There Is No Question, For Me, Lapband Will Work! And Here's How I Know...
LiveStrong41 replied to LiveStrong41's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Best wishes... you'll do great! To all who read this: I'm not saying this journey will be easy, but for me, so far, I've put in the same amount of will/wantpower and dedication as I have in my pre-banded life WITH FAR BETTER RESULTS. I don't expect the rest of my weightloss to be free of hiccups, and knowing myself as I do, I'm sure there will also be a little whining along the way, but I also know without my band I just wasn't able to do it. Lack of faith in my former self? Maybe. Probably. But, not this time around. Post band is a whole different game! Best wishes to everyone.... newbies and success stories!!! Love you all. -

Sunshyne: I wrote you this big long reply and it got deleted. Arg! Anyway, I'm typing on my Kindle which is seriously labor intensive for me, so I'm going to have to be brief now... ha. Anyway, yes I incorporate both cardio and strength training. I was finally given a full release for all/any exercise of choice this week. Every surgeon is different with regard to how much food you can eat and when, but ive been on solids for awhile so I'm eating about a half cup of food per meal (5 times a day). This is what ive been told to do. Obviously most of that portion is lean protein. Hope my answers are helpful. Keep up the good work!! -

I'm sorry I forgot to add the most important tidbit... it took me 8 MONTHS to lose the 25 lbs. before surgery... and I swear I was at the gym working hard consistently. After surgery, in less than 2 MONTHS ive lost 33 lbs. Yes, both times ive worked hard, but c'mon in six months less time ive lost more. What I'm saying is there really is hope! -
A fabulous drop of 4 lbs. this week! Very happy with that number. Maybe "one"derland by Halloween?!
-
Hi Steve... let us know how you're doing these days! And, have a wonderful week.
Good night. -
I really appreciate your recent blogs about this. I have yet to be filled, so I'm very interested in hearing about what it's like... and how to eat/live with the fills. Sincere thanks. I certainly hope this gets easier for you! Best wishes.

Pulled out a "too tight to zip" skirt from my closet today- and it fit! Still haven't lost enough weight to fit comfortably into an older pair of jeans, but no worries... it is so gonna happen one day.

What an incredible story. I'm very interested in this Head Hunger class you took. I'm going to try to look for something like that in my area. Thanks!
-
I think you wrote this for me!! ha. I so get how you're feeling. I don't feel the same degree of control as you do... yet. But, I sure hope to follow suit very soon. Keep on, keeping on!! Love your post.

One Month Post Op!! And First Fill!!
LiveStrong41 commented on Duhs9919's blog entry in Amanda's Rambles
So sorry about Taylor! Very difficult to lose our furry friends. And, great job with your weight loss journey. Love reading your posts. -
Today was the first time I've curled my hair and put on full makeup in months, maybe years with regard to my hair!
-
Sincere thanks to all my WLS friends! Your positive thoughts (and my hard work... ha!) resulted in a 2 lb. loss yhis week! It might not seem like much, but to me it's a much needed morale boost!!
-
Please remind me that this is a lifestyle change and my weight will drop off if I continue to work with my lapband. I'm struggling a little bit... I weigh in tomorrow and I think it'll be another week with no loss...
-
Oh, bless her heart. Your post made me tear up... what a brave/ tough little girl. You're all in my prayers tonight!!
