Hey

How are you doing? Last time I heard from you, you were sore. I hope all is well. Keep in touch

Thank you for your comment. I work out a lot! I do 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmil a day which normally is around 3 miles a day. Then I do 50 min of circuit training with weights to tone up my muscles. As far as eating I will just tell you what I had for today

B-light yogurt 6 oz

L-Whole grain pita with 1 tsp mustard turkey and tomato

D- Grilled chicken, cabbage, strawberries

I do not eat any fried foods, mayo, or fatty dressings. and the only thing that I drink is water and skim milk for my protein.

I do still do my protein drinks. I have never been taken off of them. The doctor actually up my dose from 2 scoops to 3 scoops. How is your journey going? You are looking good! Keep up the good work!

Hi I am sorry for responding to your question so late. With all the exersize it is hard to find time to get on here. But anyway losing 130 lbs is never easy but I dedicated one year of my life to exersize everyday and eat the right things. I won't eat mayo, fried foods, or fat dressings. I only drink water and skim milk. My surgeon told me that I would be lucky to lose 100 lbs. As of right now I have lost 147 so I guess I showed him. They call me their poster child which really makes me feel good. Believe in yourself and never give up and you will get what you want out of this whole process. Even if you just walk everyday it is better than sitting on the couch eating Dibs ice cream watching TV. Good luck to you! Keep me posted on your progress

Insurance waiting can be so nerve wrecking! It sucks because you just want to be sure that you are not going through everything for nothing. Don't give up and keep on them! It will be worth it. Good luck to you on your band journey!

Hi

I just saw your pic comment and yes I lost 45 lbs before surgery and now I have lost 120 lbs total. I have 30 lbs to reach my goal! I am very excited. How is your journey going?

Keep in touch. Let me know how your journey goes I love to hear about peoples stories. Don't worry about anything you will do great and you will love it! Best wishes

Hi Nichole

I was banded on 9/24/08. At 6 months I lost 115 lbs! The band is whatever you want to put into it. I work out a lot and I do not eat fried or fatty foods. I won't eat any fatty mayo or dressings. I only drink milk and water. (Continued)

I would rather eat my calroies than drink them. I run on the treadmil for 2 miles at lunch and then do a 50 min workout at home. I will do 100 sit ups before I go to bed at night. It is all in what you put into it. I had a little trouble when I went in to get a fill. I was 5 months and just going in for my first fill. They found out that my port had flipped and I would have to go back in for surgery to get it stiched back in. After the revision surgery (two weeks later) I was able to get my first fill. After the fill I kept having problems with certain foods. I would have to throw up about every other day. I told my doctor and the suggested that I come in to have some fluid taken out. The doctors weighed me and found out that I was losing 5 lbs a week. Which is great weight loss for me but I told them I would rather not lose it that way. So they took out .10CC of fluid and I have been doing great again! I am on my average 3 lbs weight loss a week and I can eat anything so far.

Hey Ashley

How are you doing?? Are you finally banded? Good luck to you on your journey I hope to hear from you soon!

Keep up the good work Speed! Great pics

My Surgery went fine. Hopefully now my port is in the right way and I will be able to get a fill. I go in on the 24th to see how I am healing. I hope all goes well for you with your fill. Hopefully they can hit it on the first try! Keep in touch

Thank you for the complement. I am doing a lot of exersize and I don't eat fatty foods such as fast food, fried foods, fatty mayo ect. If I snack on anything I eat apple slices instead of chips. I run on the treadmil for 2 miles a day. Then I will do either Firm total body or Jillian Micheals Fat zones for strength training and I finish by doing 100 sit ups. If the weather is nice I will add an evening walk around the park for another 2-3 miles. How is your journey going? Keep in touch

You go girl! 71 lbs is great! Keep up the good work and keep us posted with pics!

Wow Speed

You are looking great! Keep up the good work!

Hey Blue

How are you? I am down 99 lbs so far and I just found out that my band is upside down. I am going in for surgery again tomorrow. I am looking forward to my first fill. I am going on 5 months now. Any new pics? You are amazing!

Hey

I just checked my messages. I am so slow! I found out on the 29th that my port is upside down! I am actually going in for surgery tomorrow. I am hoping to lose another 50 lbs if I can. I hope to see you at the next meeting! It looks like you are doing good! Keep up the good work

Hey

I am glad to hear that surgery went well! How are you doing? Where are your new photos? You have to show yourself off! I hope all is well and I hope you have a great Valentines day!

Hi

I eat normally an apple for breakfast, a banana w/ a tsp of reduced fat peanut butter on it for lunch, 2oz of grilled or baked chicken breast with 2oz of fruit and 2oz of veggies for dinner. I normally take my protein drink about 20 min. after I do my work out. I will run for 1.9 miles on the treadmil, 100 situps, either Firm total body sculpt or Jillian micheals fat zone for 50 min. I am really loving my band but I just found out that my port is upside down I have never had a fill and when I finally went in to get one I found out that it is upside down. I will have to go in for surgery tomorrow. I am really bummed. Have you been banded yet? Good luck to you and your journey!

Hey Girl

I am doing good and don't worry it will get better! Just think you can lose 10 pounds just by laying on the couch. It will be worth it. Be strong and I will look forward to your updated photos!
