Today I told my dr. My goal is 170. Started out at 240. Weighed 201 today. For my height 170 would still be in the overweight range, bmi of 25. But she said that is a very healthy goal. She said bmi doesn't always take everything into consideration like muscle mass. I have lost 5 bmi points already. Whoo hoo!

Quite a day!! Congrats!

I am joining the January 2012 group. No recent posts but I hope u r out there?.. I was banded 1.5.12. I have lost 39 lbs. I still do not feel restriction. Next fill ( no. 5) is in 2 weeks. I have a 14 cc band. Not sure how much is in it. I try to follow all the rules, have messed up some! I would like to feel a little restriction b/c I can eat a lot!

I did a fill every two weeks for 6 weeks then once month . So 4 fills so far since my surgery 1.5.12. I still do not feel restriction. I have lost 39 lbs. Have now started to gain a couple of lbs. Back. My next fill isn't until 5.30.12. Wish it was sooner.

There was someone about a week ago talking about cool lipo. I googled it and it sounds great. Gets rid if fat and boosts collagen so skin shrinks. I hope whoever that was let's us know how it turned out for her!

It looks spreadable when mixed with Water but I didn't try. Someone said to reconstitute it with honey or sugar free jelly. I have never had food get stuck (yet). I was banded 1.5.12, have had 4 fills plus 4 cc left in the 14 cc band after surgery. Have lost 37 lbs. My daughter was banded same day. She has had numerous stuck incidents and two unfills. She has not lost much, is very frustrated. Guess she is not my clone. Just goes to show everybody is different. Thanks for the ideas on how to use PB2.

My PB2 arrived today from amazon. Mixed some up with water and ate it off the spoon. Satisfied my need for a treat. Really good stuff. 85 percent less fat and calories than regular peanut butter. The peanuts are slow roasted then pressed to remove the fat and oil. 2T is 45 calories. The possibilities are endless. Thanks to whoever suggested it.
