I am 78 lbs lighter and still can't do the treadmill..however, I can do 60 minutes of water aerobics. it is easier on the joints and the brain. Good Luck

You are awesome! Good luck in your new journey!

these are GREAT...I probably won't get things like that..unfortunately at 55, my skin is going to show my age more, the more weight I lose.

I saw my doctor after a week and he told me I could increase my schedule. I still haven't had a fill. Since my last appt..I think I have lost about 7 lbs which is as good as I was doing but then again, I have only been to the gym once in the 5 weeks. Listen to your body and check in with your surgeon. Everyone is different

I don't know that to tell you but I wish you luck.

way to go! keep up the good work!
-
did you eat them because you were hungry or because they were good. I find sometimes..I want to eat more than I should just because...not because I am hungry
-
so far so good and I haven't had a fill...but losing the weight has never been a real big problem for me...its the keeping it off...so here's to never having to lose those I just lost again!
-
I will eat a chicken thigh and maybe a corn tortilla with cheese.. sometimes fish. I have had steak but find that is like a once a month thing because I want to eat too much.
-
only you can decide which is best for you...but...in my opinion...I would rather have the band that can be removed if necessary than have the cut our part of my stomach. I love my band!

I read it all too...I was banded May 26th and although I have changed PA's, I am actually lucky because I like the new one better than the first one. I don't know if you can, but maybe you can find where the other PA went and move to them. It is so important to have a team you trust and like. Know I am thinking about you and wishing you the best.

I haven't had a fill, had my surgery on May 26th.. I lost 24 from Feb to May...but am down a total of 70 since Feb. I do it by watching my portions and what kind of food I eat. In my old way of thinking it would be a diet, but with my new way of thinking it is my lifestyle change. I figure sometime, when my loss slows down, I might need a fill..but for now its all good. Good Luck
