I did it slow and steady. You will be great!

Good luck to you!

I was bmi 36 at 225lbs. Good luck!

Thanks all! I appreciate the support

Hi guys. Just wanted to post an update and progress pic. It's a little over a year since surgery (banded 5/29/12). I'm down over 75lbs and in the normal bmi range. It's SO strange to be able to say that! Lol I'd still love to lose a little more weight to get to my goal. These last lbs are slow, but steady which is fine by me! My mind still has trouble catching up with my body, but looking at old pics now and then helps put things in perspective. Hope everyone's having a good summer!

I didn't tell anyone except my dad. I generally stick to soup whenever possible at a restaurant. It's not easy especially in the beginning stages, but it will get easier.

Looking good!

Great job!!

My highest was 225 and I think approx 215 on day of surgery.
