    how did you get ride of all the skin because you looke good!!!

  • skymoon1982 posted: 03 Sep at 6:42 pm

    Im a size 4 in just about any store. Of course, the jeans have to be stretchy. I dont wear anything that dosn’t stretch. Im a size 4 in like old navy, levi jeans, mudd jeans, etc. Sometimes our bodies are different at all different types of weight. I certainly dont look like im 150 lbs. I look way smaller than my weight.

    150 lbs and in a size 4 Where do you shop? I don’t fit in a size 4 until I’m 120 pounds or less!

    I struggle with the ‘being backed up’ too. I just found the Benefiber packets for water bottles. Love them! Really helps me.. I still take Miralax about once week though, just to be sure things are moving like they should. Great video listing the real nitty gritty of the Lapband. Maybe I’ll do one too since I’m also over a year out now. ~Jenn

    Awesome. Keep it up! You’re beautiful!

  • skymoon1982 posted: 03 Sep at 9:12 pm

    Im actually 5’6 and a size 4. I believe that everyones body is different no mater how tall and how much you weight you hold, you can be all different types of sizes in jeans. No restriction at 6cc’s? Wow, im also starting to notice that all of us bandsters are different w/ restriction level. Good luck w/ your journey chica, I’ll be keeping in touch.

  • skymoon1982 posted: 03 Sep at 9:57 pm

    I waited a week after surgery to start excercising. I started walking on the treadmil at 2.7 I believe and increased there after. Thank u for th comment!

  • imstillstrill posted: 04 Sep at 12:26 am

    Wow you must be tall! I remember weighing 135 and having to squeeze into a size 7 and I am 5’5. Thank you so much for this information. I am 6cc’s now and I still don’t have much restriction. Hopefully that will change. I still working out a lot and eating mostly protein, trying to stay away from a lot of carbs.

  • ladyjedi posted: 04 Sep at 1:19 am

    Thanks for sharing. How long did you wait to exercise post surgery? I bought a treadmill and am ready to start walking. You are so good of not cheating! That is amazing. You are the ultimate band patient! You are such an inspiration.

  • carrela1 posted: 04 Sep at 1:29 am

  • mizzttzbellalife posted: 04 Sep at 2:07 am

    you look amazing girlll so happy for u mamaz:)

  • bandedwendy posted: 04 Sep at 2:18 am

    You LOOK stunning in that long sweater with the belt. Very nice! I have always admired your honesty and willingness to share with us. Are there emotional issues with the intimacy? That is an important one, for sure when you live with a man. I turned it down this morning. I was not interested, wanted to get my day going and over. felt bad about it. You have done such a tremendous job taking care of yourself. Such an inspiration. Thank you! 1/4 cup is crazy. I am ok with 1 – 2 cups.

  • fatty2beauty posted: 04 Sep at 2:39 am

  • jerene2 posted: 04 Sep at 4:19 am

    Melanie, You are awesome and an inspiration! Thank you for all of your hard work and your devotion to and complete honesty with the WLS community on you tube. I relate to so much of the stuff that is tough to talk about- gas, bra size, sagging skin.. & it’s good to know I’m not alone. My best wishes.
