I literally have tears in my eyes.

I was just looking through the Before & Afters on here. I'm literally crying. Everyone looks so amazing. I cannot wait to finally be healthier & happier, like all of you.

The reason I originally wanted to post was because I was ecstatic that I'd lost 21 pounds as of today. I'd been stuck in the same 19 pounds lost for the last week or so, & I'd gotten so frustrated. I've been making sure I'm following everything to the "t", & I guess it's paid off. I just weighed myself, & I lost 2 pounds. I'm just so excited.

Seeing all of you that have lost so much weight makes me push myself harder. I want to be one of the success stories. I AM going to be one. I can assure you that.

I go for my first fill on March 10th & I'm even more excited about it now. I cannot wait. I want to lose weight, & I'm determined to lose weight.

Thank you all for being such an inspiration, even though you may not believe you are. Trust me. There are people out there, like me, that need this inspiration to keep going. To motivate myself. To make myself believe that I CAN do this.

Thank you. :biggrin:

You and I had our surgeries just days apart. I was banded on 1/31, so today is 4 weeks post-op. I have lost 23 lbs. so far. I followed my doctor's exact instructions and it is working. Thankfully I am never hungry! I receive my first fill on 3/7. Soon you and I will be posting before & after pics that we can be proud of. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Well, it's good to know I'm not losing slowly, like I thought I was. It just makes me so proud to think I took this step to becoming a better person. I cannot wait to post before & after pictures!

Keep up the good work, too! Good luck on your first fill!! :biggrin:

Hello.

I was banded feb 11/ 10. So we are pretty close... I lost 16 pound the first 2 weeks but last week NONE.. i being on pure diets .. everything i eat now is Fat free.

I was told that i got 2 cc on my band the day I was banded but I don't know if that is restriction or not but i still feeling hungry.

Well I guess we can be point of reference of each other.

Bye for now..
