Happy Birthday, the big 30, and wow you have a lot to celebrate, a whole new life ahead, I was so depressed at turning 30 it took a diamond ring to make me feel better! LOL You are doing terrific! I enjoy your blogs, keep them coming.

So gald to hear you are doing well, I had very little gas pain, just a sore shoulder once in awhile, I walked too, a lot each day in the early mornings with my dog and I healed fast, about the fourth day, I just had a little soreness, and no real pain, so I got off the liquid loritab. Went back to work at the end of 7 days. God Bless, so proud you are mending well.

4 months post op only down 30?????????
janetsjourneytoslim commented on niccolin03's blog entry in Blog 93550
Sounds good to me, I am not your Dr., but 11 months out and down 84, I too see others at my stage who have lost 125 lbs and think what am I doing wrong? Nothing, our bodies are different, different in metabolism, age, bone structure etc. I had some hair loss, not going bald or anything, but when I would shampoo in the shower more was coming out than normal about the sixth month, that has since stopped, but I am not losing the weight as fast now either, about 5 lbs per month average instead of 8 to 10. Don't rush it, you will really get bumbed, just enjoy that fact that 30 lbs are gone and they are NOT coming back!!!! Pat yourself on the back and continue the Journey. Congrats! -
there is hope at the end of the tunnel...

Good for you, you do have to be aggressive sometimes, and if you feel you need to be tightened you probably do, we have to learn to read our bodies! Best wishes to you. -
This is a great diary for us all, good to put it all out there, Better out than in, my grandson says! LOL Really it is good therapy to be blogging and then getting feedback from those who know and live like "WE" do everyday, I mean us with the LapBand, cause really no one else feels like us! I enjoy reading your posts! I never tire of this site and I am almost 11 mos out!

five miles is a lot! Makes me tired thinking about it! LOL You are looking great!

Hey Cathy What part of GA are you from? I wish I had a WII I may get one just for exercise too. I paid for a year at the Gym and just need to go, It stormed here today, so I did not get out and it was my day off, but I worked harder than if I'd worked, LOL, I will go tomorrow tho most definately. I used the weight machines for toning and I got a sore Tennis Elbow, so I had to stop that for awhile, it is better now and I do the cardio! It helped me with my toning in the underarms, I do have a little sagging there tho, and in my legs, they are pretty tight for my age. I had four children so I may want a tummy tuck, but we'll see, that would be in a year from now if I do. Walking seems to keep me in the losing weight category.
Reason I asked about GA, I have a house in Eufaula Ala on the AL side of Lake George, GA. Looks like you are doing great.

:tt1:Walkin can make you feel really invigorated, and relieves stress (and Gas~right after surgery) So walk more and feel better. Workouts at the Gym are just that, a workout, I don't particularly like to sweat, but it is burning up excess fat, so sweat I do!!!! And do it well I might add. Heading to the Gym anyone? ME!!!!
-
Don't put your self down too much, you look good and you have done good, more weight loss will come. I too have to set some rules and start to follow them again, we all get lax at times, just hang on it IS coming soon!

Enjoy your post, keep that attitude sweetie and you will be fine, can't wait to see your pics as you lose the weight! Your Dad will be ready to do this soon, I have a sister watching me too! She wants it and her insurance pays for it too! -
The prayers are free, from me! Glad you are feeling better, take it slow and easy the first few days, be good to yourself, don't worry about losing the lbs, they will come, but for now concentrate on the healing process!
-
You are going to be so happy that you took this opportunity, I feel healthy and safe knowing that I won't be needing artificial knees and hips too soon! I am 10 months out and feeling so good! Going to try to take off 20 lbs more and then maintain some.

janetsjourneytoslim posted a blog entry in Blog 75574
:frown:Hey a loss is a loss! Down 1.3 lbs this morning! Yeah! When you have taken off over 80 bs, the losses slow down some, well lets face it, I have lost a great percentage of my excess body fat, so you have to realize things will slow down, that is why on EVERY DIET there is the last 20 lbs or so is soooooo harrrrrd to lose!:mad: Working hard for the next 10 lbs, hope for it in two months! That is the plan anyway. Was going to walk today, but it is 100 degrees and the lake I walk around is exactly 1 mile and perfectly round, just beautiful, but the Newspaper reported Snakes :mad2:(Moccosins) a lot of them crawling there, so me and snakes don't mix, here I come treadmill. Still Walkin the LapBand Walk! Here's to us Bandsters.:tt1: -
Praying for you, you will look very stylish in the pretty night gown they give you with no back in it! LOL I did, but i loved the HAT! It added the finishing touch to my outfit! LOL Great Attitude!

Hi Meg, I am 10 months post, lost 84 lbs total! Felt the same things you have, I think we all have if we just admit it! Thanks for being so honest about your feelings, that is the first step you have taken toward the healing YOU needed. We are here, if not in person, then this is good therapy for us all anyway! Hang on each day is a learning day with the Band, we are forever Bandsters. Get a tablet and Make yourself write down lst, your mood, 2nd the food intake, 3rd the exercise you had, 4th the fluid intake and water. You will be amazed at what you consume, I rolled 3-4 lbs around for a month and a half thinking that was ALL I was going to do! Then I did the 4 steps above and dropped 6 lbs. then kept it off for a month and dropped another 1.3 lbs yesterday. It will happen don't get discouraged!

Good for you, have a great day, keeping your self motivated is the best thing you can do for YOU! You will improve day by day, it only gets better with the LapBand! God Bless YOU!

You look beautiful and amazing, one thing I can tell from your photos is how friendly and positive you are and how your inner beauty shines through! God Bless you! You are doing fine and on the right road to a new life in health. One day not too far from now you will look back on these photos and say "That was me?" I know how you feel I have clothes that I wore a few years ago that I can still get in to and not that much change from then, but from where I got to, LOL, there is change, down 84 lbs now 10 months out, feelin great! I know this is a forever committment and I will be smaller yet next year this time, looking forward to hitting my goal of 100 lbs. Continued wishes for your success! Will keep in touch. -
Thinking of you today, praying for you and hopeful that all is well and you are going to be on the road to recovery! You will now be one of us a true "Bandster"!!!!

So true about the Vacation, looking back at the photos I did have a great time and relaxed. Now I have lost 5 1/2 lbs since returning home so I am back! Just want to lose about 20 more and then maintain. I want to look good, not emaciated and old, just my age, and grandma's need a little lap! LOL You are looking great, keep it up, good to hear from you again!

:frown:well I am finally feeling nourished after the trip to Alaska where on the cruise I could not seem to eat properly! A slight unfill .04 cc's did the trick. NOW to get back on the Band Wagon and lose the next 10 lbs! I want to lose 30 more, but will get there one day at a time. I am hitting the gym tomorrow and starting my daily walks again, you can sure get off track when going on Vacation, I loved the cruise, but got more lbs to lose! Hoping all is well with your soul and your health, God Bless, have a great day!

You look great, I need to lose about 5 lbs to catch you! LOL, Sure feels great doesn't it? I am going to get about 26 more lbs off and then try to maintain my weight! Best Wishes -
Bless your heart, you have had a rough go of it, Praying for you that all is good and from here on you move forward. Best of health to you.
-
Not a bad Idea, Church, a little prayer for you at this time from me too! Knowing that all will go well for you tomorrow and will be thinking of you during the surgery. Better days ahead, healthy, and happy days!

Doing great! So nice not to be throwing up everything! I finally feel nourished, now back to the Gym tomorrow! The little bit of unfill I got did the trick, now I need to take off the next 10 lb increment of weight, going to start walking again as well, just miss the exercise, going on Vacation can really get one off track!
