I wish it would leave my thighs!!

I was banded June 5. I have either lost or maintained since the surgery. I hit my first goal of 42 pound down late last week. Then I gained 3 pounds and am still up 2 1/2 pounds. I am eating about 1000 calories a day , exercising at least an hour everyday and getting enough protein. I hate to say it but for the first time I am discouraged. Don't really know what to do next. I get my second fill possibly on Monday

202.3. Had wanted to be below 200 but it is 123 pounds gone for me from the start 6 yearsago

I am right there with you. My first goal was to weigh less than my husband. He was sick this summer and lost 28 pounds. Now I am chasing him But my next goal is to break 200 and like you I am close at 203. So keep it up and down we go!!

How do you all take the biotin? It is a capsule so not sure how to get it in?

Somber a When I was 325 being able to exercise was a dream of mine. I was encouraged by some friends of mine to get on the pool. I hated anyone seeing me in a bathing suit but the Water hides a lot!! So now at 200 pounds I can't wait to get to a class. I just bought a new tight fitting set of yoga pants to work out in. I think you have a great goal and know you will get there

Congrats. I was originally 325 , am now 203 and waiting to say. Goodbye 200s. Keep up the good work

Meant so much easier not south!! Darn spell check

I've had 7 surgeries in the past 7 years plus two cesareans 30 plus years ago The lap band was south easier than anything else I have had done

Checking in at 203.6. Wanted to get to 200by this time but I am close!!

I have had two stuck episodes. I wasnt expecting it since I have only had one fill of 1.5 cc. But it was awful on chicken and turkey

I was banded June 5 th and down 39 pounds so far. Since I started my weight loss journey I am down 123 altogether I lost weight through TOPS (Take off pounds sensibly) but put 40 pounds back off. I am loving now being able to get back into old clothes. I think I kept too many pairs of pants since my closet is full!
