aw you guys are seriously too sweet! THANK YOU for all the nice comments... you have really made my day! i think i might need to keep this thread somewhere for the 'down days' i have sometimes! :) seriously, thank you! hugs! you are all doing a fantabulous job too!

oh and we had an AMAZING anniversary! had a great time! :)

and, yes, having "goal clothes" is awesome! ive had a few in the last few months and its been fun trying them on along the way and seeing them fit better until they finally fit! some of those, i've already had to give away too because they're too big! so i totally recommend that if you're just starting off... they're great little motivators! i have a few pair of skinny jeans and pants that have been passed on to me by other banders that i'm waiting to fit into! :)

congrats! yay! you are on your way! i'd love to share what i eat and exercise... if you use myfitnessspal... feel free to add me and you can see exactly what i ate and what exercise i did at the end of the day... its a great resource and lots of banders on there too! i'm sylviau150 on there....

or feel free to message me on here whenever :)

in a nutshell, though,

i'm eating a low-carb diet.... it works best with the band because its foods that will stay in your pouch longer and keep you full longer.

Breakfast is now usually a shake (because the band in TIGHT in the morning!)

lunch is usually some Protein (like grilled chicken nuggets from chik fil a)

dinner is usually Protein and veggies. salmon, chicken, etc.

the guidelines my dr gave me are these for each day:

20-30 grams of fat

30-50 grams of carbs

70 grams of protein

my fitness pal helps you calculate your grams for each of these.

as for exercise, i walk when i can, but i do zumba a couple times a week. that helps so much because it burns like 800 calories or more each time.. and sometimes i literally burn off everything i ate for the day! :)

hope this helps a little. but everyone is free to add me on myfitnesspal! :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
