i just love hearing all of the positive changes for everyone!........ i am now wearing a pair of jeans that i couldn't wear for about a year! and i now realize that some of my jeans were TIGHT!..LMAO. cuz now they fit very comfortably..i used to were them with a long sweater, or a long shirt to hind just how tight they were about my middle..... but now, plenty of room ROBIN. i get that feeling too, that feeling that it won't work and i'm not going to lose anymore weight that i have... it's a strange feeling don't you think.. for me i have been stickin to the rules and doing everything they tell me. but i still can't shake that feeling

Hi guys, I've lost 40 lbs. I started loosing after my first appt with my surgeon. I have some little worn jeans that are way to big. I also had kept some jean that had shrunk in the dryer that I could no longer wear before so that is what I'm wearing now. So glad I didn't throw them away. I have rings that are big now and a necklace that I couldn't wear before because it was too short, I can wear it now. My shoe laces on my walking shoes are dragging on the ground. I love my RYN!!!!

Well, I have only lost 20 lbs so far...but I see that my clothes are a little baggy.

Also, check out the main lapband forum and the diet and nutrition forum for lots more information!

Hi! I am Joni and I had lap-band surgery on December 19, 2007 in Springdale, Arkansas. I have lost 21 pounds but I am still starving. I get my first fill next Tuesday. I went to a support meeting last Tuesday night and the doctor and nurse said I needed to be eating more instead of drinking liquid proteins. I have been having 2 SlimFast Low-Carb and then a skinless chicken breast for supper. How do your doctors deal with the first fill? Mine says he will put in 3cc and then I have to drink water and see if it stays down. If it goes down easily, then I think he might put in a little more. If it comes right back up or feels lodged, then he will take a little out.
