Topic: RE: Weight loss since Feb
My Surgery date was Feb. 5, 07. I have lost 72 lbs since Dec 06. My goal is 150 or so.
I have only lost 43 since surgery; feel I have been a very slow loser. I hit a lot of plateau's.. I get stuck a lot.. I exercise like crazy, treadmill, bike ect. at least 40-60 minutes a day, at least 5 times a week..
Here, here for posting high and low points; we all hit them all. And I am getting into some pretty gloomy moods lately too.. So I get it.. Judy R

Hi! My name is bridget k.
I just posted on here, because I just learned about this forum.
Just read my post and you will have my story.
Do you ever go on "lapband forum"????
Under the forum dropdown, go to lapband,
than on the far left in the blue area hit message board.
They are all lapsters, but now this is just "surgery dates in feb 2007"
just so you know, I'm going slower than you. I did have a set back
but I need to see some numbers.
Good luck to you
bridget k.
Topic: I WAS ON THE NJ FORUM!!!
I did not know that their was a "feb 2007 surgery date forum"
this is great!!
I was banded on feb 12, 2007
I'm also a slow starter. 10 days after surgery I became infected
in the port incision with a staph infection called msra.
It landed me in the hospital for 7 days with iv meds.
I'm doing much better now, but the infection put off any fills.
I just had my first fill on May 2nd. I saw the doctor yesterday and
he said we can go for another "thank God\"..............
So I will have to wait for his office to call with a date.
Needless to say I think it will take another 3 weeks before I will see one.
They do it under x ray, and they have to get the use of the x ray equip.
I'm pretty down due to the fact that I've only lost 15lbs since the
whole process. Never gained , but only lost 15lbs. Their is no one
coming up to me saying you look so great, I hardly new you!!!!!
My support group has nothing but stories of success. I had to leave
the other night 1/2 way thru.... Do to the fact I could not stand to
listen to that anymore. I think I will not return to support until
is see some numbers.
Maybe the second fill will do it. "please God\"................
My best to all of you,
bridget k.

Can any of you (you are all doing great) share some suggestions as to what you are eating. i am pretty much left to my self (may not be a good thing) we can eat anything as tolerated. i was having carnation instant breakfast with a scoop of protein powder (30 grms of protein total) in the am, drinking this during my commute, doc says it is a no no i s/b eating instead, any help would be appreciated.....i feel like I am drowning here....
thanks

Topic: WOW moment (scale is moving again!)
WOW moments are great aren't they?? I was so excited to drop below 200 and now I weigh 186 after 3 months...exactly what I weighed in Aug 95 when I got the job I have now. I still even have the dress I wore for the interview (size 18) and tried it on the other night--IT FIT!! I bought a pair of jeans at the thrift shop yesterday (18 women's petite) and tried them on. They held everything in snug and with a buttoned shirt tied at my waist....well, I think I looked pretty darned good! Especially down from a size 26. I told hubby they were a bit tight in the backside and he checked it out and said "looks good to me". 
I had to laugh!
My stall is over (finally)...the scale is moving again! About 1/2 lb a day so far.

My Goal: I set it at the Doctors office at 199, so I reached it. Now I am thinking about setting it to 135
When you mention stuck do you mean a stall in weight loss?
