They ripped that bad boy out at the same time as my RNY. I don't know if its procedure or not for Lap Band. It was a good thing they did because I had 2 chronic issues and many stones that would've been a huge problem.
Hope it works out for you!

Topic: Public Committment
I posted this on my local board as well...I must stay committed.
Maybe someone would like to join me?!?!?!?
I'm writing this here because I need to publicly commit myself to my experiment for this week.
I've been in this huge stall and I'm going to try and break it.
Here is my plan:
Starting this morning until Friday night, I will only be eating the following things: Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, Cheese, Meat, Poultry, Pork, Fish, Deli Meat, Peanuts, Vegetables, Fruits, and Sugar Free Jello/Pudding/Popsicles.
I have to say no to Bread, Pasta, Goldfish, Chex Mix, Sugar Free Ice Cream & Desserts, etc.
I must go back to basics. I will work out on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I also have to go out to eat on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. That should be interesting!
I will try this and see if I lose any weight when I weigh in on Friday. I'm just really curious and I desperately want to break 210!
Thanks for all your support and I look forward to seeing 209 (HOPEFULLY) on Friday!
Happy Monday, All!

I took my time got ready and We took the kids to his mothers house. He kept looking at me and I said what? he said woo woo..Then said enough said? I laughed and said yes and thanked him because I was feeling a little nervous wearing what I had on. But he made me feel like I was the most attractive woman alive! we went to Chilies and I had the best food. Chicken fihitas with monera jack cheese, green and red peppers, oninons well done "like I like" and water.......We had so much fun!!!! No food to cut up for the little ones or sounding like a record eat you food, turn around, sit down.... It was so nice and guess what we were flurting with each other......... I felt like a school girl. I love my husband! I posted some pics of our night out in my photos in my profile. Enjoy!

Craigs List is like a local person's ebay, except its more like paper ads not auctions. If you go to Craigslist.com, you can find your local area. They have personals, for sale, free stuff, jobs, auto, etc...
It's pretty cool actually. I sold 9 pairs of jeans today!

1. What types of food did you eat this week?
London broil (found a microwavable precooked extremely delicious and moist one at Costco -26 grams of protein per 5 oz serving), Salmon stuffed with crabmeat, escarole with beans, tacos, pizza, cheese and crackers, cheese sticks, apples with peanut butter a banana daily.
2. What types of exercise did you do this week?
Went to the gym 3 times this week.
3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss?
I think about 2 lbs. Total loss -89lbs.
4. What was your biggest challenge?
Biggest challenge was watching my daughter eat a triple chocolate metldown today at apples and leaving more than half on her plate. (the old me would've shoveled it in my mouth in two scoops.)
5. How is your skin? Are you have any issues with it being too loose? Stretch marks? etc?
Yes, lots of stretchmarks and all over. Very unattractive hanging skin on my thighs and some on my inner calves.
*Fun bonus question:
You just won a 1000.00 shopping spree, where are you going to spend it? on what?
If I had the spare money, I'd buy more clothes....fitting into size 10's and it feels great.

I'm facing this in April....any helpful advice? Part of me wishes they just would have taken it out when I had my RNY! My hair just stopped falling out!

I don't know how you feel about selling your clothes but I just put mine on Craigs List for 5 dollars a piece and I've gotten 10 responses within 3 hours. I'm posting pics of them tomorrow and I think they are going to go like hot cakes! You can't turn down a 40 dollar pair of jeans for 5 bucks. My suits are worth 100's alone!
What I don't sell, I will donate. That always feels good. These have got to go, I've been hanging on to them for far too long!
