1 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 1st Anniversary Grams!

Congratulations to both of you! I'm 64 and have lost 59 lbs so far and would like to lose another 31. It is much slower than I thought but it's staying off and that's what counts with me. I know I could lose faster if I was more careful what I ate and exercised more but for now I'm happy with my progress. Good to hear the over 50 crowd is alive and kicking!!!

Where are you at??? October 2010 Bandsters
Grams replied to Fluffy_Gurl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey Fluffy Girl, You are definitely not alone. what I've discovered since banding Oct. 12 is that this is a slow and difficult process but I still have faith that once we have the right restriction it will all be worth it. I lost 23 lbs pre-op but then stayed the same for 3 wks, in fairness I wasn't dieting or exercising, I figure I paid all this money I might as well wait until it's working to try. All of a sudden this week I've dropped 3.8 lbs so that's kind of a boost. From what I hear it's the 3rd or 4th fill that gives us enough restriction to really help so hang in there.Grams PS I don't know what happened to my tracker but I don't seem to be able to find it. did this system change? -
slow! I need a boost to get exercising and losing.I think of you often with your little bundle. I have 2 sons ages 36 and 39, a daughter age 32, and 2 beautiful grandsons ages 5 & 8. Like yours, mine are my joy and my blessing. Have you started prepping for Christmas yet? I shopped in the US for Black Fri so that gave me a good start. Your 1st fill is soon isn't it, it doesn't hurt, I have 2cc,

Hi Pat, it's been ages but first my computer was acting up and now I'm having trouble understanding how the new format works. I think I'm sending you a message but I might be sending it to myself. Let me know if you get it. I had my 1st fill but no difference, a woman I met at my clinic just had her 3rd and was hoping for restriction. this is toooo s...

Hello My Friend! How are you doing with the band? You need to let me know what's going on with you. My sweet baby boy has really kept me busy the last couple of weeks so I haven't been on too much. I know why the Good Lord gives us babies while we're younger......ENERGY! I don't have it like I once did. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Take care. Blessings......Pat

October 2010 Bandsters!!

Thanks Pat. Looking after your great grandson must be so much fun, and what great motivation to get healthy. I'm going to see my nutritionist tomorrow which is good because I'm way off track with my eating. Up or down a lb or two everyday so I have held on to my pre-op loss but haven't lost any more since surgery. I joined a new website (that the nutritionist recommended) called CalorieKing and it looks like it will be helpful once I get my fill and get going. How's your knee doing? I haven't started exercising yet but I know I need to. I ordered a new treadmill and can't wait to get it. Will be thinking of you as we struggle through these last pre-fill days together. I get my 1st one on Nov.23rd so I'll keep you posted on what you have to look forward to. Take care, because I care. -
October 2010 (Bootiful Bandsters) Thread

I'm with you guys. I HATE this part. Now I know why they call this period Bandster Hell. We'll all be "filled" by Christmas though and let's hope it's the gift we're hoping for! Hang in there we can do it together. -
Big Ger are you ok? Is anything happening with the Wpg. support group?

October 2010 Bandsters!!

If we could control our appetites and lose weight without a fill we wouldn't have needed the lap-band. My Dr. says not to worry about losing between surgery and 1st fill (6wks), but to take the time to heal. You'll lose once you get your fill. Be gentle with yourself.
