Aww thanks.

When did you get banded?

Hello there,

Looks like we have a few things in common. I had my surgery 02/24/09 and lost about 29 lbs so far as well. Congrats! I am finally feeling the lapband benefits with the 4th fill as well. Are you exercising? I am not that much and that's probably why I have the slow weight loss of about 5 lbs a month. I kinda eat what I want too. I was watching what I ate for a few months there, now I have kinda fell off the wagon. Got to get back up.

Hello,

I am 5 '1, 248 lbs, just got banded 02-24-09. I just wanted to know. I know it's common sense, but I think I just need a little nudge in my behind from someone other than my boyfriend. I lost 10 lbs and have not lose any more for the last 3 weeks now. My first fill is in 2 weeks. I have only been working out about 1-2x a week on my Wii Fit and my boyfriend keeps telling me I have to work out more than that to lose.

Is it true that you lose more once you have your fill? Should I start really kicking ass and working out hard already 4 weeks out? Well 5 weeks on tuesday? Thank you.

Hey girly,

Haven't been on here for awhile. I am doing ok. A lot of ups and downs. Struggling to get back into exercising again. Losing slowly because of it. Finally had the 4th fill a month ago and it's finally working. Or at least I don't eat as much and can see the difference.

How have you been? Lookin good in your pic.

Hey there,

I just got my first fill on monday and I'm a bit upset. I'm getting used to the whole chewing really good so that the food doesn't get stuck in my chest thing, but I still don't have restriction. At least I don't feel like I do. I think I should give it a chance but I am feeling like regretting getting the band instead of the gastric because of the maintanence after. When is a good time for the next fill? Should I give it a chance to set in a few weeks first?

Hey there,

When did you get your surgery and congrats on losing so much weight already! I too have been a bit lazy lately with working out and eating right. I feel guilty but it's so hard, when my boyfriend is a bad influence and lets me eat what I want. I know I should control it. It's hard sometimes.

When did you get banded? I was banded 02-24-09. First fill 04-11-09.

Hey there! Does your doctor give you fills under an xray or just has you drink water and when you burp he knows when to stop giving you saline solution?

I have had 3 fills and have no restriction, jst trying to figure some stuff out. Maybe it's too soon. I don't know. I'm always starving between meals.

I am so proud of you! You look great in the pics to the right you posted! Can't say it enough, you are an inspiration!

How are you doing by the way?

I have not found any protein drinks that I like other than Carnation Instant Brekfast which does not have much protein and has sugar (I can't find sugar free ones).

Do you like the Isopure or do you have to get used to it?

You have lost a lot of weight. I can't wait to lose more weight already. I need to be patient though. First fill on monday.

I started at 247 lbs and have lost about 10 lbs so far, but I got baded on 02-24-09. I have to lose about 100 lbs. or more if possible with exercise.

62 lbs is great! I am happy for you. How do you feel losing so much weight?

Definetely losing more weight now. I am losing about 5 lbs a month but go for weeks without losing sometimes. I stopped working out for the last few weeks and I know I would lose more if I worked out. That is what I need to work on at this point.

Haven't been on here in forever!

Hello there, yeah ask me whatever you need or want to know. Nice to meet ya. Sorry I haven't been on this for a long time.

Hello! How have you been?

Hey girly how have you been?
