Happy 39th Birthday Shrinking Shadow!

2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary Shrinking Shadow!

You're such a beautiful girl. Good luck with your surgery!

Thanks so much for the photo compliment! To tell the truth, I just started walking. I lost 80 without any exercizing. It's getting a lot slower though. Good luck!!

You're such a beautiful girl! Can't wait to see the "after" pics!! Good luck! Heather

Me too!! I really have to concentrate when I eat or it will get stuck like you said, and the pain is horrible. I've thrown up more than I care to count, but that's because I eat too fast. I'm working on it though. Good luck! Have a great weekend!!

I so know what you mean..i havent really gone down sizes but my pants are looser and shirts are too..its kinda frustrationg sometimes. I have to really concentrate when i eat too or things get stuck and boy does that hurt. I have had a hard time getting on an exercise schedule too but everyday is a new day right?

I'm great thanks! I think I'm finally at that "sweet spot" that they talk about. I'm not hungry in between meals any more. Thank goodness! I had lost 39 about a week ago, so probably 40 by now. I have had a few issues with eating too fast, but other than that, everything is great. I still haven't gone down any sizes though.?? You see all these people on these magazines who lost 25 lbs and go down 15 dress sizes. hahah Not me!

hi there! Im doing pretty good ive lost about 28lbs how are you doing?

Hey there!! I'm Heather from VA. I got banded the same day as you. Hope you're doing well.

ok sounds great. I will email ya!

LOL. Yeah I would feel the same way! I'm going to try the taco salad thing. Sounds DELICIOUS! And thanks for the book recommendation! I'm going to look into that for sure! Here's another question I had - am I supposed to be measuring things on a scale, or putting them in 1/2 cup and eating what fits in there? Sometimes I do one, sometimes I do the other. But the other day I had 1/2 cup of Mamwich with lean ground beef and I weighed it and it was like 6 ounces! I'm a little confused on that. I go to the DR tomorrow. I will ask. Do you have this problem?

Are you down any sizes? I'm not. :0(

Ok, I meant www.amazon.com why can't I type anymore???

I wanted to tell you about this book I got. It was actually recommeded to me by my nutritionist. It was written by a former nutritionist at the same hospital whre I had my surgery. I got to look at the book in her office before I bought it. But I ended up buying it on www.bn.com (but its also on www.amaxon.com ) Its called Recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery. By margaret m furtado. Its mostly all for like 6-8 weeks post op...so when we're back on regular food. But they have great recipes in there (since you're uncreative like me!) and picture. I just wanted to recommend that to you! I bet it will lhelp.

What a great idea! I'm definately going to try that too!! Do you have any more great ideas for what to eat? Like what you really like and dislike? I'm not very creative. How many have you lost total since the pre-op? I think I've lost 25 according to my scale, but I go to the dr on Thursday so we will see.
