August 15 marks 1 year since my band! 94 lbs down, hoping to hit the 100 mark by the anniversary, and 130 by my wedding in November! Best decision I've ever made!

It's been a tough year. From August to January I didn't lose anything! So it's really only been about 7 months of weight loss. For me, the most success I have had has been because I have been filled each month so far. I only do small increments, .1 cc each fill. The first week and a half to two weeks after my fills I'm extremely constricted, even though you're only supposed to be on liquids for a few days, I find myself only being able to tolerate liquids in that timeframe. The second two weeks of the month, it's easier for me and I can get down some soft fishes and other things. Once I am down the hundred pounds, my doctor and i discussed only being filled every other month, to lose the rest of what I'm hoping to. Just keep telling myself, it's a marathon, not a sprint LOL

Do you feel like you are in the green zone yet?

[dramatect 48]

As ironic as it sounds, I'm actually in the red zone.i had a fill last Friday, and I don't tolerate them so well initially. But then in about 2 weeks I'd say I'm green, and then 2-3 weeks from then, I find myself hungry all of the time and needing a fill. So I change throughout the month

Interesting. And are you on an exercise plan? Sorry if I'm giving you 20 questions. Just so inspired by your progress!

[dramatect 48]

Please don't apologize, ask away! I'm actually not doing any exercising right now, but I really need to start. Unfortunately back in April I was in a pretty bad car accident and I broke my wrist and needed surgery to fix it. So I wasn't allowed to do much exercise! I was finally just cleared by the doc, so I'm gonna start using the gym (lol, soon claim!)
