Hi Everyone,
My name is Kathy Hoover (age 48) and I live in Buena Park, CA. I was banded 4/12/05:clap2: and have lost 81 pounds so far:D . It's been slow, but I finally found what it take for me to lose. I have a friend on the Lindora Diet (low carb) and she coached me and gave me a list of foods to eat, and believe it or not, I'm finally loosing (dropped 13 pounds since early June!!! Yipee!!!). I'm eating protein: (eggs, white fish, chicken breast, seafood) spinach, salad, grapefruit, power crunch bars, yogurt & skim milk. I love the Crystal Light fruit punch and I found the Walmart has their own brand that cost about 1/3 of the price!
I also attend Power Aqua Aerobic classes 3 to 5 time a week at 24-Hour Fitness (anyone a member?) and I go between the gyms in La Mirada (Beach & Imperial), Anaheim-Gateway (Lemon and 91 Fwy) and the Orange Sport (Orangewood & the 5 Fwy). Also, on Friday nights a few of us work-out in the Anaheim gym from 4:30 to 6pm. We even shot some baskets on their indoor court last time (hadn't done that for years!).
Please email me (hooverkm@yahoo.com) if you'd like to join us at the gym. I have nobody else with a lapband to talk to:phanvan, only gastric bypasser. Most people have never heard of the lapband.
