With the start of the new year, I want to try something new. Has anyone tried P90X and have you had success with it? It looks pretty tough.

I saw them at my local Walmart

Zumba! It's great!

I love popcorn! I have an air popper so that cuts out a lot of calories. You do have to chew well and not eat too fast. Popcorn has a lot of fiber too.

I don't really like cottage cheese but I saw a package with cottage cheese and strawberries together. If you mix them, it's pretty good. It's not as good as Greek yogurt with the fruit in it. That stuff is amazing.

I also had my gallbladder removed. I was kinda expecting it because it runs in my family. I had a constant dull, aching pain under my ribs on my right side that would get much worse after eating anything spicy or rich. I felt so much better after I had it out. I couldn't take the pain medicine because it made me vomit so I only took ibuprofen when I had pain and it was just fine. Walking around after the surgery will help with the gas pain in the shoulders.

I'm new to the site. I was banded in April 2010. Starting weight was 272. Total lost is 70 lbs. Goal weight is 155. I found this site because I feel like I need more support. I am married and have 2 kids. My husband is usually supportive but he doesn't want me to get any fills or to go to the gym. He wants me to do it all on my own and not use my band or even the gym as a crutch. I enjoy going to the gym and it really helps me deal with stress. I know that I am an emotional eater and when I get stressed, I always used sweets as a comfort. This fall has been pretty stressful and busy at work and I have been feeling overwhelmed. I haven't been taking care of myself. So, I've slipped back into old habits and I'm feeling pretty down about it. Any advice or support would be helpful.

I made an appointment for a fill. I got the P90X DVDs and I am going to try them out at home. I will work on the hubs and try to get him on the same page.

I have the Zumba DVDs and do it at home. I love it. Its a lot of fun and a great cardio workout!

Thanks. I am going to make an appointment to go see my dr tomorrow.

He does understand that exercise is important. He wants me to exercise at home. I've gotten Zumba DVDs and P90X DVDs to use at home. I think it might be an insecurity issue on his part. Or it could just be a control issue. I think I just need to work on my assertiveness and stand up for myself.

I am looking forward to trying it. I live in a rural area and its quite a ways to the nearest gym. I am also going to Zumba for extra cardio.

I have had 2 c sections and they were much worse than the lap band. I didn't even take pain meds after the 2nd day. I had it done on a Friday and was back to work by Monday.
