same here.... I never got rid of my clothes, so now I'm shopping in my own closet. I was a size 26 pants now I'm fitting in my 22s and a little loose, hoping to get into the 18's by the end of the yr. (maybe 20, but going to give it the old college try)

Thank you everyone, I guess I was just having a bad day!! You're right 45lb is good, if I think about it I could be 90lb by my one yr anniversary!!

Tell them not to worry!! Had my surgery on Monday, and went to a job interview on Wednesday. Just make sure you walk around every few hrs.

I see so many of you losing over 60lb and I've done 45. what are your secrets? is this including pre-op diets? I know I should be happy, but when I see other losing so much more, I feel like I'm not doing something right!! Please tell me what you do. Thank you!!!

Why remove the cheese? it's protein.

I was banded in 06/15/09 and so far I've lost 45lbs. I am really bad about exercising! I wanted to say I've lost at least 55 lbs by the my 6 months annivasary, so I may just push myself to start.

i did low carb... high protein. no flour, bread, pasta, potatoe, rice, sugar. couple of eggs for breakfast, tuna for lunch, chicken salad for dinner. things like that. try going to lowcarbfriends.com for ideas.

The best X-mas present you can give to yourself!! congrats...

I had a similiar experience... I called that 1-800 number.. was all schedule and a week b4 surgery I met an attorney. (friend's new boyfriend) He actully did malpractices, so I gave him my info... he made a few phone calls and bam he gave me a history of the place... they were plastic surgeons at first and he had a seize and exist pending on them... with so many lawsuits for their plastic surgery they switched to lap band... he said they have a revolving door of drs. there... needless to say I cancelled and went with another dr. which he recommended.

I'm doing the same thing right now... for the last couple of weeks, my puking has increased, so I started Tuesday going back to liquids and real soft foods. I'm thinking it may be swollen and I need it to go down, especially before Thanksgiving!!! don't need to have an incident in front of my family. If this doesn't work then it back to the Dr's. office. good luck!!

Hello everyone, I am looking for a support group in the los angeles area, preferably in La Puente, West Covina, Covina and any nearby areas. If you know of any please let me know. Dr. Lui has one but it's in Beverly Hills... too far. Thank you!

I know the feeling... it's happen to my several times. Now when I enter a resturant I'm always scoping out where the bathrooms are. All I know my band can be moody. Yesterday, I ate some green beans w/chicken at a chinese resturant... band didn't like it. Later in the evening I ate a bean and cheese burrito, was only goint to eat the inside, but tried a few bites of the tortilla and I guess my band like it. Go figure.

she say she didn't.... but so did Star Jones for the longest...

Remember you are not doing it for her.... YOU DID THIS FOR YOU!!!

amazing weight loss.... I'm 22 weeks out and have lost 40 lbs.... I'll take it!!! or should I say lose it!!

I would take it as a compliment!!! They obviously don't see you as a fat girl anymore!!!! Yeah YOU!!!

hello June bandsters.... today is Saturday, and I was wondering if anyone else enter their weight lost on the google spreadsheet NYNY. I lost 3lbs this week knowing I had to weigh in. I even had the nerve to post my pictures.

don't feel guilty... think about it! before the lapband would u have been so aware of what u ate. Probably a big fat NO!!! You took off the skin, ate one bite, ONE bite!! can you imagine urself doing that b4 and u chose the greenbeans and I'm sure u didn't eat the whole apple desert, just some. So I say congratulations on your new behaviour. If we were this aware before we wouldn't have gotten to where we are. and hopefully we can say were!!
