22 Months In - Still at Goal and Skinny - Easily Maintaining

[Allison0927 329]

HI everyone! Haven't been on for quite a while but just popping in to say - 22 months in and still SKINNY!!! Maintaining within 5 pounds of goal at all times. Don't even think about any of it anymore. Just a routine part of my life. Portions are just small. Sometimes I even forget to eat or force myself. It's been wonderful. No - not all my problems were solved just like they warn you. BUT being thin and pretty and in beautiful outfits all the time sure ain't bad!!!! =) Just wanted to tell you all that despite all the negativity about the band it does work and it's the best decision I ever made. Surgery was really quick and easy and other than a few scary moments with "odd" feelings or pains at the very beginning - I've had no problems and don't even think about the band. BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!

Thanks for sharing, Allison! That's wonderful. So happy for you. Those of us just starting out really appreciate hearing how well you are doing. I'm pre-op scheduled for June 20. Any tips for the immediate post-op period? Thanks!

Congrats...it is a NEW LIFESTYLE..you don't think about it all that often and it does all become day to day routine.....I have been at my goal also, same as you I keep loosing and gaining within the same 5 lbs....don't think about what and when I eat and sometimes (most times) and when I do portions are small....Bingo! Couldn't be easier, or Better!
