Friend Said She Was Addicted To Porn....so Am I!!!!
TracyW2 replied to cyn2011's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can't stand watching the food channel shows. Although, I love watching Man vs Food. I find that show addicting. I just found pinterest too. Wow, they have a lot of yummy recipes. -
How Much Did You Lose On Pre Lap Band Op Diet?
TracyW2 replied to legnarevocrednu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost 26 lbs in my 2 week preop diet. And the diet is to shrink your liver so they can get to your stomach and not have to cut you open. -
176 Pound Loss Possible?? Oh How I Pray It Is!
TracyW2 replied to Joel's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It is absolutely possible! I lost 150lbs in a year and a half, plus had a baby during that time. You can do it!! -
WOW!! You look absolutely amazing. I can not wait till I can finally get a TT.

I will be banded 2 years this November
TracyW2 replied to Soexcited's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I will be 2 years in December and still loving my band. I am pretty happy where I am as far as weight, but would love to lose another 10lbs. I have a lot of excess skin that will hopefully be taken care of next year. I still exercise about 4 days a week and eat what I want, just not as much. However, I think the maintaining stage is more difficult than the losing stage. Congrats on your two years!! -
I still chew gum.

I thought I might as well spread the Good News !

Awesome job!! -
I'm 5'9" and my dr had a goal of 160-190. I'm sitting between 175-180 and am quite happy with where I am. I have a lot of hanging skin around my belly that would need surgery to fix. So I'm sure once that is gone, I will be down a little more.

Banded in June, just found out that I'm pregnant
TracyW2 replied to roziecakes's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Congrats. I got pregnant with my band baby 4 months after being banded. I ended up having some of my fluid taken out at 15 weeks. But it was a great pregnancy. The only thing I freaked out about was gaining weight. I ended up gaining 30 pounds, but have since lost all of that plus much more. -
I want 4-5cc at once. will anyones Dr. do that for them?
TracyW2 replied to NYdad's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My dr did 4cc on the first fill and I believe 3ccs on the second. -

Recovery with a toddler
TracyW2 replied to Meglvn100's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You do adjust. My little boy was 14 months old plus I had a small daycare at the time. Surgery was on Thursday and I was back to working on Monday, but just taking it easy. If you need to lift him, just sit on the couch and have them climb on your lap. -
Is it safe to get pregnant soon after lap band surgery?
TracyW2 replied to navywife86's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I got pregnancy 4 months after being banded. I had no issues related to my band with my pregnancy. -
Awesome job. I had a pic up of me on the computer from the day of my surgery. My 5 year old pops up and goes, "Who is that?" Amazing that was me just a year and a half ago.

I find it commical that you put this in Fitness & Excersize. LOL Go for it whenever you are comfortable.
-
It is definitely an excercise machine that you have to get use to and built up to. Keep at it and you will be flying on it with the best of them. I swear by the elliptical and couldnt imagine doing anything else.
-
I still feel like the fat friend, even though I very much am not. Your confidence grows with each pound that you shed. So that definitely helps.
-
You will get your endurance up as you do more. I started out only doing 5 mins and just slowly worked myself up. And you can play with the settings and see what you like the best. I have been using the elliptical for 2 years now and still have days where my muscles are having a tough time keeping up.

Anyone afraid of Failing??
TracyW2 replied to amys0703's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm petrified of failing and gaining the weight back. I know somone on here had a quote that has stuck with me: Food doesnt taste as good as skinny feels. And it is soooo true!! -
I was addicted to my scale. I would weigh myself in the morning and then several times a day and then before I went to bed. Now that I am at goal, I will weigh myself every few days. I keep myself honest by doing that.
-
I have good and bad days. Some days seems like I can eat anything. Then there are others where nothing goes down well. I have a friend who has the same issues with hers, so I'm guessing it is normal.

The Band/Pregnancy
TracyW2 replied to CasHorsinRound's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I agree, if you are only eating one meal a day, you are too tight. You are going to need more calories for you and your growing baby. -
Im at my goal weight now, but am just not happy because of my excess belly skin. I see it as a lot of fat that needs to be gone. I keep hoping that once I do get a TT, I can finally be happy. Oh and I kept changing my goal weight and seeing how I looked when I got to each goal.

I have a friend who was banded a month before me and she hasnt lost anything for about a year now. She is jealous that i look better, weigh less and wear smaller clothes than she does. But whenever I try to get her to join me at the gym, I always get excuses. I really thought she would be one who I would have to join me in this journey. There is always going to be someone jealous of your success.
