Went to get my second fill yesterday. Now have 7.5cc in a 12cc Realize band. This morning, half way thru eating 2 scrambled eggs, one piece of turkey bacon, and an english muffin with Peanut Butter, I finally found what full feels like and knew one more bite would bring trouble. I am estatic!!!

I have lost 46 lbs since Pre-op on Nov 3 and 58lbs since the seminar on Oct 8th when I became determined. I am averaging about 3.6 lbs a week loss.

I have also been able to do sub 10 minute miles for 3 miles on an eliptical, and do an entire 60 minute eliptical over 5.5 miles on level 10!

Also, I have moved from a 54 waist pants to 48, and have just bought my first 46 and 44 pants!!!

The band helped change my head at first, now it is also helping to change my stomach. I have set a goal to lose another 60 lbs by July!!!

Thanks all for the support, and the knowledge you all pass along. This site, more than any other, is my source of encouragement, knowledge, and help. Thanks to all the great posters here!!!

Congrats on everything!

Your post gives me hope - I'm 2.5 months out and have 7.5cc in a 14cc band which is not providing any restriction. My next fill is next week, and I really hope I can come back and report the same as you!
