It's funny reading my first blog rant and how much I ate and all that. Well, I'm 55 lbs down and I think I'm doing quite well. Cutting most of my carbs out of my diet has helped a lot and I don't eat anything like I use to. Like that chinese buffet place. Nope. Don't do it. I think I'm going at a good pace.. not too fast.. not too slow. I didn't get the bypass, I got the band.. I'm not in any big hurry to drop 100 lbs.. I just want to be healthy. I have gone from a slightly baggy size 28 to a size 20. And I'm one pound away from being the weight I met my hubby at. That is so amazing. He's never seen me under that weight, except in pictures and I bet he will be super excited, just like I am!

 

I love my band!! It has been a great experience so far.

 

Words of advice - never let your band get too tight. You will be miserable and it can hamper your weightloss.
