Well I have not posted anything on lapbandtalk.com for a few months. I had my surgery done in August and I am loving it. I was at 370 on my surgery date and now I am down to 309. It is great but I keep thinking I should be doing more. I try to work out at least three times a week. But I feel like I am hitting a wall (which I know can happen). I don't think I am getting enough protein in my diet but it is hard to eat when i am not hungry. I asked my DR. about it and said just keep on doing what I am doing. I know my DR does not like the idea have drinking protein shakes but I am beginning to this I need to. With all that being said, I have decided to enter myself into the Pittsburgh Marathon in May. I know it is crazy but I think I can do it. Ok, I am done for now. Let me how is everybody is doing with their weight loss. I love to read people's blog about how their life is change for the good.

Well I am going to set my first goal to be 50 miles and I guess I will go from there. Thank you everybody this is pretty cool. The Lapband is the best thing I have ever done in my life.

Ok I never did this Mile Challenge but I workout everyday so I am think I should try this. What would be a good goal for being my first time counting my miles. Also what miles count? Thank you Kevin

Keep up the good work. I found the more I worked out the more I lost. i have lost 50lbs in 2 months. (8/17/09). Good luck on your jouney. I love coming on lapbandtalk if I have any questions or just want to get something off my mind. all the people on here is great.

Hello everybody I have not been on the blogs for a few weeks. School has been crazy so I really did not have much time to myself. I hope everybody is doing great. I am down 49lbs since my surgery on 8/17/09. I feel great. I have my two month appointment next week and I would like to reach 50lbs. I don't think I am getting all my protein in everyday but I am not that hungry. My surgeon does not like protein drinks but I am think I may need to add one to my diet. Does anybody know of a good protein drink that actually taste good too? Well I am off to the gym to meet up with my trainer for a great hour workout. Keep up the great work everybody.

I agree you need to eat more to burn more. Plus are you working out. I found that the more I workout the better the numbers are on the scale. You can do it just stay focused to your goal. Good Luck

I just checked out that website and I am in on this. I will start on Monday. After getting my lapband surgery I have been hooked on working out. I am going to show this to my personal trainer on monday. I think I can do this. Thank you for posting this. Keep up the good work.

Ok I have lost 35 lbs since my surgery and 80 lb all together which is great. I sometimes stop what ever I am doing and think back to when I had the extra weight on me and I try to remember how I felt doing the same thing back then. It is the small things that get me too like: putting on my shoes before going to workout, just working out(I LOVE TO WORKOUT NOW), and how about taking a shower.I am not always bumping into the wall or wishing we had a bigger shower so I could actually move around during my shower. It is the small things in life that I cant get over how much easier they are getting to do. I cant even imagine what it will be like when I reach my goal. I was think if anybody reads this drop me line and let me know what kind of things make you take a step back think WOW I cant believe how much easier this is to do. Thank you for reading my blog and good luck with reaching your goals!!!:tongue_smilie:

Well I had my first fill on Monday. I cant say I enjoyed it. I am not a fan of needles and to see the needle that they were going to put into me almost made me sick. Once they had the big needle in my stomach my port kept on move around so the doc. could not get the needle in so the had to stop and take xrays with this needle hanging out of my stomach. I know this is normal but for me WOW. This happen twice and final he was able to hit the port. I am cant believe the difference it made. I LOVE IT. I am still workout like crazy. Well I go back in a month to see if I need another fill. Good luck everybody with your reaching your goals.
