**IP~LB**

I had my surgery 2 weeks before you did. 69 lbs since then. I haven't worked out in a month, BUT I was doing crossfit for a bit. I say 90% because sometimes I have oatmeal or a piece of cheese. Not often but I do. I stay between 700-900 when I don't work out and 1000-1300 when I do work out. I do have a day during the month that i hit 1400 calories but that has been 2x in two months. I have not had a fill at all and I and changing my dieting lifestyle habits. I don't want to rely on fills. I eat extremely clean. I try to eat one ingredient foods!! Good Luck!

Hello, I do Paleo diet 90% of the time. Before LBS I lost 40 pounds on it and now after surgery another 69 pounds. The 4-6 weeks after surgery I did eat the recommend WLS diet, but now following Paleo. I love it!! This past two months I started back serious again. If you have any questions or recipes just inbox me!! GOOD LUCK. When was your surgery!

Wow, you must feel absolutely amazing!! I am sooo happy for you!! Congrats!

Great job!! What an amazing feeling that must be!

Very true GEESER

I have never been happier with my band!!!! I read a lot of negative before also. Mostly it was a 40% fail rate, but most of those statistics are from people who didn't follow the doctors orders!! There are risks involved, but if you consider what being morbidly obese, the risks are much less! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DECISION!

You are a HUGE success. I love your daily profile updates and your posts!! Keep up everything you are doing

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope all gets better soon!!!

I have some clothes that are too big or I don't want anymore. So if anyone would like them please let me know.

That is EXCELLENT!!! WTG. Great time also!!

Hi All So I am getting ready for my work day and I had to run back to my bathroom to get something I forgot. I got a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I did a double take. So I snapped a picture. I was at my moms and she gave me the picture on the left. My jaw dropped. I was 317 or more in that picture. I can't even believe I let someone take that picture of me. I was definitely anti-pictures. I realized that before I had lapband surgery in Dec of 2012 that I had actually lost 40 lbs on my own. Needless to say I am very very pleased that I had this surgery performed. I have been keeping my calories under 1200 a day and been working out 4 plus times a week. 58 more pounds to go to my ultimate goal. I would like to lose 6-8 pounds a month to reach my goal. The more weight I lose and the better I feel in my clothes the more motivated I get to eat cleaner and cleaner. Not just stay under my calories but make every calorie count! Hope everyone is doing well today. I had a couple of NSV's this weekend and am proud of myself and I wanted to share Take care, Reen

I make the Paleo Banana/Apple muffins ALL THE TIME. In fact I made them last weekend with walnuts, so good!

Yeah Bibi, I am in south florida! Yes I have read all the paleo books and I have all the cookbooks. Eating Paleo makes me feel so good. That is how I lost my initial 40 pounds before LB surgery. Glad we made your day Lion!! I have a ton of recipes if you need !!

Me me. I do Paleo most of the time. I am 80/20. I believe this is why I am having great results!! I was banded Dec 4th you? Do you do crossfit also?
