Hello everyone! I had surgery 1-9-09 and have lost 70 lbs. Now I am at a standstill. :thumbdown: I have recently started doing the biggest loser workout, but am curious as to what is the best thing to do to get the weight coming off again and toning. I have had 2 c-sections and have the saggy pouch at my incision is there any way to tighten this up? I was wondering since the muscle had been cut if it was now impossible to tighten that up. Also, my back fat....what in the world can I do for that? It isnt extremly bad, but it does drive me nuts. Just wanted to say that I am so happy I made the decision to have this done. I started out at 230 and in a size 24 pants and now I am 160 and in a 11 or 12 jean!:angry: Please any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have been reading so many post on here about the quick weightloss. What did you do to get this much weight off. As of the 13th I have been banded for 2 months. In this time I have only lost 17 pounds. The doctor told me it would be 1 to 2 pounds a month but it seems so many people are losing faster. What can I do, I am walking 3x a week but feel I need to up that. Also I have 4cc in my band, just need some advice.:thumbdown:

I chose not to lose the weight too fast. I've only lost 35 pounds since May, but I've gone from a size 22 to 14. I've been doing pilates, which has built lots of nice long muscles, strengthened me everywhere, and totally toned my abs. I have no loose skin at this point and I've also had a C-section.

Now that I'm going to Pilates 4x a week, I'm ready to add some aerobic exercise to my days. I bought an eliptical. Now to go upstairs and put it together!

      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.
