I know what you mean! I feel the same success when I hit 299. I hadn't been under 300 pounds in over 15 years. It's amazing what a number on a scale can do for you mentally.

Hello all!! Oh wow!! I am so glad I found this ... I was just 'hunting' for some local AZ banders... I am just south of the Chandler area - but am always traveling to the East Valley - and well if you guys haven't met up... we SHOULD!!

I was banded back in March 2012 - and progress is a bit slow.. down 50+lbs since the surgery.. on average a whole 5lbs a month!? but hey.. progress right? anywho... enough of my griping.. :) Lets plan something!!

Hey, progress is progress! You are making progress losing rather than gaining, so that is to be celebrated! :) I would love for us to meet up someplace for hot chocolate/coffee sometime. I'm thinking some workday after 5. Does that fit with everyone's schedule? Who likes that idea, or who has another idea?

@ SusanSk - Thank you.. you're right.. progress is progress!! :) Sometimes I forget that... :) but yes coffee would be AWESOME.. my favorite!! and yes after 5 works perfect for me.. just name the time and place!! (FYI I am also off Fridays and Saturdays if that helps in the planning!)

Weekends are better for me I work nights. But with advanced notice I can rearrage my hours. I wish I needed to shop however the last time I lost weight pre banding I held on to the clothes. After the next 30 lbs we will definitely need to go shopping!!! Maybe for swimsuits???? Lol. Lets set a date ;) for our first meeting. Happy Monday to all

Ok---I propose that we meet Saturday, January 19th.--a week from Saturday. Everyone is welcome to come out and meet. It will be a great support system for our local banders group! How about meeting at the Starbucks at Arizona Ave and the 202 in Chandler. The address is 1395 S. Arizona Avenue, Chandler. Shall we meet about 10:00 in the morning? I think according to everyone's posts, we would be free on the weekends. If this doesn't fit with anyone's schedule, just speak up. Nothing is set in stone.

Yay---we have a date set!

      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.

      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!!
