How is everyone doing?
How is everyone doing? Good! I recently started to get heartburn a lot, even though I take Prilosec every day ... I never had this pre-op, so I don't know how to deal with it!
Any complications? Not life threatening, just some heartburn every now & then.
Anything you can NOT eat? Pretzels as of lately, makes me sick.
What is the one thing you eat & know you shouldn't? Peanutbutter, I love it! I have the occasional cookie ... I buy them for my kids' lunches & I tend to steal some. I have been slacking lately in the food department :(
Has your weight loss slowed down at all? Very much so, I have lost 115 lbs so far, but am still 12 away from goal. BUT, if I didn't lose another pound I would not be angry (as long as I didn't GAIN!) ... I could kick it into maintenance & stay 170 forever!
How far from "goal" are you IF you have one? I am 12 pound away ... my goal is 160 lbs.
I really love that I had surgery ... I can do everything with my kids ... I go to the playground & go down the slide & swing with them. I can keep going ALL DAY LONG and not crave my bed! I really love that I got my life back. Somedays, though, I wish I could just eat & not think about what is going in my mouth & if that will "agree" with my pouch ... but then I remind myself, that is what got me to almost 300 lbs!

10 pounds loss pre-op
Hi there Ms Karen. I cant believe it has been 9 Mo. Where has the time gone. I have lost almost 80 pounds and am loving every pound gone. Just the last two Fills have been bothersome. I had to get one unfill and then, i did great on the first week of this last fill and now i am sliming something terrible. I dont want this to be the lifetime feeling. I am still losing, especially since i feel so tight. Just a couple bites and I am over flowing. It isnt with food it is the yuck coming up. That is the bigest mystery for me so far. I do feel I made the right decision to do the lapband....
I think im about 20-30 pounds from goal weight, but my first goal has been to weigh less than 200 pounds, and I am 1 pound away,,,!!!!! My vise that I eat that I know is such a no no is icecream. I do that on the weekends, Kinda of a weekend treat. I try to eat as good as possible during the week.
My Lunch almost every day is 1 piece of bread with Kroger brand Peanut butter w/honey in it,,,,,I love that but here lately im tossing most of it cause it just wont go down.
Have a blessed week,
Mary in Arkansas
