  1. Big Milestone

    · SAGARCIA · 12/17/2010 02:27

    It has been awhile since I posted but had to share my latest milestone... I hit 100 pound weight loss recently and am still very pleased with my decision to be banded. Crazy thing is I know I am doing well and get lots of compliments, but I don't really see it when I look in the mirror...
    It is getting harder and I want to loose another 50 pounds, but I am feeling good and am confident that I will be able to reach my goal.
    Good luck to you all!
     
     

  2. Such a looser...

    · SAGARCIA · 08/25/2010 00:53

    Well, i weighed yesterday and am very happy to say that I am still headed in the right direction. I am trying to weigh every other week. I am down 65 pounds since May and couldn't be happier with the results.
     
    I am still struggling with food choices. I do think that it is getting easier but still an obstacle. Breaking old habits is harder than I ever imagined.
     
    I hope everyone else is enjoying success on this wonderful journey of LAP-BAND®.

  3. Hanging in there....

    Well, I have not lost any weight this week. I am trying to remain positive, especially since I have been doing so well. It is a little frustrating but I am gonna be patient for another week. After all I have only had one fill and I imagine it takes several to get to the "sweet spot".
    If things don't change in the next few days I am heading back for another adjustment.

    I survived another busy week. I had a lot going on with work and at home but I made and managed to take care of myself.
    "Taking Care of Myself" my new words to live by. The first step was deciding I was ready to do something about my weight, I fought it for years and then at some point I just gave up. I let it defeat me for the longest. Then about a year ago I starting thinking I had give up too easy so I rejoined the fight and made the decision to be banded...
    I am not looking back, it is all about looking forward for me now.

  5. Loving the Band

    · SAGARCIA · 07/27/2010 02:41

    I was banded on May 13th. I really struggled with the decision to get the LAP-BAND®®. But so far everything is going very well. I had my first fill right at a month ago. I am down almost 60 pounds (20 lbs prior to the procedure), of course I have quite a few pounds I need to loose.
     
    At this point in time I am thinking I did the right thing and am very happy with the choice I made.
