I finally did it. I've lost 200 pounds

Almost 15 months ago, I had Lap Band surgery.

Today I am thrilled to announce I have now officially lost 200 pounds since then.

If I wasn't currently in the hospital I'd post pics. I will take some later when I'm home and better.

I just had to share! :)

Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't do anything special. I just track all my calories to be sure I stay within my daily allowance and never eat more than a cup of food per meal. I've done both since the day I got home from the hospital after my band surgery and it's definitely paid off.

Oh. My. Gosh. That is truly amazing!! Get well soon.

Wow, great job, I am so happy for you! You are truly an inspiration and help us out on LBT with your advice :). Get well soon and share your pics.

I will post pics as soon as I get rid of the rest of the Water weight. 3 1/2 days of IV fluids and malfunctioning kidneys resulted in 16 pounds of water weight! I was so swollen my hands were twice their normal size and the skin was so tight it hurt. I couldn't even put on socks because my ankles were so swollen.

I've lost 9 pounds of the water since Wednesday so 7 more to go. Ugh! LOL!

Congrats. You are am inspiration.

Way to go! You must feel amazing, like a new person. I imagine the energy you've picked up along the way has been a huge bonus as well. Speedy recovery, hope you're home soon. You're a real inspiration. I'm not a food logger, I really struggle with that part of the whole thing. You've proven that it works so I'm going to make an honest attempt to get my sh*t together, get organized and start logging. Thanks for your post(s)!

Congratulations! Get well soon!

Amazing result, be very proud of your superb achievement. What a great inspiration you are to all us newly banded folk!

My She-ro !! Congratulations !!
