Topic: RE: help im at a stall
I know I was in a stall for about a month. I looked at what I was eating and it was WAY too many carbs. I had a pretzel and cracker thing going on. I had low blood pressure (even passed out from it. I am now off all BP meds) and was trying to get more salt. Only way I can tolerate that was on either pretzels or crackers. I cut the carbs and the weight loss kicked back in. I am now down 3 pounds in one week.

I shall now be know as Hagatha: Queen of the queens.

Topic: RE: WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR??? We're at 6 months
I am down 116 from my heaviest, and 78 from surgery morning.  I can eat what I want, and have only thrown up one time, damn pizza and it's tempting deliciousness.  I am finding that I love not being the biggest guy anymore when I goto parties, or restaurants.

Topic: RE: WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR??? We're at 6 months
I had surgery 1/29/08.  So far I have lost 106 pounds.  Since I have been overweight all of my adult life, (I am 54) my skin is SAGGING.  I have always had large breasts (even as a teen and slim) so I still fill up a DD cup but again SAGGING.  I always had a strong sex drive but now feel too self conscious to get naked.  not a problem yet as I haven't been involved with anyone for over a year.  A couple of questions....how are you all dealing with the body image as far as sex goes?  When I see myself in the mirror at home I still see that fat woman but when I am shopping and walk past a full length mirror I am shocked that it is me.  I look GOOD!!!    The weight loss at first was very fast.  lately it has slowed down yet still consistent.  I want to lose about 35 more pounds.  When does the weight loss slow down to the point where it becomes difficult to lose anymore?  or does it?  I know when I hit a plateau for a few days or weeks, I go back to the chicken only or with a little brown rice and that gets me back on track.  Love reading all the posts.  it is great to know we are not in this alone.

Topic: RE: WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR??? We're at 6 months

I am down 104lbs. I feel great...looking way better. gone from a 22-24 to a juniors 10-12...

exercising daily - active constantly!
Sex - definate improvement and amazing....and often.
Struggle with sugars - anything over 5-6 gr per serving - arfff! I get nausea if I have much fatty content so - needless to say I avoid fat and sugar. I still cannot eat rice....major gets stuck. I can eat half a piece of toast. with pb so I get some protein too.

I am finally not seeing the fat chick in the mirror - but I dont see what everyone else is either! My health is way improved. working with a trainer several days a week and swimming daily too. Just started a dance hip hop cardio class - lovin that I can move it.

I am not likeing clothes as much as I thought I would because they cost too much then are too big in 2 weeks. so I have been "baggy" alot.

much success to you all.
Faith

Don't know whether you'ave had your surgery yet, but I was banded with dr. Krahn in May 2005 - was his second band. I'm up in  northern CA now, but all my followup surgeons said heplaced the band in a perfect position. Let me know how you are doing. I teach LapBanders now about getting good support groups.

Topic: RE: When will I get enough fill?
Can you tell me what's so important about the protein.  I heard I need to have lots of protein also, especially in the moring, but why is this?  thanks.

Topic: RE: When will I get enough fill?
How are you doing now in Sept?  I had my surgery in January also, and I still have only lost about 7 lbs.  I have had 3 fills.  I keep discussing my frustrations with the doctor, but not getting anywhere.  Any suggestions?

Topic: RE: Banded in January 2008 and need some serious help
I have had 3 fills.  My last fill was on June 5th.  After my first fill I lost 10 lbs and then gained 13 within 3 months.  I just don't understand, but I guess I need to go back.  I really thought I would see a difference by now.  Thanks for the info and I am going to take your advice and see my doctor
