Hey there Sandra, I got your post to my blog, and I am interested in the Slim fast in the freezer thing. I am a huge Ice Cream and Ice cup fan, so which kind of slim fast do you use, the one already maid in the can and just pour it into something and freeze it or do you use the powder and make it and freeze it. Please let me know. I think that is probably a better alternative then Ice cream or sherbert or anything like that!!! LOL!!! Thanks

So tomorrow is your big day, congrats and good luck!!! Trust me it's well worth it, but I hope your really ready for a total lifestyle change, cause you can be told that it is a change until your blue in the face, but when it really comes down to it, thats when you really realize what a change this is, and I am very happy I did it, but somedays it's harder then others. It is a wonderful choice and it will help you, but it doesn't do it for you!!! Good luck and if you ever need to talk, you can email me anytime!!! Good luck!!!

Congrats on your Success thus far!!! If you ever need to talk or just need some I can try to be as much help as possible for you, I got my band in Feb of 2010, and I have lost 45 lbs so far, I last weighed in about 3 weeks ago, at the doctors, thats the scale I go by the one at home isn't reliable!!! lol, Well good luck and keep it up!!!

Hey Sue, sorry to hear your frusterated, when did you get your band? Are you eatting every 2 - 3 hours small amounts? No one ice cream is definatly not going to kill you and make you not loose weight, just as long as your not eatting them all the time. How is your restriction with your band? You say that you can eat cold chicken? I still have a hard time with chicken??? Well it also could be that your body is going into shock, cause of this new foreign object inside you and it's just going to take a little while to get used to having this thing and then your going to start loosing big. Don't worry unless your eatting way too much, your body will catch up!!! Good luck!!!

What do you do for work? Maybe if you sit at a desk at all you can do some desk exercises, how is your restriction on the band? Well good luck!!!! I know plateau's need just to be pushed through!!!

I love your tattoo!!! I have a Koi fish also, but I love the turtle and that stuff with it!!! I want to make my Koi fish tatttoo arm into a 1/2 sleeve, and love the water so I want to continue with that theme. Well enjoy it, It's VERY nice!!! -
Call your Doctor!!! I would definatly call and let them know that your having a hard time drinking. When you got your fill, didn't they check to make sure you could drink fluids before you left after your fill??? Thats what they did for me, and I had my fill a week ago, and trust me I have 5cc's in mine now, and I can barely touch solid foods, I am mostly drinking, and doing yogurt and small amounts of cottage cheese. I vomit everytime I eat solids right now!!! Well good luck!!!

Oh my goodness Poma, have you gone to see your doctor? I am so sorry to hear all that your going through, and trust me I have been there, except I have 2 kids to add to that kind of mix. I don't know if you had to see a psycologist before you went to have your surgury, but I think it would be best if you go and talk to someone!!! Stress can really be a hurtful thing to you in many different ways. You look to be very young, and you need to start doing something to release that stress in a good way, maybe write out what your stressed about and then just let it go!!! Life is what it is, and unless it's something you can change then you just have to say ok, well it is what it is, and its not going hurt me!!! I think your first step is to be thankful, you have a good brother that will let you come live with him, and then just realize that the rest will get better, just give it time!!! Well Good luck, and if you ever just need to talk, you can send me a message!!!

Richele, you only had your surgury a week ago and you feel like you can eat anything??? I think you should probably talk to your doctor about that, cause that is not normal, I have had my band since feb 10th, and I just got my first fill. Have you been eatting alot? Well I don't know everyone is different but a week after my surgury I was still mostly on liquids and some mushy, but nothing solid!!! I also replied on the blog, but I wanted to make sure you saw this, so I wanted to post it to your page also!!!

Honey you do your Thang, and don't let no man tell you what to do!!! Good Girl!!! You don't need their permission to do something that is going to help you be healthy!!! You need to do for you and forget them, they don't stick by you through this then when it comes to the other end, they don't get to be with you!!! I wish you good luck, and just know you can do it!!! -
Hey Chachis, I am having the same problem with the drinking thing, I feel like I have to do it, or I am going to choak, or something??? I catch myself, and so what I have been doing lately is I just don't bring a drink with me when I eat. I will deliberatly take out a drink and put it on the counter or whatever and leave it there and then walk away with my food, and go to another room and then when I am done, I will be like oh I need a drink now, and what I do is I will take a sip and wash my mouth and thats all!!! Its hard to remember just don't grab anything to drink while you eat, get it after!!! Good luck, and remember a pound lost is one less pound to your goal!!!

Hi M, I am not sure I have never had a fill, I have whatever he put in it when he put in the band. I am going in June for a checkup, and I am going to talk to him about doing one now. I know I am able to eat more then I should at this time only cause of the amount of solids I can eat. So Thanks I think that picture is from a month after I had the surgury. I am very excited about having it and I know everyday will be a challange, but I just have to keep in mind what is on the other end of all of this. I know I can do this!!!

