I want to give you guys an update. So I have been logging everything I eat and I also started working out again. Just wanted to share that. I will keep you posted!

First and foremost I want to thank everyone for your replies. It has given me a lot to think about. I have taken a little bit from everyone. I have decided to start fresh as if I just got out of surgery and also embrace the fact that this is definitely a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. Again thank you!....I will keep you guys posted.

Here is my story briefly...I was banded on August 25, 2010 and thus far I have lost 40 lbs and I feel like a total failure. Now I do have restriction but I am able to eat whatever I want just not as much as I would have before lapband. I really really do not want to give up. I need some guidance....Please help!!

Thanks for the reassurance Amy. Question how long does it take you to walk 5 miles?

I want to join the challenge but I didnt understand the spreadsheet. I am currently 262. goal of 5 lbs a week.

Hello Everyone. So I was banded on Aug. 25th I went in at 282 lbs. At my last doctor's visit on Sept. 13th I was at 262 lbs. I have my first fill scheduled for Oct. 7th. I want to reach a goal of 230 lbs by Nov 12th. Do you guys think its possible?

it was just a simple question. And it was taken to another level.

One I don't use pot. Two I only do hookah once in a blue moon and not in public places! @ Elcee I am perfectly healthy I am just overweight. I did WLS to lose the weight and avoid getting any medical problems. If I were smoking hookah on the regular than I would say maybe there's a problem but its not the case.

Yea its definitely not everyday! But jeez I have a very active social life. I can't drink yet. So I will puff puff on some hookah! :blushing:)

I mean its something that's not done on the regular. Its once in a blue

Hookah is an arabic thing. They put flavored tobacco and charcoal and you smoke it!

Does anyone smoke hookah? How long after surgery can you smoke hookah?

Congrats to everyone on their weightloss success! I was banded on aug. 25th and I lost 21 lbs so far!

Well I must report that I have lost 13 lbs since I was banded on Aug 25th. The hardest part has been getting thru liquid diet stage. But now I'm on stage 2 pureed diet. Congrats to all who have been banded. Good luck in this new journey!
