I WEIGH LESS THAN MY HUBBY!! I've always weighed more than him. Today I did my weekly weigh in and my hubby told me that I weigh a pound less than him. FIRST TIME EVER!! Darn this feels goods!!! Off to spinning class I go! We can do this!!!

I am down 110lbs since my August 2010 surgery. Dammmm it hard to lose the weight. I did it and I am ohhhh so proud of myself. Now on to bigger and better this. Maintanance day 1 here I come.

Went to the doctor today. Sick as a dog (not due to lapband)...Anyway I got on the scale and realized I am now 162lbs, a total of 90 lbs lost since surgery 2/8/11!

Living in a 2 story has it's perks for kids - for example, they run around upstairs and have pretty much gotten use to US parents yelling orders to them which they never obey. Sometimes I've been met with challenges such as a child shouting back and running up the stairs knowing that I will not be behind them. Well not anymore. At 20 lbs lighter - I shocked the heck out of my 4 year old when I told him to go brush his teeth. He proceeded to run up the stairs shouting "NO MONNA, YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH". The look on his face was priceless when he got to the top stair, turned around and was face to face with MOMMA. LOL His tune changed quickly. Needless to say I was sweating and possibly on the verge of passing out but I managed to insight fear where there use to be none. Team MOM 1 Kids O. (LOL)

I had my first fill on the 12th also. I had to lower my calories to 800 to lose any.The scale hasnt moved much but I can tell that I have lost inches. I am told that my body is losing the fat and gaining the muscle from the excersize, muscle weighs more than fat and thats why no decrease in scale. I walk 3 miles every day with hills and 5 miles on sat and sun. I know how it affects your motivation, so Im right there with ya! maybe try to drop the calories down to 900 and see if that helps. I know if I eat 1000 I cant lose. Good luck!

The surgeon told me that I don't look like what I weigh. Guess that can be a good and bad thing cuz looks can definitely be deceiving. Either way...he explained the whole process...then I scheduled my first nutritionist appointment. Next up sleep study! I have never had an issue with my sleep...so I'm not sure what the results will be. Just hoping that this will aid in my insurance approval... *keeping fingers crossed*

I lost 20 so far I was banded Dec 27th 2011

Yes...I just had a 1/2 cup of yogurt for breakfast and I am full.

they work great. I have many that I wear its a must with all the loose skin lol.

I am right there with ya, I have told the truth, once someone notices and ask how, I tell them. Most of the time I get positive responses, and for those who give me grief...WELL.....POO on them, I did this for me and my health. All of my family and friends have been very supportive. I have no secrets. Good Luck to everyone
