After lapband, how many people really saw a increase in energy??

I mean how ever much you weighed, when you lost your first 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, ect.. Could you actually get up of the couch and do more things then you could when u were heavy, I have a lot of back trouble and I've been feeling kind of lazy and some people even say when you loose 50 lbs that's 50 lbs ur carrying around with you anymore (imagine if u put a backpack on with 50lbs inside of it) it would make things a lot harder for you to do with that extra weight.... I don't know lol, I'm Just feeling very held down and I'm hoping after weight loss when im in that size 6 I will be able to feel like I will be able to do a lot more without being so tired and constricted. I'm only 26, and most of the weight came from having kids and just eating and eating I've done all kinds of yoyo dieting and weight loss crap and nothing I mean nothing works and I've heard and saw so many success stories I knew that lapband would be perfect for me! I have all my clearances already done and go time is sept 16 I wish it was tomorrow but all good things come to those who wait! :) thanks all for your input! Have a blessed day!

    I was banded in Aug of last year. I have lost 56 lbs. the difference is amazing. I have so much more energy. Before all I wanted to do was sit and watch tv. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything

When I was fat I would forget I was fat and try to go out and be active and I got reminded VERY quickly that I was fat. I was reminded that I'm 38 recently and for some reason I still think of myself more like 28. When I go out and do something it's SO much easier without the weight. I can get in shape with so much less effort and carry stuff and get around with ease. I still have days where I feel lethargic but most days if I want to get up and go I can without getting exhausted after 10 minutes.

I definitely have more energy. I'm down 60 lbs and I truly for feel brand new

I can't sit still, before I worked and laid down , now I go go go . My kids are the happiest because now we for things together, before I was just too tired all the time

A big YES on more energy. Getting up out off the couch was a really adventure. Pain in all my joints.

Now I can keep up with the grand children.

Tell me abt it. Getting off the couch was a catastrophe but I'm sooo much better now just being 24 lbs down. I can't wait to feel the 100 lbs loss !

Oh yea, just ask my husband (not just the sex part).....

The other day I bent down to get something out of the corner cupboard in the kitchen, had to swat way down & reach. When I stood up hubby said, "You couldn't of don't that a year ago." Oh so true.

I am more active in the garden, I take stairs all the time now, Yes I have way more energy!

I love my band!
