september 1 weight 165 september 29 weight 155

I was banded July 14 2009. I weighted 263. I now weigh 155. I am so happy I had it done.

So how are you feeling? I had my band since July 2009. You will love it.

you look great. I have lost about 108 lbs I feel great. I know you feel great keep up the great work.

Just take it one day at a time you will get there. I was banded 7/14/09 I have lost 110 pounds so far.

You go girl look like you have a plan. Keep a food dairy and you will reach your goal.

How did it go? I was banded 7/14/09, this is the first new year that I am not going to start a diet. I have lost 103lbs. You are well on your way to a heathier life and a smaller size when it gets warm.

Also Target has a good selection of things. I also do second hand shopping.:frown:

Go to the meeting and then make up your mind. I tried everything also to lose weight. I could not control my food intake. I felt at one time that I was a failure by getting the band, I call it the easy way out. Well I sit here 15 months later, I have walk a 5k, a 15k and I am training for a 1/2 marathon walk. I am off blood pressure meds and I feel great. I am 101 pounds lighter and I am loving life. My turning point was when my sister said" do it because you are 55 and you do not have too many do overs".

I have lost 97 lbs since 7/14/2010. I have done a 5k a 15k and I am training to do a 1/2 marathron in November. I am setting a goal of 155 by New Year's morning 2011. So I am in.

It is a great feeling to be able to put a one in front of your weight. I say keep thing the same this week and see where it goes.

Please go to the support meeting even after the band. I am about 13 months out and I still go they have help me greatly.

Hi l live in Wilmington,NC I work in the food service department at a hospital. I had my Galbadder taken out on June 2, 2009 I took 1 week off and on July 14, 2009 I was banded I took 6 days off. I did great great here it is September 18 2010 I am down 97 lbs and training to walk 1/2 marathon on November 7.

I am so happy for you I can wait to reach my 100 pound goal. 5 more pounds to go. You can share all your goals with us. Have a great day.

I was banned also July 09, I had the same problem about May of this year, I was thinking the same that the band had slipped. I had something stuck in the band. The Dr. did a unfill I drink water and then he put back in 1/4 less fill. I did a swallow test this month and he said everything looks great. I am down 94 pounds.

I have one to two cups a day. My doctor says it is okay as long as I do not eat and drink.

You are doing a great job, I can tell that you are proud or your self. I am also training to walk a 1/2 marathron on Nov 7 @ 7am. My be we can share our joy over the months. I was banded 7/14/2009 and I have lost 93 pounds. I am walking @ a 16.5 minute pace, a far cry from 20 to 21. Kept up the great work.

Count me in let me know where the weight in page can be found.

I did not tell anyone about my banding until I started losing weight and people started to notice. I chose who to just say thank you and the truth too. I have lost 90 lbs since 7/14/09, now I do not care what others think because I feel great. I have training to walk a 1/2 marathron and no negetive talk about weight lost surgury can make me feel bad.

It was in the 1980 something. I am 12 pound away from 100 lost. I wanted to lose 100 pounds by 7/15/2010. I need to get busy. You all have a great summer stay cool.:thumbup:

You look great, I know you feel good. Keep it up.
