    Hey Lynne - Here is a Web Site someone sent me. I think you may enjoy it.

     

    :)

     

    So here I am, ready to make a great change in my life.. I'm committed and have my mind set to it. There's a website that I have been looking at that has some great recipes that will help us once we are able to eat again. It's theworldaccordingtoeggface

    You should check it out. The gal had bariactric surgery and is sharing her knowledge. The thing that I though was great is that she said that planning meals is the key to avoiding crapgrab.

    Saw the surgeon for the last time yesterday. I have an August 4th date. Researching it for three years and now ... finally .... I'm getting cold feet ! I've played the yoyo game with other diets way to long. Now if they only made a surgery for exercise and motivation. What is our name ????

    Holistic doctor said take extra omega 3 oil (fish oil) and that should help after a while. Good for heart and hair also. Can also get it in liquid form at health food store.

    Wow .... you have done great !!! Any little "secrets" to your success. Will be banded August 4th. Also, what kind of protein shake did you use ? Do you ever feel deprived ? Are you happy with your band ? Any complications ??

    Thanks !!!!!!!!!

    10 Lbs in 3 weeks .... GREAT. Feeling energetic ???? No complications? They called me today for my surgery date. I decided to put it off until August 4th since I still have tons of company in July. I really didn't "want" to, but felt it was best for everyone in the long run. I can easily loose weight, I don't have any urges to go way off my eating plan. It's keeping it off in the long run that I want to be motivated about. What Protein shake are you using ??? Take care, Janat in New Hampshire

    Long Term Success Rate--Anyone know?

    jvinciguerra1 replied to pch's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    In my office 2 girls did the full gastric bypass and both didn't get even near goal and gained all of it back. They both were so motivated at first .. then .....they they starting to drink a lot of their calories and eat anything they wanted. Not good statistics but I'm believing it all falls upon the individual. The key is not your body but what goes on in your mind. I plan to do the Weight Watcher program with the band (keep my portions under control) and walk most days. Try not to feel guilty when I screw up and move on. Discouragement I really want to erase from my vocabulary.

    Long Term Success Rate--Anyone know?

    jvinciguerra1 replied to pch's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I have been thinking about this long and hard also. Thanks for the thread. Not to many people have been doing this for a while. I can easily loose the weight without the band but seem to go back to my old ways. Wondering if the band will help me in the long term.
  24. jvinciguerra1
    I've researched the band for three years now and now that I'm getting banded in July '09, I'm getting colder feet. I've been overweight all my life and lost and regained a significant amount of weight throughout the years. I easily loose but just can't seem to keep it off. Right now I need to loose 150 lbs and just lost 55 on the WW program & with tons of walking. I know this is personal decision but if anyone has been in a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate all the advice I can get. ( good or bad ). You guys are all terrific and full of intuitive information that no one else can give. Thanks a bunch. Much appreciated !!!!!!

    JC nailed all our sins to the cross. Take one day at a time. Make sure you have a nice meal for dinner and don't skimp. Sugar free popsicles and puddings are a good choice if you need something at night. :wink:
