Almost Six Months

By marw

Well . . almost 6 months since my surgery, but it has been 6 months since I started the pre-op diet on July 1st and I've lost 70 pounds. I love my band (which I've named J. Giels - the J. Giels Band). I hope you are all doing well . . . where are all my "old" band buddies? We've lost each other on this new site design.

    You go girl. I am so glad you have found your way back here to list a blog. I really miss the old site, but we have to work with what we have. Love the name of your band.

    70 lbs is great - I'm at 69.

    Today is my 1 year anniversary of being cancer free and I am so excited, proud and just plain happy. Keep in touch and keep posting.

    I can only hope that in 6 months I will be posting a 70lb weight loss. I will be banded on 1-11-11. Any good suggestions to pass on other than watch what you eat. I have been reading were some got banded and eat what they want but only in a smaller portion due to the band and the weight is just coming off.

    HI, great to see you back on here! I am down 54 lbs and so excited about that being 5 months out. This site has taken me some time to get use to it. However, the more I play around with it...the better it gets. :rolleyes:
