Well done GF! You should post a before/after side-by-side so we can see your current transformation.

I was banded around the same time as you (March 20th) but have only lost 25, due to my love of going out and having cocktails. However, that being said, I am thrilled with the 25 and know that I’m a third of the way there!

Keep inspiring!!!
Niki

Hi Lise,

I just stumbled across your site and enjoyed reading back a bit. All the pics of hubby and dogs are great too! I just got banded on 6/24 in Mexico (the very awesome and hot Dr. Ortiz). I lost 12 pounds pre-op and another 8 in the last 2 1/2 weeks since the band. Pretty good, but feeling anxious about whether it will really work for me…

It’s amazing to see how well you’ve done! From the one post where you listed a day’s meals it seems like you’re eating barely anything - looked like 500 calories or so - is that usual for you? Just curious. I don’t think I could deal with less than 1000…

Also - I would LOVE it if you could send me your weight tracker.

Hi there. I’m thinking about having the lap band surgery. I really want/need to lose weight and it seems this is looking like my only choice! I’m wondering with the fast weightloss, did you have problems with the excess skin. That is the only part that is scarring the bejesus out of me. Any information you are willing to offer on any topic related to the lap band I would definitely welcome and appreciate. Thank you!

Howdy Lise!

Wow…..you keep losing! Congrats to you. I just watched “The Batchelorette”….wondering if you know “Jason” that was on the show?

Won’t tell you who she picked in case you DVR’d it or something….but thought of you when they showed pics of your city.

I am banded at a 5 now and think that I finally have some control over my hunger. Haven’t lost as much as you did, but since April 16th, about 20-25 lbs. That’s not bad for less than 3 months. I am taking my time. Need to exercise more, I have been slacking….
Take care of you.

Robbie

Lise…I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your site! Congratulations on your wieght loss. I was banded on June 9, 2008 and am down 20 pounds I have one quick question—about how many calories do you consume a day?

lise,
i got some fantastic wrap dresses from athleta.com, great quality and washes well, little pricey but can go for a bunch of different sizes, I got the medium for 8-10 but figure I can use them too once I hit a 6, just tie them a little tighter. I’m off for fill 3 tomorrow and then on vacation to Canada for a week, hope your enjoying the summer and the island!!

WOW, Lise, you have really rocked your band and kicked butt! Almost 50 pounds in 3 1/2 months. I’m in awe. You rule!

Ms. Robbie — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:19:07 +0000

Lise,

So proud of you!

Went in today and got another fill. I am now at 5cc total.

I have not lost any weight for the past 3 -4 weeks. Was on the road for 2 weeks and my clients “wined and dined” me with ultra fine dinning….but all I gained was one pound…I would have gainned at least 10 or more before surgery. I am now focused and going to work out more. ( I did work out in the fitness rooms of the hotels I was in, but it is not the same as home!)

Thanks for giving me hope that I CAN do this. I feel like a have a secret weapon that will help me.

Just think, soon you will be in the 170’s….Wow!!!!

Robbie

I’m so excited I received my surgery date today, July 23, I can barely wait. I’m happy for you, well worth all your hard work. You have been such an inspiration. I was a little worried, but you have put all my fears to rest.

Thanks for sharing

Hey,

Congrats!! It feels great doesn’t it? To see things like the BMI changing so drastically :). I just got out of the morbidly obese…which feels awesome.

Congrats on all of your success!!

Comment on Lap-Band Question and Answer Time! by Tabitha L.

Tabitha L. — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:22:55 +0000

I was never much of an exercise person or breakfast person either. Everyday since I hate breakfast or i’m just too tight in the morning, I drink a slim-fast high protein shake. I ride my exercise bike every other day for at least 10 mins, take the dogs walking, etc my dr. told me just stay active and not sit around too much. I also found a pedometer at target for a 1.00 and I weat it everywhere I go to see how much I have gone for the day. I’m 6 months post op now and have lost 63 lbs. It’s great to have this tool called the lap band but you do have to utilize it. Losing weight is not going to happen on it’s own magically. You have to make an effort to change too is what I have realized since getting banded in dec. of 2007. . Now I try to drink 6-8 glasses water a day, take a centrum chewable multi-vitamin, and stay active. I feel great and have so much energy now

Hi,

I just found your site and i’m reading from the beginning. I’m just up to March 7, i’m so inspired by your blog that I now have no fears or doubts about my surgery. My insurance company just gave me the approval on June 26th the day after my 49th birthday. I’m very excited and can’t wait to get on with the process. I haven’t been given a date or contacted by my surgeon’s office. I’m going in next week for my cardiac consult because that’s the only thing I haven’t done yet. I didn’t want to go through that until I knew I was approved. It has been a very long process and my physician’s office staff is not very organized; however, I love my surgeon Dr. Marc Rickford. I’m rambling because I’m so excited and have so many thoughts going through my head. I’ll sign off know and read some for I’m really getting a lot from your blog. I read with pen and paper to make notes.

Thanks!! SLY of Capitol Heights, MD
