Thank you, Julie. I have been reading alot from this site since having off from work these 2 weeks. Everyone is so very helpful in keeping the spirit up and filling in the dots when not sure of something.

Got my first fill and it feels good lol! I am now down 42 lbs. Yeii. I have been following my diet and eating Proteins like a maniac and living in the gym(work out 3 times a week for an hour then the rest of the days I walk for 30 to 45 minutes). I notice when I hit the gym and eat my proteins the weight goes down. I hope you are all doing well!!!!

Thank you Penny and Julie:thumbup:! Well when I hit the gym I mostly use the treadmill and I do step aerobics. I take the stairs everywhere I go. Sometimes will walk up to the 6th floor, down again and back up as an exercise. I also use weights but only to tone my arms. I want to work on the abs but I dont think that is a good idea yet. Probably work on that in January.

Everyone sheds the pounds off at a different rate so yes Penny you can rub up against me!! lol. My aunt had gastric bypass a few years ago so she is teaching me all she knows and it has been very helpful. I cant wait to hit my first goal :rolleyes2:

Another Wii Fit lover here!My biggest problem is making excuse not to go out and exercise (the gym's too far, it's too cold, wah, wah, bitch, moan) and this takes away all those excuses. It may not be as strenuous as, say, running a mile, but it's SOMETHING.

OMG I need to exercise! My SIL has a wii fit. I watched her do it. Does that count?

Hi from Ireland,

Was banded in Brussels in october, had my first fill today. I have been using this site alot and found it very useful.I am wondering has anyone of my 'vintage' been having any problems with severe pain in their chest (between the boobs) usually in the evening and if so what has helped to ease it.

Another Wii Fit lover here. I really like the yoga, even though I don't do very well at the ones on one leg. I also love the step aerobics. I try to get in a half hour every night, and while it isn't as strenuous as it could be, it's still a lot of fun. My daughter and I do it together, too, which helps.

Moirak sounds like gas pains...I had them for a few days/week after the surgery and I had to learn to eat early and not lie down until several several hours after I ate. Heating pad works as well as moving around or sleep with your head elevated a bit.

Hi Moira,

I have pain there, not severe and its all the time. I feel like something has taken hold of the middle of my chest, is squeezing and won't let go. So far I've only found relief in panadeine (strong panadol). I did find that with my pain in general, if I ate more then it lessened. I put this down to not taking in enough calories to maintain my body properly. Not sure if that would help at all.
