Good evening, loved your video... I am three weeks today post-op. I am going to mentally note "stop when you had enough". I find myself thinking I have to finish the little bit of food i serve myself, find myself stoping for a bit and continuing. Thinking that I am not eating enough. Thanks for all advice.

God Bless!

Great video Tamika! Was so needing to hear this. 2 months and 2 days until my lapband surgery! I'm so ready for this, as much as a person can be I guess? Seeing just how hard it is at my age to lose these pre-op pounds, makes me even more confident in my choice to get this amazing tool to help with my WL journey. Setting small goals one at a time is really helping me. <3 Angela

Congrats on the weight loss and I love that you are going with what your body wants and listening to the doctor's rules for eating/water/exercise/protein. I love that you named your band, I will definitely have to do so when I am banded on Jul.25. Thanks for all your videos you have been a great inspiration and helped me decide to get banded myself. On day 3 of pre-op diet here & kickin!

U look amazing with results.. also considering lap-band. Today I'm going to free seminar and was also wondering if u have loose skin??

[curlideva]

[geniiw]

Hello, im 2 weeks out from my lap band surgery and I wanted to know if you have any extra skin?

[traciesvision]

Thank you so much for all your great videos! You always have such great advice!

[SunnyRain247]

I always love your videos. You remind me of the "stuff" we learn and forget and need to constantly remind ourselves of - like just stop when you are full. Sometimes I will say - "but I've only eaten half a cup", blah blah blah, and then I will go back later and eat again. But I have to remember to say say, when I'm full, it's DONE for that meal. Also the water - cant reinforce enough how important that is. Thank You. BTW - You look so pretty - I'm sure you're loving your IPad. :)

[BanditStephanie]

You said my key word, consistency! Find what works and go with it! So good to see you and you are so inspirational.

You are simply gorgeous. I think the iPad videos are easy! Glad to be following you.

[ladyjedi]

Wow you look amazing. Congrats! That is amazing. So proud of you and happy for you. I have been stuck at 200 forever! I know it is me and not the band. I am doing badly with protein and water, but I am not hungry! You look amazing!

[ANuMe1109]

@ladyjedi I struggle with water too but have found that it's absolutely one of those special keys to unlocking success on this ride - so glad to see you :)) I miss your videos! And you won't be stuck forever - big hugs :))

I really like your videos..I had my surgery June 23,2011 and I am very happy with my results so far.. I do find myself getting frustrated with myself..I keep telling myself this takes time..I love your daily meals videos..give me alot of ideas when I get to that stage where I can eat normal food..I went to trader Joes to try and get peanut powder but didnt see it..I am going to see if I can order it off line..Thanks again for the videos

[ANuMe1109]

@at0ksd Congrats on being banded and you are welcome, glad my vids can be of some help to you :)

[candj1977]

Great Video Tamika! I am totally getting to the place where I do not eat emotionally and food is just fuel to get me through life and longer fun! Your success is amazing!

[ANuMe1109]

@candj1977 Doesn't it feel good not to have food matter that much :)

[bandedwendy]
