Of course!

Congrats to you on being banded! I'm a month in and I can tell you it gets so much better. I live in Titusville and had Dr. Fusco as my surgeon. Did Dr. Fusco do your surgery? I've lost 28lbs since my surgery (Aug 27th), its still so unbelievable! Let me know if there's anything I can help you with...not that I'm an expert but I have learned a lot!

I got on here tonight looking for inspiration and there you were! Congrats to you and your weight loss but more importantly the way the weight loss has made you feel! Thanks for the inspiration, I needed that!!!

Checking in today @ 348.4...down another 3.6lbs! I know you guys hear it every week but I am still just so amazed at the weight loss every week!

Hey Danielle and August banders...we're a month post op, how are you all feeling? Have you guys had a fill yet? Weight loss? What and how are you eating? I had my first fill this past Thursday, haven't really noticed too much of a difference. My doctor is a fill nazi...he refuses to tell me how much he's put in my band, I had to beg him to find out what size band I have. He said he doesn't want me to get hung up on the amount of fluid in the band as to not get "band envy"( ie this person has 6cc and has lost x amt of weight or this person has 10cc and has lost that amt of weight etc). I've lost 25lbs thus far...I weigh in again tomorrow. I pretty much eat what the family eats minus any bread or buns. I didn't want to have to cook 2 meals. I've been out to eat and have done real good. Even celebrated my 40th bday last weekend with the girls and had a couple drinks ( I know bad girl) and really enjoyed myself without it being surrounded around food. So glad I started this journey, hope this finds you all well and your journey has been as great as mine has been so far!

Checking in this Satutday at 342lbs.... So down another 2.4lbs! Had some challenges this week...I turned the BIG 40 on Thursday and had the smallest ever piece of cake but felt super guilty. And a co-worker brought me Starbucks! But yesterday I threw the rest of a quarter sheet birthday cake in the trash and put Starbucks behind me. I've got to stop with the guilt thing, it sabotages me every time!

Stick to doctors orders, don't cheat yourself. You've taken such a big step in the right direction use this tool to its fullest potential. Good luck to you and here's to a nice loss next Saturday!

No worries, you can do it!

You couldn't be more right! I was banded 3 weeks ago...best decision of my life! Good luck to you.

You can do it!

But still in onederland! You can do it!

Checking in today @ 344.4...down another 4.2lbs! And already past my goal of 345 for the month. New goal: 338 Is anyone as amazed as I am at how incredible that is? I've only been banded since Aug 27th! And down a total of 22.6lbs. I am so excited I decided to take this journey! You all inspire me!!!
