    kca1fan reacted to gowalking in January 2013 Bandsters Unite   
    Hi Ladies. Alice...I'm one step closer to getting to the UK. Turns out my hips were worse than my knees but I lost enough weight six months post op to get hip replacement surgery. I'm just over three months post op on the hips and hoping to get over there if not this year, than maybe next. My sister is working on a project that will take her to London at least once a year so I'm hoping to take advantage of that.

    I just celebrated my bandiversary last week and you can see by my ticker, it's been a successful weight loss journey. I'm working now on making sure I continue maintaining at this point. It's not always easy...the head hunger is still there and old habits die hard. I hope to be able to Celebrate many successful bandiversaries in the future.

    Glad to see you are both doing well. Not sure if there are any other January 2013 bandsters still on this forum but I know I'm on here all the time...it really helps me to stay motivated and I post my experience hoping to help calm the fears of those just starting out. Congrats again to you both.

    I had my surgery on Jan. 21, 2013. I had set a goal for myself to lose 100 pounds first year. I was 326 day of surgery and 247 last Wed. I have 36 days to lose 21 pounds. I think I can gut close. Going to bump up the exercise and be vigilant in tracking and measuring my food. I am also really going to work on my Water intake. I think I can. I think I can!!!

    Your ticker says you are one pound away from 100 lost, not 21. I hope it's just a typo because one pound you can do no problem. 21 pounds is a stretch though. Either way, you have already been very successful in your first year. Good luck with the rest of your weight loss.

    I got stuck on my second or third bite and thought OMG I am done. After 3 trips to the bathroom I decided to try something I had heard and went and got a diet pepsi I took a couple big swallows and up it came. Oh yeah thankfully I had went out to the car as we were at a restaurant. Stuck episode over enjoyed the rest of my meal. I had smoked a turkey while we were gone so had turkey leftovers without all the other yummy things I don't need but would have eaten if they were in the fridge.

    I had appointments with my Dr. and my surgeon Thursday One scale said 246 and one said 247. Either way i am one happy girl. After being stuck between 255 and 258 for 2 months I am thrilled. I am a firm believer in what my Dr. told me before I had surgery. She said "when you hit a plateau and you will hit them, you gotta move your butt." I am spending 40+ on gas to go to the Y 3 times a week. Is it worth it? I say hell yes!!!! She also cut my blood pressure pill in half and just called to say all labs came back good. That is 79 pounds since surgery and 99 all together.

    kca1fan got a reaction from Lysette in Things I did not think about, that losing weight would change   
    I just realized losing weight should cut down on laundry costs. I will be able to fit a lot more size 8 in a load then 28s. What are some other benefits you have noticed or thought of that losing weight will provide. Not including the obvious things like health and happiness. A couple of mine to start off with is, my arms have gotten longer. Ok not really but my reach sure has. I can get dressed a lot faster then I did 80 some pounds ago.
