losingjusme

hi Alan, welcome to LBT

.... not quite. like wheetsin said, try the FAQ. good luck on your journey.

sorry to hear you havent lost any weight, but what about measurements? did you take them pre-op? compare the numbers. if you didnt take them preop, take them now and then next month. also, i suggest changing your exercise routine, ramp it up a bit. good luck, you'll get there!

you know, the ones i have from Nouvelle are actually quite light weight... we'll see how i do at Disney though... it hasnt been too hot here yet.

just really look at the picture ...

hmmm, 3 days post op? i dunno how much you are going to want to 'hang out'. that's about when the extreme discomfort set in for me. you may want to read the feb/march plastics thread and that will give you a good idea of what we experienced.

**shudder**

im staying on plan today cause it works only if i stay on it...

OMG ... his head looks imposed on that body ...

what about the glitter??? dont forget the glitter...

steph, today is the first full day i've gone without my garment and i can honestly say i look about 6 months preggers ... even DH noticed it :biggrin: soooooo... back to the garment i go... its not like it is a bad thing to wear, im actually used to them, but i just wanted to see what would happen if i didnt wear it. now i know. even the mons area is swollen ... i am so happy for you... you are going to look SOOOOOOOOO freaking amazing! C

:thumbup: :biggrin: :smash: ... that is all.

ok ... here are mommi-hammi's pics... doesnt she look great!!! (yes, swollen, but great!!)

OMG, Steph - 3 days!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOO! i am so excited for you!

thanks Juli, dont feel much like a rock start right now ... but, tomorrow is another day, right? i do have a belt and it has room for a Water bottle, but i just wasnt thirsty during my 9-miler... **shrug** i will make myself drink and eat (splurging on sour cherry jellie bellies) during the race... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm best of luck on your 100 miles... i cant even fathom that long on a bike!!!

wow, guess your doc is really liberal. i, personally, wouldnt even try to do anything more than Clear Liquids for the first 2 weeks. the whole stomach churning/healing thing. good luck.

tina, when did your surgeon say you could progress from liquids? day 4 is REALLY early to move on... chicken broth, Protein drinks, Jello ... good stuff like that.

ingyrob ... whats up with your ticker?

oh yes, Telly! and Puddin doesnt post much here either... i miss all the 'old timers' (heh) and their incredible wisdom...

mommi i'll PM you my email address, zip them to me and i can post them for you if you'd like.

hi bigrick, IMO the wait is worth it. best of luck to you!

i hit about 125-130 gone in a year. i agree, exercise is key

i posted the same thing a week or so ago ... there were some good responses there. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/extreme-tightness-after-long-exercise-session-59430/

well i guess you'll have to find our very own sucess story and follow their journey!

noone on LBT would be that brash!!! :wink2: ... unless they were a true 'sucess'...
