I am 1/3 of the way to my goal weight! YaHoo!
I was banded on 8/30 and have lost 50 pounds thus far. I started at 344 and want to get to 194. I have 8cc's in my 14 cc band and I feel I am close to my elusive "sweet spot". My wife and I went to Breakfast the other day, I ordered 2 eggs over med, bacon and whole wheat toast. I ate 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon and 3 bites of toast. FULL! I knew I could not eat one more bite. Of course I wanted to finish it all but I knew one more bite would have meant that over stuffed feeling so I folded my napkin and stopped. What a victory. This was a once in a while breakfast. I normaly have a Protein shake for breakfast then a Protein Bar 2 hours later.
I is such a nice feeling to know I can still eat normaly once in a while and still have control. Me and the "Gov'ner" are best friends now. food is no longer my best friend.
I am so looking forward to warmer weather so I can get back out on my bicycle. I hate the stationary trainer but I make it work till warmer, sunner days.
