Things are going great, slowly losing the weight but gaining alot of

muscle since I work out 5 days a week about 1 1/2 hrs each time. I

have to say the gym has been a lifesaver mentally, since I work in a

locked psych facility and things can get really really hectic. My

band is working great, still have some restriction but I know I'll

need a fill in a couple of months, which will make my second fill

since April. If anyone is planning on going towards the end of Sept

let me know, I'll be having my fill Sept 25th.

As for those who are new, welcome aboard...follow the rules and

you'll do just fine. Give your body a chance to begin to lose

weight...remember the band has probably shocked the system. Drink

lots of water, that helps with the weightloss tremendously. I've

worked out since I had the surgery, starting out slowly with doing

short walks to then walking 3 miles a day, to now working out at the

gym to work all the muscles. Take it one step at a time, and you'll

be successful. Believe me, losing slowly is good cause you wont have

that excess skin...I know it's hard to say that cause I too want it

off NOW...but in the long run we wont regret it.

Take Care!

Hi all, Sorry I have not been participating latly I changed to G-mail and im sure for some its great but I am just having a hard time keeping up with everything with it.So I am going to go back to . Anyways HAPPY EASTER!!!! hope you all have a great time with family and friends. While im taking the time to post I guess I will let you all know how im doing. I went down to Mexicali on 3/28 and got my 3rd fill bringing me to a grand total of 6.6ccs in my 11cc band I started out this venture (12/08/06) with wearing a very tight 48 pants you know how it is not wanting to go to the next size and willing to live through the waist cutting into your gut. Today I put on a pair of size 42 pants and they feel great!!! I am down 60 lb. I had two great None scalers this week I took my nephew to Mcdonalds (yuck) he set his try at one of those tables were the seats don't move and I was going to do

the half cheek thing because I dont fit in those stupid things Well now im a two cheeker the whole butt fits in with room to spare I know im a guy and everything but I almost cried... I also this week because I own a Karaoke company went to go out and see how things were going at one of the places I have a system in and was told before leaving my house to go change the shirt that I was wearing (that I had a hard time fitting into before) I was told it looked like a dress on me. I think its time to find someone who would like a closet full of clothes??? :~))
