karenlynn79 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 First pic was a while ago, but I had a baby between now and then! Haven't seen much scale movement in the past 3 weeks, but trying to stay motivated!! Here is today: This is about 24 lbs difference I think Possible TMI question: Anyone else going on BC pills and having trouble losing? Since I went back on BC (tried Mirena IUD awful!!!) I have been miserable! Talking to hubby about possible vasectomy...... Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karenlynn79 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks everyone! I didn't think I'd look that different so I have been avoiding taking a new pic! I had my surgery in Sept '06. BUT I didn't get fills until 6 months post op (Last March) and then in June got unfilled because we were trying to have a baby, and did. So I got re-filled April 17th this year. I was hoping to lose more at this point, but with all the hormonal changes from having a baby and adding birth control pills again, I think that's what is slowing me down (I hope!) because my fill level is great and I am really happy with the band.

MamaMichelle Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I had to make the pics bigger so I could see them side by side... I can totally tell a difference, you look longer and leaner and it really shows in your face, keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenlynn79 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks Michelle!! I finally lost 3 more pounds after a 3 week plateau so I am happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Congrats sweetie, I hit a 2-3 week plateau after my 1st fill and luckily I've been steadily losing 1-2 lbs per week (about 7-8lbs a month) since then... Keep it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpel Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 You're doing great, and look GREAT, too!! I'm going to have to post a pic of before and after, too. I'm actually getting some mommy out time tonite - I'll even manage to get some lip gloss on! I'll post later tonite a before and after. I have not really noticed much difference, so it will be interesting to see it myself. I also hit a HUGE plateau - for about 5 weeks or so I didn't loose anything. I just got back from TJ/OCC and had the check me out, get a little fill and even got my teeth Zoomed! Stay tuned to see the difference! I'm excited! Peace, Maggie UPDATE: how sad it is that i've been looking for a 'before' pciture of myself, and can't find a good one. i never realized how much i stayed out of the pictures, even with my kids - it's mostly all my husband. i dont think it ever occured to me to take a picture before my surgery. i'm going to find the best one i can. then tonite i'm goign to take a body shot and work off that one to use for my furture weight loss.

Phoenix Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 There's a big difference! Even your hands are smaller Keep up the good work. Vasectomies are the BEST form of birth control! But if he's not ready and the IUD didn't do it for you, maybe a nuva ring would?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpel Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 OK, I've not uploaded pictures - so here goes. The one of my family was in December - I had Sugery in Feb. The other is from this afternoon - took it in the yard. I know it's only face, but I can't seem to get a body shot - I will get one while out tonite. OK - I dont know how to add pics - can someone help me? I want to add them off my computer. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banded4life Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Do some research on Encare Birth Control. This is what I use and love it. I had been on the Depro shot for years. Then one day a doctor said that it can deminish your bone density, so I stopped getting the shots. I have been using the Encare every since then. Check it out! The link below is for drugstore.com. If you click on it, you can see what Encare looks like. http://www.drugstore.com/qxp12658_333181_s...ive_inserts.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenlynn79 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks everyone again! I've lost at least another 8 or 10 lbs since that pic. Banded4life I can't see that Encare link but I'll look into it. My Dr. actually refused to give me depo after I'd been on it for 4 years due to the bone loss! Scary.
