Just had my first fill today! 1lb weight loss in 2 weeks....blah!

Please Keep posting your pictures on your weight loss progress It gives me inspiration!!!

I will be MIA for awhile... we totaled out with 3 deaths in my family in the past two weeks and I have decided to fall to statistics and get a divorce.. Hope all my friends continue doing well in their weight loss journey..

Hit the 230's today....239 to be exact...haven't seen those numbers since last summer....amazing that I've taken off the weight that I've gained in 1 year in the course of 1 month! LOVE THE LAP BAND!!

Going in for my 2nd fill this Thursday and I haven't lost any weight in over a month. Getting really frustrated and disappointed.

Hi guys... I hope all is well with everyone. Since my first fill I feel like I have been hungrier thean EVER...

I did nt get discourage but I was pissed. Then all of a sudden last week BAM!!! I started dropping weight li...

Day six of post op..... I feel really good!! I have not weighed myself to see if I lost any weight. However, I am so happy that I made a decision to change my life for the better that I am still thrilled about that.

One of my first weight loss goals obtained. I am now below 300 lbs. Since the start of my journey I have lost 75 lbs. Feeling amazing right now!

Currently, I am 171 pds...I am 5' 10. My bandiversay is 3/28/08...My forth anniversay is approaching. I have maintained my weight very welll but I really need get healthier got to eat more protein....

Today was a great learning experience. I had my first consultation with the surgeon. I have to do a 90 supervised diet program prior for insurance requirement. I think I can lose 100lbs but Dr said most patients lose 40-45% of their excess weight

Excited to start losing weight again!!!!

same start weight! woohoo lol

Hi Sweetie!

I KNOW exactly what you mean about ending up where the people you help out are!! LOL!! I had to get out... I graduated from college with a Sociology degree in 2002 and thought I could conquer the worlds crap! I worked in a methadone clinic for five long years... there some people that I think I might have helped, but for the most part it was an uphill battle.... it was incredibly stressful! I think that is one of the reasons I gained a lot of my weight... I would see other girls come in and they would be "normal" weight and within a year, they would be so much bigger... I saw that happen more than once... Just make sure to take care of yourself... I think that we as caregivers are pouring ourselves into others that we forget about ourselves... I'm so glad that you got the lapband... you did that for you... You go girl!! :0) It sounds like you do have a stressful job and I kind of know where you are coming from... if you ever need to vent... and I'm sure you do, you can always talk/write to me! Hugs!

The band is most definitely worth it. I've always been overweight & had been able to lose up to like 60lb but then just gain it all back. The weightloss in the beginning was very fast & but didn't seem that dramatic. Now that I'm down & losing like 5-10lb a month, I'm seeing more results. But yeah, I think the band is more than worth it.

Hi Trina, Sorry I took so long. I haven't been on the site for a while. I will add you to my friend list. How is your weight lost going? My is getting a little harder now but trying to get on back. Talk to you later!

Hi Snuffy! Here's my latest weight update for the spreadsheet - as of today 65.2 pounds gone forever!!!! Hope all is well with you! Music Mom
