Banded on 4/25/12

I guess we all have had someone tell us something good but bad about ourselves. But guess what it has lead us to better days. We live and we all learn a lot. I once was told by a co-worker T. Williams you are a pretty girl why dont you lose some weight because you will really be pretty then. I thought that was funny but deeply i knew she was right. But i knew i wasnt finish with having kids and i didnt wont to take this journey to prefection and then mess it back up and have to start back over again so i am now done with having kids. I have four and my husband and i have decided that is enough so we both are trying to change our life style. I am doing this for me and not anyone else. I am just tired of being obesed. By next year i will be at my goal weight and that will be a great feeling.

I am also 2 months out of surgery i was banded on 4/25/12. I have lost a total of 28lbs as of today. I didnt lose any weight prior to surgery. I in the same position as you. I would like to lose a total of 80lbs with this surgery by next year.
My doctor would not give me a fill he said that i am losing weight great. He also said that a healthy weight loss is losing 5lbs a month and i am well over 5lbs a month. He told me once i get to the point that i am not losing then he would give me a fill but at this moment he will not give me a fill. I was upset at the moment because i was hearing about everyone getting their first fill at 6 weeks and when i got to my six weeks my doctor refused to give me a fill. I was soooo disappointed but i thought about and realized that he is right.
I also told my doctor i have no restricitons. I can eat a house if i wont to but i choose not to. I never vomit or had dirreaha. I never had any complications during or after surgery. Thank you GOD. I can eat chicken, rice, anything that a normal person can eat but i try not to but if i do i eat it by the ounces. I have total control over my eating habits now. I dont if its a mind thing but it is working for me.
The only reason i had the surgery is to lose weight and i am losing so i am happy that i did have the lap band surgery.
I also go to the gym if not everyday or about 6 days a week. I do zumba, spinning, eliptical machine, and so on i am determined to defeat this obesity.
right now i am trying to find a workout that will help out with my arms because i am noticing that they are starting to sag. Do anyone know an exercise that can help out with my arms.

I was banded sept 2011 starting at 295 my current weight today is 174!

Well i can say my sex life has gotten a bit better. I am more involved. I find myself more willing and active then before.

I thank you both for the information. Yeah need to change that information sorry got the months mixed up.

I start that stage nxt week can't wait anything better than liquid...I also had my surgery on 4/25 since then I've lost 20lbs
