All Is Well

I was banded on October 14, 2011. I am down 20 pounds. I was not given a bunch of rules, of what to eat or not eat, but my band is teaching me more than reading the rules has. I have had two fills and am at 3 CC in my band. I feel pretty good restriction. My doctor has moved me through the steps faster than most I have read on here. But so far so good. I am well and happy. I am going to try and post pics 1 per month of my progress. I have lost one clothing size. So I can finally wear the clothes I bought last diet I tried. I have been buying the next size down at yard sales. When I hit goal, I will buy a whole new wardrobe, but until then I am hitting the second hand stores and yard sales. I love reading the blogs here and the forums. I am thankful to have a site to teach me the in's and out's. Do any of you belong to a support group? We have one near my home and I am thinking about joining.

A support group near your home is awesome. At least "go and try it out"- each group has a different "feel" to it- so you can see if it's going to benefit you or not by trying one meeting first. You will know if you want to come back or not by the end of the meeting. I wish we had a support group near my home-but I'm finding comfort in some ladies at my work that had the band and are working out together.... my surgery date is Dec 20th- wish me luck!
