LAP BAND APPROVED THROUGH MY INSURANCE!!! FINALLY!!! NOW I NEED SOME FINANCING FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS CO PAY!

I love the Apple Watch and how it calculates actual output. For example my 3.1 mile walk was rated as follows: Active Calories 330, Resting Calories 177, Total 507. I'm only getting credit for 330 on MFP because that is when my heart rate was elevated during the walk.

And the hair shedding has begun...good thing I have really thick hair lol

I am in ONEDERLAND AT LAST!!! Weigh 198 lbs. this morning! It feels amazing, an I'm in a state of disbelief! I've lost 134 lbs. in 10 1/2 months, and 175 lbs. in one year. Thank God for this surgery!!!!!! :-D

Hope Everyone Is Having A Wonderful Summer. I Am 162lbs currently & 93lbs Down!

HELP! trying to figure site out to post

2 days post op now. Having a hard time making myself eat/drink and also get up and walk. I just want to sleep, which I have been doing a lot of. I have noticed today it is much easier to get up and down and that my appetite has slightly returned. Looking forward to the banded life!

I'm almost in "Onederland"! 200 pounds today, down from 332 10 months ago... Woot!

Yesterday was 1 month out, so I took pictures last night to compare to my pre-op pics. I know I still have a long way to go, but I think there is a difference. http://www.bariatricpal.com/uploads/gallery/album_22691/gallery_248928_22691_129541.jpg

NSV - wearing a regular (not plus) size 16!

Made it to the 250's today, 72 pounds down and less than 100 to go!

Surgery tomorrow 7:30AM so nervous!!!

Feeling better and better each day - - it really does get a lil easier step by step... @pre-op, I thought that response was crap!

Am just amazed how great I feel. Being at my goal weight is a great feeling. I go shopping now and still feel like I should be wearing larger cloths, but I tried on a Medium top today and it was perfect., and to think I was going to just buy a large??? LOL

Milestone today! Down 70 pounds!

Down 69 pounds and I still hate exercise...ugh I tell myself sweat is fat crying but so far my sweaty body says "yeah not so much" Started weights yesterday, I am determined to do this!

I don't ever remember a time in my life when you could consider my legs skinny. But in the past week, 3 different co-workers have commented on how skinny my legs are now. Guess all that leg press and elliptical work is paying off (smile).

I am a post surgery member and will be three years in on September 4, 2015. I have just refreshed my way of eating this past month after gaining 35 lbs in 6 months going through some very real mental issues. Hearing about the whole 30 on television, I decided to do it because it sounded alot like the bariatric menu. It put me back on track and now I'm here at the Bariatric Pal site looking for people to help me stay encouraged.
