Finally losing again! That fill was what I needed. Lost 2.6 pounds yesterday, I've lost 7 pounds since Monday when I got my fill. I know this is the honeymoon phase again, but I feel like I can do this. I encourage everyone to get those fills, that's what the band is for. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

JustDoIt - It will come. It's exactly like you said you will keep losing this is only temporary. You may be losing inches. Just keep focusing on that. And our bodies need those adjustment periods too. You will overcome this and begin losing again!

Oh Oh and I forgot to say I'm losing again! I waited too long to get another fill and it slowly crept up on me that I could eat more at a sitting! Watch out for that, I had restriction just not enough. That was a very grey thin line to cross. But I got the fill and I'm doing great and have relost the few pounds I gained and I'm back losing again! :D :D So glad I got my band, and it's great to ssee that scale moving again.

1200 max, depending on your workout. I eat more after an intense session with trainer or a class. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Oh and for those of you that keep getting unsubscribed from threads, I figured out the pattern. Every time I reply to a thread from the app on my iPad I get unsubscribed. So I have to go back and re-subscribe after every posting. Guess what I'm doing after I hit send on this.....lol. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Just got another fill. 0.7 fill so I'm at 9.4 in a 14 band. Drinking Water and doesn't slow at all, I hope this works! I've just been able to eat too much lately and hey I might as well use the band for its intended purpose. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Erica I had the same thing at work, someone blabbed. But now I find people really supportive to my face anyway. If they think anything negative who cares! I did this for me and my loved ones and they don't get to be on that list now. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Just got back from 6 month checkup. Doc said the average weight loss for a year is 66 pounds, so the fact that I've lost that in 6 months is great. He said don't stress about how long you workout, get in 30 minutes a day and focus on what u can d and accomplish and improve upon in that 30 minutes. Said keep up with high Protein, shakes are fine, especially in the morning. Guess I'm not doing as bad as I thought. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Well here's an NSV for ya. DH just came home and I told him he needs to help me measure for my new bra size as I've shrunk out of my old ones. Now thinking budget conscious and knowing Lane Bryant sale is going on I say I'll go there. He responds, Why don't u take 60.00 and go to Victoria's Secret and buy a bra. I said I've never shopped there before they don't carry my size. He said I bet they do now. I said 60.00 for 1 bra? He just smiled. Did I mention he's a breast man? LOL love this man.

I'm doing 30 minutes of biking intervals 4-5 days a week and adding in ab work 3 times a week. Abs diet is eating 6 small meals a day of good foods. I noticed more energy and weight loss from day one. Highly recommend the book The Abs Diet for Women to everyone Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Sorry everyone just realized this morning that I wasn't getting posts forwarded to my email for a long time now, time to get caught up! I have 4 more pounds to go to make my July 4th goal of 12 pounds lost in 4 weeks. I'm honestly averaging a pond a day right now following the abs diet food plan and workouts, so maybe I can double that loss? That would be amazing! As an update I've lost 65.4 pounds since my highest weight. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Missed my june1 goal by 3 pounds, but did lose 12 in 5 weeks, so not too bad. Ready to push myself harder though. So I think next birthday was July 4th? Let's aim for 12 pounds by July 4th then.

So tomorrows the big goal day. I know I lost 10 but the additional 5 I'm not sure. Will weigh in tomorrow morning and see if I reached my 15 pounds in 5 weeks birthday goal. Good luck everyone.

Unfortunately sometimes it happens irregardless. However I use a multivitamin by Bariatric Advantage, also a calcium chew supplement and vitamin d one as well. All by Bariatric advantage. My doc sells in office but you can buy online as well at bariatricadvantage.com. I take 2 of the multivitamins daily. 4 of the calcium chews daily. 1 of the vitamin d capsules daily. Just make sure you wait at least an hour between anything with iron in it like the vitamin and taking calcium or your boody won't absorb it as well.mthis puts me at over 200% or more on different vitamins and minerals but it's what the doc approved.

My multivitamin has some biotin in it but my doc says its protein that counts. Try 30% of your weight being grams of daily protein.

10 lbs gone, 5 more to go by June 1st deadline. Incidentally, I hit 299 this morning.....under 300!!!!! I think it's been around 8 years since I've seen anything under 300. I have calories alternating day to day, what's funny is that wasn't on purpose it just happened that way. But week one in group training lost me 6 lbs and week 2 I lost 4. So true testimony we gotta work out folks. It's not fun but sooo worth an hour of your day.
