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.

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

Feel free to add me as well...I need a kick start! Kikedra (on myfitnesspal)

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.

Thanks for the advice
