Been AWOL for 2 months (on a plateau). Had my first fill two days ago and hit onderland today!

OMG...Stomach flu (Day 4)...This is not how I planned on losing weight. I hope this ends soon.

BMI is 30 today! I am officially overweight and not obese. Onederland is next goal!

The 3 week plateau has finally ended! That was a frustrating 3 weeks.

I knew it would happen...I just didn't know when. Plateaued for 2 weeks and it is discouraging. Hopefully next week is better.

Size 14 clothes now fit! Bye, bye 16's...it's off to Goodwill. But, if I want to feel thinner, just put on those Tommy Hilfiger, size 12's...sometimes vanity sizing is good.

Got into those size 12 jeans! Can't wear them yet,as I look like 10 pounds of jelly stuffed into a 5 pound bag.

Good day! I am down 50+ pounds and 4 clothing sizes! Next goals...BMI under 30 and onderland.

NSV...Here's what weight loss has done. I visited my doctor yesterday. My blood pressure is now normal, my cholesterol is normal and I'm off the meds and my blood glucose is normal (no diabetes)! What a good day.

Well I wondered if this would happen! My hair has joined the weight loss programme. I am currently plugging drains around the planet!

Back from 10 day holiday! I didn't gain/lose weight...but I did drink wine and eat chocolate daily! Vacation over and back the real world.

NSV story...Packing for a vacation next week...I found a pair of board shorts I bought last year (Size XL). Needless to say, I couldn't even get them on last year. Tryed them on this morning and they fit! Woo Hoo...I am finally getting into normal sized clothes. This is like Christmas in January, what a gift.

I finally weigh less than 100kg! Next goals are to get my BMI under 30 and enter one-derland.

Happy New Year everyone! No weight loss/gain for a couple of weeks, but now that the Christmas season is done, I am starting to lose weight again! Yay!

Three months since starting the diet and 2 months since surgery...no fills yet. I've lost one third of the weight I need to lose to reach my goal weight!

Back from England! I didn't lose any weight...but I didn't gain any, either. So back to eating properly and hopefully the weight loss continues.

My first overseas trip since surgery...I hope all goes well. At least the plane seats should be more comfortable!

NSV today...The first person to notice that I looked better is my banker. I only see her a couple of times a year, but it was nice that someone finally said something!

Went shopping today and tried on a Size 14 Michael Kors dress...It looked awful, but I got it zipped up! Woo hoo!

Hi, I was banded in Vancouver on October 17th, 2011 at the Cambie surgical center. My doctor is Dr. Phillip Mitchell and he is based out of Calgary. The staff and doctor are great. You can go to the website at swlc.com for more information.

It's been almost a month since surgery and I am finally feeling normal again! And the weight continues to drop off.

The weight loss has slowed, but I am still dropping! Yeah! I'm less than a hundred to lose to goal weight.

Squeezed into my size smaller jeans today...boy, were they tight. New rule...I am not going to wear clothes that hurt me anymore. Return to the baggy pants and try again in a couple of weeks!

Re: your question on protein shakes...My doctor recommended Meditrim and I ordered them directly from the company. I didn't really like them much and ended up with 7 extra boxes! Too bad you're not in Calgary or I would give them to you.
