I sure hope you don't have problems with your band in the long run. It doesn't always show up early in banding...it shows up long after too. I'd be praying. Good luck to all. Coltonwade I think your advice is spectacular. Keep it up. :teeth_smile:

I have a looooooot more to lose than you and my insurance said they would approve as long as I did a 6 month diet first....very odd. Anyway good luck.

My doc won't do the surgery unless you quit smoking several months before surgery. I dunno of any who will...I guess unless you lie but I figure the doc could tell.

CONGRATTTTTS. If you gain a little during pregnancy so what. You'll have another little babyyyyyy plus the band to help you lose after. Congrats again yay!!!

Today 1 mile brisk walk with resistance bands on arms. Stretching after for cooldown

Before and after eating? If you just had surgery Tuesday why are you eating food you should still be on liquids. But hey what do I know. LOL

congrats on being banded. you can get a weightloss ticker at Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy...

That's good. Just don't want you getting sick etc. Be careful and good luck.

The kids are adorable. :wink2: It's gonna suck when they get older lol

I'd be careful...doesn't sound too healthy.

Even if she didn't make it...that had to be an awesome experience for both of you. Maybe we will see you guys on TV!!

I am sooooooo in :wink2: Yesterday - 1 mile brisk walk

John and Kate plus 8 is a good show...BUT they show it wayyyyyyyyyyy too much. lol

I know about 5 people who had GB who gained the weight back...or ended up having a leak in their intestines and having stuff leak out into their bodies. They may lose a lot faster but they have a greater chance of gaining it back and most seem to. Eventually it's like they never even had surgery and they are back to their old ways too. I chose lapband and I am sooo excited to have my surgery in November. It can't come soon enough!!

My insurance told me one year at first...it didn't sound right so I called them. Turns out it was a mistake and I only had to do 6 months. I am in month 4 now.

Becauseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I need to keep losing to be healthier for when my lapband surgery comes around in November. And because I want to lose another 9.5 lbs like i did last weigh in...in only 2 weeks!
