I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT EVERYONE MENT ABOUT THE "SWEET SPOT" UNTIL I REACHED IT WASN'T WHAT I EXPECTED BUT IT IS SWEET JUST NOT TO BE ABLE TO EAT TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING. I AM 4MONTHS OUT AND HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 56LBS. I AM PROUD OF ME CAUSE THIS HAS NOT BEEN EASY EVERYBODY THINKS WE "LAP BANDERS" TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT BUT THAT IS A JOKE THERE IS NOTHING EASY ABOUT THIS.

I AM THE KIND OF PERSON THAT NEEDS TO FOLLOW A PLAN AS FAR AS WHAT TO EAT AT EACH MEAL CAN I HAVE HAD MY LAP BAND FOR 13 WEEKS AND HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 49LBS BUT I EAT JUST ABOUT WHAT I WANT SOMETHINGS I KNOW I SHOULDN'T AND LOTS OF IT I HAVE BEEN AT THE SAME WEIGHT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS I KNOW IT'S MY EATING HABITS I NEED SOMEONE TO SEND ME  A LIST OF FOODS THAT THEY EAT A SAMPLE MENU WOULD BE GREAT
PLEASE HELP!

I can't beleive it has been eight weeks since my surgery. I am down 21lbs not counting my 24lbs pre-op. I feel great and I am thrilled that I made the decision to have Lap Band I never thought it would be this easy. I do have to work at it to get the weight off but it's worth it. I walk any where from 3 to 6 miles a day climb six flights of stairs while at work at least 2 x's a day I basically use the stairs now instead of elevators. I joined  a gym so I get a good work out on a daily basis one way or another. I used to make excuses not to exercise now I just do it with no complaints. I get praises everyday on my weight loss. I feel like a new me already even though I have about 55 more pounds to go. This site has really helped me through this whole process and it has been so good just to log in and read some of your comments. My friends are really helpful. Thanks to the OH site for being there when I needed advise.

Thanks to all who wrote to me before surgery. It was great having your support. Surgery went very well I had no pain meds until 9 that night got out of hospital the next day, Friday. Never really felt pain just a pulling feeling that I still get when I have to many liquids. As each day passes a feel back to my old self. Not there but almost. I have lost 8 lbs since my surgery on Thursday, giving me a total of 32lbs so far. It's kinda hard to do the liquids because you are full before you sip just a little that's when I feel the pulling. Time to go to work just wanted to check in with my OH friends.

Talk with you thinner!

6 DAYS UNTIL SURGERY. KINDA NERVOUS BUT OKAY

TWO WEEKS BEFORE AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME POSITIVE STORIES ABOUT THE LAP BAND. COME ON PEOPLE I NEED SOME INCENTIVE TO REALLY GO THROUGH WITH THIS.

Finally, I have a date I was very undecided about what I wanted gastric or Lapband. I made up my mind and choose Lapband. I hope I don't regret it. My date it is March 26, 2009. I lost 24 lbs on the protein diet but a feel like since I found out I have a date I want to eat everything under the sun. I hope I don't gain all the weight back before I have surgery. If you have any suggestions as to what I need to do to get back on track please feel free to put it on my blog.
 

I am in the begining stages of getting all the test and the weigh ins. I am really nervous about the hold thing. But I want it sooooo bad. I plan to have Gastric. I am 45 years old and have 2 children one whose an adult and has a child and one who is only 12 years old. I am married and was born and raised in Prattville. I really haven't told anyone that I am going to have Gastric except my family (not my mother or siblings) I want to I get approved to do it before I tell them. It will be early next year when I should be done with all the test. I have done everything except the sleep ap, nutritionist and psychiatrist. I have been to the dr's so much in the past couple of months till I could just scream! my bmi was not high enough on my first visit to dr mora (who is my surgeon) but I went on yesterday and it is. I am hoping that some of my other test come back saying that I qualify. I have acid relux and something with the pulmonary test that the nurse said would qualify me to have the surgery.
