Hi, Believe it or not i dont drink with meals and believe me it was very hard to get used to that, But that's what this is all about...learning. It will come, and when u get great restriction u wont be able to. I noticed that you have the 4cc band, so do I. Not many have this size band. Good Luck!

Hello~~ Well it's been a couple of months since i wrote my last blog...The weight loss has been slow but sure. I am eight pounds from my first goal of 150 LBS.I still cannot believe I am so close. I have lost a total of 75 LBS. went from a size 20 to a 10 in jeans. Thought I would never get there but DONT say never! If you stay positive and work hard it can happen. I have been exercising three to five times a week and really watching my sugar intake. So I basically eat like I am diebetic, but I'm not. It seems to be the easiest way for me to lose the weight is but watching my sugar intake and eating only good carbs. I hope to be back to tell you that I have reached my goal weight of 150 pounds. WooHoo for me...it's the best thing that I have done for myself! :thumbup:

This morning I hit my 60 LB. mark. It's such a great feeling I can not even explain it. I had hit it once before so to see it again it's totally amazing. 23 LB to go..... I can do it:thumbup:

Today is my 3 year bandiversary, and I am feeling fantastic! My starting weight was 233, today my weight is 175. 58 LBS. gone for good! I have 25 LBS. to goal. This is my year, I am going to get there. I have had no complicatons what so ever, and I am very thankful for that. The only real problem that I have had the past two years is going to nuring school and putting all my enery towards my education that the eating and band way of life kind of went to the wayside, but I am almost done with school. since January, I have gotten back on track and have been doing well. From one year ago my weight was up 2 LBS. so I will take that! :smile: I walk on the treadmill and do wii fit one hour a day which has helped out tremendiously with the weight loss. My back also feels so much better, so well worth it. I am still loving my band and feel it's the best thing that i have done for myself. I would do it all over. My blood preasure is even very good it went from 145/100 to 117/70...almost can say good bye to the medication...that in it's self is so well worth it, and the added benefits are all the nice compliments i get and just over all feeling better about myself as a person. Congrats to you all and keep up the great job..... :smile:
