Good morning everyone, 2/16/10 I experienced my life change for the lapband. I lost maybe 1/3 of my weight. part of the problem was I had a knee issue called chondromalacia. basically my knee was off track, I wasn't able to excersice like I wanted to, lack of motivation etc. I thankfully did not gain the weight back. the good news is in 1/13 I went through arthiscopic surgery and they were able to put it back on track. now I've signed up for a membership at my fitness center in my apartment complex. I will start working out slowly. I also bought a big thing of protein shake. I want to lose more weight but more importantly I need to tone up my body. I actually feel pretty good about the way I look but would like just the fat to go away. I intend to start working out and to try to start getting adjustments again. it's hard getting adjustments because of my work schedule.hope everyone is doing well..good luck...xoxox K

I KNOW TODAY IS THE DAY AND MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE W/ U & UR FAMILY! REMEMBER THAT EACH DOCTOR/HOSPITAL HAVE THEIR OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS. FOLLOW YOURS AND YOU'LL BE FINE..THE DOCTOR CAME TO SEE ME AFTER THE SURGERY AND I CONFESSED TO HIM I HAD 2 SUSHI ROLLS..HE LAUGHED SO MUCH IT WAS FUNNY!!...GOOD LUCK LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DOIN.................

Crystal lite is awesome!!! After i got banded i felt so dehydrated, i drink water constantly with tons of ice cubes...i have a quart at work and go through like 3-4 of those a day and one at home..try freezing your water..also dont forget crystal lite popsicles yumm!!
