When I was banded on June 19, 2009 my goal was to weigh 125lbs and to do it all in the 1st year. =) Silly newbie I was.

Now I am 1 year and 10 months post op and my more realistic goal is 138lbs. I hope to achieve that sometime in 2011.

I find that a lot of us think big for ourselves and then reality sets in. My questions is, who out there had a similar thing happen to them?

What was your goal before or right after surgery and what is it now?

Congrats! My original goal was 120lbs; it's now 125lbs simply because I'm already in size 2s and I'm not sure 120lbs is healthy for me, but time will tell.

My goal was to be around 160 in a year, which was a 90 pound loss. Ha. I'm 2.5 years out and weigh about 163. I'd like to get to 150 in the next couple months, by the end of the year. I'm a classic slow loser. I've consistently lost, although slowly, since surgery. I'm 5'8...so I don't know as if I'd want to get much below 150, I'm in a size 10 now, so that might put me around an 8...something I've never been in my adult life.
