You look great good job

Great motivating post !!! I can't wait to be where you are but at least 2 months banded I'm on the road

257.2 slow loss this week need to kick up the cardio

2 months post op and I do not regret it. I am amazed how such a small amount if food keeps me satisfied and the 3-4 hours. So much easier than my past dieting. This tool was the missing link in my weightloss success. First week was hellish the gas pains killed me but after that I was back to old me. Eating in public first time was scary but you know what no one cared what I are or how little good luck and this forum is a great place to be as well I read lost daily to stay focused and motivated

I agree with the post above and the great thing about this forum is we have been there and understand. I'm only 2 months banded and I still have that worry despite my loss and NSV. I'm so afraid I will fail at this but I stay within my dietary guidelines and try and exercise 4-6 a week. When I have the o crap moments I log on here and just read and read ... We are here for you I am here for you. It's a new journey which is very scary ... But I believe will be worth it.

Thanks for sharing mine is a sigh or burp 2 months out 1 fill and I get it it took me a few days to figure it out. But I like that signal it's crazy to even leave one bite but I do and am so proud.

Great job !!!! That's an awesome percentage !!!!

I have extremely gossipy co workers so I did not tell them and am not telling then. I got banded over summer break. I went to visit over the summer school session and just said I'm eating healthier/less calories which is true and I'm exercising more which is Also true. This is my journey for me no One else's business. I think it's a personal choice and since I'm always dieting this isn't a great change. I figure I had the two months if summer to get used to my new life style. Lets see what September brings !!! Good luck

I am a speech pathologist and work with very active toddlers thru 8 year olds. I have a high tolerance to pain didn't pop a pain pill after being released from the hospital. I had surgery Monday went to mall shopping with teenage nieces Thursday I was exhausted and I usually exhaust them shopping. By the following Wednesday I went back to work part time. Lifting lightly (I do home based therapy as well so I must carry my supplies) and I was fine by Wednesday 10 days after surgery. Good luck Listen to your body. Your doing a great thing you don't want to make anything go wrong

Awesome and great job

Checking in at 257.8 hit my August goal of being 258:) banded 7/1/13 down 35 lbs since pre op diet/lap band surgery looking forward to September challenge and making it into my next group of 10.

Thanks for sharing !! As I change physically I am changing emotionally and mentally as well I guess. I see the importance of my good habits and putting me first. I notice people who know about the band are supportive but still it's difficulty because I'm changing and they may not be as I grow I'm learning who to keep and who to cut lose. Basically if u don't enhance my life u gotta go cause as my screen name suggest I choose to be happy

Good to know I have been feeling it during spinning lately thought I did something wrong

Woo hoo congrats !!!!

Good luck and great job on seeking help. I had a bit of anxiety first time going out with people who don't know I was banded . Alot of people don't know and you know what no one cared about what I ate and when people comment on my weight loss I give them half the tricks 1000-1200 calories a day n working out .

Congrats and thanks for the motivation can't wait to get there I have 3.5 cc in 1O cc band going Monday for my second fill

Great job can't wait to meet you in onederland

Don't freak out and don't be embarrassed . No one needs to kno about your band and a good doctor will guide ur fills appropriately. I was banded 7/1/13 got my first fill 7/29/13,and am doing fine. The follow up fills and care from what I read makes getting the band successful. Don't let your fear of the unknown get in the way of this amazing journey to your new lifestyle .

Happy birthday and awesome birthday gift -41 lbs !!!!
