Im new to lapband talk. i was banded in Feb of this year. only lost 36 since then, broke my leg 2 months ago and it really set me back not being able to do my exercise program. i feel that is an essential part of the transition in wt loss. hopefully i can get back on track after my ortho md releases me next week. i had a goal of 50 pounds by Christmas. still hope to get there. it is slow losing as i am hypothyroid and i am 51, but i dont give up hope. dont want to be fat anymore. :confused:

Welcome to the forum.

Slow but steady wins the race.

A goal is something nice when it is achieved, but a goal must never be allowed to instill a feeling of failure. If you do not make your goal by Christmas, then allow reaching your goal to be your Valentine's Day reward. :clap2:

Welcome Kaydee,

The good thing is that you know what you need to do, once you have the ok, to exercise. Heal properly, then get back on track. Above all, don't give up hope. :biggrin1:
