The journey has begun!!!

Hi I am 35 years old and I was banded about 6 weeks ago and have lost 35 lbs!!! I have been very strict about my eating since being banded and I feel just using total self control right now to keep my food intake to a minimum. I have my first fill on April 4 and am very excited and a little nervous. I love being able to come to banded living it has been the biggest help in so many ways! Looking forward to lots of success and new friends! I have gone from 263lbs to 228lbs and feel like my goal is finally going to be something that can happen!

GREAT JOB !!! I just had my Lapband put in on 3-23-11 !! i feel the same as you so far, i have lost 12 pounds and i fell that i can def do this !!! Im not hungry and the Band seems to be doing its job !! but i am just on 3 protien shakes a day , so things can change,,but so far so good !!!

My surgeon put 6cc in at time of surgery so I wont really know till after 4/15/11 when i start the next phases of my diet.

SELF CONTROL is a hudge help !!

:D:lol::)

Your goal CAN happen! So happy for you! I'm 35 yrs old as well and had my surgery 1 week ago today. Just now starting to feel better and getting back to a normal routine. Self control and will power have never been great friends of mine... but I know to be successful at this, we have to be best friends :)

Day of banding weight 230lbs. Have lost 15lbs so far. Just struggling through this liquid diet phase for 3 weeks... and trying to remember what I want for my future!!!

Keep up the good work!
