It has been one year and one day since my band surgery and I am doing great. When I started this trip I was unhappy all the time, my body hurt, I did not want to do anything. 65 pounds later I am happy with myself, body no longer hurts like it used to and I love getting out again. I am very happy I made the decision to get the band to help me with the weight loss and maintain it. :smile2:

I weigh once a week. The scale where I get my fills has a two pound difference :tt2: from mine and my Doc's scale is a one pound difference. So, of course, I go by my scale :biggrin:

Let see, tortillas, raw onions (cooked no problem), rice, bread, dry meat of any kind, any kind of breading. I miss them all.

Wow, 6 months already, how time flies when you are having a blast. Had a tiny fill today and the TR scale is 2lbs heavier than the one I use weekly. I am very, very happy with the weight I have lost already. :thumbup:

You know you are going down another pant size because your pants make you look like you have a baggy butt.

I have been banded a little over 5 months. Last week I went shopping with my mother, first time she has seen me since surgery (becasue of where I live and where she lives I only see her twice a year). She took me to the petite section. I kinda freaked that I could fit into anything marked petite. I still see myself as size 20.

It was about a month after my surgery before I was feeling "normal", but I am a big ol baby :w00t:

What Mamadot said. When I told my doctor that I had to re-learn to eat after my second fill he said "gotcha".

Keep on rockin, congratulations :scared2:

Ok I am starting a little happy dance. I am only 6 1/2 pounds away from my half way goal. I am almost three months out of surgery and I never thought I would be doing this well. I am still pigging on sugar once in a while, well about every weekend :huh2:

It is strange. When I saw my doctor this month the first thing he said is that I have lost a lot of inches. Today when I dressed for work I felt like I put on my big sisters pants a shirt and I don't even have a big sister. :tongue_smilie:

To be honest I only walk 1 to 2 times a week. I have had restriction since surgery. I keep my calories below 900 during the week and on the weekends I eat what ever I want, but I still keep my food to 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups. I am getting hungry between meals now and Dr. Snow said I need another fill. I have one scheduled for the 22nd of this month. I expect I will need to up my activity level one of these days. Remember everyone is different when it comes to the band.

:tongue_smilie: Not that far from onederland. I figure by Friday I will be into the onderland, which I have not seen since getting married.

I have issues with Iron so I take centrum silver which doen't have any. They are a berry citrus flavor and make me pucker and taste nasty :thumbup:, but it is hard to find a multi-vitamin without iron.
