hello, just wanted to drop in and tell you that you have done a wonderful job with your band. i remember when you posted your first few pics in the green shirt and then the yellow shirt. WOW look @ you now ! keep up the great job and congrads on your success, you're a true inspiraration to me. from 1 Smashin' Pumpkin 2 another.

okay lady do i need to send out a search party for you ? have not heard from you in awhile and dont even see you on my friend's list anymore ????? how the heck are you doing ?

hello Keepingfaith, i think we hold the same problem and that's the mid section! uggghhhh like you i've bought new clothes,bras and all that and it does help but i share your frustrations. the weight lost is slow or inches and the mid section is just hanging on for dear life ! but like your name that's all we can do is keep the faith. keep me posted on how your doing

thanks for the pic comment it's going , steady but it's good. trying to keep up the motivation and stay consistant with working out is my biggest problem. and sorry i didnt see your response until now but physically your weight goes up and down by a few lbs. in 1 week. but make sure you find out what works for you and ride it out !

and the crowd goes wild..lol she's officially a Bandit now ! well congrads on the start of your new journey in life. Congrad to the weight lost so far, glad to hear you are doing okay. and i did'nt have any chest pains or gas pains but they did say you can try the disolvable Gas X strips, and if that doesnt work walk , walk, walk and did i mention walking ? lol it'll get better as the days past by but until then WALK !

just stopping in to see how everthing went and how you're feeling so far ?

Thank you for the pic comment, i'm getting there slowly ...i'll make it, just without a speeding ticket ..lol !

thank you for the pic comment Mrs. Charmin a.k.a " THE SHYT" ...lol i'm getting there !

thank you for the pic comment, i'm getting there ! and you're looking fabulous yourself :thumbup:

just wanted to come through and let you know you are doing great, keep it up ! we'll get there soon

i didnt have all the pain i thoguht i would have, but went out and bought everything to be ready. mainly the incision and port site was sore and it was uncomfortable to sleep (the more pillows the better). had pains when i tried to get up or sit down but it got better as the days went by, you learned lil tricks to get by! before you leave the hospital they will give you a list and it's pretty much the same thing you was on before you went in , MORE DARN CLEAR LIQUIDS.. !!!! probably minus the optifast and protein shakes. so i picked things off that list that i liked and stuck with it. WOW A FEW DAYS HUH....

okay, that's a good idea i'll try one of those, my hips and butt have never been the problem. just this darn mid section, i do the crunches so we will see what happens thank you !

okay i gotcha and that still is not the lazy way out. plus you deserve it and have done all you can just need the rest taken care of. i'll be sure to stay tuned for the pics. the only people that have a problem with that, are the one's who can't get it done...lol because i would (later) if i can afford it myself !

okay i got you in my sights now...lol well welcome to lapbandtalk

Qustion for you also Mrs. Diva, what is good to do to work the mid section ?

i have a question for you Mrs. Charmin...what is good to do to work the mid section ?

i'm doing okay, i'm kinda disappointed with myself right now and really feel the need to step it up a notch starting today. yeah i'm still losing and yeah i'm in a size 16 but it's moving too slow and i'm coming up with too many excuses for myself. i think i've gotten relaxed because i've been losing no matter what i ate or if i worked out or not. my 1year Band- a- versary will be here in about 3 mons. and i'm starting to get depressed because i'm not where i wanted to be by now....

hello there, well due to a mix up between my insurance on the job and the Dr. office i ended up with 2weeks out of work ( with pay) instead of a week.. they read .. /2 as being 12 . so i believe it's usually a week, and that's all i really needed but i wasnt going to argue about going back early! i didnt have any real gas pains and didnt require any pain meds, although i bought everything under the sun trying to get prepared for something that never came...lol i was blessed and everything went along smoothly. it is ruff the 1st few days as far as sleeping and moving around but as the days go on you do feel alot better. by the 3rd day i think i was still a little sore in the stomach but could move about okay. i had a tugging feeling in my stomach (when i turned over) for about a month n a half after, from where they attach the port . hope that answered your questions, let me know if you have any others i will try my best to answer them !

Mrs. Charmin

i am going to keep you in mind the next time i think about skipping a work out, i'm down 45lbs and is still moving steady but i need and want about 50 or 60 more to come off also. i know everybody is not the same and will lose at a different pace but you got it, grabbed it by the horns and rode that ride !!!
