I had the lap-band sugery at 422lbs so I do not see why you can't! But trust when I say this, the surgery is not some instant weightloss magical evolution. Actually its almost as hard as not having it. But it is a good tool if you can follow it, but its just a tool, unlike the bypass, you still can cheat (i have done it)…

But is there a possibility you might drink too much water? I am doing two 34 oz of water tonight.

I have been staying under 2000 calories a day but now I want to stay under 1200 calories. Plus I need to make sure I get enough water. Atleast 62 oz of water a day and get off the diet coke! I realized that diet drinks make you crave sweets and your hunger goes up. And I mistake thirst for hunger. Oh, and by the way, I'm…

Don't be down babe, Things happen all the time, Its what we do to make changes to accommodate the situation. Try Less calories and more protien and try working you upper body until you feel better!

Honey, I am right there with you. I was so down on myself thinking "whats the use"? Ya know? Because I thought there were no changes in the way I look because I had not weighed/measured myself in a few months. But yesterday I got out the measuring tape and seen that I had infact lost inches, A lot of inches! So I became…

Thank you so much! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

Oh my goodness, I weighed myself just a bit ago and guess what?????????????????? I went from 375lbs to........................ 341LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!

Measurements are in! Starting Measurements Neck- 16 1/2 in Under Bust- 48 in Waste- 52 in Hips- 58 in Forearm- 11 1/2 in Calf- 20 in Thigh- 27 1/2 in Over Bust- 47 in

It is totally ok to say what you feel. I binge eat aswell and if you look back in this thread you will see where I posted and was down about it but I took the next day as a new day, I want to be healthy more than I want food. Please let us know how you are doing.

And we all stand beside you at the battle front and I commend you for taking the first steps! Let your path be happy and may your skinny jeans fit! Much love and welcome!

I checked here in Asheville NC and we have Optifast program at the hospital, is this it?

what kind of diet do you use? and CONGRAT'S ON THE PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO! I am so…

I like sugar free low calorie pudding cups! and cabbage or vegetable soup, home made of course! use veggie stock instead of butter! Also in your organic store try LARA Bars, they are whole all natural compressed fruit and nuts, unprocessed. Also tofu is really good!

YAY! You go girl! I am so happy for you and I know you can do it! Remember to measure yourself and post!

THANKS FOR JUMPING ABOARD! I totally understand what you are saying, each of us has a goal in mind and I think we can do it! I am happy with whatever I loose I just want to have something to work hard to!

O.K PEOPLE! I have devised a mini goal plan! I think we should set a mini goal for ourselves to accomplish by 10/31/2008! Yes, that's right, Halloween. My goal is 75lbs. I am going to finally weigh myself tonight and measure myself and post stats and I want all of you to measure too because sometimes you do not loose…

I love having a place to roam and share, it's like having a team and we are all routing for each other! Please feel free to share your stories and your trials and even your inner being! Love and light!

That sounds awesome! I did quite good yesterday. I went to Walmart and I have a few hundred bucks to spend and in the candy Isle I only got one small pack of sugar free dove chocolates and I only had one serving of 5 pieces which is 200 cal. I put them in my car so they wouldnt be in my face and while buying food my…

That's totally how I am, I have small stuff during the day, like sugar free caramel pudding cup that has only 45 calories and then for dinner I do a soup like Campbell chunky or something. Its just hard to eat in the morning due to my lap band being swollen.

CONGRAT'S TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! Keep it up!

This week has been good. I actually need to get to my apartment today and weigh myself so I can post on the ticker! My back has been killing me from work! Last night I couldnt hardly walk when I got home,My hip was like "hey christy I'm not used to having you stand on me alot!" . Today I'm going to cut down on my smoking…

I am feeling good. I am back on track and yesterday I was at work and while walking by a mirror I noticed I could see my shoulder/collar bones!!! I was so excited! But its like my top is getting smaller but my gut/bottom is staying the same where I look like a giant pear!

OMG! I just put on a mens 3x/4x tee shirt and it fit! before I was a 7x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

I'M doing so much better today everyone! Back on track! I feel so much better than last night. I also figured out alot of it was I FORGOT to take my antidepressants! Oh man, Ha, So today I'm going to be working on moving stuff around in my new apartment and so we can move in, get all the crap put away, finally! Also I…

yeah, even after adding it all up I still have 500 more calories extra but I'm not eating anything else!:sad:

I need to make a confession. I had a rough day of binge eating and I feel disgusted. I ate for lunch one can of clam chowder, 11 Doritos,and one string cheese, but for dinner I binged worse by eating 2 cans of clam chowder, 6 chocolate chip cookies and oyster crackers and I so want to vomit. I do not know why I did it, I…

Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I quit smoking when I was 20 and started back this year after going through an almost divorce before we reconciled. I so need to quit again!
