9 Months Since Surgery!

I'm in the Under 200 Club now! Not by much, but even reaching that point is a huge success for me. I had set a goal to be 190 lbs by the end of April and even though I didn't achieve that goal, I came very close - and I'm very proud of myself. I'm on average losing around 5 lbs. a month and hope that over summer with more activity I can increase the amount.   I had another fill on April 24 and am feeling great. Dr. Curry said I'm at my "sweet spot" and should be able to stay without a fill un

6 months!

I can't believe it's been six months since my surgery! Things are going great. I've lost over 55 lbs and am still working. Only a few more lbs and I'll be under 200!   The holidays were difficult for me and I ate a lot of high carbs food, but got back on track pretty quickly and am starting to put more effort into my workouts. I just bought a game for the Wii called My Fitness Coach and it's really a lot of fun and provides great exercise.   My birthday is at the end of April and I hope to

Keeping You Updated

I had my third fill on November 5. I am really now feeling restriction! The weight is starting to speed up dropping off and I'm feeling confident. I've become a lot more committed to eating healthy and not relying on food to occupy my time.   With the weather getting cold I'm working out indoors on an elliptical machine. I've only been doing it a week and can only manage about 20 minutes (2 miles) 4 times a week. It's a lot harder than just walking or biking!! It's a great feeling to reach th

Being a vegetarian isn't easy

I've been a vegetarian since 2004 and have really been happy with my choice. However, since surgery I'm finding it difficult to find foods that are high protein/low carb for vegetarians. Obviously there's fresh veggies and fruit and tofu, but sometimes I just want a comforting snack (potato chips, grilled cheese...)   I'm searching for some good suggestions of easy to make meals or snacks for someone who is a vegetarian. I am looking for high protein/low carb... and have lots of things I make,

First Fill!

Today is the official 1 month mark since my surgery, and it was also my first fill. I am really surprised at how quick and painless the fill was. It took only 10 minutes for the whole visit and I was able to watch the process on the xray monitor. Really an interesting thing to see in action!   I have 3.4 cc's right now, and am scheduled for my second fill on Oct. 1.   I still haven't told a lot of people about my surgery... including work, some friends, and some family. I just told them I h

Almost 1 Month After Surgery

It's been almost one month since my surgery date. Things have been going great! I've lost 13 lbs. total since I started the liquid pre-op diet up until now. Working on losing more. I can eat pretty much anything I want, and have been doing pretty well. Every once in a while I sneak in a snack. Bad habit to break, but I'm really working on it! One scoop of ice cream is better than the whole pint, for sure!   Looking forward to my first fill on Sept. 4. I had to push the date back due to schedu

On My Way! Just Starting Out

Just had my band surgery done on Aug. 4, 2009. I'm still recovering and working through the "pureed foods" diet. Feeling really great so far. I have had a few cravings for chocolate or sweets, but fight them off with a glass of water and a walk. Getting the motivation to work out for 30 minutes is tough, especially when I'm still sore.   I'm scheduled for my first fill on Sept. 1, 2009.   I want to tell everyone on here that you are so encouraging when you share your success and struggles a
