What the H*LL is wrong with me!
Jaceesmom03 replied to wannabthin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Okay, so let me jump on this band wagon......I suck at this! I had been doing okay. Then Christmas came, and I gained 2 lbs. Since then, I haven't been able to loose ANY weight. I go to the gym at least 2 times a week, sometimes 3. But, I do not eat what I am supposed to. I get my protein in everyday, but I also eat things I shouldn't! I was doing better when I visited this site everyday, but lately I feel like I've just completely fallen off! I need your help and encouragement. I'm embarrased that I haven't lost anymore weight than 25 lbs. in 6 months! I am self pay, so I cannot fail at this...... -
skinnyjenny08 aint so skinny and 08 is almost over!!!
Jaceesmom03 replied to skinnyjenny08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Jenny... I too am a bit dissapointed in myself. I was banded on July 22nd and have not lost as much as I had hoped. I do excercise 2 times a week, sometimes 3. But I can eat anything except chicken (it seems to be too dry). I think I eat too much, but my doc is happy with my progress. I've had 2 fills, but I'd swear I need another one. It just seems like I'm eating way too much, although I'm actually eating 1/2 of what I would have pre-band! I am down from a 20 to a 16 in most clothes. But it just seems like I should have lost more weight:sad: I do feel your pain, especially since I was SELF PAY! Hope it works out better for you....I figure it will only get better from here! Good Luck!! You can do it!!!!! -
How much have you lost July Butterfllies??
Jaceesmom03 replied to lotzasunshine's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey guys....I am not very happy about my weight loss so far. I had my surgery on the 22nd of July. Now I am down from an 18/20 pants to a 16 (in most jeans). So I know that I'm losing, but its just so slow. I went to the Dr. yesterday thinking I needed a fill b/c my scales say I haven't lost any weight since the beginning of November, but when they weighed my I had lost 3.5 lbs. But.....I'm still discouraged when I see how much all of you have lost. Of course when they saw that I had lost weight they wouldn't give me a fill so I was a little dissapointed. I know I should make heathier choices....but I can go 5 hrs. before eating again. Does the pouch diet really work? Any suggestions?:thumbup: -
Okay, I am 4 months post op......how much am I supposed to be eating???? I can go 4 or 5 hours without getting hungry (so thats great!) but when I do eat....for example this a.m. I had 2 scrambled eggs, one of those round sausage patties, and a piece of toast. Should I be eating all of this? Someone please tell me what you are eating..........give me some examples:smile2: Thanks to all!~~

Has anyone flown witht he band?
Jaceesmom03 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you who are "newly" banded have flown on a plane yet? I was banded on July 22nd, and my family and I are going to Disneyworld next month, so I just wondered how it affected you on a plane? -
Thank you so much kizzie. I am a worrier, and have worried about everything since day one. LIke I said, I've had no pain or anything. Just feels weird and different. So it could just be that I'm psychotic :-) I hope so. Because I was self pay, I'm not sure what I'd do if I had to have another surgery.

Okay, so I'm kind of freaking out a little. My port is right where yours is, right below where my bra hits. Anyway, I've never had any problems whatsoever with it, but this morning I woke up and like I usually do, I felt of it (just paranoid I guess??) and it feels like it is sticking up more than normal. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it kind of freaks me out. Do you think its flipped? I just had my 2nd fill on Oct.30th and it was fine. Help??

Where is your port?
Jaceesmom03 replied to Josette's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Okay, for those of you whose ports are right under your bra line..do you know if anyone has ever had their's flip there? Or did your Dr. say that it is not common for it to flip when its placed there? The reason I'm asking is because last night when I was laying in bed, mine felt different. This morning it feels more normal,,,,,, but would I know if it flipped being right in the middle of my chest???? I'm such a worrier. -
Somehow I am subscribed to the threads. Just go to search, and type in Louisiana Bandsters, and I think if you post anything, you are automatically subscribed. I think :-) Not too familiar with this site yet, but I'm working on it .

Hi... I see that you are a scrapbooker too? I have just gotten into scrapbooking. Well, I've been doing it since my daughter was a year old, but am just learning to do the neat, and cool things. Just wondering if you would like to chat about LB and scrapbooking.

Hi Patty.. I am feeling like you about messing up and not making smart choices lately. I was just banded on July 22nd last month. I am now eating solids, and I feel like I can eat way too much. I go for a fill next week. I've lost 13 lbs. but I am now having just a little bit of pain in my stomach, not much, its almost like an ache. You don't think I've slipped my basnd do you? I know I have GOT to start making better choices, and I know that, but its hard when you don't really have much restriction. Any strategies? Have I screwed up for good? HELP :-)

I'm so MAD @ MYSELF
Jaceesmom03 replied to Long2BFree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay... stupid question.... can you stretch your band out even before you get a fill? Someone asked me, and I have no idea, I would think you could, but not sure?? And if you did, would it help then to get a fill? I am new to being banded and so is my friend... its just a little nerve racking all these questions we have:confused_smile: -
Where is your port?
Jaceesmom03 replied to Josette's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My port is right in the ceter below my bra line, in fact I have to position my bra so that it doesn't rest on the port b/c that feels kinda wierd. QUESTION.. does it hurt when you get your fills if your port is there???????? I go for my first fill on 9/4 and I'm already nervous that it will hurt. H~E~L~P:huh2:
