OK, so im coming up on 11 months post op and I just now reached 50 lbs lost. At first I felt a little like a failure just becasue its 50 not 100. Then I thought I am just now getting motivated enough to excercise. I have lost 7 lbs in the past week and a half which is awesome for me since I have been on a yoyo since I was at 250.My scale is my friend again and I am looking forward to doing something, some kind of exercise every day. I get bored with the same ole all the time so I bought an elliptical in october... I just put it together about 2 weeks ago and I love it. I have worked my way up in time from 6 min to 57 minutes. I love walking around the park with my family and I have enjoyed using the wii and Kinect on my own. SOMETHING! EVERYDAY! I feel pretty good about the last part of this year long journey.

Hi I'm Ebony in St Pete I was banded in May of 2011

I made it out of the 250s' ! FINALLY! Oh it feels so good. I just wanna go RUN! The first time in my life I have so enjoyed looking forward and forgetting the past.Seeing those scale numbers drop has been awesome. The scale is my friend for the first time EVER! Now if I could just figure out what to do so that I can Run w/o my fat stomach flapping... any suggestions?

I think the focus in the beginig is to have you eating things that are easy to get down. Once you are able to eat solid foods you will be able to eat things much more healthy. Good Luck!

I had a hard time with the machine before I had the surgery. I was only able to do it for a few minutes my first tme and I had to build myself up everytime I got on, pushing myself another minute everytime.It started with a song I had to stay on for the lengh of one song and then workmy way up to two and so on. Now its a 30 minute tv show. I have to have some stimulation. music or tv. Good Luck.

Had my first fill today I am looking forward to some restrictions but I know that it may not happen right away.
