How is all the December delights doing? I'm doing ok. A year ago I had to have a band revision due to a slipped band. I am still down but have gained back about 20 lbs that just does not want to leave. I am still down over 70 lbs though. So give a shout out on how you are all doing?

Hi all I have accomplished a lot in the last year. I have defiantly had my battles but am trying my best to keep being successful. I had issues with the band being toooo tight and eventually had to have all but 1 cc in a 10 cc band removed. I have been struggling to keep within 5 lbs of my lowest weigh. I go up 5 lose 5. It is kind of good because I can eat everything. I have lost 84 lbs to date and am very proud of that considering all of the issues I did run into.. I will be starting to get my band filled up again on the 18th. I will be asking for at least 1.5 ccs for my fill. I want to get this losing back on the road... Clothes I went from a size 24, 3-4x to a size 14-16 pants and a l-xl in shirts. I am sooo proud of myself. I have read a few posts of individuals who are not having some of the same success.... i hope that you are able to go back to where you had your surgery and have them help you, I have an amazing support team from where I had surgery. I am hoping everyone else does as well... Hope everyone continues to have some success in the next year and a half. Huggzz all around...

WOw everyone looks like they are doing really well on their weightloss. Congrats to all you december delights...

Hey everyone just checking in.. ALso Patricia when are we going to meet up for tea.. LOL would be good to meet up with you.. Hope everyone is well...

Well I bought a new scale and it is reading 2. something pounds heavier. So I because my heaviest weight was weighed on my scale I am getting rid of I am just adding the 2 lbs to my heaviest weight. Crazy but I am not willing to give up my 40 lbs lost goal.. Not sure what others did for this but yeah.. I bought a ww scale and am hoping it holds up for at least a year... How is everyone else doing..

Hey Lyn I have lost your blog site again... How are you doing?? We need to met up one day... I have been talking with Suzanne a couple of times through emails.. Hope to catch up soon... Michelle

I had surgery on Dec 2 o9 and am still counting calories. I plan for around 1200 a day.. i do not want my body to think I am in starvation mode. Each of us is different you have to play around to figure out how many your body needs to lose weight. I have an Iphone and use a free app called loose it. I love it so far. Do not get frustrated if you read most of our blogs at the stage you are in now most of us can relate. patience is a hard part of this process. I always want instant gratification. i am learning that this is a long process and to love my band one day at a time.. I too make sure to drink at least a min of 2 litres of water a day. I also have green tea but do not include that into my water rations. Keep your chin up it will get better...

Well am I good or what. I had the wrong blog address on my signature.. SO here is the right one now. www.bandsterjourney.blogspot.com Hug for everyone and goodnight..

Awesome job on the weight-loss and your first social outing. That is weird cause I have had a couple of sips of my hubbies pop when nothing else was available to take meds and it does not affect me. I still would not sit and drink a full can but yeah weird. I am feeling great restriction now and can see a big difference in how much I am eating.. Cool that you are starting to walk the weather has been sooo amazing. I love it. Except for today in the rain.. Oh yeah for me I had 3 or 3.5 in from surgery. It may vary so you will know on your first fill what you have in there. I did not notice any restriction untill my second fill when I was at 5 ccs. Now at 5.25 I feel even better restriction. WIll see if it holds up usually after two weeks it is less but am crossing fingers this is it... I know what restriction is now and I am not going back.. You too will soon know what it is. How long before your first fill??? WE still have to meet and have lunch one day here.. We were down there today for costco, walmart and watched alice in wonderland.. Keep up the awesome work.. Have you started a blog yet. I get so much support from the other bloggers at blogspot. I love it... Talk soon Michelle

Hey antonella how are you doing??? I am officially down now 40.4 lbs today.. I am so happy...
