I would have started exercising sooner. I would have at least started a regular walking routine right after being banded.

That was cute. Thanks for sharing.

I got my first fill at four weeks.

I've only tried an egg roll since being banded and had no problems.

Congratulations!

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

I have lost 101 pounds and I still feel fat. Granted, I don't feel like I did when I was 257 lbs, but nonetheless, I feel fat. I have about 20 left to lose before I reach goal. Everyone around me has said that I have lost too much weight. Mind you, I am still overweight for my height. Hopefully when I get to goal, my head will catch up with my body.

I watched the first episode and I found it to be boring as well.

What brand of calcium gummies are they? I can't take the sweetness of the calcium chews.

I don't know if you are using the optifast power or the ready to drink. I found the powder tastes gross, but I liked the ready to drink optifast. I added a little frozen fruit or 1/2 of a banana in the shakes. That made them taste better.

Here's a link to what some of the people on this board are eating everyday: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f9/share-ideas-what-did-you-eat-today-36828/

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/before-after-lap-band-surgery-pictures-only-4642/ Please look at some of the before and after pics. There a lot oe people on this board who have lost a lot of weight with lapband. I had my surgery on July 8, 2008. I have lost over 100 lbs and I'm still losing. Good luck with your decision.

My nutritionist just old me about the calcet lemon chews. I was thinking about trying them. I just hope they aren't too sweet.

The realization hasn't come for me yet. I'm so far from where I want to be physically.

Finally at 99 lbs lost. Still waiting for that forst 100.

The EA sports active is cool. You can use it with or without the balance board. It comes with a ton of exercises with different levels of intensity. The resistance band that comes with it, is a little lightweight. You most likely will need to buy a resistance band with more resistance.

What does your routine entail now?

Mine is Joe.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

I don't have keystone east now but I have keystone mercy. They are based on the same coverage. Your arthritis and herniated discs are considered co-morbidities, you should be ok. May I ask what doctor you are seeing. I see dr. Ramachandra in darby.

Middle finger you and good bye.

I'm talking about life experience. My life experience is very well beyond 29, so hop off.

I don't know anyone who would survive an hour in my shoes, much less lived my life the last 29 years.

I agree that you should switch doctors. I don't care if you only lost 2 lbs in 2 years. No one deserves to be put down and spoken to that way, especially, not by a doctor. You or your insurance or both, are paying him for his services and it doesn't sound like he's doing his job correctly. And congrats on your weight loss.
