I know this is a little late but I agree with everyone else, counting calories is a must. A thousand calories a day is plenty when eating the right things and please don't stop walking. I lost 90 pounds just walking and counting calories before my surgery as the insurance made me wait 6 months. Challenge yourself a little bit everyday, if you were able to go up a little hill today do a bigger hill tomorrow. I used to say to myself ill make myself sweat a little bit more tomorrow. Good luck on your journey. Best wishes.

Wow I can see the difference. Good job. Good to see a real person's results

Just voted. Good luck

Beginning 299 October 2012 250 March 2013 201 Almost there

Sorry feb 2012

Sorry feb 2012

98 pounds down since feb 2013

I have the same problem. I have lost my thighs and my behind. I since I have lost weight every where else that my belly will be next.

I always thought I was happy with myself inside and out but in reality it was just a cover up not to deal with my weight. I was always walking behind in family outings, I couldn't run after my 2 year old daughter and I was 100 pounds heavier than my husband. I decided to look into WLS and when I went to my first app and stepped on the scale for the first time, it read 299.5. I was shocked almost 300 pounds, I cried and decided enough was enough. 8 months later I had the surgery and today I said goodbye to the 220's. best thing I could of done. Stepping on that scale really opened my eyes to the level of denial that I was living.

That's exactly what happened to me. I started excersing and eating better and after two years of no period, there it was. I have lost 75 pounds do now is a monthly thing. My gyn said it was normal.

My surgeon keeps everyone overnight just to keep an eye on us. I'm trying to walk as much as I can but the nurse thinks is too much. Go figure but thanks for the advice I will ba walking in my room I'm desperate for relief.

Hello all. I just got banded today and they are keeping me overnight. The surgey went well and I'm not in pain from the band BUT the gas pains are incredibly painful. Any suggestions bc this pain is unbearable, also the repaired a hernia. Congrats to all October bandsters.

Hi everyone I am getting banded on October 17. My surgeon has me on a 1000 calorie a day pre op. I was wondering if anyone else had to do the same. I do see that most banders had a liquid diet before surgey. I am eating low fat high Protein but worry that might my liver will still be fatty.
