  1. So, I spent an hour going through and weeding out the clothes that are too big for me. But what became apparent is during this process I have lost my butt.

      I found that on the forum, it is when the scale does not hit the 200 mark. :-) no matter how minutely below it.

      congrats! onderland is a milestone that is so rewarding! good for you and keep it up

      the forum helps greatly, it is so nice to have somewhere to turn to when you have questions or want to yell WOW. Non bandsters have a hard time understanding the WOWs sometimes.

  3. Just spoke to Dr So at the OCC and we determined that I still am not in need of my first fill. I think I was going to use it as an excuse to not make myself behave. Glad I talked to him.

      ok I just sent you an email from your profile page. I'm dying how you decided to wait till now also.

    3. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      I waited till now as i have been losing ~2 lbs a week or more since being banded. In the last week or so, I feel I could eat more but am learning to "eat just till satisfied not to full" (quote from Dr. So

    4. Lapband92410

      Lapband92410

      Oh oh! I wonder if I should have waited. I am still loosing but desperately hungry all the time. I eat about a third of what I used to eat and I am not even close to satisfied. Just afraid to overeat cause I don't know how the band will punish me.

  4. Only .5 lb to get to the 170's. Hoping it "arrives" this weekend.

      I am in on the mini goals. Had a chemical peel yesterday and am scheduled for laser treatment in 2 weeks. It is surreal to me to have non food goals for the first time in my life.

  5. Tried on more of my "small" clothes to find I have missed a few sizes. Had two people today tell me that they thought I had lost enough, I guess that is good but I am still wanting to go lower.

      Great job. I just have a question. The people who told you that you had lost enough, were they men or women?When I lost 65 pounds years ago, the men chimed in and said OK it's enough and the women said OK, maybe 10 more pounds. It's interesting on the gender difference.

    4. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      They were primarily women, this happened once before when got at the low end of weight, I actually knock it up to their insecurities.

  6. Made it into the 170's. Just made it mind you but I AM THERE. Thank you Dr. O, staff and fellow bandsters. My success is largely due to all of you.

      WOW is right! Congrats!!!! Hard work pays off :)

  9. Had a consult with a licensed medical aesthetic practitioner this morning. I am going to follow up on her suggestions for reducing the effects of my weight loss from my face. First appt will be for a light chemical peel with extractions. Cross your fingers

    1. SusieO

      SusieO

      Good luck, and fingers Crossed.

      How exciting. Let us know how it goes.

      I've had great results with chemical peels - specifically TCA.

  10. Well, last nite and today I have had to fight mind hunger for the first time. It has almost been a month from banding so I figure that that is not so bad. But boy, do I want to scarf. Have walked my dog 3 times today instead :-)

    1. shmee

      shmee

      how's it going, when were you banded? I get banded on 27 and am on preop diet and I want to scarf too. You sound like you are doing great.

    2. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      Got over my mind hunger, thanks. I was banded on 8/3/10 and today I am celebrating arrival into onderland. I feel wonderful and am soooo pleased. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

  11. Booked my first fill. Will be going to the NW fill center in Marysville WA on 9/30. More nervouse about this than I was about the surgery. What is up with that???

    1. skinnyagain

      skinnyagain

      oh its quick...I use them too. Yes you want lidocaine prior to your fill!

    2. gogirlred

      gogirlred

      How did the first fill go?

  12. One of the things I find most interesting since being banded is that I am ultimately making better food choices. That is not to say I don't occasionally have the "bad" food but if and when I do it is in extremely small quantities and then it is over. My mind has finally synced up with my desires and body to become who I am meant to be.

    1. petrafarmer

      petrafarmer

      I totally agree. I had my bad moment yesterday with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich on potato bread! I'm over it now and I want to do well. It's important to know that an occasional stry is OK, we're not dead, we're simply on a mission!

    2. petrafarmer

      petrafarmer

      oops! stray, people are probably wondering"What is a stry and how do you eat it?"LOL

  13. I'm starting to "cheat" and not happy about it. Need to refocus

    1. Lapband92410

      Lapband92410

      You can do it! It's not easy but hang in there. Jump back on the wagon. :-)

    2. shmee

      shmee

      you can do it Em! I'm not far behind you. inadvertently cheated last night.

  14. It is very sad when the one that should be most supportive of you decides to choose another route and it does not match the one you are on.

    1. AshleyMarie

      AshleyMarie

      I am a bit confused by what you mean by this but if the one you depend on most to support you cannot, you are better off without them.

    2. canuk98828

      it is the leaving that is difficult. Separtating is always trying, even if we know it is for the best.

  15. My stand to convert my bicycle to a stationary bike for the winter arrived today. Now I get to exercise by cleaning/organizing moving the garage around, then I can ride.

    1. Lapband92410

      Lapband92410

      That's an awesome idea!!! I was wondering what I was going to do without my bike for the winter. Which one did you get?

    2. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      I went on line and found Schwinn Mag trainer. It seems to be less invasive to my bike's workings as it uses magnetic force. Spending the weekend storing my summer garage stuff and bringing out the winter garage stuff and will make room for my "exercise area' and start up on Monday

  16. seem stuck at 178. little frustrating but overall still happy. Know I need to kick up the exercising, just haven't got there yet.

    1. damalove

      damalove

      i hear that. im stuck at 175...bleh... the holidays dont help tho! last week was off the rails but got serious abt eating right again :)

      erica n i were thinking jan 15th can be our next minigoal date. im shooting for 168, care to join us n set a minigoal for that date?

    2. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      would love to join you. I will shoot for 172. Should be doable even with the holidays. I want to say lower but don't want to set my self up for disappointment. thanks for offering

  17. Went clothes shopping today. Bought my first junior 7/8 what a thrill. Had a great clerk that put together tons of stupendous outfits, now I need somewhere to where them. Highly recommend Silver jeans.

    1. AshleyMarie

      AshleyMarie

      I bet you look AMAZING!!

    2. canuk98828

      canuk98828

      thank you. I truly felt amazing. I will now be willing to actually post a pic of me, not only on here but on my FB as well. I have been reticient to do it until I felt picture appropriate :-)

  18. with the fall weather descending upon us, I made the decision to buy a stand to convert my bike into a stationary bike to be able to ride all winter. Can't beleive this is me thinking forward about exercising in the inclement weather, it use to just be a great excuse not to have to do any exercise.

  19. Chemical peel went fabulous. Two weeks till Laser treatment. Total day of pampering accomplished - hair, nails, peel. Can't remember when I treated myself so well.

    1. Angela79

      Angela79

      Kudos to you on pampering yourself, you deserve it!

  20. Have chosen to do 2 days of liquid diet to refresh my senses on what I am trying to accomplish.

    1. dewrob

      dewrob

      you look amazing, i am so proud of you. i have 30 more pounds to go.

  21. First day on solids. Had Shelly's Ham & Cheese Breakfast bites and LOVED THEM. Great way to start eating.

  22. Cannot beleive how much more energy I have. I am having the time of my life.

  23. Well after a 4 day stint of pushing my limits, I got back on track 2 days ago and low and behold lost another 2 lbs. Thank you for PBing, it brought me back to reality

  24. Need to kick up my exercise. thus Zumba starting tomorrow.

  25. Although I weigh more, I am now wearing the same size clothes I wore in school. What a rush.
