Good Idea - December 11 Folks - Time to Check In

How is everyone doing?  Would love to hear from you guys!

December 2nd here HIT ONDERLAND THIS WEEK DOWN 80 POUNDS NOW AND LOVING MY RNY !!!
diabetes are within normal limits...83 fasting and loving not feeling like shi* any more my blood pressure was at 124/62 this morning which is great and my cholesterole is a nice 150.   how about you?

hello Rob,
 Things are going good for me. I have lost 68 pounds and my BMI is 39.0 which makes me obese, I started at 288 and a BMI of 51 super obese. I actually got into a size 16 jeans and I think that a 14 may fit, going shopping this weekend! Life is good, how are you doing?

What's up asking how everyones doing and not posting about how YOU'RE doing?  I had surgery on 12/11 and have lost 48 so far. Much slower than I expected, but I'll take it.  Hope things w/ your band are going well. Have you been in for fills yet?

Hey Kristy,

Yes I have been in for "fills".  Actually got the 2nd "fill" this morning and I feel really good about it.  I seem to have a lot more restriction with this second "fill".  The Lap Band system is great but does take a bit longer especially when your physician is conservative but its ALL GOOD.  I am down 35 lbs and as you say...I'll take it.  I think my weight loss will resume now that I have or seem to be getting the restriction from the band that I need.  Anyway, thanks for your reply....

take care,
Rob

35# gone is great!  I bet now that you've got alittle more restriction that will help even more.  One of the local MN girls has the band and I know her weight loss really increased once she started exercising. I think she does two 1/2 hr walks a day.  If I could only do that..... I'm just getting in a measily 15-20 minutes ONCE a day.

December 8th - Down 84 pounds since consultation - So happy!

Down 60 lbs.  Weight loss is slowing the last few weeks, but there are so many things I can do better.  I need to work on the following that I am stinking at currently:
- exercising
- getting my protein
- getting my fluids - i was also drinking crystal light iced tea until someone just today pointed out that they have caffeine, so I guess I will re-evaluate that.  Darn!
- getting enough sleep
- taking my vitamins
- creating a schedule for eating/drinking/vitamins.  I think that will help me.

Wow, that's just about everything!  Oh well, at least i know how to improve.  I really need to make the most of this weight loss window that i feel slipping through my fingers.

I had my RNY on 12/4/08 -I'm down 85 lbs!  YAY!!!!!!!

I"ve been trying to change my weight loss tracker but nothing I do seems to work so it's not reflecting a correct weight loss.
