NP keep me posted on your progress!

I know I already emailed ya but also wanted to say Keep your chin up You can and will succeed!

I've lost 67 pounds and still have about 40 to go. It is alot of hard work One of the things that makes me mad people think all we do is get the band and thats that..but its not we have to still work our booty off and battle food. The only difference is we have a tool. I am very grateful for the chance to have this surgery. I get mad at times because I feel like I should be further along but you know I realize I should be proud of where I am...so to say We are all here for ya and please ask any questions you have

Hey there...The day I could start eating reg food or for us anyway was on Thanksgiving...let me tell you it was different...I too before that did ask myself why oh why...You hang in there and your gonna shine before you know it! Keep us posted on your progress!!

Hang in there don't beat yourself up...go back to your doc's orders and I think you'll be fine! Chin up!

I asked myself the same thing at the beginning...You are gonna be fine and before you know it you won't be thinking of anything. Before surgery man I drank sodas Pepsi to be exact all the time and I just couldn't get enough we are talking 4-5 a day. I thought NO way I can go without ...I am happy to say now I don't crave them and I haven't had any since Oct 22. Now if Only I can quit craving other things hehe...Hang in there

awww hun you hang in there. The first part is always the hardest believe me when I first had mine I wondered what the heck did I do and was super hungry. Once you start getting your fills and get in that green zone you will be satisfied and things will go your way. Chin up and hang in there before you know it you will start shedding those pounds!

Ouch sorry to hear that...I think it is normal however if it gets worse def force them to see you it never hurts to check...Hope you feel better!!

Yea getting up and moving is what helps best to get rid of it...and your already taking the gas-x...sorry hon Hang in there it will go away soon

Hey there...I got food stuck once and it actually caused me to vomit...then I had to go get fluid removed because I couldn't keep anything down from my tummy being swollen...however this was because I'll admit I took way to big a bite of my food. Just make sure you chew your food and you'll be A ok!

Keep up the great work in due time it will all come together...I def understand where you are coming from its hard! You got this girl!

Thanks Jen...Have you seen really good results doing 7 days? I've heard that its best to do everyday while trying to lose a great amount...your right every little bit is a start...Thanks for your advice!

Hehe I am thinking Zumba rush is a good one I haven't gotten it yet but I really want it...If you end up getting it let me know! and I'll do the same if I end up getting it soon...We are some zumba crazy fools! haha :wub:

Renae...I heard its just as good of a workout on the Wii...Its really fun..LB...I think you can do it...I have two left feet and I know I may look funny but you'll for sure get a good workout...I've taken actual classes prior to getting zumba on Kinect and I just love it!

Thanks Hedder good tip....and X Lucky Duck...pool is def a great exercise! Wished I had one!

It is! I have the same thing and really enjoy it and by the time I am done I am sweating hardcore! Keep up the great work

I've read many different things and now I am just wondering how many days a week you work out and for how long? I try and get at least 3 but really need to increase that. I figured I'd just ask around and see what is the most common one. Happy 4th to everyone!

As long as you can keep fluids down and it doesn't hurt you should be ok however if you just don't feel it and don't feel right def get some removed. I had my band too tight once and I couldn't barely get water down....Hope this helps have a great day!

Thansk Pandora...that helps a whole lot thank you for your help!

You got it girl! Its just nice to have that pal that can be there if you need them to be! Hope your day is great!

Thanks to you both!...Jennifer thank you and right back at ya!...X-good for you on the pool! I love swimming and think that is something I def want to do for exercise!

It's all about baby steps and I finally reached a simple minor goal. That was to get at least a one workout this weekend because I tend to skip the entire weekend all together well I did it!. I worked out for 40 mins and I feel pretty darn good about it! :wub: I think my negativity and problem is wanting it all right now and over doing it. So I figured babysteps and I will get there in due time. Slow and steady wins the race. I feel good and thats all that matters so Keep on Keeping on!!

:)Geat job!! Keep up the great work!

Hi there nice to meet you...Congrats on the weightloss your doing great! You will def get to the green zone but I understand your frustration I get that way myself! I am with you the best way to succeed is with friends! Good luck

Well, Hello to you that is currently reading this. My name is Kanda and I am 31 married with one son. I had my lapband on October 27th and have lost 67 pounds. Lately, I have been stuck in a rut but today I wake up and realize life is great and I will succeed. I am hoping to find others that want some buddies no matter where we live because lets face it...we are the only one's that know what its like going thru this whole ordeal. Our struggles and our positives. I live in Colorado but am from Texas. I have to say even tho lately I've been sorta down...This is the best thing I have done for myself. I suffer from PCOS so that does not help when trying to lose weight. anyway I hope to meet people that just want to vent or be cheered on so Good luck to all of us!! :wub:
