Banded in July 2012

Pre-op I stuck to protien shakes and low carb/high protein dinners (mostly chicken and fish). After that, I followed the phases (liquids, mushies, soft solids,...). Nowadays, for the most part I follow a low carb diet, with cheater days every now and again (gotta shock the system!)

I don't consciously exercise much, but I do find myself more active without really thinking about it. Lovin' the banded life!

Banded 8.31.11 in NJ. Down 90 lbs and still going ( very slowly but going). Went from size 26 to 14/16.
