Banded April 7th and I have had 3 fills and lost 43 lbs so far! I think I am @ restriction, I try to work out @ leat 3 times a week. I am happy with my decision to have this done.

I cant drink right after I eat I have to wait at least half an hour after or it will all come back up.

I understand exactly how u feel, I have lost 43lbs too and i am down only one size from a 22 to a 20 and not even all 20s fit and I cant explain this and it can be really frustrating cant wait until i can wear a dress size starting with a 1 instead of a 2 comfortably.

Weighing in at 266.6 down 0.4lbs

My surgery was on a Thursday so I weigh in every Thursday, I dont think I can handle the fluctuations of weighing in everyday. On Wednesday evenings I am usually very anxious like a kid in for a test the next day and the anxiety doesnt subside untill i have weighed the next day and seen a loss.

Checking in at 267lbs, down 3lbs this week.

Checking in at 270 down 5.2 lbs :bananapowerslide: Down 40 lbs from start weight :bananapowerslide: Super excited!!!!

4 weeks post op today and 21 pounds down

I started going to the gym on Monday. I have been doing ellipticals and walking around the track, nothing to intense. On Tuesday cos i had heard how great Zumba classes were i decided to try it out and it was so much fun I did it at my own pace so that my port does not flip i worked up some sweat and i was really happy. I took a break on Wednesday. Today there is another Zumba class and i plan to go for it. I have never been an exercise person but i know it would definitely help with the weight loss. i am so happy about the zumba class i don't feel like i am working out at all. find something you love and you will not feel like it is exercise.

Today I am 11 days post up, i decided to go back to the gym today and do some light work out and gradually work my way up. It felt really good and I hope to work out at least 5 times a week.
