Hi Everyone, I haven't been on this site in a while maily because I haven't been doing that great with my lap band. I know this band is a gift from God and I need to embrace it. I am crying while writing this because I really need support. I see that everyone has been losing so much weight and I need some help knowing how. Could you please share what you eat for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner and how much? Along with your excercise routine? I have had my lap band for a year and have lost 40lbs.. mainly because I'm not eating right. I want to get my life back on track. I am getting married in 4 months and would like to lose 25-30lbs before the wedding. Can you guys please help me out with how much weight on average you lose a month? I really want to become a success story like you all, and I want the Lap Band forum to become my life. I weigh 215 right now My goal weight is 130. Please help!

Thank you so much! It's great to have support, I actually lost 5lbs this week of my 30lb goal!! I hope I can do it!!1 great job to you also!! Wonderful progress!!

Hi Everyone, I have a wedding coming up in 5 months.. I need to get my dress fit in 3. Realistically, how much weight do you think I could lose if I stick to diet and excercise routine.. and workout 5 days a week? Can I get some love and support? Do you think 30lbs is doable?

Thanks so much you guys! It's amazing to see all of your stories, you are so inspiring. I hope to stay on track and lose the last 88lbs I need to within the next year!

Oh Also, can someone give me the name of a good Protein shake you use and where to get it? I tried the "whey Protein" from walmart and it was like Water. Thank you!!

Thank you everyone, This is all such great advice. I guess I just need a good kick in the pants to get moving. I really want to look beautiful on my wedding day. I should have been a lot stricter with myself knowing I was getting married soon. But I can't make excuses and just have to get moving. Can someone tell me how to make one of those cute timelines you have at the botting of your post? Before Surgery I was 260lb Right now I weight 219lb My goal before the wedding is 180lb My goal for life is 130lb I CAN DO THIS, and so can all of you. Congrats to the people who are getting banded and who are already banded. Thank you all for the encourgment and I would love to keep holding hand throught our journeys. Do anyone live in Minnesota? -Alex

Hi Sweetbaker, I'm sorry I don't know your name. Thank you so much for the advice. Everyone on here has been so inspiring and I wan't to start fresh with my band. I think that the fact that we can all come together and give support is awesome. I only hope that soon I can be giving weight loss advice to others. I'm going to do everything I can to get the weight off. Thank you again! Alex

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help!
