I cook big old country dinners for my hubby every night as i settle in for a protein shake. and trust me it's hard, but getting easier as it goes, not quite as hungry as i was in the begining. but I just don't seem to be dropping any weight, just maintaining at this point. would love to lose about 15lbs before surgery. But at this point i don't see it happening so i'll just take what i get. good luck to you!

But you have a great idea...i think that i'll start planning my cruise now. Won't it be wonderful to be much healthier by 50. it truely will be fab. NOT GOING TO LIE...1st month is hard, but you can do it. Plus you will probably loose quickly during this time. Good luck & keep us posted.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the flat tummy. I was talking to a lady today whose friend died from a blood clot following a tt so I think it may just be underwires and spanx for me (ha ha)!

It's amazing to me to be in my late 40's and feel better than I did in my late 30's!
Congrats to all of you getting ready to jump on the band wagon!

Hi everyone!
This looks like just the site I need. I am 48 and have been banded for 17 months and have had not too bad a loss all could be more right??? I have been stalled for the last 4 months, not gaining but not losing either. Which in its self something that I have never done before. I am so happy with this band and would never want to be with out my new Best friend. I am thinking TT but was wondering how close to goal weight you need to be before they will even concider it?
What a good idea to celibrate 50...a cruise...I too am going to start planning.
Look forward to chatting with you all.

Rosi, that is awesome. I recently joined a gym as well. At first, it may seem like a chore to go, but after a couple of weeks, you will feel bad if you don't go.

How did you lose so much weight in such a short time? I am working my butt off to get to 30lbs. I was banded on May 1st. I did not do a pre-op diet, so 30 is since my surgery. I have had 3 fills and feel that I could use even more restriction.
I injured my knee about 3 weeks ago, so I haven't been able to do any cardio.... even walking makes my knee hurt. I tried rebounding 2 days ago, but my knee felt like it was going to "pop" out of the socket. I guess I should see a DR if it doesn't improve.......
Best of everything to you... Kudos for such success!!!

Hi Gang -- don't think I've been in here before. But according to my driver's license, it's where I belong!
I turned 46 in July, but seeing as I'm almost 100 lbs lighter than I have been in the last decade -- I feel 26!!
