I just finished stall number two since surgery... 1.5 weeks with no movement on the scales finally lost 1/2 pd... I'm counting it..... Stay in the Journey the stall will pass

Stalls will happen, main thing is to stay the course. Fantastic progress man!

Thanks y'all. Been doing the gym 4-5 days a week... Regardless of the scale I'm still going strong...scale will move when it feels like it lol

Fantastic!

hey dude you are aces!!! keep up the good job )

Congrats

Wow your doing amazing.. .....

Rmember it is not a sprint but a marathon..... as for the stall (this too shall pass) my first one was at about 4 weeks...lasted over a week....

Hey come by your profile to check in on you. How are you doing?

It's been an eventful 7 weeks, a lot of bad days but hopefully they're over with. I'm 51lbs down since surgery...76 total

Points for you man!! Congrats!

Congrats!

Wow, you're doing great! Keep up the great work!

Great job!

Hey Brian,

To coin a phrase "Just Do It" Swoosh! You've got this.

Try G2 Gatorade or coconut water. It is a natural hydrator. They will keep your electrolytes up..

Water water water..

I agree with Jordan. Water is key. I stick with cold water or Crystal Light. I don't go anywhere without it. I'm also working on getting my shake intake up. Will keep you in my prayers.

Congrats. How did it go?

Feeling ok.... Really been tough to get all the liquids in and protein. I feel bloated all the time :/

Congrats.. the over full feeling will subside. Get up and move, drink and have some protein... Your going to do great.

take it easy man, each day gets better and better trust me.

Keep getting up and get out and do some walking. You got this !!!

Walking actually gave me a little energy boost. Don't overdo it, but a little moving helps you heal faster.

was wondering how you were doing...hang in there...rome wasn't built in a day prayers for the days ahead to be better

First full day for me too. Hospital was rough.

The anxiety leading up to surgery was the worst part! I was ready for them to just get it on and be done with it! Time seemed to be going at half speed during this period, as well as the first few months post-op. Hang in there though, it'll be a distant memory before you know it. Now (17 months out) it seems like a lifetime ago! I pray the surgery is textbook and that you'll soon be cursing the nurses for waking every few hours to check you out and making you walk the halls! LOL

Godspeed for a rapid recovery!

You will do fine. By day 2 I felt good. I was up and walking day one but sore.... Just remember follow all your doctors rules and get up and walk as soon as possible. It will keep complications down... will be thinking of you...

Take a deep breath and breathe!! You will do fine and everything will be ok

So exciting!! Wishing you all the best and for a quick recovery!!

sending you positive thoughts for a fast recovery. Good Luck.

very exciting! will say a prayer for you!

No worries. Trust me, you aren't the first or the last to have second thoughts. I'm telling you though, this procedure has been an absolute blessing for me! I'm 47 and feel better than I have in decades! I'm working out every day...no longer sore with aches and pains (attributed to the excess weight my frame was carrying)...and just feel like I've got a new lease on the second half of my life! Don't ever hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions or just need a sounding board. I ain't an expert and am far from perfect, but I'll damn sure be honest with you! LOL

Definitely will man. Redskins fan here! ✔

Its 3:29 AM, sleep problems as usual. But lap band problems ? None, zip, zero. I flew from Wash state to NY this summer, did tourist stuff and Amtrak'd back home. Never once had a problem food wise. Ate on planes , trains and automobiles, just small portions and stayed away from the few foods that bother me, ( rice, pasta, some breads) almost 3 yrs banded, life is sooo much better ! Best decision ever !! Good luck !!
