Thank you losinjusme!! I have a brand new ticker and I can track the weight loss. You have done incredibly well. What is this September exercise challenge I see a ticker for?

It is so great to hear about how well you are all doing. :clap2:It inspires me to try and plan what I eat and when to get in some exercise. I would love to be able to track my weight loss like others on this site but I haven't figured out where to get the graphic. I notice most people are using tickersomething.com. Could anyone tell me where I can find it? :help:

Hi there, I was banded on June 28 and my weight loss has been 34 lbs. I have seen a lot faster weight loss on this site and slower. It really depends on how well you choose your food. If you eat chinese, pizza and burgers it will be pretty slow. However, my Dr. has told me by about 2 years both banding and bypass have lost about the same amount. The lap band does not have a lot of the potential side effects that can occur with the bypass., and the recovery is faster!. I think my weight loss is slow because I haven't really attempted to stick only to low cal foods. The amount I eat is considerably less so the weight is coming off regardless. I need to add some exercise like walking as I sit at a computer all day. I was approved for bypass and I chose to pay $12000 for banding instead. I don't regret the banding. Hope this helps out.
