You got that right!! At least we are not gaining. I feel like I am loosing inches tho. I have noticed a lot of my clothes are fitting loose the scale just isn't really reflecting it yet!! I just had my second fill last week. They told me it would take 3-4 fills before I really start seeing results! I hope thats true!!

thank you!! :blushing: I find myself liking to excersise now! Gotta love that feeling

My knees are doing a lot better! I just rested them a few days and they were good to go. I LOVE swimming and was just thinking to myself to look into water arobics. Too bad winter is around the corner bc my folks have a pool that I can use anytime but since its winter I have to find an indoor pool! That is great that you have the time to workout so much and good for you for sticking to it!! :blushing: I worked out yesterday on my wii fit with the new Jillian Michaels game. I LOVE it!

Thanks girl! Yeah it is harder to workout as much as I want too bc I work fulltime BUT I make sure to get some type of workout in at least 5 times a day. My second week after surgery I fell and busted both knees so I couldn't do any walking for a few days. Then my third week I got a sinus infection, ear infection, and stomach bug all at once so that delayed my workout too. How are you liking zumba? I have thought about doing that too.

Just curious of when everyone started really seeing the weight come off? I was banded on 9/20 and I have lost about 15 lbs since surgery? Is this about normal? I kind of thought it might be a little more. My surgeon said I am doing great. I just had my 2 fill last week and I feel a little restriction but not a lot. I am walking twice a week for 30-45 mins and doing a light workout 3 times a week for 30-45 mins. Doc said to give it about 8-10 weeks before bumping up the workout and that after about 4 fills I should start seeing more results. I'm just kind of confused on about how much you first loose and when you start really seeing it come off.

Yay we def have to stay in touch since we will be banded about the same time! The wait sucks but hey I can work with it since ins is willing to cover most of it!! :thumbdown: It is realllllllllly tough trying to stop smoking but now since I am a month out I am motivated to continue to NOT smoke...It is kinda like a lil game I am playing with myself to see how long I can keep going! Good Luck to ya and like I said lets stay in touch!!

Wow that is AWESOME!! 14 years! Way to go!! :thumbdown:

AWWWW yay too you too!!! 7 months that is awesome! Yup cold turkey is hard but once you get past those first few weeks it is alllll worth it!:thumbup:

hey girl!! how did you surgery go?!?! hope all is well with ya

hey guys just wanted to share...i made it a MONTH without smoking!! im sooooo proud of myself!! it was actually not as tough as i thought it would be!! i had my second doc apt last week and they said i had actually lost 4.5 lbs since i had stopped smoking which i thought was great bc most people have told me they gained weight when they stopped!!! :thumbup: jsut had to share!!!!!!!!

i totally agree...band...then baby! that's my plan. i am also 32 and hoping by this time next year to be a lot healthier and working n a baby. my doctor said i would also be better off to wait till after the band. he said its safer for me and baby!
