Hi everyone, I was banded last Friday 07/27/12. I'm in the liquid phase. I don't have a proper scale at home so went to the gym to weigh myself. I knew I lost weight since the surgery, but never imagined losing 10 lbs in my first week. I am just shocked, thought I'd share it with u guys

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on the 07/27/2012, so this is my third week post-op. I'm feeling fine, been going to work and been walking around and stuff but I was wondering when I can start going to gym? How long before I can do a fitness class or lift weights etc? And advice is highly appreciative. Thanks

Thanks for all the positive comments. I agree, water or fat, I am so motivated right now. 1-2lbs per week is fine by me, but I think having such a big first week is very motivating. I can't wait to start gym

gonna be tough---dont hate me....but was in your shoes not long ago:
ok. you messed up. so what....you gained back what you lost. ok. so what...
shall i take your head now or later??
what is done is done. we cannot go back in time to what was. what you have is today. right now.
you also acknowledge drinking soda, eating/binging and all the things you know is what made you
and i gain weight in the first place. SO STOP IT-- RIGHT NOW.
just because you can overeat, and eat junk food and eat around the band
does not mean you should. did you go through all the pre ops and post ops and liquid diets just to say WTheck?? no i dont think so.
right now is a new day. a new start.
3 meals a day and a couple healthy Snacks.
get rid of the junk (high fat/salty/processed foods).
get rid of the sodas.
buy fresh fruit/veggies and lean Protein.
NO EXCUSES by saying i got kids and they need treats.....
you know what to do to lose weight
you also know what to do to gain weight.
you either make up your mind to do something about it or you stay where you are.
when is the last time you seen your surgeon/lap band doctor?
if you want help, this forum saved me and still saves me to this day. i am a newbie bander.
but i know if i want to succeed, i have to do it.
you can do this. Yes you can. dont say you cant or its too hard.
no more excuses. just get on with it. life is too short to ponder what was.
if you need me to email you/text/call you every hour, i will.
i am here for you.
but please know you have to be there for yourself first.
you are in my thoughts.
