That's awesome! My starting stats are similar to yours! Can you share your experience - how you approached things? I am on day 4 post op right now. Feel great - no hunger. I am justing having Water, Protein shakes and bouillon - at least for the next 6 days!

How do you feel? it must be terrific!

Why do I have no idea what ccs are in my band :). Did the Dr. tell you that before surgery?

Congratulations! That is very inspiring! I am down ~50 or so but it has been a SLOW process! I was banded in May and since the holidays, I have been up and down the same 3 pounds and it is FRUSTRATING!!!!

Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks guys!!

Honestly things have been quite crazy for me so I may not be the best example of a good diet. I was banded in August then the first part of September I had a hysterectomy so I went quite a while with no exercise at all. I just made sure to watch my portion sizes and my snacking.

Then in October my grandfather unexpectedly passed away so my diet got off track.

Now though the biggest thing is I make sure I'm getting my Protein in and I jog 3 times a week.

Thats the way to do it! I had 5lb goals. Every 5lbs was a victory for me and it also motivated me to continue my path. Keep up the great work Amanda!

I think it's very wise to make small easily attainable goals and to reward ourselves with non food things when we get there.

I found a site called Stickk (www.stickk.com) where you make a wager with yourself (can be monetary or not as you please) to attain a goal. I've set mine at losing 1lb a week. Every thursday the site emails me a reminder to weigh in.

I also use FatSecret (hate the name.. great site) www.fatsecret.com and set my goal there very low too.

Rewards are things like mani/pedi, new blouse or jeans, a book I've been wanting, nice yarn (I'm a crochet addict), etc.

Congrats on the 10lbs.. now go buy yourself a manicure!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
