Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

<p>For those of you who might be interested, I have started a weight loss challenge under the Lap-Band Support Group threads. This challenge is going to start today Labour Day and will last until Thanksgiving Day (November 22). Yes this is posted on the general threads and thus we are following the U.S. holiday. I joined their previous challenge which started in July to Labour Day and I found it quite inspirational. I hope you can join our friends south of the border for this challenge.</p>

To access this challenge click on Lapbandtalk home page, look for Main Lap-band forums and then click on lap-band support. The thread to the challenge is there. Best of luck to you all.

No, no, I'm sorry. I didn't realized that when you said "I started" that you meant that YOU actually started/created the challenge, so I just joined the first Sept to Thanksgiving challenge I saw! I was just givin' you a hard time, but not for real :eek:

Well I took the plunge too! I really am feeling the need for a good swift kick!! I have not been gaining this summer but I have not been losing either, I am getting a bit concerned as I am not at 7cc in my band and not feeling a lot of restriction yet. am I some kind of freak of nature or what??? Does anyone have this much in their band? I am going to call the clinic and see what they think. My concern is what happens just how much can this band be filled??

So Yes I am taking that challenge and really looking forward to seeing results!

Call the clinic but I think the slower the fills the better cause then you'll know when you reach your "sweet" spot - restriction but being able to eat what you're suppose to eat without pb. You seem to be doing well with weight loss - 38lbs gone YEAH!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
