I bought on a couple of weeks ago and have been riding it to and from curves. The only problem I have is it is mostly up hill on the way back, but it does give me a work out. We need to get a bike carrier for the suv so we can go ride the bike loop( 7 miles) without as many hills! I ride at 6 am and am home by 730am so I can miss the heat here. Good for you and enjoy p.s. I bought the big butt seat for mine and had my husband change it out for me. so much better!

I got rid of my home scale because I would do the same thing. I weigh in once a week at the gym. I get to down on myself if I do it more

how about buying shorts smaller than you where putting them on a week later and finding out they fit!!

I am in for 10

We went out to eat breakfast again this week, but this time we went to Denny's. The waitress we had was wonderful. I told her I had lapband and needed a smaller meal and she was able to suggest something and even a change to it to make it healthier. Needless to say she got a very good tip!!

My May total is 18.5 pounds. I have lost a total of 52.5. This week I lost the least amout, which was 2.5 pounds, but I know that is around what I should be losing per week. I have tried eating new things and expanding my food choices. My goal for June is 10 pounds, yes I would like to drop more than that, but I want my goal to be something I know I can do so June here I come!

I had my reversal a year and a half ago and I was back to normal within a couple of weeks. I do though have issues pushing it out. (sorry about this) I think my muscles kind of lost some power while I had my bag!!! Best of luck and I am very happy for you.

I am so happy lapband is starting to work for you know woodslass. I was worried about you in the begining. Keep up the great work!

My whole thing was that we went out for breakfast and I only wanted one egg and a piece of bacon. It was not the price I was after, but the small portion. Eggs do not make good take home and reheat food! Most places you can find smaller items to eat, but not always......

nsv today, my blood pressure meds have been cut in half! will be off them in a month!

Taco time has a lite salad under 200 cals or white bean chili. A lot of the fast food places have cal listings you just need to ask for it.

I waited three weeks, but I went out and walked (2.5 miles) everyday after day 7.

I drive 3 hours over a mountain pass to get my fills. It also costs me 75 $ in gas, but it is worth it to get o my goal. You can do it!!!

I drink coffee daily with no problem, Soda is a big no no we are not allowed to have carbonation and as for salad I have been eating it you just have to chew. Some people get stuck on it but everyone is different.

My husband an I went out to eat this morning after our walk. We went to Shari's, when I asked for a childrens menu and pulled out my little card they told me no. Company policy does not allow them to offer us a smaller kids meal even with the lap band card. So I will not go back there again. I came home with lots of left overs that I will eat for a day! Anyway just wondering if anyone else has ran into this. On the flip side I am feeling great and the weight loss contnues. Smiles to all....

congrats that is great. It is always so great to see the scale move

I did also with just splenda in it. Now I get a tall skinny hazelnut latte from starbucks! 90 cals and it is one of my dairy for the day.

I stopped weighing myself at home because I was weighing daily and it effected my whole day. Now I weigh in every monday morning before my work out at curves. Gives me something to look forward too! You have to do what you are comfortable with. When I get to goal I will probably switch back to home and daily, but right now this is the best for me.

I also joined curves 3 weeks ago, get rid of that home scale and weigh in at curves. Thats what I am doing every monday and it makes life easier not having one at the house for now. Good luck Brenda

had my 2nd fill today! They told me it could take till number 3 or 4 till I stop getting hungery every two hours. As long as I am losing it is ok to have healthy snacks. I was also told the problem with my tom is our systems are all out of wack with the surgery and weight loss. It throws are hormones off, it should slowly get back to normal.

If you have a band, it is a sign your band is to tight. Call your Dr.

I get my 2nd fill may 17th. I have had no problems at all. It so far seems easy, I just want to stop being hungary every two hours. I have now eaten steak and salad with no problem just chew chew chew! I have found a new love of any kind of berries, they are soooooooooooo good. I guess I have had one problem, since surgery I have had 3 toms in 38 days. I just hate to go to a dr for this, but I think I am going to have to if it keeps up.

as of today I have lost 45 yeah me! I weigh in on mondays at curves and was in shock today because I dropped more and have cut back on my walking. (knee problem) I am still working out 6 days a week at curves.

I go for a walk! I do though have a sugar free fudgecycle every evening and it is on 40 cals

I am planning on calling tomorrow and making an appointment for next week. I have some restriction in the morning, but not the rest of the day. I am also still getting hungery every two hours and would like to be able to not have to eat Snacks. I am sticking to the plan and getting my workouts and walks in 6 days a week. I have lost 39 pounds now, but I can say it is work! Anyone that thinks losing weight with lab band is easy does not have one!
