By the way, I should add that when I "unfilled" for a vacation (due to long flight) I lost 4 pounds that week Of course it was a ski-vacation so lots of cardio every day!!!

Had surgery April 15th. I have been walking my dog, but not very far, at least 2 times a day...probably 15 minutes at a time? May not account for much exercise as she likes to stop and sniff everything! I do live on the third floor, so today I have been up and down the stairs maybe 7 times? Went to the gym today for the first time and got on the treadmill for 25 minutes. You guys are lucky, as I was told by my doc that I have to wait 4 weeks to get on the eliptical or arc trainer.I kinda want to wait at least another week for breaking that rule because of the earlier issue with my incision. Tomorrow I will do a little more.

I started going to the gym on Monday. I have been doing ellipticals and walking around the track, nothing to intense. On Tuesday cos i had heard how great Zumba classes were i decided to try it out and it was so much fun I did it at my own pace so that my port does not flip i worked up some sweat and i was really happy. I took a break on Wednesday. Today there is another Zumba class and i plan to go for it. I have never been an exercise person but i know it would definitely help with the weight loss. i am so happy about the zumba class i don't feel like i am working out at all. find something you love and you will not feel like it is exercise.

Hi everyone. I don't know how many of y'all remember me....~ I was banded on August 13, 2010.......... and on October 5, 2010 I found out I was 12 weeks pregnant. Yep~ I was just about 3-4 weeks pregnant when I had the surgery. I also had two fills in that time span under fluoro..... I was SO scared of potential effects all this would have on our child...... All totally unexpected - we were on the pill - very long story that I shared back here last Fall. Anyway.......... I wanted to share that amazingly our perfectly healthy baby boy, Carson, was born on March 29, 2011. He weighed 7 lb 14 oz, 19" long. I gained ZERO. I never got "unfilled".... and had no complications, and by the grace of God the docs say he is perfect. Just wanted to share..... let the weightloss begin! haha~

Hi all bandsters, I need your biggest help.....I have a friend who lives in Iowa Falls, Iowa, and he wants to know, where can he get his fills, since he and his wife had lapband surgery, and need their fills, if you could please help me on this, I will appreciate this big help so much!!....

Wow, I love this! I also have a Vitamix and make fruit/yogurt smoothies so far. I will try the vegetable drink now too. I'm only 5 weeks out from surgery and eating vegetables seems impossible. I haven't had a fill yet (next week) and still get restriction. I get full/too full easily. Vitamix @ least gives me a smoothie vegie option. Thanks for reminding me of all the machine can do. I make milkshakes for my kids. Soup.......lots of options. I need the energy. Thanks.
