Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Starting over and less than confident - could use some help!
sxevan9 replied to Momma_oz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't think I can be a mentor at this point, but I can be your buddy. I was banded 10/2008 and have lost about 65lbs to date. I thought I would have been further along at this point, but I must take responsibility for not being as focus as I should. I decided not stress about it, but start working hard. I read on another post that the band will only do 10% of the work the other 90% is up to you. I have only been putting in 25% of work and now I have to get myself straight. I didn't go through surgery not to make my goal. With that being said we can complete this journey together. -
Does anyone else throw up at every meal?

I find that I throw up if I don't chew my food well. What I have been trying to do is cut my food in small pcs. that way I don't have as much chewing to do if I put a large amount of food in my mouth. -
Just saw your message. For some reason I don't get email notifications when someone leaves a comment. I'm with you struggling. This is much harder than I expected. I honestly didn't put as much effort as I should at the start and didn't work out at all. Now I'm working out and trying to watch what I'm eating a little more, but I'm still tinkering around 50lb lost. When I go and get fills I have to justify more which drives me crazy... but I'm in it for the long haul so time will tell.

Hey girl! How is your progress going? I am deep in the struggle. I just don't understand.

EA Sports Active Personal Trainer for the Wii
sxevan9 replied to Blaze21's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I started the 30 day challenge on the EA sports active yesterday and OMG it is brutal. I'm moving around the house this morning like a turtle. My least favorite is those darn squats.... HATE IT.. but overall it was a AWESOME work out and I'm determined to complete the 30 days. I've re-comitted myself to ME and I'm trying to eat better with my band and work out .. which I was lacking before. I will keep everybody updated on the 30 day challenge -
I didn't hit mine till I got to 8.5. I was losing consistantly every week. I did hit a plateau but I seem to moving past it now and the scale is going back down.

I just ran across your profile on the Realize post. First I wanted to give you props you have done great. I'm also in the DMV (Suitland MD) I got my band end of October last year I have a question when did you finally hit your strive, sweet spot. I'm still eating more than I think I should and I have 6.5 cc in my band.

Don't beat yourself up about what has happened, you can't change the past. Each day give us an opportunity to start fresh. Go back to the doctors and get a fill and start from scratch. You already know you can do it, you proved it by losing the 40lbs. Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress.

EA Sports Active Personal Trainer for the Wii
sxevan9 replied to Blaze21's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I ordered the EA Sports Active last week and can't wait for it to arrive. I've been losing slowly and know when I had some work outs to my routine it will help kick start me... I will post as soon as it arrives. -
Okay I had my 3rd fill and I gained 2lbs. Now I must accept resonsibility, because I know I have made the worse food choices this past six weeks. I've even been drinking, wine :thumbdown: and mojitos. Forgive me (I'm holding my head down in shame). Now I can two 1 of two things at this point. Feel sorry for myself or be greatful that it was only a 2lb weight gain and get off my butt and do what I know is right. I choose to get off my butt and do what I know is right. I didn't go through all this for nothing I tell you that. The surgery, time off of work, the money I've invested So today is a new day for me and I'm going to start making the right choices. and move forward. My birthday is July 23rd and I will be 43 years old. My current weight is 262,. My goal is to be at 225 by my birthday. That is a weight lost of 37lbs in 3.5 months. That is something that I should be able to do. So here I go... Hope to hear from you ladies soon. Our board was one of the most happening spots and now I hear crickets when I sign on ...
