Mrs. CMK

Thank you! I had my surgery on 5/23/12 but with the liquid diet, I consider my start date as 5/16/12. As of this morning I have lost 87 lbs. So it has been 9 months.

I finally feel comfortable in sharing some before and after pictures. Still working at it but I feel good about my progress so far.

Today I Celebrate my 1st bandiversary. Although I hoped to be in wunderland at this mark, I am only a couple of pounds away! I could not be happier to be down 102 lbs! WooooHooooo!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary!!! Congratulations, you are doing fantastic!

Congrats! You are doing awesome. You should be extremely proud.

Have you tried jogging your metabolism? Several people on the forum have tried something called "carb cycling" with success. Alternating between high carb and low carb days to jumpstart your weight loss when it is at a plateau. I have not tried it yet but have it in my hip pocket, ready to use, when I hit that plateau. I am no expert on it but you can put "carb cycling" in the search field on this forum and there is all kinds of information. Of course, you can google it too. Hope that helps.
God Bless

Welcome to the lapband family! So glad you are here. It is hard work and a great tool when used correctly and oh so worth it! I wish you all the best and look forward to hearing about your success. A good support system is so important and I am glad to hear you have it.
God Bless

So as of this morning I am down 92 lbs. Egads! I am beyond excited. 8 more lbs and I am buying myself a Kindle Fire. Yes, I could go out and buy it now but I am determined to wait until I meet that 100 lb lost goal. In the past, I could never meet a weight loss goal. I am going to stick to my commitment that I made myself. For me, I found that small goals work best. My bandiversary is on May 23rd. My goal is to be living in "wunderland" by that date. If I am at 199, I will have met that goal. That is my focus right now. When I meet it, there will be some celebrating going on! If you hear a loud noises from the St. Louis area, you will know that is me hoopin and hollerin! In 2 weeks I am going to see my dad for the first time since October. I know he is going to gush all over me and be so proud. I'm not gonna lie....I love that! Thanks for letting me share.
