Topic: RE: 8th mnth check in :(
Di,
My weight loss has slowed down also. Although this past week I lost 4 lbs. That's usually what I lose a month. I'm 9 pounds from my surgeons goal 19 from mine and the skin issues are horrible. I swear to you the next person that tells me I can't lose another 19 lbs I am going to take off my clothes including the one piece spandex torture garment I wear to hide alot of my leftover fat and skin and show them exactly where I can lose 19 lbs. While I'm thrilled to be 149 and purchase small pants and a medium shirt yesterday I want a flat tummy with no apron. I want perky "girls" that don't go flat when I lay on my back. I also want thighs that look like Britney Spears but I'm willing to give up on that dream. hahahaha. Let's hear from all other August post ops on how you're doing!!!

I am too having issues with my skin. People are saying "you look so great!" then I say, "you don't want to see me naked!" The other day, I was bending over and caught a glimpse of my belly. I just cried. It was so awful. Can't wait for the TT and thigh lift. That's all I'll need. But you've done great!!! Everyone has a bad month or week. I had a week when I lost nothing, then lost 5 lbs. the following week. I lose about 2-4 lbs. a week on average. I need to start using FitDay again too. Sounds like it's helpful to you.
Topic: 8th mnth check in :(
Wow what a mnth... My wt has changed alot. First I went up 6lbs for two weeks 
then down 9lbs in the next week and half now back up a pound which makes me at a loss of two pounds for this mnth . I have found myself eating alot more. Carbs have been a biggie. On Fitday I average 1045 cals 47g fat 59g carbs and 57g protein. Somedays I eat more and some less. I have had days that I got in 1600 cals I have only lost a total of 2 inches this mnth. I hope Im not stopping. I would be ok If I did..but not as happy as I would be If I could lose another 10 or so pounds. By looking at myself...with out clothing on I would guess that I should lose another 20 lbs...But I never wanted to be that small...I guess With the skin issue...I look alot different. Boy going up looks alot different that going down !!
So is ANYONE else out in OH having issues like me ??? I feel blue today
Sorry

Topic: RE: How am I doing??
Glad to know I do not feel alone, I find myself on the message boards questioning if what I am doing is right. I am down 87-88 pounds and my surgery was on 08-19-03. I just think we all have our own pace!

Hi Connie,
I had LapBand surgery 8/22/03 and am just down about 80-85 pounds (totally depending on whose scale I'm on). It will happen for you! With some of us, it just takes time.

Topic: 8 Months Post Op
I'm 8 months post-op today and so far my Journey has been awesome. I'm down 86# and wearing size 12 jeans. Never did I ever expect to fit into these again. I don't snore anymore (well maybe a little snort here and there, hehe). My BP is normal with no meds. My arthritis has stopped hurting and I have tons of energy. I'm painting the outside of my house and it's looking better every weekend. I never would have attempted to paint it 8 months ago. My life has changed for the better 1000 %

I had surgery 080403 I was 235 to start and currently 150 so I've lost 85 lbs. Just saw a post from another August who's lost 130+ lbs. Her surgery was distal and mine was proximal so that makes a difference. It's very frustrating but you'll get there. I want to lose 20 more and I 'll have confidence I'll get there by my year mark.
