Everyone's weight lose is theirs! It's so personal. To each his or her own. Just be happy!

Im stuck!! Haven't lost in 2wks n I know I need to figure out how to fit exercise in my schedule, but right now Im feeling a lil discouraged. Im afraid of falling back into "old" habits. The protein shakes Im using r getting old n after researching I plan to order the unjury. What is everyones diet like at this point? Im not feeling restriction n finding it to easy to eat.

Could you have possible all ready fallen back in bad habits and you aren't realizing it? I had to learn to cut certain things out of my diet drastically because I was abusing them-chocolate Pasta soda. They will be added back in at a later date but under moderation and lighter versions. Stop and regroup and seriously think about what your eating and don't just rely on the band and restriction because that's only a small part of it or what I call "assistance" because most of it is up to you. Start really small with exercise- park far from the door when you go shopping, take the stairs instead of an elevator, start very small walks in your neighbors at the same time everyday. You will be surprised !

I am down 30 since surgery on 11/29. I have lost a total of 60 since I started with my nutritionist. I have had 2 fills so far and I'm at 6cc. I go to the gym a few times a week but I am at a very slow pace in the exercise classes. I like to use the treadmill and elliptical and walk outside when the weather allows me to. I miss the occasional beer/soda and nachos/junk food lol, but I know the sacrifices will be worth it in the end. Oh, and the only food I have not tried post surgery is steak. I've even had a pork chop, chicken, veal, and a hot dog.

I am 13 weeks since banded and down 50 lbs. Feeling great 15 more to go. Sure it want be as easy as the 50 was. Love my decision and will make this work. Since I had the plication I have not had a fill. But don't feel like I need one yet. I hate exercise! Bad attitude but cant seem to get motivated. Good luck everyone!

Hi!

Was banded November 16/2012 and down 64lbs last time I weighed myself on the weekend. I haven't had any fills yet.. But am seeing my surgeon in March sometime so we'll see what happens.

Best wishes to everyone :-)
