My weight on 1/1/05 was 365 lbs. I had the lap band surgery on 12/13/05. My weight 320 lbs. My lowest point was on 4/13/06 @ 261.6 lbs. As of 7/1/08 I am at 282.4 lbs. I have never gave up on my goal of 200 lbs which I know I will get to. Just dont know when! My problem is what I eat. I tend to eat the wrong foods like ice cream is is a killer. My weight has evened off between 285-295 lbs. Would like to see what your typical menu is like for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner/ etc. So if you can help, please post. Thanks. Again- Never give up.

Anyone where a medical Id bracelet?

Anyone try Turbo Jam???

Hi Everyone Well I had my surgery on 12/13/2005 and I weighted 320 lbs. I got down to 260 lbs. Within the last 4 months I regained 35 lbs so now I am back up to 295 lbs. My position at my job change and now I sit behind a computer all day compare to walking all day before. Now I work from 8 am to 5 pm. So when I get home I am tired and don’t want to do anything. Before I worked from 2pm to 10 pm and I always went to the gym in the morning. My eating habits went out to left field. I just got back from the doctors office and had attended a basic 101 eating class for bariatric patients. Hopefully that will get me back into the swing of things. My goal this year is to get down to 240 lbs I have not given up!!!!!

Hi I am located in Sterling, Co.. Thats about 4 hours from Canon City. Good luck to you callieanna.....

Thanks Jessica!

Hi Guys I unerstand what Poodles is talking about. My eating habits are out of control. I regained 30 lbs...and yes mostly Icecream...I have to get back on track.so if you have a friendly user menu please post. Thanks!

Hi Friends Anyone got a good jump start plan? I regained 20 lbs... I think I need to go Liquids again for a few days.. any suggestions???] Joe

Who has a 10cc band and how much of a fill do you have? I have 7.5 cc and minor restriction.. I think once I get to 8-8.5 I should be good...

Is anyone just doing weight training and losing weight? If so what are you doing sets,reps and how many days a week? I have a heel spur and cant do cardio like I want to. Thanks

I will try it!

The doc put my goal weight @ 217.. My goal is 200 lbs ( My weight when I was in the Army).

Who had surgery during the month's of oct/nov/dec 2005? And how much weight have you lost? Thanks

I had a fill last Wednesday and I am just starting to feel some restriction. Hopefully it will continue. Joe

How do you know if you stretched your pouch?

Has anyone thought of getting a tattoo of a lap band when you reach your goal? I Know it sounds funny, But................
