Wow bonnie you have lost 70 pounds in two months that is amazing. or is that a type O? anyway fabulous darling :clap2: I am going to try a little harder to not worry so much. and yes I have a lot of NSVs and I do record each one. I think I am getting muscle now and that weighs more than fat so I just like the idea of being able to do lots of things I haven't done in a long time. I guess being a turtle don't bother me a bit. I have a cup of ice cream when I want to and if I want a small slice of cake (really a very small is all I can eat. I have good restriction.) then I eat it. I didn't gain this weight in a couple years so I am not going to lose it over night either. Yeah I am a Turtle!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: and I love my band :kiss2: God bless. Frances

Hi everyone I want to join this group.:help: I have only lost 40 pounds in almost 2 years. I did lose 52 pounds but my band was too tight and I left it too long and they had to empty my band. I gained 12 pounds during the unfill and am now slowly losing that back down. I have always been a slow loser so this is no exception. I love my band though it has given me a great outlook. I can now tie my shoes, paint my toenails, walk more than a few steps before :faint: and my steering wheel of my car is now at least 4 inches away from my tummy when before it rubbed . so please let me join? :help: and for the lady that her doctor told her to skip meals honey you are in starvation mode. don't let him make it worse. I have one of the best followup programs with my surgerons there is anywhere. they say I am on top of things slow is the way togo. I also am a poet and don't know it . they told me you don't eat you don't lose. you must get at least 70 grams of protein and 64 of water. I don't always follow that hense the slower weight lose. I love this board. YEAH!!!! Frances banded 12/1/04 331/293/170

Hi since I am new a little bit about me. I am on my journey to get banded. I have heard lots of pros and cons about the band but out of them all I feel that this is the way for me to go. I am planning on losing lots of weight but if I just lose enough to get me off my meds I will be happy . I want to also use it as a maintance tool. I can't wait to hear all of your stories about the band. I lurk a lot but love to talk:banana . God bless.
