Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm going to pick up some weights and try ore-planning my meals this week too!

Good Evening Everyone,

I had the surgery on 11/30 and am now down 18 pounds. I'm happy because I have had some success, but I'm a little dissappointed because I feel like I should be down more. I've been in the gym *4 times a week* and track my food on myfitnesspal. I just thought I'd be closer to 30lbs by now, but I can't complain. However, it's the weeks where I notice a gain of 1 to 2lbs that concern me. Can anyone suggest some things I can do differently or meal plans I can try for better results? I try to stay between 1000 to 1200 calories per day, but typically burn off 400 to 500.

Feel free to add me as well...I need a kick start!

Thanks for the advice

Hi Everyone,

I had lap band surgery on 11/30/11 and am really excited about the changes and challenges that lie ahead. At this point, I has been 3 days since my surgery and I was able to get out and walk for about 35 minutes (which felt great). How soon before I can hit gym classes such as Zumba, step aerobics, weight training? Any tips for success would be greatly appreciated.
