Being able to go to a restaurant and not worry if I can fit into the booths or not. That was a horrible feeling wanting to get to a restaurant before anyone else to secure a booth or table that would accommodate me......
THAT FEELING IS GONE FOREVER!!!
Being able to compete again in Sports!
GOSH, can't even imagine after another 75 pounds how it is going to be!!!!! Woohoo

Good luck!! Oh man do I have/had a love affair with food. 7,000 plus plus plus calories a day I used to consume! I also, as many people on here have tried diet after diet, fad after fad. Having surgery was the last straw for me, I was READY to lose this weight once and for all.
Sure you can gain your weight back, some do, BUT a lot are very successful. Make sure you are also ready in your HEAD to lose this weight, you can't rely solely on the band or on the fills. Remember in here, buying a car, new diets or any other business in life, you will always here the complaints more than the successes of items.
It is definitely a lifestyle change!
BUT, you can do it!!! Think positive and you will succeed.
I wish you the very best!!!

Fantastic! So glad to see you have an awesome attitude!
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for post! I hear that a lot also.
For ME I account for every bite that goes into my mouth! I was VERY delusional before about portions and calories, hence the reason I got to 317 pounds! Now even if I take one bite of something to try I put it into my food log. I have entered things as 1 tsp of chocolate cake or 1 tsp of ketchup, etc. If it went into my mouth, I LOG IT!!! EVERYTHING. lol.
Again for ME it is the only way I will be successful by keeping accountability for myself and get this weight off and keep it off!!
Everyone have a fantastic day!

I've plateaued for over a month, and instead if feeling down about it, I wanted to share a little about how my life has changed in the past 3 months:
* Went from a 4x to a 2x in tops
* Went from a 26/28 to a 22 in bottoms
* I can fit in chairs with arms
* I can fit in a stadium seat
* I can fit in a movie theater seat
* I can fit in a restaurant booth
* I went roller skating
* I can run after my 4 year old at the park
* I don't sweat profusely anymore
* I can use a backseat seatbelt, and fit in the backseat of a car
* Training for a 5k. What?!!
* I can still breathe when I bend over to tie my shoes
* I put a recent picture of myself on Facebook, lol
I know there are more, but this is a huge difference for me. I used to stay indoors all the time, I would get winded from short walks and my body would hurt so bad with any physical activity. I stayed away from a lot of social activities because of my size. I'm not afraid to try something new now. I know it's super cliche, but I feel like I have my life back.

Good luck!! Oh man do I have/had a love affair with food. 7,000 plus plus plus calories a day I used to consume! I also, as many people on here have tried diet after diet, fad after fad. Having surgery was the last straw for me, I was READY to lose this weight once and for all.
