I am almost 4 weeks post op, I have lost 11, but the last 2 weeks have pretty much been a stand still since i starting back on regular food, but my nutritionist said it would happen and that i shouldn't count on loosing much at all and its even normal to gain some back.
I completed my first half marathon this weekend! I ran it in 2hrs 42mins and if you experienced that wind and saw those hills you'd be impressed. I impressed myself. It's been one amazing victory after another. I love getting fitter and healthier. Wouldn't change my band for anything.
Hi all-
I so need a buddy to keep motivated. I have lost 70 pounds so far in 9-10 months but I have had a plateau since the end of Dec./early Jan. I had a fill in Feb. but then had to go back for a partial unfill. Even though I was more restricted, I haven't broken the plateau.
Because I have gotten discouraged, I have developed some bad habits again like drinking loaded soda and having ice cream and candy. I have gained about 4 pounds and am so scared. Because of work, I am not exercising like I once did.
I have asked a "famous" you-tube lapbander that is a Facebook "friend" a couple of questions on two separate occasions and never have gotten an answer.
I really need a buddy to keep motivated, to give me words of encouragement, and to keep me accountable. I will do the same for that person. I know it helps as one of my best friends is not considering the band. Just talking with her has helped some but she is in such a different place than I am now that it only helps to a point.
I live in Southern California and was banded April 27th, 2012. I am married, have kids, work and had "lost myself" when I became fat. Does this ring any bellsfor anyone?
Please...someone must be out there.
Thanks-
Jen
