Happy 35th Birthday newtolapband!

3 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 3rd Anniversary newtolapband!

Hey-

Colleen was correct....I am pregnant, 11 weeks to be exact!! If you wanna know anything you can add me on yahoo messenger :alissahanssen, I am also on facebook under Alissa Hanssen, I tend to be on the chatroom a lot as well. I subscribed to some of the pregnancy threads on here but on much help...this is my first kid so you MIGHT be the one giving me advice!! Well you can add me....or try to catch me on chat!!

Hi there! I got your name from the chat board bc I was asking if anyone was pg? and colleen mentioned you were. I was wondering if we could chat a bit? I am currently 9weeks with baby #2 but this time I am post band. Congrats btw!!!

Hi there! Saw your post & hear your frustration. I am from Niagara Falls, NY & was banded in Buffalo. Wondering if we had the same dr? synergy?

I am doing very good. I am like you, I have a 14 month old at home, but thank goodness her older brothers were out of school and were able to help me with her. I was banded Dec 18th and for some reason that seems like it was ages ago!!! I lost weight so good for the first couple of weeks, but since starting mushies I've stalled at 20lbs. When do you get your first fill?

Hi there - so sorry I just realized you posted to me back in Dec. I am doing pretty good. I am up & moving all around but not back to excercising yet. Although, I guess having a 2yo is like a workout! I feel like I never really had much time to recoup with her around:) Luckily my husband had 2 weeks off to help me. When were you banded? and how is your sucess & recovery going? Faith

Hey!!!

I was born in Texas, lived here for 2 years, but moved to Wisconsin for 10 years. Been back here for 8 now. But I know what you mean about the four seasons. Man I miss that!!! Its beautiful to have snow on Christmas and not be 60 outside like it was this year. lol

As far as excerise, my doctor told me there are no restrictions. So I say go for it! Do something you enjoy. I usually walk, bike, or play basketball. I don't have a gym membership. lol But yeah I say do some classes you enjoy!!!

NY is where I've always been so to me it's great - friends, family, etc... and i really love the 4 seasons even though it does get bitter here. Have you always lived in Texas? Where are you in terms of excercising? Wasn't sure if I should return to the gym & resume the classes I used to take - turbo kick, zumba, spinning...your thoughts?

Wow that is a ton of snow!!! Yeah, I am excited though about my weight loss. I know it'll slow down, but you usually lose a lot the first time!

So how is life up in NY darling?

I can't wait to be 30lbs lighter!! You go girl:) Remember though not too fast. Slow & steady!! I can't imagine 80 degrees right now! It's about 25 here & lots of snow! I'm in NIagara Falls, NY. Talk to you soon!

14 lbs?! Way to go darling!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad to hear you're feeling better and you have lost some weight! You're just on a roll! Yeah the weight loss slows down. I am sooo frustrated. I excercised and I was at least expecting to lose .5, but I lost nothing today. I am 1 lbs off from 30 and I just can't get there. haha

Other then that slight frustration--I am doing pretty good. I can't complain. I am enjoying my winter break. Plus it's 80 outside today. So I am looking forward to spending some time outside in my beautiful state of Texas haha!

I am actually much better today - probably helps bc I stepped on scale & I am down 14lbs!!!!(In 1 month) I haven't been under 195 in a looong time! I just hope this sucess continues. My daughter is good , better actually now that I am up & moving around & able to care for her more. It was a bit of an adjustment for her. How's all with you??

Isn't that amazing!!!! I love eating like nothing and feeling full. teehee! The healing process does stink, but you'll get ther. I am so glad you're doing better. I know you must be exhausted though. How is your little one?
