Bandster Gal

This is pretty typical: Breakfast: cup of cottage cheese Lunch: Yogurt cup, cup of mixed fruit Dinner: Fish fillet (like Flounder or Tilapia) and cup of cooked veggies (like carrots) Snack: sugar-free popsicles

Hey! Welcome! I was 304.4 at my highest. Now, almost 2 months out, I am 42lbs down (lost 15lbs in preop diet). I am super happy and feel great. Staying away from the bad foods has been easier after my second fill. I just don't feel hunger as much. I also have a very routine food plan because I tend to stray and eat crap. I pack a lunch box every day to work and eat ONLY what is in that lunch box. It sounds tough, but once you get used to it, it's a breeze. Good luck to both of you!

I have lost 42lbs so far. I love it!!

It didn't hurt at all.. I was amazed. The needle looked vicious though but it really didn't hurt. If you want to see it, I videotaped it and put it up on my blog: Bandster Heaven

If you want to see the video...it's on my blog: Bandster Heaven Thanks!!

I promised people I'd post on here every time I post a new YouTube video. My second one is now up! Go to my blog called Bandster Heaven: Bandster Heaven The direct link to my youtube channel is: YouTube - bandstergal's Channel It's about my LapBand journey. I have two videos up now and some fun photos (like the inside of my belly) up on my blog. Thanks!!

Thanks!!! I am glad you like my videos! Only a few days left for you! CONGRATS!

I usually post on Obesity Help - Weight Loss Surgery, Obesity Support Groups, Obesity Forums, Surgical Procedures but I decided to stop by here. The more support the better!! I was banded May 13th and am doing great. I have lost 27lbs so far and feel pretty good. Can't wait to be a big loser!! My surgeon was awesome (his name is Tom Jones!!) . I do have a Lap Band web site -- the link is in my signature. I think that answers all the questions! Nice to meet you all!

Hello all! I am planning to move to London in a year or two and just curious to meet some fellow LapBanders. I am originally from Latvia (a Latvian citizen currently) and also lived in London 2 months this past summer and loved it! :tt2: I am a little scared :thumbup: to move -- getting a job, flat, etc., but am working on it. Cheers! Elena

I asked him if he would sing... lol.. he said I probably wouldn't want to hear him try. lol

I am glad you find it useful! Check back often!! Have a great night!

Way to go! Congrats on your banding!

Give it a few days. I am 15 or so days out and feel no pain.

Congratulations!!

Congrats!!

Any goal is a good goal. Whatever makes you feel good is great!
