Good Morning Everyone! I had a pretty good week, I dropped 3.5lbs this week. I have increased my work outs to 40 minutes in the morning and nice brisk 30 minute walk at night. I had part of my last fill removed on last Friday afternoon, because it was too much and I couldn't hold down water. It appears everything is going good now. I love to see so much success with everyone! Have a great weekend.

Wow that is great John! Keep up the good work!

Way to go Tulip that is wonderful!

That is great DAnna I use the protein shots as well. I don't do them as much as I did at first, but they do help. I need to get more into the excercise, I try to do wii fitness thirty minutes before work and ride the bike for 20-30 minutes a night. When I am able I walk 30 minutes after dinner. I just travel for work so much it seems to get hard to get in all the exercise. Just and FYI I go to vitamin world for my whey protein shots, if you buy a case you get a discount. Good Luck and keep in touch. I made my 50lb loss mark for Halloween, so I am happy, now to make a new mark!

These NSV victories are the best! I have started a pile in my close and I called it the too big. Nothing feels better than to put something on and have to change because it is too baggie!!!! I am not use to that ... it use to be because it is too tight! Way to go everyone I love to see and read everyone's success. Definately makes you feel at home. Have a great weekend!

Down 2.5 pounds. Had a fill yesterday, but they are going to take some out today. I can't even hold down water this morning. I just don't want him to take too much out. Oh well I broke that 50lb loss mark, now going for 60lb loss mark. Happy Halloween, Have a great week!

I am just glad it helped you. Good Luck tomorrow at your Tops meeting. I am sure you have shredded away some more pounds. I have just been really careful to stay with eating a lot of protein. I was told to take your current weight and multiply it by .37 to get the amount of protein you need. I am still working on more excercise and eating slower, but there have no hidden secrets except when I am not losing I evaluate my protein intake and never waste a snack on something without protein. Good Luck and keep in touch! I love reading everyone successes... this is my support group! :thumbup:

Congratulations Jason... I just noticed you got banned on my lucky day! I am sure that will be nothing but good luck for you! Keep up the good work.

I found this to help with the tickers and photos. I hope you find helpful. Congratulations on all your weight loss!

WTG both of you! I know it is amazing how some people do not say anything or appear not to notice, I think sometimes they are afraid to say anything. I know I walked into one of my schools last week and of course one of my smallest directors looked at me and said oh my gawd! you have lost a lot of weight! That made my day. Another NSV loss is when your snug clothes are become so baggy they look horrible on you. I cleaned out my closet and now it looks bare, but oh well I can deal with that if the pounds keep coming off. I am hoping for down 50lbs by Halloween. I am down 49 now so I got one to go this week. Good Luck everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! I lost two lbs this week and I only one pound away from my 50lbs loss mark, so I am hoping I can hit that next week. I worked a lot of evenings this week, so definately not enough walking. I am working from home a lot next week, so I thinking gym, gym, gym!! Have a great week everyone and way to go on those pounds falling off.

Well this was my slow week. I had weighed last week on Saturday so maybe that is why. I am haven't lost any thing this week, but there is always next week! :smile: Have a great week everyone!

I am down 5 lbs this week, but have to be really careful. I may have too much restriction now. I gotta remember to eat slowly or it is gross and painful. I am going to eat slow and chew well this week.

Shelby, How much protein are you getting. I had a few weeks that were really rough and then I learned here at lapband that if you take your current weight and multiply it by .37 it equals the amount of protein you need. When I increased my protein I started to lose like crazy and was rarely hungry until my second fill. Now I am hardly ever hungry. Good luck and a four pound loss is still a loss

Just a little behind this week. Sorry was traveling for work. I am a little tight with my second fill, so I been working on eating slower! Ouch it hurts when I don't. Good news is I have lost 3.5lbs this week. It was great to see how everyone is doing! Keep up the good work everyone!

congratulations.... that is wonderful

Hello, I have been here now for two months and just realized today that I have not properly introduced myself. My name is Dawn. I am married my wonderful husband on our four anniversary of dating. He is like a dream come true. He is the best thing that ever happened to my son and I. My son adores my husband and they have become best buddies. My son is twenty two and lives at home with us. He works full time and goes to school. The biggest joke at times is he is the reason they wrote the movie "Failure to Launch." It really doesn't matter we love him being at home with us. I am a trainer for a company that provides quality preschool services through corporate and franchised centers in the United States and eight other countries. I travel alot and I love my job. I ventured out and lost a ton of my weight about eight years ago when my mother passed away in her sleep at the young age of 54. Then had some life touch backs three year later like a divorce, lost my father to cancer and a horrific car accident that left me a right hip reconstruction. Hence I slowly put the weight back on until I am here again, nice and fluffy. I want more mobility back and the lapband is the tool to help me lose that weight again and can more mobility. I was banded 8/8/08. I was lucky to have such a lucky date for my band anniversary. I too have the Wii and I love it. My son bought me the Wii fitness board for my birthday right after I was banned. The scale is right on with the one at my doctor's office. I found the other games like boxing, bowling, and tennis can be just as active as the fitness board. Since hanging around here at lapbandtalk.com, I have found some great people and I love reading everyone's success stories. Keep up the great work everyone!:thumbup:

Good Morning All, I was on vacation the past few weeks. I did okay I didn't gain, so that was a good thing. I lost 2lbs this week. I get my second fill today. Good luck to everyone

cproctor... there is a posting on this site for ideas for protein drinks that will help with that two day liquid pre-op. Good Luck

Congratulations! Shamrockgirl.... I am so happy for you! I can't wait to get to under the 200 mark. I was on vacation the past 12 days... lost 2lbs... down total of 36.5 now ... have a good one everyone!

Well I got my first fill today!!!... I only lost 2lbs this two weeks, but hoping it will start moving again soon!

Way to go mississippigurl! I like two sizes down! Bmaria, I have found that all doctors have different diets they give out. I was on liquids for the first two weeks. Now I am on soft foods for the next 4-6 weeks. Call you doctor and get the suggestions and remember to be patient.

Heather, don't get discouraged... I lost a lot on my 10-day pre-op and then slowly have just lost the trickled down hill. I try not to weigh myself so much and that seems to help more. You will do great give your body time to heal.

Congratulations Jolin! That is an an awesome amount of weight to be lose so quickly! Has anyone had their first fill yet and has it made a huge difference? My first fill is coming on Friday and I am hoping it will get me going again. The weight is slowly coming down, but very slow... I try not to weigh in much, but on the wii it has you check in daily.

Best Buys stores usually get three every other week or so, I know you just have to check and check until you find one. Trust me your hunt will be well worth it. I truly believe you get a good work out playing the bowling, tennis and boxing just in the regular wii purchase.
