Moving Forward!
Mar 26, 2009
I haven't been on the board in a while, but feel like the support would be very helpful right now! I have lost about 42 pounds after lap band surgery December of 07. I didn't go about it the right way, but now I get it!
I only lost 30 pounds the first year out and then was at a stand still. I didn't exercise! Duh! I am now participating in a weight loss challenge with coworkers and have lost 16.25 pounds in 11 weeks. I am feeling motivated and pretty good about myself. I have a long way to go, but feel like I can really do this this time around. The band keeps the weight down once I have lost it and I don't have any regrets about getting it done. It just takes longer for the loss to happen than with the RNY.
I just wanted to share with those that have had the lap band and are feeling discouraged. Exercise and hang in there and it will happen!
