Phentermine & the band

You're an inspiration to me!!!  You lost your band in July and managed to keep the weight off and lose some more?!  Good for you!

I lost my band about a month ago and have been able to maintain (and lose a few as well) - but I know the odds are stacked against us!

Thanks for posting your response!

 

Hugs,

Kristen,
Thank you for the kind words.  Its been a hell for me since July.  I have felt such trauma losing my band.  Why did you lose yours if you don't mind me asking?  YES - our odds are not so great, but I am DETERMINED.  I sure wish I could have a wand and wave it and have $15,000 in my hand to take to my surgeon for a Sleeve surgery!  :-)

Its tough - but I stick to my lap band diet and stay under 30g of carbs a day (20 on a good day), and exercise.  Lots of water!!!!

Take care and we can do it despite the odds!

I have been taking it for 2 days and am feeling good so far. I am glad to hear that you have lost 16lbs. I hate this stall. I mean I eat less than 1200 cals a day and work out 3 to 5 times a week and still no weight comes off. I sure hope this is what it takes to break my stall.

I hope you get it all figured out. Have you checked you vit levels. I am B1 and D def. I have alot of the sluggish things you have, the hair is def a vit d problem. They are constantly checking my thyroid and nothing shows up. Every woman in my family has a thyroid issue except for me.

Lex,
I hope you will keep us posted.  Hugs your way.  Just a side note - have you ever thought about increasing your cals a little?  Starvation mode always got the best of me.  I found when I ate about 1000+ 1200 cals I lost quicker, and any less than that I stalled.  My hair situation improved as well.  I hope you find all of your answers from your blood tests!!!!!!  Please keep me/us posted ok?  I've thought about you wondering how you are.
