I feel great and I love working out! I hope you all are having good success with your lap band. I am having ups and downs but im glad i got the lap band.

Can anyone tell me how do I start a thread? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I started at 337 got down to 247 back up to 264 with 5.1 cc i have a 10cc band and for some reason my stomach or band gets way to tight when i reach 5.3 cc strange very strange im so frustated because I want to lose another 50lbs before march which is my 40th birthday.. any reccomendations? i also go to the gym 4days out of the week and i have a personal trainer ..I just started in September

I am trying soo hard to get to my 100lbs loss I got banded 1-21-09 and I am having issues most of it is my fault but my band will not allow me to go over 5.3cc I have a 10cc band so discouraging

You will eventually hold on and keep moving. It will fall off. I am at a plateau also i have been eating and eating and i have gained but I am at the gym 4 day of the week and im doing my best to keep it moving.

I am so proud of you. May I ask what type of foods you are eating and how much? Thanks. I ned alot of help and encouragement I have had my band for almos two years in Jan and Ihave only 5.1 cc in my 10cc banc my stomach does not allow my band to go over 5.3 for some odd reason.:smile:

I wish u all the luck. I too have failed and have gained 20lbs back eating the wrong foods but i have joined the gym and have a personal trainer and now I just need to go back and get a fill hopefully that will work for me Im tired of being fat i need alot of encouragment as well.

Iam going on 2 years and still have alot to lose.....i lost a total of 90lbs and i now im back at 70lbs uugh its been a struggle but i have to admit I have been eating alot of junk but i am excercising and lifting weights but I need to do better with my eating habits asap
