I'm 10 months out and have lost 76% of my excess weight. It's been a steady loss of a pound a week. That's without exercising. I've managed to shed 60 pounds since surgery and 73 total. My band is real light rite now and I'm barely in the green zone. I think. Anyways 18 months is what ny dr said is the average amount of time it takes most patients to hit goal. Just this past week I realized I'm not Fat anymore. I'm not even chunky. This is getting weird!!!! But in a good way.

That's awesome congratulations!

Way to go! slow and steady is the best way to maintain once you hit goal. Your body grows accustomed to your new size better.

Sounds like your mind is catching up to your body. Congratulations. Enjoy that realization.
