Congratulations!. Means you'll probably have to fast during Christmas season. I started 2 months early from band date to lose 34 pounds prior to band day. For the doctors fast, I was suppose to lose 12 pounds and I lost 20 pounds prior to surgery. Just yesterday (Dec 11) I had my third fill of 1cc.I had to beg for this fill because i met his 2 pounds per week poal. I probably won't get any more fills. He's very conservative docotr. He wants you to attack your weight problem and not rely on the band. He says 2 pounds a week is great. If you lose lots more, NO fills.

Best wishes

Congratulations! Stick around here for support, knowledge & inspiration.

Someone on the forum said to write a letter to yourself on why LBS is important to you and what you expect from it. Then when times get tough, which it will, you can go back and remind yourself why you wanted this. Thought that was a good idea.

You have to have WANT POWER!

Best Wishes!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
