Lap Band Gal

Hi! Yes, I'm on FB as a page that you can "like". Checkout my blog below and there is a link to my face book page from my blog. You can find me on FB as "lap band gal".

I told and tell everyone who will listen to me. It is my accountability. Wanna feel my port? LOL But seriously, it is a very personal decision and you should tell or not tell based on YOU.

Good to hear from you guys

Congrats! That's a lot of hard work...and totally worth it

AMAZING WORK!

Congratulations on all your successes!

about 1200 when I was losing. about 1400 in maintenance.

I use a digital scale...even now at 2.4 years post op

I still love food. But in a different way. I really look for high quality/taste now. Where before it was quantity not quality.

At 6 months post op I had lost 67 lbs

Yes, this happens to me. Especially when I eat too much. My port area I think rubs against my stomach when it is so full. But laying on my left side makes it feel better.

Hi Everyone! How are you doing?

Thanks! I get a lot of accountability from my blog. Seeing everyone's before and after pics are GREAT! :-)

Awesome! You are an inspiration!

Hi Everyone! Just thought that I would stop by and introduce myself. I've been banded for over 2 years and at goal for about 15 months. Who else is in this forum?

I'm about 2.5 yrs banded...so not quite 3 yrs yet...i will lurk on this thread

Anyone else do Jazzercise for their workouts? I've been doing it for over a year now and I LOVE IT! By the way, it's kinda sad how this forum doesn't have more posts. Exercise is the secret for me to be successful in maintenance.

I do classes at a local community center. I love jazzercise!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. @LadyBug: I think the most important thing that I did for myself to be successful was to find my accountability. For me, that is my weekly weigh-ins that I post on Fridays on my blogs. My favorite brand of Protein shake is unjury. Available only online. It's medical quality protein. I sometimes wonder and question the quality of the protein of the shakes I see at costco or WalMart. Unjury is also the best tasting in my opinion. I tried ALL the shakes when I was pre-op and Unjury was my fave.

I think that this would drive traffic from my blog to this site. Does such a "button" exist? Thanks

Yep, it works, thanks!

YAY!!!!!! I love it
