:D yea!!! I am all smiles for you. Congratulations on a job well done reaching such an important milestone. I had the same opportunity as you but I let mine go to waist, and although it isn't too late to start over I am very dissappointed with myself. On July 12th, I made my year. I started at 304 pounds. In February of this year I had got down to 266.6 pounds. However, I was unable to hold on to that loss. I slowly gained the pounds that I had loss back. Now I am up to 287. I am ashamed and very dissappointed in my self.

There is no excuse, I just started back eating the things that got me in this situation in the first place.

My insurance is out of the picture right now so I can't go get an adjustment. I need to know from you what you did to get back on track at those points in time when you got off track. :angry:

Well this was six months ago and I'm sad to say that I haven't made any significant changes. I don't know what is wrong with me or what's really going on but I do know that something has got to change because I didn't have this lapband surgery for nothing. Woe is me. Hope you are doing well though.

Success, I also had gotten back into bad habits. Last year I had some plastic surgery and had All of my fill taken out before surgery because I was scared I wouldn't be able to eat enough to heal correctly or I'd vomit and hurt my incisions. BIG BIG MISTAKE. I quickly found out I could eat foods I hadn't eaten in 4 years. I had to start gradually getting fills but bad habits stuck. I regained 20lbs quickly. I just had my last full last week and am just now back in the green zone. This thing is a TOOL. Use it like that but you have to stay on track with the foods to stay away from. You invested in this tool so don't let it go to waste. I sure dont know your finances but I would recommend a fill and a recommitment soon. I'm so glad I went back last week and I've already lost 9lbs. You can do this!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
