came home.....did my dvd/step aerobics

i had the plication along with the lap band and it made my stomach (smaller) and i can only eat so much before i get a full feeling and hence my sign to stop...going past that feeling gives me discomfort.....i could eat a lot before surgery and now its kewl to see a cup or a cup and a half of food does the trick...

i had the lap band and plication and hernia repair and took a total of 8 days off work (i work at a desk job)...i was up and moving around same day of surgery..was really sore about 3 days (similar to when i had my gall bladder out)..just go slow/take it easy..

besides (living) i would love to have a TT and my upper arm bat wings (removed) not sure if my military insurance will do that but that is what i would want.. and lets not forget a new pair of 6 inch heels

weather is brutal on my left knee.........call me OLD but still did my step aerobics although kabo the doberman kept stepping on the step ARGH

looking for 14s and 12s pants or sweaters (vneck and 3/4 sleeves)

the scale does lie....it also goes up and down all day long......(we eat, drink, pee and poop etc)....however looser clothes don't lie.....congrats to you on the great loss so far.

2 mile walk....35 min step aerobics and a lot of walking while shopping at super walmart this southern girl LOVES her lap band

i thought she lookd like karen carpenter when i saw her picture (her face i am referencing)

everyone has a a*sshole but that dr must have two sorry he made you feel that way....use his BS to prove him wrong... my BMI was 62 at surgery... best of luck

my apron pulls down and yes, it is uncomfy if really hurting or concerned def call and ask your PCD (i know the more i lose, the less it hurts)

thanks for posting this i enjoyed reading

if you gag, best not to do what makes that happen the first month is vital to let your body heal (inside and out) and throwing up could be dangerous...but if you do have sex, if it hurts or uncomy, stop..your well being is more important then you know what.. there are other ways to pleasure each other while you heal...

me and my step and dvd worked out today for 45 minutes my calves are feeling it...

Working out is not a punishment, it’s a privilege.It feels so good to exercise and knowing that I’m not only doing something good for my body mentally and physically at that very moment, but I’m also doing it for my healthy future, too is so priceless. To wrap it up—don’t make excuses today. Be thankful for the body you have and be good to it

step aerobics......

UPDATE: march 6, i am going to be doing that (snow cancelled) seminar with dr enochs at the very hospital i was operated on....OMG WakeMed Cary Seminar Public · By Bariatric Specialists of Thursday, March 6, 2014 6:30pm in EST Dr. Enochs will be speaking and his patient, Virginia Parrish will be sharing her story. wish me luck....

i hope cheryl that every person who needs to read this DOES and actually lets the words sink in.........this post was wrote by a successful bander so it def shows how to work the band as intended.

ok, so you have done amazing on the loss so far.. have you lost inches this month you say the scale hasnt moved? have you had to buy smaller clothes? maybe realized the clothes you are wearing are too big? are you able to have better mobility? are you physcially feeling better better? if so, then you are continuing to lose even if the scale doesnt move as fast as you like or at all.....keep on the track of eating great foods, exercising and stay the course....the scale will catch up.

what a GREAT job your picture tell a success and you will get those last pounds you want off no doubt

what a amazing woman you are....incredible and there is a reason i call you my friend..... dont forget this summer, we be naked in the ocean

well, if you are truly hungry, then eat something there is nothing wrong with eating...food is glorious....grab a piece of fruit or a Protein bar or drink something.....you are stronger than you give yourself credit for sugar..promise.
