i totally agree! when i was drinking my protein shakes, I was NOT LOSING at all. Instead, i take a multivitamin daily and save my calories for real food! Good luck to all! Hope to see "less of you" soon! -
I see you are recently banded. Hope it is working out good for you! Keep us informed!

Hey! So sorry you are having such problems! PB is "productive burp"... I have it quite often. I hope all goes well with your check. I am ready for my third fill, but I have such a full schedule this month that I am going to have to wait a while. I still have restriction, but I have slowed down in my weight loss.. I was losing 1 to 1-1/2 pound a week, but the scale didn't move for 3 weeks.. and then only 1 pound.. but hang in there! Don't give up yet! We'll get there together! God Bless!

Wow! that can't even be the same person! Congrats! You look great! -
Well, you look great! I have been at a standstill for about 3 weeks now; the scale finally started moving again this a.m.! lol! I hope I can do as well as you have!
-
Wow! That can't be the same person! Congrats! How long did it take you go lose all of your weight? Did you go "below" your goal! lol!

You are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work and be careful down there in Jamaica! -
Wow! what a difference already! Keep up the good work! -
Lol! my hubby has lost weight too! I quit cooking all those goodies, and he dropped too! lol! Keep up the good work!

Bless your heart! I too have yo-yo'd for years. And I have a man who loves me at ANY SIZE, makes it easy to "endulge" and not think about the consequences... Gotta tell you though.. He's paying more attention now! LOL! You're a pretty lady.. Hope the band is working well for you!

Bless your heart! Hang in there.. I don't see how you can think you are failing when you are 49 pounds lighter than you were this time last year! I have only lost 56, and am getting a little anxious about getting the rest off myself. Just hang in there.. we'll get there together! -
i read your post on "Things I won't miss"... I understand you recently had the surgery..... Hope that went well! Hang in there, it gets better! God Bless!

you're a beautiful lady already! I hope these are not your "before" pics because there is no way you need a band! good luck and God Bless!

If you have any joint problems (knee problems, osteoarthritis, etc.) that have been documented, those will help. My BMI was over 40 for YEARS and I have only one comorbidit (knee surgery) and none of the docs in my state (Tennessee) would approve the surgery; so, I finally became a self pay and went to Mexico for mine... Best decision I ever made for myself! Good luck!

FUNNY THINGS KIDS SAY: It's about time for my 3rd fill, and I am able to eat more and eat things I normally haven't been able to eat. My 10-year-old granddaughter looks over at my plate (with a half-eaten biscuit and gravy) and said, "Mammaw you're eating bread!".. I politely pointed out that I wouldn't be able to do that this time next week because I was getting another fill.. At that point (in the middle of the restaurant) she jumped up in the booth and yells, "Don't do it, don't do it, Mammaw! You love to eat!" Mammaw just "slithered" down UNDER THE BOOTH! lol! Kids!

Hey! I too live in East Tennessee (just East of Pigeon Forge). You have done great! I am 7 months postop and still have a ways to go.. I am a Medical Transcriptionist/QA... Blessed Beyond Measure! Keep in touch and God Bless!

Trying not to be bitter with post op complications.

Oh, I see! Sorry for that! Only time i have abdominal pain is when I get constipated, and that doesn't happen if i remember to buy my "Activia" when i am at the grocery store.. That stuff is GOOD and it WORKS! You are losing at about the same rate I am, and this time next year, we can LAUGH ABOUT IT! Hang in there! -

Just ran across this... So sorry things are nto working out for you, but I see that you have lost some weight. Just curious, was that from Preop? or is the band just working slower than you thought? I had hoped to lose faster myself, but i have to realize it took YEARS to get to this point and it is going to take a little while to reverse it. Good luck in wherever your journey leads you! I myself am satisfied that this was the best choice for me and I am hopeful it will continue to work to get me to goal and beyond! God Bless!
