    A view from behind - November 2010 - 107 lbs Down

    I've been banded for a bit less than a year. Banded 12/03 of last year. I've been hitting the gym pretty regularly lately, but not at first, so it's been an up and down battle with the gym! No other surgeries yet, but I may look a lift (or two) when I'm at goal!

    4th of July Challenge!

    Count me in for 16.5 lbs. That will be about 2.5 lbs a week and bring me down to 235! Fingers Crossed!

    December Delights 2009

    Hi all - Well, first of all, it's been a while since I have posted on here and checked in with everyone. I realized this morning that 5 months ago today I had my LAP-BAND®® surgery. So, I wanted to post something and see how everyone is doing as they reach their 5 month mark. As of today: I have 8.3 ccs in a 14 cc band and think I have fairly good restriction, but might need a small fill at my next appointment. I have lost 73 lbs. :thumbdown: ( I was hoping for 75, but just missed it!) I still have a little over 100 to go until goal. I feel happier, healthier, and better than I have in years!

    December Delights 2009

    I'm in the same place with a bunch of you. Scale has been hovering at the same place (up and down 2 lbs.) for a few weeks now. I'm at 8 cc in a 14 cc band. I'm not really feeling restriction. I have had one of two 'stuck' episodes, but when I forget to chew well and it goes away after a minute or two. Other than that, no PB, no slime. And weight loss is stalled. I'm not eating bad, going to the gym 3-4 times a week, and still nothing. I'm really frustrated. I know I've lost a lot of weight so far, and don't get me wrong I'm thrilled about that. But I'm really frustrated that the scale is no moving right now. I was close to tears this morning when again, no movement. So - I'm counting calories again, counting exercise, and hoping that I see movement soon. Anyone go to a Lap Band Support Group? There's one at my surgeon tonight and I was thinking of going.

    CONGRATULATIONS!! This is definitely the place to toot your own horn!! :thumbdown:
  10. I'm going to add this challenge to the december delights social group and make a comment about it on the december delights thread. Not sure if everyone knows it's here and I bet there are others who would like to join!
  11. Pre-surgery - 20 lbs. Post-surgery - 31.5 lbs. Total of 51.5 lbs, but I had a higher starting weight, so I'm sure that influenced my weight loss.

    Valentine's Day Wt loss Challenge 2010

    Well, I wont' be making my goal. I had a pretty aggressive one of 30 lbs. given I just got banded in December (3rd) and am still working through Bandster Hell. Anyway, I did lose 17 lbs in the challenge and hope to increase that before Valentine's Day. Hopefully once I am feeling restriction, I will be able to drop the rest of the weight I wanted to lose for this challenge - and more!

    I am in the same place. Just about to 50 and my scale is STUCK, STUCK, STUCK. :cursing: UGH!! I'm trying to hit the gym tonight and drink TONS of water to see if I can get it moving again!

    New Joy - No problems with food yet, though after my second fill this week, I'm taking it easy! Oh yeah, and my tummy growls all the time too!! Viv - a BMR of 1374 especially with all the exercise you do seems extremely low. being as active as you are, I would say your BMR is somewhere closer to 2300. Which means that to lose 2 lbs. a week, you might want to ingest closer to 1300 calories per day. Though I see a lot of people on these forums who regularly eat around 900 calories, so what do I know!! I agree with Mel, maybe talk to your doctor or nutritionist about this. We are all moving closer to two months out from surgery (my two months was yesterday!), and I just wanted to say: WAY TO GO EVERYONE!

    I got my second fill today. I wasn't feeling restriction, so I was able to get an appointment and go back in. I had another 3cc's added, bringing my total to 6cc's in a 14cc band. This time I got to do a barium swallow to check the band and make sure I wasn't too tight. Everything looked ok. So... Liquids tonight, Mushies tomorrow, then I'll see how much restriction I have now.
  18. You look amazing. Congratulations!!
