Just be really careful... I wasn't able to get down water about two weeks ago and had to go in and have fluid removed... I would say give till tomorrow to see if anything changes and if not def make an appt bc you'll run the risk of stretching it when you switch to something more solid and that def stinks!!

Has any one used Dr. Louis Fox out of Dallas, Texas? Is so will you decribe your experience with him and his staff? Thank you!

Okay I am new to the website but have been doing a lot of research off of it the past couple of days. I went to a seminar with my mom two weeks ago at True Results in Dallas and found out a lot of information. The seminar was only supposed to be for my mom but I found out that it might help me as well. I am 5'5" and 200lbs my bmi is only around 33 I believe. Which is not bad but I am bulimic. Which if anyone knows is not the greatest thing to have when your battling your weight! I have been bulimic for 12 years now and at one point only weight 113 lbs!! My doctor told me I was going to lose my daughter if I didn't start eating and now I can't stop. My bulimia is not of course as bad as it was or I would not be contemplating the lapband. I have been told that it would help with my disorder as well as my weight. So I am here now trying to find out if anyone has had an issue with bulimia and found the lapband to be the answer?? I am setting up an appointment sometime in the next two weeks to be evaluated for the surgery to make sure that my mental state is up to par :frown: I'll be paying out of pocket and traveling out of state to have the surgery so they told me everything will go pretty fast so I wanted to research as much as I could first... I want to be there for my moms journey as well as be able to start one myself! Thanks for listening!

Very exciting! I will be one year out on May 15th! I started at 213 and fluctuate between 138 and 145... right now today its 143
I have been doing really great til about thanksgiving then I kind of fell off the workout ban wagon. Started back today and doing great. I find that if I actually work out I eat healthier just for the protein bc if not I feel weak... But if you ever have any questions or just need someone to talk to about your journey I'm here! -

Hey lady how are you doing? I haven't talked to you and checked up on you in awhile...

And with the holidays I've been eating a lot of junk to, chocolate and bread with butter! For some reason I've been CRAVING bread and gobs of butter which is completely GROSS! But my hubby says it's because my body is craving fat bc I'm not eating good enough to keep my energy level up. When I work out I eat a lot better =) But if you need any help don't hesitate to ask questions I'll help you as much as I can!

I'm sitting at 146-150... I definitely the food issues... I eat normally malt o meal, poptarts or dry cereal for bkfast. Lunch is normally rolled up lunch meat with spicy mustard and cheese. Dinner is anything really... My husband travels so if he's not home I don't cook unless I have to. It is normally something easy for my kids... I eat protein bars or yogurt bars during snack time. I'm one of those rare people that eat 6 meals a day. I eat about every two to three hours. I was working out five days a week and have really slacked off this past month with the holidays going on. Now it's hard to get motivated to get back in gear. I'm losing a lot of my muscle and my skin is starting to sag really bad... so I've been trying here lately to at least get my protein in! That's probably why I'm stuck right now!

hehe thank you!

haha thank you! I'm still not confident enough with my legs... I go to the YMCA almost 5 days a week depending on my daughters schedule... I'm starting to get alot of saggy skin in my lower stomach and arms... of course the chest too! But that is all fixable as my husband tells me I traded one addiction for another I love to run now and if I don't I fill like I'm letting myself down... I NEVER ran before and I can only run for 30mins at a time but it will progress... I also do weights because I want to minimize the skin if I can... Your doing great also! -
