4/18/08 - 15 month banding anniversary

Today marks 15 months since my banding experience. I've done horribly the last 6 months, but I'm finally back on track and I will reach my goal by my 2 year, that is a promise!

Here is my weight history

Highest weight - 248

1 mo post op - 206.8

2 mo post op - 198

3 mo post op - 193

4 mo post op - 184.2

5 mo post op - 178

6 mo post op – 174

7 mo post op - 178 - went on vacation and ate big (7 day cruise)

8 mo post op - 174

9 mo post op - 170

10 mo post op- 167

11 mo post op - 170 - haven’t even been trying

12 mo post op - 174 - again, not trying. But finally refocused - exactly where I was at 6 mos post op – so basically no weight loss in the past 6 mos

13 mo post op - 183 - Ouch! started taking steroids and made my weight go up, along with not eating right and no exercise!

14 mo post op - 185 - grrrrr

15 mo post op - 180 - weight is finally going down, but inches are actually coming off faster since I've been exercising a lot.

I think my 16 month band anniversary will be better, I should see some bigger results by then!

I hate that I allowed the scales to go up! But nothing I can do about it now except bring it back down again. And thats what I plan on doing.

My menu today:

Bfast - scrambled egg & sausage

Lunch - not sure yet, get off work early

Dinner

Exercise - Plan on going to gym this afternoon to work lower body

Please let me know what you think happened the six months. i am just getting started and want to learn from others.

Dsa - you might read thru my journal, but in a nut shell, I had some troubles that came my way and I quit trying. I ate what I wanted and just didn't care. The good news, Pre band, I would have gained all my weight back and plus some, so the band at least keeps me from doing that!
