Hi there everyone! This is my first ever post to any "lap band" related site. I was banded on December 14, 2004...just about a year and a few months ago. My beginning weight was 277 and I'm at 206 as of this morning. So I would like to talk with anyone about exercize and what you are doing:faint: Currently I am using an eliptical at the gym for 70 min 3x / week and doing a "Body Pump" class sometimes 2x/week but have a torn rotator cup right now and can't lift much. The eliptical says that I'm buring 1100 cal during my workout plus what ever I'm burning during weight lifting. Does anyone do heavy workouts like this and if you do I need to buddy up with you for support :help: I've been at 210/206 up and down for the last 3 months and with each month passing I get more fustrated because I feel as though I'm doing "enough"...but maybe I'm not and I need to know. My band is at a good fill...I'm not hungry hardly ever. I can't eat large portions/nor bread/chips/crackers:(/and sometimes have a hard time with protein. I guess I just need input...PLEASE TELL ME .....WHAT MORE SHOULD I DO?

I still do weight training but am limited just because its hard to even lift a coffie cup with that arm right now ~ Thanks for all of your imput. I think I need to sit down and see how many calories I'm getting in vs burning. Its just strange how one day I can eat good small portions and others...its a struggle to get down 3 bites and get frustrated and just don't eat. The days I workout I don't usually get any food for the day untill about 2 in the afternoon. I may have a Vita water and 80 oz of reg water during that time. I also have a spinning bike that I use on occasion but I have this huge bruse on my bottom right now lol don't know how I got it. Thinking it was all that fat flappen up and down LMAO! I do know I'm running 5 1/2 miles during my workouts in that hour and 10 min. time. Not too bad for a 206 lb'er
