Had a great 1 month check-up. I am onto phase 3 foods! BP was good. Doc was happy with my 45+lb weight loss. Back in 1 month for a possible fill.

Congrats on your current weight loss! Now, I have yet another person to use as motivation =]

I saw my neurologist today. Kinda scary, he told me if I hadn't lost all the weight this past year, there was a good chance I wouldn't have been able to walk anymore by now. It's amazing how much weight loss can effect every aspect of your health.

We to my 2 year check-up and got a tiny fill. My nurse was SO motivating! I am so glad I went and I'm focused on starting over. I gained 11 pounds back but I know I can do this!

I had big dreams of losing all my excess weight in one year, two years tops. I know what I need to do to lose the weight but need to stay motivated to do it!

ALMOST AT GOAL WEIGHT YAAA~!!

Post-op day 6. Less bloated. Still no desire for food. Still some shoulder and back discomfort. Incisions look great. Struggling to get in enough fluid and protein. After gaining 2 pounds post-op and retaining it for days, the scale has dropped 6 pounds.

Day 3 Post Op: Well, i think the worst of my nausea is behind me!!! So happy about that. I stopped my pain meds after the throwing up fiasco. Now i just need to be more diligent about getting all my fluid intake. I'm not managing what is required... yet. However, on a more positive note i can totally see where i lost my 17lbs of water weight (12 pre op diet & 5 post op surgery)! Every bit of it came off my calves and ankles. Except for ugly feet my lower legs actually...

Headed in the right direction! Lost about 5-7 of the 15 gained back but I feel my mind and body are ready to move on and get back on the horse!

Had a GREAT post op day! I am proud and grateful this evening. I've read several posts from others on this forum about having to deal with legitimate physical limitations (hopefully much of that will get better as the weight comes off), that make exercising VERY difficult, but yhey still work around it. It's impressive and a nice wake up call for the rest of us. We can move today, right now. Let's not waste this blessing.

Weight loss is slowing down. Time for a change!

how do you change weight on ticker

Yikes, gained 6 lbs and I feel it, went to md, my bp was hiked (over 6 lbs) need to quick the munching...

Started a food diary on myfitnesspal. It's like weight watchers but FREE! Once I get a calorie count from the doctor's office, I'm in business!

2nd day of preop diet. Tired as all get out, but down 3 lbs water weight already. Woo! 14 days to go...

2 years out, since I got my groovy band accessory... (I tell my grandkids that its a cool accessory,so that I don't freak them out too bad). I had lost 50 lbs.. gained about 10 lbs back... After a pep talk by another surgeon and my fill nurse, I'm back with the program and have lost about 4 lbs. in about 2 weeks. I had a lap band partner, but we no longer speak... so i am sort of soloing on this journey. No one really understands or was very supportive about it until I lost some weig...

I don't think I have many more clothes that I can go through that are TOO big! Just went through a duffle bag full of clothes and ended up putting most it in the donate pile! I bought some capris in May and I had add to them to the pile cause they were too big.... Its good to be losing weight but it makes me want to cry as I go through these clothes!

Getting back on track. Being miserable and regretful of my weekend weight gain was getting me nowhere. Onward and upward.

well it now July and Iam down to 236 as of this morning and finally hitting the green zone there are some thing I just can not eat any more but honestly I don't miss them either this is so different than being on a diet but it has turned out to be just what I needed to finally get a grip on my weight and make it a part of my past not my ever present struggle I have not found this to be hard to do at all far easier than some diets I have tried maybe because its not a diet it a change in a...

Big dissappointment today but more determined than ever that my lapband surgery is the right choice for me. I didn't make the same pace group for half marathon training that I made last year. I'm 1 minute slower than the minimum. So dissappointed I've gained 20 pounds since last season and hadn't been working out as hard as I should. I'm more determined to get the lapband surgery and continue to do what I love and that's run. Although slow now, I know in time I...

Met with the doctor yesterday and everything went amazingly! She was super sweet and she told me that since I have already lost so much weight she only wants me to lose another 10 pounds before the surgery, as long as all appointments fall into place I should be getting my surgery at the end of September! So excited!

I see you (weight) trying to sneak back into my life..

started jogging today...hope it will help speed up my weight loss
