      YOU look AMAZING!!! Dr Campos does great work. I'd love to be able to have him work on me one day:) I wish he wasn't so far away from here.

      that is so awesome. Congratz doll!

  5. I know! I cannot believe it has been two years. I am so happy that I was banded. I could not be more ecstatic! I surpassed the goal weight that Dr. Miranda set for me and I may want to lose another 5 or 10 pounds, but I am very content on where I am at. I wish I had someone like you to kick my ash so I could have an amazing body like you :).

  6. purchased a size 5 of jeggings!!!

  7. Welcome to the forum :)

  8. Just wanted to stop by and give you some words of encouragement. We have all struggled with our weight and I know we expect it to come off so quickly after surgery but it takes time. When I first started I lost on average 10lbs a month for the first four months. It will come off. Please just give it time.

  9. On my first cleanse of 2011. Wish me luck!

      I work for a famous life coach, Tony Robbins. Our company sells his own personal cleanse. It consists of raw foods-veggies, some fruit, water, green drink and supplements.

      Ashley, can you PM me the link to the product? I am looking at a Naturopathic cleanse, but would like to see some options. Thanks!

      I want to do a cleanse too.. I'd was looking at the Master Cleanse but, that seems like torture. I want to know how it went. Keep us updated.

  10. Thank you sweetie. I will reach my 2 year bandiversary in March. I hit Dr. Miranda's goal a little while ago but am aiming to lose 10 to 20 more.

  11. Loves that the scale is still on her side.

      Hey girl I had the lapband in March 2010 and lost 70lbs and I'm at 150 and really wanting to go see Dr.Campos late Jan or early Feb and I've sent an email for a quote for upper/lower back, upper/lower ab/waist, arms and possibly thighs and mf grafting to the booty ;)...but I'm soooo anxious...I didn't see where you posted how much you paid for what you had done with him? Do you mind to share?

      you look awesome. great work

  12. I had mine checked too and the Dr. told me not to worry. I also think that I notice it is there more so when I atcually thinka bout having a band. I am sure you are fine. I worry about a lot of things and am lucky I am so close to the OCC.

  13. I still have a problem with my body image, but I must realize pictures do not lie.

      I take a Gummy Multi Vitamin, but I feel I have some kind of deficiency. I am going to try adding Calcium and Iron. Thanks everyone.

      Honestly i am just going through this and they are a little more expensive but look into an all natural vitamin from a health store. They have the extra vitamin bd, and omegs 3 that a person needs. i couldnt believe the difference a vitamin change made

    4. EcMjawad1

      EcMjawad1

      powder vitamins to mix in water..like emergen C. I keep them in my pocket to help me not forget!

  15. has to concentrate on better eating. I have been only eating about 400-500 calories a day and no water. No wonder why I have been so weak...

      EricaG

      oh no...bad girl!! (i should talk, I haven't been doing great with my H20)

      it is hard, but we need to hydrate and consume enough calories. It keeps me busy all day (or so it seems) if I am not eating I am waiting for the time to pass so I can start drinking again to be able to get enough liquids in. Somehow however, it is absolutely not the worse problem to have considering the benefit

  16. put on size 7 jeans this morning!!

      congratz ash!! so happy for ya!

      wow, even at my skinniest in jr high I never wore a size 7, that rocks.

  17. Just keep positive thoughts and you will be where you want to be. I am so proud of your determination. You have come so far from your pre-op days. Just look back and think about all of the changes you have gone through. Not everyone can be so strong.

  18. was not able to get another fill. Dr. Acosta says I have lost what I can with the band and must rely on exercise. I need to push myself and come up with a new routine.

    1. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      Wow, that is the first I have heard of being as low as you can get by being banded. Can I ask how much u lost, I can tell by the pics it has been quite a bit, (you look awesome).

    2. AshleyMarie

      I will be the first to admit it, but I lost 80 lbs with very little exercise. I hate exercising but I know it is something I am going to have to dedicate myself to for the rest of my life. The Dr. said that I do not need to lose anymore weight because I have already hit Dr. Miranda's goal weight but if I do I need to do it with exercise. I guess 2.2 cc's is where my happy place is.

      Try "Zumba" it a great workout !

  19. Before your first fill, you need to fast two hours prior to your appointment. They will most likely have you go on a liquid diet for a few days. They did they for my first two fills.

  20. You will be there in no time! Honestly, give it a year and your body will change sooo much! I was looking at your ticker and am impressed at how far you have come already. You are doing amazing!

  21. size 6 here I come. Soooo ready for my fill tomorrow!!

  22. wants to lose one more dress size. Hoping I get there with this next fill. Size 6 here I come!!

  23. Is going for her fill this Saturday(crossing my fingers that nothing gets in the way this time. I have had to schedule this 3 times already).

  24. bought a size 8 dress for the funeral. At least I smiled today :).
