I went on Saturday with a friend interested in Lap Band surgery to the informational meeting offered by my surgeon.  He said that the recommended weights are just arbitrary numbers and that he does not strictly adhere to them.  He said that you should lose the amount of weight that makes you feel healthy and gets rid of as many of your other "issues" as possible (high blood pressure, diabetes, etc). 

My recommended weight is 140lbs.  There is NO way that I would try to get to 140 lbs....I think I would look sick.  But that is me.  You have to get to where you are comfortable and healthy. 

This is just my $.02...I am still learning about all of this as well!! 

Down one again...sort of...it's been up and down the past week with the same pound and al half.  My calorie intake is between 800-1000 but I have really started with the exercise.  I have amazingly managed to work out every day for the last week for 30-50 minutes.  Hoping that is what is stalling my weight loss and that it will start again soon!

Congratulations to both Butterfly and Brock!!  Way to go!!

I LOVE mine!!  We have Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Active.  I have been slacking for a while but I got back on yesterday and did a 40 minute workout!!  

I lost 2.4!!!  Yeah for me!!

I have a hard time with exercise...I have good intentions but then jsut don't do it.

I am committing to more exercise!!!

Count me in please!!  I would like 15 gone by Christmas!

Thank you all for your quick responses!!  I did have a tube during the surgery but it doesn't seem to be that kind of pain. 

I do not have it all the time, but it is not limited to only when I eat.  I seems like it may be gas becuase it happens when I burp but doesn't the gas ever get out??? 

Way to go!!!!

Congratulations!! Way to go!!
