I worked out Sun, Tues, and can't wait till tonight.

I went to Dr. French at Southern Surgical in NO.

The 23rd is going to be a year, I for sure thought I would have gotten to my goal by now but I am just starting to exercise. I am happy with what I lost, without the help of the band I would still be misrable. The most weight I ever loss on my own was 18 lbs and would gain double everytime.

Give it time! You have to get to that right fill.

Went out Sunday and bought me a work bench with weights. I am feeling it today. Plan on doing this 3 times a week, maybe more. I love it.

Didn't get to do anything since Monday but I am off the 3 days.

Hi Redgirl, I am from Raceland. Give it time I just reached my sweet point last month. Weight loss has slowed down but I am getting closer to goal. How many fills have you had. I think I had about 9.

Well I am trying to shoot for 3x's a week. Mon, Wed ,and Fri. If I can do this, it is better than none. On the days I am off I am fine. When I work I work a 12 hour shift and have a 7 year old, so it makes thing really hard if you know what mean.

I have had some hair loss, but not noticable to anyone. I see it when I wash my hair. Its almost a year since surgery and I can see the new growth coming up. On dry cold days it sticks staight up on my head, so I know its growing back. I have really thick hair. It is starting to slack off. I proberly don't get as much protein as I should. If you have have thin hair I would recommend making sure you have the recommending amount of protein. My mom has really thin hair and she didn't do to bad with hers but she uses some shampoo called Nixion, something like that.

Well I hit the Gazelle for 23 min. My legs are hurting this morning...lol.

So glad to hear from a few of you. I think January is the best month to be banded in, after all the Holidays are over. I was bad and ate a lot of sweets, now I have to get back on track. I never really started exercising but I will be starting tomorrow. Good Luck to everyone this month on their new best friend.

Where is everyone? How are you all doing?

I am boarding your train! I have about 20lbs to go. I will take my measurments tonight or in the morning. I have to tone these legs up so I can wear shorts this summer...lol. I too have knee problems, I think it is time to see a Dr about it. My right knee grinds so much when I do squats, the person on the side of me can hear it. Its like bone rubbing on bone. It's gross!

Ok Guys, I am jumping on your train. I need to start the New Year off right! I have like 20lbs to go and it is the hardest for me. I also need to get my legs in better shape.

I too have been feeling really tired. I don't think I am getting enough protein and I was eating a lot of sweets for the holidays. I think thats what got me lazy. My TOM also has been starting a week earlier every month since I have lost weight. I think it may have something to do with that. I am going to my OBGYN in 2 weeks so I will see what she says and let you know what I fine out.

That is great! I need to start exercising too. I work shift work and it is so hard to stay on track, it is impossiable. Well glad you had a great Christmas. Stay in touch. We will have a skinny New Year...lol.

One week post-op. 11 months post. Excuse my silly face! I'm on the right. Couldn't get them a little bigger.

How is everyone in the Houma area doing? I think I had something lodged in my band last night. I thought I was going to die. That was a horriable feeling, it took about 3 hours to release. Christmas was kind of hard, I ate a lot of sweets and food hight in sodium, so I am trying to get back on track. It will be a year on the 23rd of this month. Hope everyone is doing great.

Thanks sunshine for letting me know about this tread. So is everyone ready for our FIRST band anniversary???????

Is everyone ready for their Anniversary Day?

Talking about clothes, I had a fat day today. I guess I was just bloated for some reason today. I had a christmas party at work and everthing I put on made me feel so fat. It was all clothes that I have worn in the past 2 weeks but for some reason I just felt so fat today. I must have changed shirts 10 times. What makes us feel that way????

Thats What I am Talking About!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to all of you who quit. I quit for like 6 weeks when I had surgery and started back. I know I can quit if I want too but I just feel I am not ready. I am planning and going to try and make up my mind for my New Years Resolution being I can't say it will be to lose weight.

I told my 7yr old and sometimes she acts like she has the band.

I agree with you!
