I wanna go to the gym!!! I can't do it yet, Babbette(hernia) is preventing me from strenuous exercise...I am allowed to walk and that is it. I use the treadmill here at home and I am thinking about getting a stepper. My daug is going to take me to her gym so I can try a couple of items before I buy.

Ok, I'm a slaker! I am just now getting to the gym. How is everyone doing with exercise? I really want to lose and not be bulky with muscle - I want the numbers on the scale to continue to go down... What are you doing at the gym? Amie

wow Dave that is too cool I will have to pull out the one thing I kept from my old stuff! I bet you really couldn't beleive it could you? I have seen that on comercials but never in real life!!!! Congrads! (((hugs))) Shirley

I had my lapband placed in March and things are going very slow. I lost 19 lbs so far and most of that was within 2 months post-op. However I am down to a size 16 which I haven't been able to wear for years. I changed doctors and I am now getting fills at a hospital closer to my home. I've had 2 fills so far and I know I need another in order to feel the effect of being fuller after meals right now I don't feel that way and I eat things that I shouldn't. It can be very discouraging at time to read this board and see how well others are doing but I tell myself that we are all different and the weight will come off when I am properly filled. I have to admit that I don't exercise like I should either so of course the weight isn't going to just fall off. I know how the RNY folks are doing that had the surgery in March but I am very much interested in how the lapband folks are doing?

I started at a tight 26 and I am now down to a comfy 18! Yipeee! I love the clothes I can fit into now and I am lookin darn sexy! Congrats everyone! Amie
