Yes I feel much much better!

Good morning and welcome to LBT!!! Any questions or concerns let me know!!! I can refer you to docs in the DFW area...I was banded there )

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

Welcome and good luck on surgery day!!

Welcome to LBT...

Thanks! Just know that any temporary stall is just a blink in the rest of your life! It's great that you go to the gym like that...I am going to start jogging (or power walking lol) in the mornings, and try to do stuff like push-ups, lunges, crunches, etc. in the evenings. Alternating days. Because I really need to tone and that's the only way I can do it I guess.

Thanks for adding me as a friend...I hope that you are feeling better and that you are "drinking" your hunger away! LOL Let me know how you are doing

Hey lady...haven't seen you post in a while on your Rave thread could you give us an update? Hoping that all has and is going well with you!!!

Thank you sweetie!!! It's a long road but I wouldn't have it any other way! )

Thank you so much for the pic comment!

Thanks for the photo comment! I am about 5'6" (the people with me in that pic are much shorter lol) and my starting weight was 280/size 22. My doctor had told me that 170 was a good target weight but now I'm at 160-165 (depending on what I eat that week) and I still need to tighten up some fatty areas. But I am excited and ecstatic with my weight loss and sometimes cannot believe my eyes either. Good luck with your journey!!

Thank you for the lovely pic comment! And congrats on being in onederland it's amazing isn't it!!

Thanks! Good luck...hope the date comes in soon. Loose skin isn't a problem really it's still some loose/jiggly fat like on my arms/thighs/stomach that I don't like. I haven't been able to get in the gym like I need to but I've heard that toning with weights/resistance bands is what helps along with drinking plenty of water. The good part is that since the weight loss is gradual that many skin problems that people have with gastric bypass we don't suffer as much with lapband. I hope everything goes well for you!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Good luck on your journey...it is a marathon so buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the ride!

Thank you so much for your compliment!!! How long ago were you banded and how are you doing? Sorry for the late response but I am so busy with work I can't be on here like I want to be!

Thank you so much for your photo comment!

Thank you so much diva!

Thanks so much!!

See!! I told you!! Congrats on losing again, that's so great! I'm okay, still trying to get into a routine of doing weights and resistance to tighten up some of this flappy fat on my arms and tummy lol. Hope all is going well with you!

Hey you!! Thanks a lot...I had slipped a little also but got a fill in January so I am back on it...I need to tone up my arms, tummy, and legs to get ready for swimsuit summer!! I'm very excited actually if only I can get rid of all the jiggles lol. Yes I won't EVER be back to the past either and that makes me smile. Have a great week!!

I'm great how are you? My progress is good for right now, I have been slacking on going to the gym. Don't be concerned!! The first 30-45 days you should focus more on following the doctor's diet and healing...weight loss during that time is just a bonus. Weight fluctuates constantly, I recommend weighing only every week or so. Your fills are more about how food moves through the band and not your weight...just talk to your doc about your concerns. Congrats on your loss so far!!

I'm not sure exactly...my weight loss was gradual and sometimes at a stand still then the next thing you know I would lose 5 pounds easy. It's a marathon not a sprint so just stick to eating right and exercising when you can and the weight will come off

Thank you so much for your comment...good luck on your journey...keep us updated!!

Thank you for your comment....congrats on your surgery date!!! Can't wait to see you shrink!!!
