OMG I had surgery this month on 12-18-09 and have lost 40 pounds. I 'm so happy I have always been than overweight kid and I just want to live normally and not let this weight hold me back. I know I have a long way to go and I still do crave those fatty foods but getting on that scale makes it so much worth not eating them. I get my first fill on 01/18/10 come on all lets push thru to a happier healthier life.

Love You All.

Jon:rolleyes:

Congrats!!

I know you don't mean 40 pounds since getting the band 12 days ago. Remember, the band is not losing the weight. YOU are working hard and the band is just there to help a little.

Keep it up!!

@btrieger lol no from the day I started my pre-op diet i think it was 12/03/09. Thanks for the kind words.

Wow way to go! Be very proud of yourself your kicking @**!

Awesome job!! Keep up the good work. I sure hope you took a "before" picture because soon you won't even remember what the before was when you are looking at the new you!!

Thanks for the support all everything is still going well on my end. I have my first fill on Monday the 18th. Having the band is a real change my doctor put a lil fluid in my band when I had the surgery and what I use to be able to eat I no longer can. You know I really don't miss it. I join the gym at my job and I work out now 5 times a week. I will keep you all posted on everything that's going on I will be weighing in again on the 18th again also. Good Luck on your journey.

Congratulations Jon - Good for you! I am getting banded tomorrow and with my nerves all over the place right now. You results are definitely hugely encouraging!!

Thanks
