What I Love About the LAPBAND



Recommended Posts

I love that I can eat virtually anything that I loved before. I just eat less of it. God must have known what He was doing on this one.

I have to confess. At this point, I am still not getting a lot of exercise. It is soooo icy outside and my treadmill is freakin' out. Just think how much more I could be losing if I was actually doing something!

I love my band!

Well done on your loss-keep up the good work,the exercise will soon follow as the lbs drop off!

The thing I love most about my band,is somedays when my willpower is low-and the easiest thing in the world to do is eat and eat.....my bands willpower is always there and reminds me I cant! Best friend in the world that. lol

Happy banding.

I agree with sistasassy. I eat what I ate before but so much less. My calorie intake is less than 1,200a day, before the band it was around 3,500 calories a day.

I can exercise and enjoy it now. Before it was a chore and it was hard with the excess weight.

32 Pounds gone and so much more to go, but I am looking forward to the journey.

Enjoyed reading this! What I love about my band is when my willpower is zip.... the band steps up! I am 6 months out from surgery, and I am still in the "learning" stage, but I have learned to recognize my "stopping point"........... which is a BIGGIE! Good luck all! and hope to see "less of you" soon!

I have been a wimp on the exercise lately as well. It is just sooo darn cold I don't want to go outside to even go to the gym. I feel your pain.

I haven't had a fill yet so I have been able to eat everything so far but am not able to eat the large portions like I'm used to because I do have some restriction. I've been avoiding the scale though because my appetite has definitely increased.

I LOVE my lapband, too. I haven't been working out as much as I was because of the busy-ness of the holiday season -- but my band has kept my eating in check and I've lost a few pounds over the past couple of weeks. Amazing!

      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.
