I'm ready to be at my sweet spot.....

I had my filled yesterday. I think it was my 7th or 8th filled. Oct. 29, 2009 my birthday I will be banded for 1 yr.

Seem like my LAP-BAND®® is different from others a little. After people get there second filled and most times there first, they get full quicker and eat less. Me on the other hand I have still been able to eat a nice size portion meal. Granted it is less than what I normally eat. Also I see a lot of people can't eat bread, pasta, rice, hamburgers & etc. I still can...

Been in boot camp for 3 weeks. Have 3 more weeks to go

Posted 09-03-2009 at 09:18 AM by sarahp626 (My life since I been banded!)

I started working out at the track from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. and then off to work 7 to 5:30. I do two 15 minute walks at work also.

I must say I am proud of myself. I have been out there every day (Monday thru Fridays)

I am not losing any weight. I keep bouncing back and forth from losing 3 lbs and gaining it back. When I weighed myself today I had lose 1.5 of the 3 lbs I gained. But a day or two later I gaines it back. On a brighter note I am losing inches.

Had a great work out & feeling great!

Posted 07-29-2009 at 09:41 PM by sarahp626 (My life since I been banded!)

Despite my 4 lb gain. I have started back working out and I forgot how good working out makes me feel. I'm still out of shape a little since I hadn't worked out in 4 to 5 weeks. But it just feels good to keep moving. I haven't weighed myself. I'm nervous that I haven't lost anything and I don't want to get discouraged. I am 30 lbs away from my goal. It sort of seems like that's a lot since I'm not losing fast. But looking at the big picture its really not. I can lose that by my birthday,...

It's easier to stay on track....than fall off and start over!

Well I have started back excersing really good. I work out in the morning and evening. Also I walk on my morning 15 minute break. I must say its harder starting all over again. It makes me more disappointed in myself for ever stopping. But I got to suck it up and keep on going. I knew I was going to do this. That's why I gave away all my big clothes when I lost my 50 lbs. My size 10 is getting too tight and I am wearing mostly my size 12. I also brought some more cute size 10 hand me downs. That...
