I was banded Dec 19th 2011 and I am currently down 51 lbs. Its been good so far. I had one Major time of food getting stuck and that was last weds. That hurt so bad. But other than that I have been doing good. Its funny how I dont crave a lot of the foods I loved before surgery. I just know those foods are bad news and they probally will hurt. I love my band. I so hope at one year out I will have lost 100 lbs but I am just taking it one day at a time!!!!!!

Wow! You have done great! Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm sure you'll lose 100lbs within the first year. Within my first year I lost about 120 and that's without much willpower at all lol. Good luck!

Congrats! You are doing great. Keep up the good work!!

I can only hope i get to say the same things at my 1 year bandaversary. Way to go !

Congratulations !!

Remember... take it one day at a time. Also, remember take tiny bites and MAKE SURE you finish what you have in your mouth before you take your next bite.

Thank you every one. Its hard work to stay on track and eat the right foods sometimes. But eating the right ones you get to your goals. I reached my first goal and now my next is 75 lbs! I know I can reach it!

Congrats on the loss!! Sounds like you are determined and I am sure you will hit your goals.
