Alana Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 After much battling and gaining an extra 3 lbs, I have finally shed the 3 plus 5 extra. Thanks to the support from everyone here. Only 15 more to go by May 9th!!
Jacklynrae Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 That is so exciting! I know the pre-op diet is brutal. I had also gained almost 10 lbs before going on pre-op thanks to an amazing all inclusive vacation! I wasn't able to lose everything but yet I started too late! You seem like you are starting in great time and already making progress! Good Job!! Keep up the good work! God Bless, Jacklyn
Alana Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks, Jackyln - I was going through a bunch of stressful issues when I first started and it totally worked against my diet. Thankfully I'm back on track!
MamaMichelle Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks, Jackyln - I was going through a bunch of stressful issues when I first started and it totally worked against my diet. Thankfully I'm back on track! That's one of the wonderful things about the band, even when you feel stressed and still want to turn to food the band will be your safety net to prevent you from over eating and messing up your progress!!
Paula Bee Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Good for you. Keep doing what you are doing, and it will be here before you know.

Now that'a miracle, isn't it!!! There are so many amazing reasons for all us to do this for ourselves! Even if you wanted to eat a whole quart of chocolate ice cream on a rough day, you can't!! LOL!! Cathy

Cathy Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllll- That's not entirely true Cathy... Ice Cream is one of those foods that the band isn't created to restrict. It's called "eating around the band" since Ice Cream becomes a liquid when melted it will slip past the band with no issues!!
2fat4me Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 that's great, and when you get here i think you will like dr mirandas scales, i am here now and am offically post op her scales said i have lost 4 more # for a total of 15, pre op.

Thank you I glanced down at them the other day an noticed the tops of them are getting very toned, of course like all women when I lift them up I have the dreaded bat-wing jiggle going on...lol Knowing me that's the LAST place I'll lose any fat...
