Happy 49th Birthday luvs2laff!

2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary luvs2laff!

Hey Lakeside! Down 40lbs?!! That's awesome! Congratulations! I could do a lot better with my diet, but I am having the time of my life participating in things I never thought I would have the confidence to do! I feel healthier and younger than I have in 20 years! Best of luck....you're doing great! How do you feel?

I have to follow the post op diet for 16 days then I can progress to mushies. Just looking for some variety in the day to day.

24 lbs!! Awesome!! (or as you Southern folks say, "Yea Haw!") This will probably be the one and only time in your life, when you are actually craving the "mushy food" stage! How much longer before your dr. lets you move into the mushies?

Thanks for the heads up on the website. Went there and got some recipies. I have been walking quite a bit but got a little lightheaded today (in the 90s down here), overall down 24 lbs and very happy about that. No turning back now.

Okay, I know I should be sympathetic, but....if your sick of those shakes now, you'd better learn to love them quick!!! Try bariatriceating.com....they have some recipes that might help you through this stage! It really is like torture and I remember it all too clearly! Hang in there...you're doing great!

Down 20 lbs now, just very bloated feeling, man I want some real food, this protein shake thing has gotten a little old. I hope this phase will end soon.

Glad to hear everything went well! I don't think you'll ever regret making a decision that is good for your health! I feel like a completely different person in so many different areas of my life and how I approach them! Best of luck and wishing you continued success!

Finally got banded today, no problems, great experience with Dr and staff. Walking, even sending some work related emails. Hungry though, eating some sugar free jello and popsicles. Thanks again for your support.

Hey! Congrats on the weight loss! You must feel a difference already in your energy level and the way your clothes fit. Good for you and keep up the good work!

Just to follow up had my preop today lost 15lbs. Surgery on Wed. Have a good weekend.

Hi I hope all is well .... I am down 48 pounds as of today YEAH!!!! I have not had a fill yet. I might be getting one on May 5th. I have been working out with a trainer How ae you doing? Did you have another fill?

Thanks sandy! sorry to hear that ur not having great restriction yet. I havent had too much. I still limit myself and mentally estimate calories for the day to help me lost the weight. I just had a fill last week and have a little better restriction but its not hardcore. good luck on ur restriction journey and keep up the kickboxing!
