Hello, banded on 6/26/12 and my primary motivation has been improved health. My goal is normalization of blood sugars and reduction in blood pressure.

While on liquid diet, pre and immediate after surgery, my numbers for both were quite good. BUT, as I have introduced solids the numbers are again rising... I suspect poor food choices. While weight loss is important, my primary wish is to be healthy and realistic.

Continued success to all you banders and thank you for being an understanding community!

What a great topic! I was banded 6/25/12. I am at 205. I can't wait to be under 200. It 's been almost 8 years since I was under 200. I seem to be losing slower than most of you. I lost 12 lbs on my own in May then lost 7 lbs on the two wks of liquids. I have lost 11 lbs since surgery for a total of 30 lbs., (18 lbs since pre-op diet). I tried everything and couldn't lose wt and if I did I alway regained it plus a few more. I haven't taken any meds for a month, I am off everything. I can't believe it! My goal is to be 195 by 8/11/12. I am going to my high school reunion. I also want to stay committed to my walking. It's so easy to talk myself out of it when I come home tired. Good luck everyone,we can do it!

I was banded 6-18-12 and having 1st fill on 7-26-12. I was at 235 the 1st day of liquid diet. Day of surgery I was 222 and 4 weeks later I'm at 212. Until my 1st fill I'm just trying to maintain. My 1st goal is to get below 200 which I haven't been in 19 years. It is inspiring to read all of the success stories and they keep motivated.
