I couldn't find this site since my computer crashed. But here goes. Had my surgery on Feb 8 2011 and I have lost 69 pounds. Went from a size 26 in dresses to a size 18. My goal dress is now a size 12 and I can get into it but it is tight and the sleaves come up to mid arm. So I figure about 25 more pounds and it might be too big. I love my band and wouldn't change it for anything. I turned 57 on April 28 and yes the band does work if you're over 50. I think it would work if you were over 70. But you gotta remember it is not a sure fire way you have to use it as a tool to help you in the process of losing weight not depend on it doing everything for you. It is a tool and when used as a tool it is a great tool. but you have to worked with it also.

I have permission from my lapband doctor and my reg doctor, and I haven't really started walking yet , but I am in the morning. I have my alarm set for 6:15 for watching the sunrise, drinking my first cup of coffee, the by 8 I am ready for my walk, 9 it is time to shower and dress for the day. Breakfast right after that. then I start my housecleaning, and after that I spend the afternoon out side in the yard working, By 6 I am taking another walk, after that I work out on my exercise equipment for an hour, then shower and dinner and rest the rest of the night. I have 3 reminders on my phone and 2 on the alarm setting. I will start in the morning. I have to I am not really losing anymore. And I really need to.

Keep me posted and all!

WHEN WILL you be banded do you know yet?

I am 6 down this week. working on more.

Hey could you send me the egg nog recipe please Jam2you? I would love to try it. I was banded on Feb 8 and I have lost 22 in a month. And I still use the liquid diet every so often. Thanks.

i don't do formal dancing i just play the music and dance like no one is watching. if some one is here i go to my room and do it just like i did when i was a teenager.

i am planning on spending the day outside if I can it is beautiful and I want to be out in it. i will be pulling weeds probably most of the day. is that considered exercise ????? I was wondering what types of exercise everyone does after surgery. i love to walk and and dance.
