    Good luck to you! We get the band for ourselves and no one else.

    Others who do not have our food eating issues don't understand that we need help. "Irene just reduce your calories" "Calories in and out calories out" yada yada I have heard it all. This is why only my mom, dad and sister know and no one else. Because people without eating disorders just don't get what we so through and suffer through.

    Keep us posted!! I wish you the very best!!

    Gosh before LapBand I would have chinese delivery a few times a week. I did have take out the other day and ordered steamed chicken and carrots. It was actually very good, I did have mustard on the side to dip it in. My normal chinese delivery bill was 45-60 dollars, after lapband its 9.50........I am saving money left and right!

    Good luck!

    Hello,

    I am 5 weeks out today, so we are just a few days apart. ;) When I started working out about 2 weeks ago my weight loss has been going much slower also. It is because I am doing weights and transforming fat into muscle. Muscle is more dense than fat, but it takes up less space. Also, are you using an app or program to monitor your calories? I find that helps me. I was shocked yesterday when I had a 4 oz piece of meatloaf, it was 456 calories!

    As far as biggest loser they work out at least 3 hours a day and in a unrealistic living situation. When they weigh in it actually isn't every week, sometimes is 10-14 days later. The show portrays it as every week but in isn't. We can't compare ourselves to that. I did this last year when I watching it and someone told me exactly what I just told you and I felt better. ;)

    My doctor said I should lose between 6-8 per month and not to expect anything else. So even though I only lost a pound last week my clothes fit me better and my energy level is on the increase. I can't believe the vast amounts of energy I have now. Are you feeling this also?

    I wish I could keep losing 30 pounds a month.......but I will lose it. Positivity and perseverance is the key.

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY, 2013 will be OUR YEAR!!!!!

    ;) Take care of yourself, because you are worth it!

    Wow all interesting jobs!! Great post in forum.

    I am a chiropractor. I sold my practice (which consumed me night and day owning a business) to get in shape and finally lose weight. My excuse (one of many of them) was I didn't have "time" to work out and eat healthy. So I did something about that! I am currently working for a chiropractor 14 hours a week for some income. I LOVE WORKING for someone else, the stress of owning your own business is horrible! I had my surgery Dec 4 and down 34 pounds ;) I am so pleased and I started working out again!

    My days are very flexible so it gives me time to cook and workout. I do spend time on here chatting, texting and emailing with others about our surgeries, sharing experiences, recipes and our progress. This is my plan for one year to 18 months until I get to goal weight and at that point I will decide what I want to do with the rest of my life!! I know one thing for sure I am sure as hell going to enjoy it!!

    Good luck to all of you!! I love hearing all your stories, a lot of them so inspiring!!

    Irene ;)

    That is exactly the reason only 3 people know. I don't want to be judged. I am 44 and wish I had it done at 25 years old. This is your journey in life, no one elses. I congratulate you in taking a huge step for yourself. I been banded one month today and down 34 pounds, I couldn't be happier.

    Let us know how it goes.

    ;)

    Yes P90x is great if you can't get to a crossfit gym! It is the same premise, muscle confusion. Good luck with it, being banded and p90x will truly change your life FASTER!!! I just started back to crossfit last week and I am thrilled. ;)

    CrossFit is a strength and conditioning brand. CrossFit combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics.

    They have them all over the country now. Probably one right down the street from where you live. I have 8 of them within a 10 mile radius.

    It is such a supportive place to go for weight loss. www.crossfit.com

    Try it! You will love it!
