Just a note to add...the bypass surgery can also be done lapascopically but for some odd reason they have all their patients thinking the surgery is more successful if its done open. To me it's awful what that open surgery does to you. Your almost guaranteed a hernia too. Anyways just wanted to clarify that the bypass can also be done lapascopically just most doctors don't do it that way. Happy friday

You'll find alot of negativity. I don't really know why. Some how it feels like a competition. Or we have to validate our feelings for which surgery we choose. I don't really know. But there are alot of bad vibes between bypass and banders. I really try not to do that and just realize that both surgeries have their place. You just have to find the right one for you. Happy researching and welcome to the boards. Your in the right place for Band info.

Your allowed hon..don't stress about it. how you feeling?

Thursday..45 minute spin class..oh a killer..but oh so felt good also had extra time for circuit training and 50 crunches..

yeah its odd how are bodies adjust. I'm not so scared of class anymore and I'm actually turning the knob now some on the bike..LOLL. I've noticed some changes in my legs from the class..its soo cool

Bananas are evil! The consistency just won't work for me. Damn I miss bananas..if I have em in a smoothie thats the only way.

This is pretty common actually..fills can fluctuate. Although other things do effect how tight your fill feels. Number one for me is stress..number two is if its that time of the month, I'll be super tight. Also if I'm sick at all..i'll get alot tighter. You'll learn how your band is. Just takes time. If you can't keep anything down or drink then your fill turned out to be too tight. Sounds to me though that u just need to go on some liquids for awhile and let things calm down. Like anything..if your really worried about it talk to your doctor. Take care Diane

I've sorted been going up and down and not going anywhere. I'll find out tomorrow if I lost anything. Although just went to Panera bread and was bad..LOL. Hopefully tonights spin class will burn that off..geeze

Yesterday did 36 minutes on treadmill at 4.0 incline Did 20 minutes on circuit weight machines...and at least 50 crunches..nobody around this time..LOL

You should definitely take a day off. Your body needs it. No worries hon you'll be fine

LOLLL..I'm one focused girl is all I can say. I wasn't ABOUT to leave cause they were there. One guy even started singing..it was really odd. LOL..

I did the same thing...no worries. Although I do need some bigger shoes. It's amazing how much my feet swell during the class. This also happens on the eleptical. It's annoying.

I bet your not as sore as before.

Okay Monday night...Step aerobics class...45 minutes Also did 50 crunches in the stretch room with 4 other guys around me..LOLLL..was pretty funny actually with me on the floor. Also did a few machines before the class. Welcome to the new people just starting out. Remember to we all had to start at the gym at one time and felt EXACTLY the same way. It'll be fine in a week when u get in the swing of it.

September went by too fast.. Good job though guys

Sunday 30 minutes on the treadmill 20 minutes on the weight machines...and 60 crunches It was REALLY REALLY hard to go today..just didn't wanna..and I almost gave myself permission cause of my ankle..geeze I just wanna get to my goal already

This is so true..in fact I don't know anyone that has reached their goals that did not include exercise. Besides you look so much better too. :rose:

Saturday..30 minute weight class.. Get this..yesterday I gained 2 pounds today I was 2 pounds less when I weighed in..LOL..scale is driving me crazy

Just reading over the thread and I just wanted to emphasize that you guys need to take your time with fills. You will get there. You don't want to be like my best friend and have her band slip because she was too agressive with the fills. Just take your time. You will get there..this isn't a race Also from my personal experience it took 4 fills to get me to a good spot. Took me a year..just hang in there

Had spin class last night...and I survived another one. It's actually getting easier now. I don't feel like I wonder if I'm gonna make it through now. Got to class a little early so I also did 50 crunches and some arm work with the body bar.

Go go hon!!..

Ohh yeah..some of us women actually care more about the little things in life then material objects. Shocking I know. I'm sure it gets annoying when you find women that just wants ya for your car or some other thing like that. My ex husband was big BIG time into racing so yeah I know exactly what u mean. I think he loved the car more than me..in fact I'm sure of it..LOL.

I was scared to run on my ankle thats bothering me but I really wanted to feel like I was working myself too. So I decided on the incline. Worked out really well. Ankle still bothering me though..blah. Fricken stress..I need a vacation and a hot tub..bad!

Aww hon..yeah don't get to worked up about the scale. I know EXACTLY how u feel though. It's a fricken war! But 4 inches!!..wow thats fabulous. As far as the scale goes. I would just maybe mix up what your eating. Are your writing down what ur eating? The minute I don't track is when I gain. Sigh. Make sure ur not eating too much salt too. That always messes me up. Good luck and cheer up! Look how far u've come :rose:

I like the picture! Your a cutie :rose: Nice car too HOT HOT
