definitely- I want to get back on the wagon with you. I had my band replaced in

October and it is not the same strength. Now it's up to me.

Hi, Joan - welcome to the " Club " . :-)

Not sure what you mean, though, about the " band not being the same strength. "

All bands work exactly the same, and take different fill amounts individual to

YOU, to work well. No band is any " weaker " or " stronger " than any others. What

did your doc tell you that led you to believe this?

All bands are equally as effective with a good fill - and actually, the newer

bands are much SAFER and less likely to have slips or erosions.

I am in!

I got my band in March of 2009 and I lost 25-30lbs and have just yo-yoed about

10 of those lbs for the past year and-a-half. I am still at least 40 lbs from

my goal.

I need to get back on the wagon....

Yes, sign me up! I was horrified to realize that I've put almost 30 lbs back on

just over the last six months or so... lots of stress-eating recently! I've got

my food under control again, cut soda out of my diet (I've been drinking Coke

like a fish lately after not drinking any for over a year), and am getting back

on the fitness wagon when we bring the treadmill inside tomorrow. Feeling

better, lighter, happier after just a week on plan! Eating my own home-cooked

meals made of real FOOD is so much better in every way than continuing with the

processed junk we've been eating.

It's so hard to pull yourself out of the sugar fog, some motivation is very much

needed!

Thanks, Sandy!

weeks ago and still have another 5 weeks of no weight-bearing...

Exercise is tough foir many of us. But we just HAVE to set aside time to do it -

and time to take care of ourselves. small things add up, too - take the stairs,

not the escalator. Park further away from work or store, walk whenever possible.

Use a treadmill or elliptical when watching TV in the evening, etc. See the

" exercise " document here for more ideas and info..

Nice try.. :-) :-) :-) but no excuses! What about chair exercises? Lifting

arm weights? There is always SOMEthing we can do..

(Easy for me to say, but just as hard for ME to do)

I do basic bed leg exercises for strengthening my quads, but havent done any arm

weights...although my crutches do provide a heck f an arm workout. :-)
