Congrats!

Hello, I have plantar fascitis and it's a pain! I can only do exercises that doesn't require stomping up and down, so Zumba is a no go .The elliptical and bike is all I can do. I can't walk more than 5 min without pain. I knew something was wrong when I woke up every morning and the first step was painful. I hope it gets better for you.

Congrats!!!!

You have lost a lot of inches in one month! Congrats! Keep it up! The pics show your hard work!

Hey good to see you back on here!

Good job! I'm going to try to break some sugar habits next week:)

Hey, I enjoyed reading this blog. Thanks for posting. I haven't been a good bandster lately but I am starting to get back to doing my best with this tool. Your post reminded me that it's not easy and I should really try harder. You lost 60 pounds without the band which is awesome!

You're doing really good! Keep it up!

Good job!

Hello, I am glad you took control of your situation and started back on this journey. It's a long and tedious road but we can do it! I think it's important to remember that we will all have set back but don't get to comfortable in them. I would suggest when you get off your your liquid diet take small steps back up to solids like you did when you first had the surgery. Tuna, eggs, greek yogurt, chicken salad (I make mine like tuna), and plenty of water. I would suggest oatmeal for breakfast but I know a lot of people have problems with oatmeal. I eat it for breakfast almost every morning because it keeps me going until lunch time. Good luck! Oh, yea work out like you never have before! LOL! (If you don't have any physical limitations).

Congrats!!!!! Did you get your arms done? If so, did they consider that cosmetic? Thanks!

Join the gym even though you already have the equipment at home. You may go because you don't want to waste your money. Then once you get in the habit again start using your own equipment instead of paying. They have plenty of gyms now where you don't have to sign a long contract.

When I had my surgery last year I was working a second job as a caregiver for a disabled lady and I had to cook her dinner and breakfast every morning while I was on my liquied diet and it was horrible! She even had me order pizza for her! I know the pain you are going through now but it will get better once you start the mushies.

Wow, it seems like you got a lot going on right now! I am sorry about your mom passing:( It's been a little over 3 years since my mom left and it feels like yesterday! I know I promised her I will get my health in check so I am going to follow thru no matter how hard it gets. I hope things get easier for you and I wish you well!

Yes, over my one year of being banded I averaged 1 pound a week....I will take it though because it's better than nothing. I just hope to lose that 1 pound a week over this next year and that will put me almost at goal. I figured it would take me 2 to 3 years to get to goal anyways. I had a small setback on vacations but I am back on the grind this week! Wish you well and keep your head up!

Do you actually vomit or are you slimming?

I switched jobs and my new insurance did not cover WLS or anything related to it but I think my doctor's office knew how to code my fills where it is still being covered? I am not sure how or why but I did look at my statement one day and it just listed injections. I guess if they don't ask what kind of injections then I am not going to worry about it LOL!

I lost 4 pounds the week of Christmas eating cakes and pies! I was surprised as well! I agree with PJ my body probably appreciated the boost in calories for that short time period! LOL! At least that's what I want to believe.

Yes, I can't eat without having a hot cup of coffee to loosen things up.

I know exactly how you feel to be in a slump! I was in one to for 3 months but I dusted off my shoes and hit the gym and started making healthier choices! Good luck and keep it up!

Same thing happens to me all the time. Some people are like Oh my goodness you are looking great and then you have the others that just look me up and down and ask how am I doing with the weight loss? Well, can't you see? LOL!

I hope things get better for the both of you and btw that is the cutiest little girl!

ooooooo...I enjoyed reading this blog so much! What an amazing thing to happen to you! After a few days of doing liquids you won't be as hungry and it will get a little bit easier. Good luck!

1 pound! LOL! That's my avg. Now, I have lost 2 pounds a week since my last fill on Dec. 16 but that's not my usual. I avg my total loss since surgery day and it avg out to be 4.8 pounds a month. I am happy though because it's staying off! That was the point of me getting the band is to keep it off! I have never kept off this amount of weight for 11 months!

Enjoyed reading your blog and it is very inspirational! Congrats on losing 50lbs!:Banane10:
