I work a job where I get to walk a lot. I watch what I eat and I gave up bread and pasta. Other than that, that's all.

That's a great start - really awesome. Can u believe that this winter you will come out of it heading into spring with a huge weight loss ?!! Very cool ... Giving up bread and pasta which turns to sugar and creates big cravings is smart!

Good luck - Hope in Your Future is Power in Your Present !

Thanks man! I set a goal to make it through the holidays without gaining and so far I'm losing. I have a long way to go but every pound off puts me closer to freedom. Plus my wife is already noticing a big difference

Very inspiring we are all in this together. I LOVE your use of the word FREEDOM ... When I was 450+ pounds I felt (and was) imprisoned in my Body in able to do much of anything - connected to oxygen ... I would think ... Geez even people with a Life sentence in solitary get out of their cell to walk around/exercise an hour or so a

Week... Yet I CAN NEVER escape the prison of my broken body for even a minute

Life is different now !! Freedom is awesome : )

I was banded 9/4/12. I was 255 at my preop appointment. I had no pre op diet but was 251 the day of surgery. Today I am 213...41 pounds in 3.5 months. Amazing to me!

I track my food but don't stick to a strict calorie goal and I exercise 4-5 days a week.

Where are u getting yours done at.me and my husband are going to dallas and dr cribbens is doing ours sugery.this going to be a life style change but it is better then taking diet pills for the rest of your life.

Stacy, my hubby and I have done this together. I had my band in Aug 2012. He has his in Sept 2012. I started out with a 40 lb head start. (I know it's not a race, but seriously you do notice.) we are now even. Both of us are at 75ish lbs lost. It has been such a great journey for us as a couple, as parents, and as friends to others. The really cool thing is that we aren't even very far into this. I'm excited for you and your hubby to be able to do this together. I can't imagine any other way for us.

I'm getting mine done in Richland, Wa with Dr. Fox. His office has been great. I'm ready to start a new chapter. My husband is not getting banded but is super supportive. And "amen" to not taking anymore diet pills. Lol

I was banded 12.23.2010 Starting weight 263 currently 178 85 lost 43 to go.

It has been a while since I posted and I have had a set back. My band slipped off and it made me really sick and now it will not be put back on until February. I was devastated when Dr. G told me I would have to wait until February. So I have had a normal size tummy since Nov. 20. 2012 but I still eat as though my band is fill. Dr. G also told me to begin working out so I hired a Personal Trainer and she has been working with me to make sure I don't gain. So far I am down two pounds and counting. I will be lighter by the time I weigh in on January 14, 2012. I am determined not to gain any weight in spite of the holidays.
