Hey all,i just wanted to say i am down 45 pounds ! it is slow but boy i sure am happier.I actually feel alive! I had surgery december 16 2009.I hope i only keep going down.This is the best thing i have ever done in my life! I used to wake up every morning with "im going to do good today on my diet" I dont feel that any more Their is a peace about this whole thing! i have never been happier with this "tool" ive been given! Lisa Lap 63:biggrin:

cordova chick,hey,i just went to the doc,and i had lost 4 pounds in 4 months ! He gave me a small fill.i am working out 3 days a week for an hour on the eliptical! i have lost a total of 37 pounds and it will be a year in December! what the hell is wrong with me? my weight loss stinks.i know its better than gaining ,but my body just doesnt want to give it up! i really want all of this to work ,but i guess i have to work harder at it.any sugg,would help Lisa lap 63

the foods that get stuck for me are steak and other meats like that.i havent thown up in a while ,but Sunday i ate a few bites of steak and thought i chewed it well and bingo ,into the bathroom i had to go,funny,then i sit down and eat again like somebulimic

i have only lost 33 pounds since December 08.Is that normal? I guess ever one is different.i also had a complete knee replacement 2 weeks ago.i am not moving around that much,and when u r not moving around ,i tend to eat more.i guess it never ends,any suggestions? lisa lap63

My port feels funny to the touch,and when i lay on my belly it bothers me sometimes.i am so glad u r going to the water park Billy oh! Please just be careful going dowm some of those slides,your trunks might just slip off1 I hope u have a great time lisa lap 63

hey,i feel my port too! i have lost 33 pounds since December.Yes that is slow but it sure is better than the alternative! i love my lap band,it is very liberating! I used to wake up every day thinking okay,,,today im going to stick to a diet.and now when i get up my lap band tells me when to stop.I love it!lisalap63

hey every one! i had surgery onDec 16 and have only lost 18 pounds i am frustrated too! i also have a sweet tooth i never had before.For instance,i hate ice cream,i ate it about once a year and now i think about it all the time?i dont understand either? My head is it all in my head>??????? Lisalap 63

Cordovachick,I too can eat way more than a little bit.I had my surgery a day before you and have only lost 18.You are doing great! i hope when i go in two weeks i will get another fill too1 It excites me to get a fill.As SICK as that may sound.i want to eat a little bit and be way too stuffed I would like that.This lap band is a dream come true though.I have never felt this feeling of ..i guess you could call it peace.Lisa lap 63

Hey all well its been over 3 months and i have lost 18 pounds and i still have75 to go! Its a long treck,but one pound at a time.I LOVE this lap band ! I feel this is the answer to my prayers.I have never done this before! Lisa lap 63 PS how do you start a new thread? can any one help? i am not too good on this.

Muddbug22,Thank you for the encouragement! i have learned that i still eat way to fast.I have to stop that.I also know that this lap band was the best thing i have ever done for myself.I feel more confident and happy,knowing i am getting help for something i have never in my life had control over Lisa lap63

your doctor thinks you are doing wonderful without a fill! I know you are.Some people dont need one .Just the band being on is enough.LIke me i have had 2 fills and need another i have only lost 16 lbs since Dec 16 08 ! that is not alot Lisa Lap 63

Beth,thanks for all the helpful hints Lisa Lap 63

Beth,thank you for your reply.i am going to call and push the issue,why not? I hate all this waiting in between.i am not the kind that sits back either ,but i thought that was just how it was.I think i am going to start putting my meat in a chopper,too mant accidents happen with me,swallowing too much i

Cordovachick,i am eating healthy foods too,but i get hungry alot.I dont think my band is tight enough.I have been a wwatcher member about 15 times.my appetite always wins,thats why i chose this route.So you eat 3 healthy meals a day and snack in between?How much can you eat at one time? do you have to force yourself to quit eating ? Or do you get full fast.Would you say you can eat up to 1 cup of food? just curious Lisa Lap 63

Beth,I have had 2 fills which are total of 5cc now my doc says see you in 6 weeks! Im like you in that i dont have the time to wait,i think i will call and ask.I must lose because my knee is shot and i am in pain.I need a new one but my knee doc said to lose the weight first.Its kind of difficult when after i work only 3 hours a day i can hardly walk! I wish you the best .How many ccs do you have in? how much can you eat at a time? half a cup? or more? Lisa Lap 63

Hey Cordova chick,Tell us your secret? is that pre band weight also? Beth,how did you get 2 fills so quick? have you lost alot too? How many cc? so far/ Lisa Lap 63

That first bite gets me every day still! it will take me awhile,i have ate so fast my whole life ,i always think my bite was small enough ,but i guess not.How sick though,i get sickthen i sit down and then i do it right.Lisa lap 63

Thank you for the suggestions, i hope i get to the place you are in weight loss.How long did it take you ,How many fills did it take to find the right spot and how do you know? Do you eat a snack at night? do you eat more than 3 times a day? I need some helpful hints thanks Lisa Lap 63

Hi there! It is just a thread? im not a computer wiz ,so excuse me.How did you lose so much weight?How many cc are in your band? I cant get below 220! I havent lost much at all! What are you doing? Lisa lap 63

hey every one,i just got my second fill Thursday and boy can i tell a difference now! i have 5 cc in my band.Now i hope this slow progress can speed up i have only lost 14 pounds since my surgery on Dec 16 2008.I thought i would be down quite a bit by now,I gave my girlfriend all but two things in my winter wardrobe ,what a fool.I could have worn them all winter.i need mental help,how do you let that food go? I eat and have all this food left.I want to sit and eat it even though i am stuffed .Any suggestions

Hopeful 09,I have a sweet tooth now too! i think it is because it sure goes down easy! And in your mind,hey i havent ate much today.I also have a problem eating only 3 meals a day! by 7-8 at night i am starving.Do you have that problem? I drink lots of water but the urge is so strong.I get my fill ( second one ) Thursday.I hope its better Lisa lap 63

Hi,How do you know things are so different/ is it so much of a fill that you cant eat anything? i am hoping my fill on Thursday will help me out1 I have only lost14 pound since December 16 o8.i hope i get better Lisa
