9 Weeks and 4 Days

I am 9 weeks and 4 day into this journey. I have lost almost 35 lbs. I was stuck at 185 for what seemed like forever to me, but was really only about a week. I even gained a pound before starting to lose again.

 

I think I am doing pretty good and am pleased. As I get to each new lower weight, I can't believe it. I am about to have to stop wearing some of my bigger clothes, because they're just starting to be too big (yay)!

 

I've taken some pictures, but my dogs chewed the USB cord and I don't know when I'll be able to upload again.

 

I know I am having the most trouble, with really wanting to eat more. I stop eating though, after I've eaten what I measure out. I still get paranoid about whether or not I'm eating too much at a meal. Realistically, I'm probably doing just find, but like I said I am paranoid.

 

I tried to schedule another fill for this coming week or next week before Thanksgiving, but I can't get in for my 3rd fill until December 3rd. I guess that should be okay. I'm exercising 45-60 minutes a day. Cardio and light weights w/more reps to build muscle.

 

Well, I better close for now. I hope everyone else is doing good. One last thing, I'm interested in knowing how many people use this website as their main form of support? I went through TrueResults and have not gone to any support meetings provided by them. I don't think I've needed them. This is working for me just fine.

Lemonchick you are doing great. I do use this site as my main form of support. The support group that my doctor offers is mostly geared toward the gastric bypass patients. I have found this site to really help keep me focused and on track. Good luck on your journey!

I have been on here almost daily since July 2009 and I love it for support and the most reliable information, cause you can really find out a lot from those who have HAD this surgery here. The Doctor I used, could put them in very well, but had not experienced having a band, the feelings, the emotions, nothing like what good folks on here will share with you, here you don't get it always sugar-coated, but you get the real information you want, true and honest! That is the only way to understand how to live with the wonderful band. Praying for you and your journey to happiness with the band.
