Weighed this morning as Saturday has always been my weigh day. I usually post Wednesday but it looks like most have moved to friday now So this week I am down 2.7 pounds for a total of 120.2 lost., I have 21.8 left to lose till the goal Dr Miranda set for me. She set 175 but I think I will go down to 154 that wAY by BMI will be normal and not still overweight. For once in my life I want to be called normal and not overweight. Can hardly wait. Plastic surgery date set for July 8th. Flights and hotel booked. I am soooooooooooooooo excited. I would have never quessed 6 months ago that I would be down this much. once again I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Calf. So sorry to hear that you had to go through this much hell. I hope it never happens again. It sounds dreadful Deb

Breakfast: 2 oranges Lunch: Latte Dinner: sweet and sour chicken orange 2 Tbsp peanut butter I have a terrible cold so no exercise today

I always weigh on Saturdays and post Wednesday. Maybe tomorrow I will come back to this post and tell you what I lost Debbie

Sorry to hear that you have not been well. I hope you and your husband feel better soon Deb

Welcome to onederland. It is am amazing feeling right !!!!

My plastic surgeon would not move the port lower. He said he did not want to touch someone elses work. At this point my port does not stick out so hopefully it is deep enough I won't have that problem Debbie

Thanks so much Carrie. That was very helpful and informative to read. I hate laying around so it was good to know that I am going to have to make myself slow down or it will be a problem for me. Once again thanks I really appreciate the details. Where did you buy that cream? I live in Canada so not sure if I can get it up here. Debbie

Thanks Carrie. How many days did it take before you were feeling pretty good? Also any regrets at all? Deb

You too Ashley Marie. I am completely satisfied with my eating program and it sure seems to be working for me. So did I read you are having plastic surgery in 2 weeks. What are you having done and where are you having it done. I want to hear everything I have an extended tummy tuck, lipo and a thigh lift scheduled for July 8th and can hardly wait. Deb

Ye haaaaaaaaaaaa. Welcome to onederland

Yes I am soooooooooooo excited. I booked my flight and hotel today. So 2 weeks before you could sleep on your bed. That is scarey because I will be staying in a hotel for a week before i return to Canada. Hope I will be able to sleep . I am glad that you are happy with the results. I talked to Dr Nyte and he does not use pain pumps. He uses Tumescents when he does surgery. What that means is when he does the lipo he injects epinephrine and lidocaine so for the first few days while it is seaping out you are pretty much frozen. I like the idea of that How many days were your drains in before they removed them? I can't fly home until they are gone so I am curious. Doctor said 5-7 days is normal. How long were yours in? 2 weeks out what would you say your pain is out of 10. Did you notice that the pain go a little less every day? What laxative did you take to help with constipation while on the nargets? Okay thats enough questions for now. I look forward to hearing from you Debbie

Thanks everyone. I am soooooooooooooo happy

You will love that Tomatoe Pie Girl !! As for exercise the more weight I lose the m ore addicted I get to it. I would have never thought in a million years that one day I would be looking forward to exercising but I honestly do. My body feels so much better and so does my mind. Tomorrow I will be doing a 2 hour mountain hike with my daughter and can hardly wait

Happy Birthday Angie. Hope it was a good one!!!!!!!!!!! Carrie you look so good. Your face is getting so thin. How is the post op period going. Is the pain gone ? How is the tummy looking? Debbie

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that as of today March 27th I am in WONDERLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not been here since I was a teenager. What an exhilerating feeling. Only 24 more pounds and I will be at the goal weight Dr Miranda gave me. It is hard to believe that I was banded on September 29th, 2009 and my entire life has changed in 6 months. All I can say is Thank you Dr Ortiz and staff. And thank you to everyone on this forum who has answered my questions, supported and encouraged me through this process . You all Rock ! Debbie
