thats awesome so happy for u and I never though of naming mine...

drank 11 glasses of water last week and went shopping to get all the correct food to do better!! Hang in there guys we did not gain all this weight overnight nor will it go away over night! Keep up the good work all!

made it thru Christmas just fine! Have a red solo cup on desk and every time I drink a fill glass I use a sharpie and put a heart...last week got 4 1/2 full cups of water down...I usually only drink one cup of coffee and no other liquids...I know thats bad. So this week I am going for 8 full glasses. also today going to clear out food drawer at work. small changes guys thats what it going to take. Good luck all of you we are all fighting the same battle and no one wins the war alone it takes an army so glad that you all are her to be part of my army!!!

yes you can do this baby steps one thing at a time.

And also I have other goals I just recently got my motorcycle license and my weight really hinders my riding...so that's part of my goal too

All excuses set aside i honestly don't think I really gave the process a fair chance only got two fills in all. If I am correct it takes most 4 to 5 fills before they find there sweet spot. Thank u for the encouragement... excited and nervous at the same time

So after over a year and a half of not getting any fills I made my appointment for a fill on the first available appointment which is January 6th. Now going all over this website to gather information and get myself mentally ready. Cause I know if my mind is not right then I will fail. Started drinking Water and making better choices on food but I have been overeating so long that it will be a struggle just have to pull my big girl panites up and do this....Also have found a friend that is all ready to exercise with me feel need to get that started now so it will give me a jump start. Found my lapband book on shelf in cabinet and already reading it again from start.

I have to wait until Jan 1st cause my car is in the shop until then so I can not even go get a fill yet...I am already eating better and packing my lunch and making my Breakfast at work to cut out the last minute getting junk food.

I am in the same boat had a fill about two years ago and only have two fills in all planning on restart Jan 1st after all the holiday stress. Good luck and I know you can do it!!!

Got surgery in August 2011 only had two fills have not gotten fill in almost two years so I plan on starting over on Jan 1st and anyone who wants to restart with a support of a friend is welcome to join me!!

Hi I have decided its time to exercise and I did bootcamp for 5 out of 7 days and one day walking...Happy that I am doing something but in alot of pain...i have arthritis so it will hurt no matter what i do but how do you get thru the soreness? I have no intentions to give up but sitting here at work ready to cry cause of the soreness.

Been off the site for awhile...living life...been on a cruise and just having fun....getting smaller and can do so much even did the amazing race in mexico not as fast as I wanted to be but still did it...go out and enjoy life!!!!

i got one for xmas its 380 rueger with a lazer...have not learned how to shoot it yet but we have a date planned at the gun range

All was well at doctor and I am back to losing again....!!!

I have a few winners.....or should I say losers.. 1. My mother in law bought me a a shirt in 4 x I ony wore a large and said sorry thats as big as they go 2. My husbands lovely aunt said the day you lose weight is the day I turn black. 3 I though you had surgery to lose weight. freaking idiots I find it so hard not to say something back...lets see I have been married to the same man for almost 20 years I have raised three sons..and I own my own home...and I am over weight....kiss my butt

I too am starting over.. I got the lapband my insurance at work paid for it..right after the surgery I was laid off...so I never went back for a fill and it took me 8 months to find a job. I only lost 13 lbs and was completely upset I though this would solve my problems with weightloss...I ate small meals but often did not really follow rules and recently I just took a hard look at myself and realized I was not thinking about it as I should. Lapband is a tool to help with weightloss not the solution...the solution was I had to want to lose it.. So I ended my pity party and pulled up my big girl panties and started over it was hard at first and I also got a fill and went back to my regular doctor yesterday got complete blood work and going to give this a go again. For me I have to just move forward no longer beat myself up for my failures but congratulate myself for starting over...Good luck!!!!

I can only eat the best cuts and I have to cut really small bites...I usually share one with my husband

it happen to me for the first week....walk alot every two hours when you drink anything do it slowly one sip at a time

i love it all but going to have to really focus and just taste a bite of stuff no filling the plate up.
