Hello to all my friends in Colorado! Hi Everyone Well I had my surgery on 12/13/2005 and I weighted 320 lbs. I got down to 260 lbs. Within the last 4 months I regained 35 lbs so now I am back up to 295 lbs. My position at my job change and now I sit behind a computer all day compare to walking all day before. My shift change,now I work from 8 am to 5 pm. So when I get home I am tired and don’t want to do anything. Before I worked from 2pm to 10 pm and I always went to the gym in the morning. My eating habits went out to left field. I just got back from the doctors office and had attended a basic 101 eating class for bariatric patients. Hopefully that will get me back into the swing of things. My goal this year is to get down to 240 lbs.

Anyone try Turbo Jam???

My eating habbits are out of control.As of today 10-21-06 I will regroup and get back on track

Is anyone just doing weight training and losing weight? If so what are you doing sets,reps and how many days a week? I have a heel spur and cant do cardio like I want to. Thanks

The doc put my goal weight @ 217.. My goal is 200 lbs ( My weight when I was in the Army).

Who has a 10cc band and how much of a fill do you have? I have 7.5 cc and minor restriction.. I think once I get to 8-8.5 I should be good...

I had a fill last Wednesday and I am just starting to feel some restriction. Hopefully it will continue. Joe

How do you know if you stretched your pouch?

Has anyone thought of getting a tattoo of a lap band when you reach your goal? I Know it sounds funny, But................

Hi Vicki.. Im ready!

Who had surgery during the month's of oct/nov/dec 2005? And how much weight have you lost? Thanks

Got another fill today. I am now up to 7. 5 cc... Hope to do better this month....

I have a 10cc band and have 6cc in. I havent gotten a fill for 3 months and have gained 20 lbs... I will get a fill on Wednesday.. Keep up with those fills when needed... Dont do what I did and wait...If you need a fill, get it.... Joe

Photonut.. It just gets better and better...

Hi There I am in the same boat. I gained 17 lbs. Went from 339 to 260 lbs and now back up. I will get another fill in august. I know I need to get back to working out and eating small meals again. I agree with everyone..go get a fill and start working out again...That is what I am going to do...I would hate to get back up to 300 lbs....again later Joe
