Whew, Finally!
Feb 02, 2011
I have finally gotten off of the 43 lb weight loss. I was stuck there ofr ove 2 weeks! I am now down 45 lbs. It feels great. I am learning to take each day at a tiem. Looking too far into the future has always been a problem for me. I have to learn to be patient and keep focused day to day. I find that I take each day by itself and thank God for what I have, I can get to the gym and eat better. It keeps my frustration level at a minimum. Yea!

Help! I'm stuck at 43!!
Jan 25, 2011
I weighed in this mornong at my usual time- first thing before my shower. I have been at a 43 lb. weight loss for over a week!! I have been working out like I should and eating like I should. I am so frustrated and a little scared. I have been losing 2 to 3 lbs a week since surgery. I have had only one band adjustment. It was at 2 month post op just 2 1/2 weeks ago. Any suggestions for a jump start?

2 WEEKS POST-OP!
Nov 21, 2010
The last 2 weeks have been pretty rough. I am getiing better every day. I am down a total of 17 lbs. since my sergery. I have had no serious complications, only the side stuff like constipation , a little nausea, and some obnoxious pain. Starting on pureed food has been great. I made refried beans with some beef broth and cheese- it was great to taste soemthing besides protein drinks. The hardest thing for me has been drinking enough fluids between meanls and not drinkin 30 either side of a meal.
Feel good. Looking forward to some mashed potatoes for Thanksgiing and actually not stuffing myself like a turkey!!

My surgery is Monday!
Nov 05, 2010
I am so excited and so anxious! My lap band surgery is scheduled for this Monday Nov 8. My friends and family have been very supportive. A co-worker brought me a jug of liquid tylenol, crystal light pacs and a pill crusher this morning. I am looking forward to this journey- it has been one up to now just getting ready for surgery! I want to watch my weight ticker go down, down, down!!

I am just starting this journey. I have had all pre-op tests and visits except my endoscopy. That is scheduled for 10/12. I hope surgery will be scheduled close after. The hardest thing I have encountered is not drinking with meals! I never realized just how much I swg down my food. I am actually tasting my food more m=now. I am very excited and a little nervous. I am really encouraged by all the posts nad pictures. You guys are incredible.
