September 2009 Band Date
Hi everyone! I havent posted in forever! But with our 1 year coming up I thought I would check in to see how everyone was doing. I would LOVE to start getting on here more to keep myself more motivated! Ive lots a total of 85 lbs and Im doing fun things again like wakeboarding and I can run several miles and I dont let my weight stop me ANYMORE! I feel like that was what the band was supposed to help me do (get my life back) But like all the rest of us its SUCH a struggle! I had NO clue it was going to be this difficult. I exercise everyday I try to not eat bad. But like someone was saying when you know that icecream goes down easy, no chewing and chewing and chewing and it taste delicous it become the easy out! I think overall though we are doing what we set out to do and if we keep it up eventually we will all be where we want to be! CONGRATS EVERYONE ON 1 YEAR!!!!!!!!!

She will, tell megan McCall Sink sent you and she will take good care of ya! Even if you cant get the surgery she is fantastic as a weight consler. She has been there she knows the thoughts and the patterns and she puts things out there you would never think of! And remember if you get it or if you dont get it, its going to be a struggle either way so get your mind right and you will do just fine!!

Hey Ladies! I havent checked in in a while.... But things are going ok. The holiday was REALLY hard! But I made it through and got back to the gym two times today! Ive lost a total of 42 pounds since sept. 2nd and I have 7cc in my 10 cc band...... THe lady that does my fills is AWESOME...super agrressive. Ive had 3 fills and with that Im at 7cc. She tells me I can come in every two weeks and get more if I dont feel restriction. She does it under floroscopy so she can tell if it is to tight. Does anyone feel like they have to do SSSSOOOO much themseleves? Sometimes I feel like Im doing it all on my own. That there isnt a tool there helping me. But then my friend who knows makes commits about how I didnt eat barely anything and I think maybe Im just used to not eating as much and I have more restriction than i think. Everyone is doing great! So pround of all of you! I went back and read everyones post!!

September 2009 Band Date
HEY EVERYONE! I havent been on here in quite a while! I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing and see if I was on track with everyone else. Banded 9/2/09 and Ive lost a total of 37 pounds. For some reason I feel like im getting no where..... I know that sounds sssooo silly when I say it out loud. I think its bc my losing has come to a hault. I was working out sssssooo hard last week and I only lost 2 pounds as compaired to my be able to lose 5 pounds a week and the week before only 1 pound. What does everyone this about this... r u all going through the same thing?
