Hello

I have become pretty much vegetarian and juicing vegetables has helped me lose ! I go to the gym every night and lift weights :) I also never eat more then 1200 cals a day and eat extremely clean!!!

Thanks for posting -- inspirational! I love how I feel when I eat "clean" -- energized and grounded at the same time. My problem has been an inability to sustain that mode -- the falling off the wagon. I am really hoping the band will work for me. No date yet (what a process!). These posts help keep me going.

Hi my name is Alaina and I had my lab band surgery November 16,2012. I weighed 265 pounds and I was in a size 22 pushing a 24. it has been 7 months since my surgery and i am now in a size 14 in pants and I weigh 190 pounds. it feels great to go shopping for clothes and know that I can fit into juniors clothes!! If you put in the effort and get your fills when you are supposed to then you will see results. The lap band works and I am the proof!!

I have had my band for almost 3 years. I started at 318 wnd now I am 238. I too have had to realize the commitment of changing eating habits to almost all vegan! I feel great! When I eat something that is loaded with sugar, carbs, calories, fat, or salt I feel awful! The food we eat really makes a difference in how we feel. Dr. Joe Fuhrman nutritional researcher and physician points out the toxic lifestyle we subject ourselves to. I am reading his book " Eat to Live" I am using it as a guide to break my habits of unhealthy eating. Exercise has become an everyday necessity. It is not an option. I have figured that out the hard way! For those of you that are limited with mobility for exercising try swimming! I started out doing that. I quit for a while but I have recently started back. I am excited to see what the future hold for me... And I wish you all the same journey! It's been hard, but I want to have good health and this is what must happen to get there! Discipline is a hard thing to learn when you have been out of control, especially when it comes to food and bad habits!! 1200 calories and maybe just a tad under is an awesome rule of thumb!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
