I agree with The Icy One, you'll decide when and if they need to know and I wish all the best. - fellow bandster.

Congrats on your decision, sbake! I too have the band and it's not the easy way out. It's a solution to a battle. Keep up a good attitude and you will be successful.

I know exactly how you feel, I'm in the same boat. I don't want to lose more, but it just happens and I tell myself I can eat what I want when I really can't and tend to over do it. That's when I will "un-eat",but I can't keep doing that. I don't want an unfill either so I will just eat less, smaller bites and drink Protein shakes. Not sure I was helpful, but you are not alone. ????

You know I mean "overeating". I'm half awake here!

Are you overrating at your meals or taking big bites?

This is very kind of you, pay it forward!

I can totally relate. People tell me to stop losing too, but I'm not trying to lose, it just happens! I don't want to get an un-fill either so I'll just keep to the small protein-packed meals like you do and stay where I'm at. I did lose hair to but it's coming back, although not thick like it used to be. I'm still happy, this is where I want to stay. Thanks for sharing.

I too miss gulping water when I'm thirsty. I can only drink water mid day so I drink about 2 bottles, sometimes 3 if I can get it in.

I will respond to you both privately. Thank you.

You can do it Rose!! Be ready to turn some heads!! #somuchfun

I put them in my profile. Hope I did it right.

Thank you everyone! I was able to upload some pictures today even though I hate the before ones...but I did it!

I didn't count my fills but averaged about one every 5 weeks. Took me 2 years to be in the green zone so I haven't had a fill in about a year and half and still have plenty of restriction. Tight in the mornings and can't eat anything after 9 pm.

Thank you everyone! Please don't give up on yourself, you're the only one that can make the best version of you! Buy a pair of jeans in your goal size (eBay) and put them where you'll see them every day! Get there! Do it!

I'm new here so not sure the exact stats, but I had lap band surgery in Feb. 2011 weighing 238 lbs. In January I hit 135 and I've maintained it since. Happy girl!!

I've met my goal weight and just want to shout it out! Some have even accused me of being HOT! I'll take it!!

So if I have no rashes, I'm on my own? I'm so ready!!
