I'm walking on the treadmill at least once a day, sometimes 3 times a day. But I haven't started lifting weights yet. After 20 years of gaining weight I just don't want to do anything to slow down the weight loss. Am I nuts? I've lost about 80lbs so far & got 50 to go.

3 months post op and right now I'm avg 4 pounds lost a week! I've only had 1 fill. I'm keeping my portions small as I can & choosing the right food with no cheating. (Except a little at Xmas). Walking on treadmill twice a day. Lost over 60 lbs including preop diet! People think the band deserves all the credit, like if you get the band you're automatically gonna lose weight. It's give me the help I needed to do this but I'm working hard & making good food choices. I'm thankful for the band but giving myself some credit for my hard work & sacrifice.

Good news. I didn't get a fill before coming to North Dakota but they have a good variety of food at the man camp I'm in like baked chicken & salad bar plus they even have a gym here so I'll have no excuses. I'm staying on my "diet" & exercising so I should be alright. (-:

I'm almost 2 months post op. I've had one fill and definetly need another BUT my work is sending me out of town (1500 miles ) for 2 months and I have to leave on the 31st. I don't think it's gonna be possible to get a fill before I go. Any suggestions or advise?

Dang it. I've been wanting to ask but embarrassed, lol. What is an NSV?

Hmmm. Interesting. Hope it's true. That's the hardest part for me

This band is an awesome tool but it takes ALOT of will power and self control to use it properly. Im 40 years old & been on too many unsuccessful diets to count, Why in the world couldn't I make better food choices before the band? Mad at myself for getting in this shape. Oh well, guess I'll just start over. Lol. This week I'll be down 50lbs. A huge success for me but I'll still have a long ways to go. Can't help but be embarrassed to say I've lost that much and I'm still OBESE!

Hang I there. Eat protein first and do not drink while eating or atleast 30 minutes after ( 90 min if you can stand it). If your already doing all that then I'd talk to doctor/nutritionist. Good luck, you can do it!

I'm not tracking now. I eat 3 meals a day, small portions.

Was wondering in your experience has keeping a journal been helpful. I find it tedious and time consuming. I'm not even doing it anymore. But if I really need to I will
