Gross, But I need to POOP
Austindoll replied to Want To Be Thin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had the same problem. It was almost unbearable sometimes. I use Miralax mixed in with my beverages. Tasteless and odorless it just mixes right in. I have to do this on a weekly basis now. It may help. -
You are a true inspiration Austindoll! Hope to do as good as you. I was banded on Dec 7th and I have lost 22 lbs so far. Did your time go by quickly, or slowly? I feel like time is dragging by so slowly and I can't wait to get to the finish line. Take care hon! You look great!

Hey Austindoll,
I posted a new pic of me minus 50 lbs. Let me know if see a difference.

I was sooo eager for the weight to start coming off, I wanted it to happen fast. It didn't for me, it's been a lot of work but for a while, my "average" was about 2 lbs a week. Now, it's about 1lb....which I'll gladly take because it gives me time to tone up and build my muscles so I don't get all mushy!
Hang in there! -
These are a few before shots, of course most are of my face only. You know when you're heavy,you get really good at cropping!

Thanks for the picture comment! It feels good to know there are others out there who understand what I am going through! Hope you are doing well! I just went through a bad spell with my band being too tight, and seems like overnight, the flood gates have opened up and I need another fill! lol! Hope to see "less of you" in the near future!

Well, it's October 1st and here I am at 157 lbs wearing a size 6 dress. Who would have thought it? Not me for sure. The best news, I'm still off of the insulin and other meds. My health issues have improved so much with still a little work to do. My original goal weight was 135 lbs and hopefully by the end of the year I'll get there? I can only keep working hard and trying my best.

I saw your pics online and I just wanted to wish you well on this journey. I too amd a diabetic which was my reason for the banding. Since the day of my surgery, I have been OFF of the insulin and as time went on I was taken off of my blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, nexium and my pain meds lessened....it's all so worth it. Just hang in there and be positive. You can do this!

Mirror Mirror on the wall........... The truth and nothing but the truth
Austindoll commented on debbieperez55's blog entry in Blog 42354
Thank you for this post. I too have the loose skin and try not to dwell on it. I've had rude, nasty comments about my arms flapping....I look at myself in the mirror and realize that I did this to myself. At least I'm alive, healthier and off of my insulin....there is still more work to do but your post was inspiring to me. Keep your head up and strut! :smile2: -
Today I am a size 10. I now weigh 164 lbs. I cannot recall ever being this small. It's a lot to get used to. I am working soooo hard to achieve what I need to with the help of my band. I'm hanging in there and trying to be positive!

Please help, not sure if it's too tight!!

I am going through the same thing. I had my first fill and feel exactly like you. From what I understand though, this is how it's SUPPOSED to work. I used to be able to chug my drinks all day....not now. It's a behavior thing I'll definitely have to work really hard at getting used to.
