It's nice to see how everyone is doing and their progress. I am currently down 72 lbs and 9 weeks pregnant!!!! The band is so wonderful, even through pregnancy. I had 1 cc taken out in my 6th week and it's interesting to see how much the band really works!!!!! Deep down I always hope that it's my willpower, but now having little restriction, I know a lot of it is the band. The best decision I ever made!!!

Congrats Banded08!!! I had to get a complete unfill during my pregnancy but it has not really derailed my weight loss.

I hope you have a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy.

Well it's been an incredibly long time since I posted on LBT. I occasionally browse through but not as often as I used to. I've had my share of ups and downs and plateaus that made me CRAZY but all in all this has been a fabulous experience. My main thing I need to get in control is not so much how much I eat as it is what I eat. Even with my fill level at a good amount (ie: I can't really eat before lunch time and even then it's touch and go) I do not PB at all, I will occasionally slime and feel uncomfortable but it always goes down. Lucky? Maybe lol. As for exercise I go through phases where I exercise a lot and then I will be lazy for a bit but that's going to change for good I tell ya!

Even though I'm not on here often, I do update my blog and post pictures on there. :scared2:

Ang,

Great to hear from you! I was terrible about exercise, but then I tried the Couch to 5K and I loved it. I just finished the 9 week program on Saturday. I plan to continue running. I'm really enjoying it!

Best of luck to you and keep us posted!

Been a long time since I've been on here...I'm down 65 pounds ( I haven't updated my ticker, I'm at work and can't, its restricted). Moving from a size 14 to a 12. Finally got restriction after countless fills. I don't get on here very often at all now, but I do keep up my blog pretty regularly.

I've been maintaining my weight loss, but not losing lately. Can't seem to find the motivation to get rid of the last 20 lbs. I'm happy with where I am at and what I've achieved, but disappointed in that I know I could do better.

I went back to basics about a week ago (high Protein, more exercise) so hopefully it will help.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi all,

I have not posted here forever. Glad to hear everyone is doing well. It has been a rough month or so here, could not get over the hump and was just wanting to lose something but kept fluctuating between a couple pounds up and a couple of pounds down. I have now hit the 100 pounds down and hopefully since I met this goal it will be just the right motivation for me to get my rump up and keep moving!!!

Keep up the good work!!

Its been funny. One month I lose a big amount, then the next month nothing, so I think this month is going to be nothing.

I am not stressing over the weight loss, or lack of it, since I am not gaining. I figure as long as its not a gain, its not worth worrying about.

It may be a crummy attitude, but its working for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
