I looked up about this, and I don't see how this would be effective for me... On low carb days it tells me to eat 117.6 to me that is very high... there is no way that my body would go in any type of ketosis with this level. When I stay under 60 carbs a day I will go into ketosis which then uses fat to fuel the body. And what they are telling me to eat in Protein is crazy 235.2? I struggle getting in the 60 a day the dr want's me to get in.. lol... And 98 grams of fat...???? this is what I am suppose to consume on low carb days...

thank you.. I will give it a try... anything is worth trying to see if I can find one that agrees with me... although sometimes you just had enough getting sick, your afraid to do it again.. hahaha.. but I really want to find one so I must risk getting ill..

Well I got a lovely message that today I have been signed up here for 2 years. yayyyy. Well I did go ahead with my surgery on June 6th 2011. I am doing well, Am struggling with getting the last 40 pounds off that I would like to lose, but I can not complain losing over 100 pounds and keeping it off. Right now I am working on some Vitamin deficiency's nothing to do with the band, vit B12 shots and mega doses of D. And hope once I get feeling better I will be able to lose the rest. I am very proud of myself, and very happy I decided to go ahead with the surgery. I went from a size 24 in jeans to a 10-12. Sometimes I still can't notice in the mirror the changes, pictures work wonders for me to see my progress. I no longer have to use a cpap machine, my blood pressure is great, and no longer at risk for type 2 diabetes. I have not had to have a fill in over a year. Holding very well. Anyways, I wanted to let you all know how my journey has turned out, and share some photo's

Congrats!

​You look amazing! Congratulations on 2 years. No one can tell someone what size is good for them, that has to come from your self. I have never been thinner than a 12 and that was for a very short time, maybe 6 months. I don't know where I want to go but I am happy. When i look in the mirror sometimes I see Fat me and sometimes, thinner me. I do understand.

Congratulations! You look amazing!

Thanks so much for posting! Seems like so many go off and do well, but never come back and post there success.
And you look amazing!!! WTG

You look amazing! Great job. I just passed my 2-year mark myself. I agree those last 20-25 pounds are a bugger! I'm not going to stress about it though. I went from a 24/26 to now an 8 (almost 6 if I don't want to breathe LOL). I can't complain.

Wow!! You look great! Thank you for sharing your story! I was banded 9 days ago and love reading success stories like yours! I can tell a huge difference!

It DOES take time. I've been through it a few times

Congats!!

You look fabulous! congratulations!!!

Melissa - you look Amazing!! Really, sometimes you can't see that in the mirror?? That is quite the transformation. And congrats on keeping the weight off! When you are ready to give it an extra push, those last pounds will come off. But I have to tell you......if you stay right where you are, you are FINE!

Congrats you look gorgeous!

Looking good! I too have about 25 more lbs I want to lose and I've been maintaining for about 7 months now. I have to say it's so much easier to maintain my current weight with the band. I know if I really wanted to lose more lbs all I have to do is drop a few calories a day and pick up my exercise program. Now that the weather here is cooperating, that's what I'm doing. It may not totally happen this year, but by 2014 I should hit my goal.

WOW. ! Congratulations. !

You look great! congrats on your 2 year anniversary!

Fantastical!

You look amazing!!

Thank you, Yeah looking in the mirror is weird still to me. I hear that it can take the mind time to catch up with big weight loss.
