 I am still stuck!  I don't want to be a failed bander.  I am stepping up the exercise.

 My weight is going up and down, and I cannot get under 160 lbs.  I am on meds that cause weight gain.  Also, I have an injured knee which effects my workouts.I want to get to 130 or 135 lbs. I will be getting a fill in my band next month.  I would appreciate some advise from someone who has experienced this.

 I have started taking a med that causes weight gain.  I have suddenly gained four lbs!  If this continues, I am going off of it!  I try so hard to lose weight.  It does help me, but the weight gain is not worth it.

 I have one lb to go to make a 70 lb loss so far.  Yay!

 Slowly but surely, the inches and weight is coming off.

 I have lost 60 lbs so far.  I have forty more to go to make it to 130.

 I have been doing exercise every day.  I do Zumba mostly.  I tried spinning today, I found it to be a real challenge, but it was great exercise.  I am down to 188 and counting.  I get a fill a week from tomorrow, I am glad.  It is my second fill.  People are noticing my weight loss, that is motivating.  My husband does not say anything, I am not sure why.  I am glad to be a part of this support site.  I hope to get to a support group soon at my surgeon's office, I could really use the support.  I have been sticking to my doctors orders, except I could be eating more.  I will have to add some calories.  Michelle.

 I am happy about my weight loss.  I went from 128 to 191.  I am working on getting down to 130 lbs.  With exercise and proper diet, I can do it.  I exercise every day, and that helps.  I tried Zumba today, and it was fun.  I also look forward to getting to a support group at my doc's office, I have not been able to get to one yet.  We can all do this together!  Michelle.

 I am glad that I am down 35 lbs, but I still don't feel much restriction.  I hope that changes with a 2nd and 3rd fill.  I have read about people with failed bands.  I pray that this doesn't happen to me.  Happy New Year to everyone.  Michelle.

 I am down 31 lbs.  I understand that the lap band weight loss is slower, but I am glad that it is happeneing.  I am going for my first fill today.  Gee,  they waited a while to do that.  My surgery was on 11/10/11.  I have lost inches, and sizes.  That is the important thing.  Exercise had been helping.    Michelle.
