I am so thankful for my band!

I started the process at 243 lbs and was banded April 29th and have lost 45 lbs (including pre-op) and am so excited! I hit the "ONEderland" yesterday weighing in at 198!

I can't wait to see what the number is in the next few months!

Just wanted to share!

Doing a little happy dance for you!

Congrats!! I'm getting banded tomorrow. Can't wait to see ONEderland!!!

Congrats!!! Excited for you! Woo hoo!!!!!

Awesome! I was banded on the 24th and am no where near as much lost as you! I'm jealous! And now motivated...I'd love to hear more about what your strategy is for dropping this weight!

Congrats!!

I will just say, it hasn't been easy! I have tried REALLY REALLY hard to follow the guidlines given to me from True Results (of Houston- I know everyone is different) and that's really it. Eating and excersise-- 1/2-1 cup of food 3 times a day and I get some type of excersise in 3-4 times a week.

I am like (almost) anyone else on here- I have slipped up from time to time and snacked, or had one too many bites of a brownie, but all in all it has just happened. I know it will slow down- which it already has, but as a I get a fill and countdown to the next fill, 4 weeks and 6-8 lbs later goes by fast.

An example of my day would be:

Breakfast: One piece of toast with a panfried egg (only using PAM) and sometimes one slice of cheese. Sometimes I can't finish that.

Lunch: A small salad with some type of protein- usually chicken.

Dinner: It's whatever I cook the family, I just eat a VERY small portion.

Honestly, I don't track calories. (& there might come a time when I do have to start!) I know what is right and wrong when it comes to high calorie. If Im not sure, I will look it up to. I don't want to DIET the rest of my life, but this is becoming more and more of a lifestyle change, so I'm really happy with my decision.

Ok, I think I am done with this book. LOL!

How many fills have you had? It sounds like you are in your green zone...very cool.

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm at a stall at 217. I so badly want to get to ONEderland in the worst way, sometimes I think I'm trying too hard to get that magical number. I haven't been in the one's since 1987! I was banded 12/28/12 and I'm down 50 lbs. I'm sure I've hit a plateau and need a kick start to get that scale moving down again.

That's so awesome that you're in ONEderland!

Congrats! Way to go.

That is fabulous! Can't wait to join you in onderland!
