I started doing zumba and my instructor said to eat after because your metabolism is still working full gear. I will usually drink a little protein shake (muscle milk) before i exercise because it helps me keep my energy.

girls. i needed to read this, im totally plateaued! I feel like I'm doing a lot of things right, but its discouraging! i guess we will just keep our heads up!

Yeah im still super glad I had the procedure done. I'm about 50lbs down, from my heaviest, still dont think i look that different, but it feels great! I feel like i'm eating normal, but smaller portions, i need to step up my game. But that really was my ultimate goal, to make better decisions, but still lead a normal life. Congrats on the amazing weight loss!! My jaw dropped! thats outstanding!

Hey Allie! Thanks for the message. I started student teaching in September and I have been super busy so I haven't been online. I am doing really well with the band so far and I'm really happy about how things are going. I've lost 87 pounds now (30 before surgery, the rest since surgery which was June 1) and I feel great! I'm able to do more, I'm happier, and I keep begin told how great I look. It's really nice! How are you doing with everything? How's life? How is the band working for you? Are you still happy you had the band put in?

I wasnt ignoring your post! I totally suck at going on my own profile lol! I read this at the perfect time though. I am ready to amp things up. I've had two fills, but now instead of pizza im struggling with eating past the feeling of being full. How are you doing on fills. do you feel hungry? cuz i definitely do! stupid old habits are sneaking back up!

Hello, I am also a June bug and read your post about making bad choices and pizza. I honeslty almost hit the floor bc I too am having the same problem with myself and pizza, AHHHHHH. Funny thing is, our weights are almost identical. And yes I do think that 30 pounds in 2 months is great. I need motivation as well, I feel like I am just accepting the slow weight loss. I need a wake up call now. I get so mad at myself too when I slip and eat something bad, that I think go ahead and eat a little more. My spiral needs to stop and I need to work harder. just thought I would share.

nope. im still satisfied with the lap band 100%. The weight loss isnt as fast (but healthy), and the lap band is a great tool.

The first two weeks post op were great. Was never hungry, couldn't eat much, and was starting to walk a lot more. The 4 weeks after that? I was starting to dwindle. No excuses. Started eating things I shouldn't. Wasn't eating slow. I had no repercussions, so I was being a bit naughty. I was actually hoping for some! In my first two weeks, I lost 12lbs, the last four weeks, 4.5. Not much! I think I let it go to my head too much. "Well, i'm not going to lose weight without a fill anyway, so why behave?" WOW! it feels good to voice that. I was hiding from accepting that. I had my first fill today; besides having to wait forever (due to a lazy secretary) it went great! It hurt a bit, am a bit sore in hindsight, but over all i'm excited! I have to do 2 days of liquids, then 2 days of pureed, then 2 days of soft food. If my body handles only having liquids, maybe i'll try it a bit longer. Right now, as i type, my tummy is growling! Goals: 1. walk 1hr, 3x/week 2. ATLEAST 1 protein shake a day 3. Drink tons of water! 4. keep a food log!
