1/14/13 - the start of a journey!

That was the day the journey and new life truly began! As of 2/13/13, I'm down 30lbs... this has definitely been a bumpy and windey road for me... but I'm trying to remain strong!

Anyone else a band twin with me??

Wow, 30 pounds in 30 days? Amazing!!!

I was banded on 1/18, only down 16lbs. As of today.

1/4 cup of food and I seem to be hungry sooner.

Just saw your post. Sounds like you are doing very well so far. I also was banded on January 14th. I hope to lose 120 lbs. total and as of today I'm down 51 so far. I've tossed an awful lot of clothes...some of them I've had for years and I just know I won't need to hold onto them anymore...especially as many of them were suits and everyone dresses much more casual at the office these days... How about you band twin? How are you doing so far? Have you had any fills? None for me so far.

You should be eating nearly a cup of food. 2-3 ounces of dense Protein, 1/4 cup of veggies and 1/4 of a good carb. Then see where you are. Keep up the good work, but don't starve yourself. Try to get off Protein drinks too.

That is awesome if you are still doing so well without a fill! I had one fill only, at goal now. I was banded 1/30/12. Keep up the great work!

Band 2/08 and down 44 lbs.

wow...nearly at goal already. that's great. unfortunately, I can't exercise much. I've got very bad arthritis and it keeps me from doing much. I exercise in the pool 3 days a week because that's the once place where I can exercise without pain, but it's more for leg strength at this juncture, and not for weight loss.
