    I wish you could change the title of this thread.

    A good breakfast! Too good?

    Mimilou2004 replied to TracyNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Sounds yummy!!!! As you get restriction you will be eating half or less that that. Something to look forward to!!! Mimi

    Can't lose the weight! Help!

    Mimilou2004 replied to Jamie!'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Tarajim is very blunt in her posting, but she is right on the money. I believe you are eating MORE and exercising less than you think you are. Weighing or measuring all your food and include your beverages in your count. Take your pulse during exercise to make sure you are getting your heart rate up. You asked for advice and help, well here it is. Best wishes, Mimi

    Good plan, Feather. I am glad you have restriction, though. Mimi

    Skinnyjeans turn for a flat tummy

    Mimilou2004 replied to skinnyjeans's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    SJ, sorry you are having a little relapse....hopefully it is your cold's last hurrah before giving up and letting you get better. Your swelling is definitely better and your incision line is healing so well. No stitches on the outside? I think you are doing well and gotta love Mom for caring, LOL!!!! The bottom half fits perfectly!!! Mimi

    7/7 Bandster hear - Leak in band!

    Mimilou2004 replied to bobbiezhere's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Bobbie, I am so sorry this happened, it is very sad. I hope the leak is in the port itself, that is the easiest repair to make, I think. Best wishes, Mimi

    Thank you so much for your guidance. I am having a breast lift in 3 weeks and will go to Dillards when I am healed and get fitted. My neice was picking on me over T'giving because of the girls being so low and pointing south.....with a comfortable bra on!!!! Mimi

    Marmar, you are probably experiencing restriction and good for you!!! Mimi

    Allie, your happiness shines through and I am delighted for you!!!!! Loved the bikini shot, your doc did a great job, and you did your part during the healing stages. Best wishes, Mimi

    Question about Quantity

    Mimilou2004 replied to Celestial's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    There could be several reasons for your slowdown....it could just be that your body needs to adjust to that huge wt loss you have accomplished. The closer you get to goal the less calories you need, so you need to count calories too besides measuring. If you want to eat a cup of food, by all means use different measuring cups...I personally don't like mixing my food either. Good luck, Mimi

    Skinnyjeans turn for a flat tummy

    Mimilou2004 replied to skinnyjeans's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    SJ I am glad you are feeling better, I have missed you posting. It will be great to see some new pictures. I am excited for you to get the tape off the girls!!! I am happy for you to be getting a fill Wednesday. Mimi

    Elfie, I agree with you and wish you had written your post a year ago. My surgeon has a God complex and a 6 week rule. Had I been more ballsy I would have fired him a long time ago. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars and 14 months later I finally got restriction.....ridiculous. Mimi

    Does the Trista come without underwire? Mimi

    It's Allie's turn for plastics!

    Mimilou2004 replied to allielee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    Allie, you are incredible and hubby aint so shabby, either, LOL. You look great and the way that bikini fits is wowser!!!!! Good luck with the thigh lift, which you look excellent without it!!!! Mimi

    Are you self pay? If you are like me, you know how to gain and know how to lose, but maintenance is a new world. When you get to your target wt you may keep your fill and eat more calories or get a little unfill to eat more calories. I will add that short ppl like us need very few calories before we start gaining, so it wwill be trial and error. Best wishes. Mimi

    Now that you are losing Weight...

    Mimilou2004 replied to Patterba's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I had lost track of this thread, I hope it stays active!!! Patterba, what did Mom say about your manicure? Mimi
  21. Mimilou2004
    Elfie, I agree, it sounds very strange, as it is a closed system on the outside of the stomach!!!! Mimi
  22. Mimilou2004
    Go to the bathroom and let it come up. Being stuck can stretch the pouch and nature is trying to tell you it needs to come up. If this doesn't pass in a couple of days or it gets worse you need to call for a little unfill. I speak from recent experience. Good luck. Mimi

    Advice with giving up soda?

    Mimilou2004 replied to Liftingchic's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Well, LC, the good news is you have time to wean yourself off. I did pick a date 2 weeks in the future when my prebought soda would run out and that was my quit day. I drink coffee, too, so I increased my coffee intake temporarily to cover the headaches from withdrawal. Good luck. Mimi

    It's Allie's turn for plastics!

    Mimilou2004 replied to allielee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    You guys are hysterically funny......once I figured out what you were talking about I thought I was going to choke laughing so hard!!! Allie, good to know about those bras, I saw them there yesterday and was wondering if they were supportive enough? Mimi
