Can eat anything when before I couldn't
CASSIEME1 replied to BabyBelle's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
could mean you need a fill.i am in the same boat.i havent had a fill in 7 or 8 months.i am hungry and can eat things i previously haven't been able to eat.so i have an appointment on thursday for a fill.hopefully this will put me at my sweet spot and last me for over 6 months. -
i have never lost 2 or 3 lbs in 1 week.so i guess that means that i have never reach my sweet spot.ihave always had to exercise 1 to 2 hrs a day to lose 10 lbs in a 3 month period.

t thanks i needed to see and read this.it explains a lot to me -
i started to skip this one because of the language title too.but i too am a RN.i have had people take a double look who havent seen me in a while.and others tell me i am abou to disappear.i have gone from a size20/22 to a size 8/10.but i am no where near my goal.my internal medicine md is pleased with my wt loss.i have offically been off my diabetic meds for a year,and unoffically for 2 years.because i was on them prn.maybe having to take a tablet once a week.my goal is 50 more lbs.and to keep them off.pray with me and for me as i pray and hope for all who take this journey.now one of my favorite shows is the biggest loser a show that i used to not even glance at lol.

hi this is great.im still struggling.i have not met my goal.im 2 years post surgery.my md said that it usually take 3 yrs to accomplish your goal with the lap band.often i still wish that i had had the gastric bypass instead.because i will always be dieting and exercising to try and be where i want to be,this is a life time journey for me.my body just dont react the way most of the people body's does according to this forum.i go in for a fill next its been over 7 months. -

GREAT WORKING HAD BEEN DOING SOME OVERTIME HADNT BEEN ON IN A WHILE. IN A SIZE 8/DRESS. 10/JEANS.STILL WORKING ON ME NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE :rolleyes2:
-
yes there are risks with anything.there are so many risks involved in the obesity ream of life that can scare the pants off you.so having health issues and seeing and knowing what could possibly be down the road for me,out weighs the potential for having the lapband.when i got ready to begin my journey my sister asked me how i felt about not eating food this holiday.my response was i have been eating over 45 years so its just food if i havent eaten it by now oh well.

you look great.so different

Hi i feel u 6 yrs ago i was diagnosed a diabetic.that was devasting 4 years ago i realized iwas not just over wt but morbidly obese .really depressed. My insurance wouldnt pay for surgery even though i have diabetes and high blood pressure. I decided i would have the surgery even if i had 2 charge up my credit cards.so i did 23/23/08. Everybody said i was crazy 2 do this at xmas. I told it was just food and i have eaten enough for 46 years. I have gone from a size 20/pressing 22 to a size 8. Last week ilooked in the mirror on the head of my bed and was shocked at what i saw. I had to take astep back and look at me again.i said is that me.yet still not where i want 2 b wt wise.more encourged now.my md is amazed.but it is not about him. It all about me.so hang in ther guys
