Yes you can go on costers. Just came back from Disney and Orlando and all went super well. No complications at all. And yes I did ask the doctor his reply..."go out and have fun". The best part if course was fitting on the rides. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!

Thank you guys for your advice. It really helped.

Help people help!!!! So before surgery my weight was a solid 350. Surgery was in April of this year from then to now I have gone to weigh 295 pounds..but the problem is I have been at that weight sine August. I have already had two fills and stay within my calorie intake. And I work out almost everyday day from 45-60 min. What is going on. I'm going crazy with this. I wanted to be at 285 by the end of this year. What am I doing wrong. Should I be doing more. Help fellow lapbanders!!!!!!!!

Lapbandster I started to feel restrictions right away. But I statred to eat more food about two weeks before my first fill. I got my first fill July 12. And now a month into it I am full for about six to seven hours and ear less. But I do have some days that I can eat a little more. It's still all about willpower. And making right choices. I could eat pizza for dinner if I wanted to but it's about being wise and eating lean protein and veggies.

Mybella I get anywhere from 70-80 grams a day. Everything I eat has Protein in it.

Today it's been four months post-op. Pre op weight 350 Today's weight 299.2 50 pounds gone and I no longer weigh 300 pounds. I'm loving this new way of living.

Hello Fellow Lapbanders... Hope you are all having a fun, happy, and healthy day. Today is day four of my first fill and I am loving it so much. I fill fuller longer and eat less food now. Now we are on to something LOL.... So I have a question of the day for you guys, What do you do to handle or overcome or candy/chocolate craving?????? I purchased a bag of mini Peanut Butter cups thinking I could do one a day....HUGE fail. I almost ate the whole bag without paying attention and i wasnt even hungry..It is crazy but this was a lesson learned. Can't wait to hear you guys, Laiza

Hello everyone, I am so happy that I found this website. I need all the help I can get. So I had my sugery on 04/12/2012. Before the start of the liquid I was at 340. The day of the surgery I was down to 323. A week after my surgey I went down to 313. As of today I have been eating regular food for a week and i have gained 3 pounds. Is this normal? I have been working out everyday for an hour and only eating three meals and one snack a day. I have not been filled yet. I aam so scared that now I am eating i will be ganing more and more weight. Please tell me that this is normal. I also am not eating sugers, bread, Pasta, rice. Just eatting veggies fruits and protien. Any advice out there. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
