A new year , a new me

I had my lapband surgery on April 15th, 2008. Since then I have had 4 band fills and have lost 50 pounds. I feel so much better already. I don't think I will need any future fills as I am eating about a 1/4 cup now, I think I would be puking if I fill it again. I hope to post photos as I begin this journey to a new healthier me.:thumbup:

Good for you, Alpine! I was glad to see your post....I had my surgery about 3 weeks after you and I was discouraged at first with very slow weight loss. Around September, everything started to kick in and I've been losing about a pound a week consistently. I'm down 43 pounds now.....by your post it looks like that is right where I should be. Although everyone is different, I guess.