Wow it flipped, well that stinks, but glad that things are working out better for you now!!! That is fantastic 46.8 pounds. Congrats!!! So your running a 5K, wow, that is awesome, I know I couldn't do that yet!!! I am not a good runner as it is, but I also have bad knees so that wouldn't help me either. I am doing well, I am trying to get into the solid food phase and its a lot tougher then I thought it would be, but I am getting there!!! Well Keep in touch!!! Tina

hi snatylove, first let me say congrats on getting your band!!! It is horrible at first, but trust me fully worth the pain!!! Couple little suggestions, drink as much water and good liquids so you don't get dehydrated, and the pain it is gas, its because they filled you up with air, and it just sits. Cough and move around as much as possible to get those gas pockets to move and break up and you will feel much better soon. Why can't you take a shower for 3 days? I could take one that very next day??? I had these waterproof white things on my belly and they didn't fall off??? Well I guess each surgen is different. Well good luck!!!

hey lexus, I replyed to your post on my blog, and I gave you my email address, but just in case I wanted to send you it here so you would get it easier. I would like that excel program you designed for calculating my intake. my email address is tina1577@verizon.net. Thanks so much!!!

Thanks Drowsy, I know what you mean about being a busy family, we are too, T-Ball, and Softball, and all the other wonderful things that comes with being a single mom with 2 kids, but you know what is a really good idea, and I haven't tried it myself, but it is one of the things on my to-do list, is Spend one day best would be the weekend and put together your meal plan, and make all your meals for the week, and then all you have to do is heat it up and your ready to go!!! I want to do this because even though I am eatting good, I am still giving my kids the horrible stuff like 50% of the time. They need to learn now how to eat healthy and that way they don't grow up having the same problems I did!!! Good Luck, and Keep in touch!!!

Hi Chris, I read your blog about your fill, and I couldn't comment, but I wanted to tell you that you are not wrong for doing what your doing!!! Don't let people put you down on your attempts at a healthier life!!! I do however feel you need to cut the fast food, and start working on your diet. I had my surgury Feb. 10th and have lost 40lbs and no fills yet. I just cut out all that bad stuff and became active. Have you tried support groups in your area? Well if you ever want advice or help, you can ask I will help!!!

Hey Stefani, I don't know much about the whole pregnancy after lapband, but I don't see how it could cause birth defects or anything like that, the lapband just makes your stomach smaller, and you still get the nutrition that you need from eatting, your just eatting in smaller portitions. I don't know fully though, but I did read the part where you said your doctor told you the infertility could be caused from you being over weight, well I have been over weight my whole life, and I have 2 children, and the two times I got pregnant was when I decided to go on a diet, and was loosing weight, so that sounds like it could be. I suggest talking to your doctor, surgen, ob about your concerns, and seeing what they have to say. Well Good Luck!!!

Yeah I think your doing good so far, and giving up soda, omg that was one of the toughest things I did!!! I loved Diet Coke, and that was my biggest down fall, and I sometimes miss it, and every once in a while I will grab a 20 oz still and just have a few sips, but it doesn't taste the same as it did before??? I am all set with having it all the time like I did before, but I will tell you that I wish I had done some of the training that your giving yourself, cause I sometimes feel like I am still very hungary and I will inhale my food, and then I am paying for it cause I am sitting there in pain!!! Trust me it's not a good thing!!! So now I sit and I try to keep it in my head that it's going to hurt and be very uncomfortable if I don't eat slowely and chew my food to mush!!! LOL You will do great, and thanks, I am really putting forth the most effort I possibly can, cause this isn't something that you can take laying around so to speak!!! I got the surgury for a reason, and I am not going to let it go to waste!!!

hey, I know exactly what you mean about being fat an lonely!!! I thought that noone could love me, and be with me bacause I was fat, and I found a wonderful man before I started this process and he reminds me everyday that I don't need to do this for him, and I have to remind him everyday that I'm not!!! LOL, yeah I love how I can put down all my feelings about my weight and stuff on this site and then know that no one is going to be cruel and mean cause we are all fighting the same fight!!! Well I will definatly keep in touch, as you do the same. I try to blog atleast 4 - 5 times a week just to follow my own process and if it helps others in the process I like that!!! Well have a good day!!!

hi anglov, I know what you mean about eatting and drinking, but you haven't been banded yet? Ohhh boy, I hope for your sake that you do master that before hand, I wish I had, it's horrible if you eat and drink at the same time!!! I feel horrible, but it sounds like your on the right track!!! I got my band on 2-10-10, and I am so far doing very well, I am up to 35 down since, and I am very happy about my progress!!! I look forward to meeting my goal, but know that it's not going to come without pain and determination, and it's not going to come overnight or easy!!! It's gonna take alot of work!!! Well good luck, and I hope for the best, Keep up the good work!!!

Well that was a great birthday presant now wasn't it!!! lol well that is fantastic!!! Oh I l know didn't it taste so good to beable to chew something!!! I love eggs, I use the egg white egg beaters!!! They are so much better for you, and I throw in some cheese, very yummy!!!

why? Does your insurance not cover it? My health insurance fully covered mine, and I didn't have to go anywhere!!! Well I think its the best thing they have come up with for people who have a hard time loosing weight on their own besides that Gastric Bypass, I didn't want to do a full surgury like that!!! I am very happy with my choice!!!
