Wonder why it's like that? Anyways congrats your gonna love it! It's so nice to be able to control yourself on portions and sometimes you forget to eat and have to make yourself eat something :-) keep us updated on you and your wife!

I can't eat any bread anymore. I use to love hamburgers and sandwiches and now I have to wrap the meat around a cheese stick or just get the hamburger without the bun. I found out quick that bread isn't for most banded people lol.

I think the bigger you are the more you burn.

Thank y'all for your responses :-) I'm a lot heavier but it's coming off slow. Probably because I'm not exercising everyday. I know exercise has so much to do with it. Thanks again y'all :-)

Thank you :-) I appreciate that and I'm glad I'm here too. Everyone on here has been very supportive. Also way to go on y'all's loss! That's awesome!

What is a reasonable weight loss goal for one month? I figured y'all could tell me some of y'all's goals for one month to the next I figure 5-8 lbs.

The moon sure is pretty tonight in small town ga! :-) I hate that people are fussing on here we are all suppose to be each others support group. Why cannot everyone just agree to disagree? I'm almost positive that all this fussing is not helping the thread starter one bit.

Dr. B is awesome! He does a wonderful job. That's who my surgeon is :-)

That's awesome I really wish I would of started it before hand but that's okay I have pics the day of and the day after my surgery so that's good enough for me lol. I'm sure I can find some others :-) that's awesome that you have lost that much!

I was banded on April 12 2013 and have lost 31 lbs since then.

I've decided to start making a scrapbook of my journey to see where I've been and where I'm going. Kind of late in the game but I believe it will be neat to look back on and share one day.

I want to be able to keep up in the swamp hunting and fishing. I want to be able to tube again I also want to be able to be picked up by my fiance... Either on piggy back or just playing around. I would love to be able to go to the fair and ride anything I want! The smallest thing I'm looking forward to is crossing my legs :-)

Lol yes I would love to have someone to share with and for them to do the same! :-)

I agree Gary its nice for someone to have something nice to say for once besides my surgeon. :-) it just kicks you in the butt to strive for more!

Yeah that's what will happen to me sometimes lol i can go a whole day without eating and I have to make myself eat. Everyone had to get use to how I ate because they wanted to pile food on at BBQs and stuff and I would have to let them know I can't even eat half of what they eat lol. Now most everyone understands. Yeah my nephew can eat more than me and he's 5 haha! I look at people's plates now and think wow I use to eat that much?!? Lol it's amazing how the band works!

I think I'm almost to my green zone. I have 4.3 cc in my 10cc band and I can eat a scrambled egg and a piece or two of turkey sausage and be fine for a couple of hours. I believe I'm going to get maybe .3cc more this next fill and see how it does but I'm losing 1-2lbs per week so the doc says I'm not too far away :-) I had my surgery April 12 2013.

You look awesome and are doing wonderful! You can really tell especially in your face from the hospital picture to the pic in the mirror. Are you exercising or anything like that or just eating the right way?
