How are you doing? Are you happy with your band? Are you making your band work for you? Where were you banded? What do you eat now? Do you exercise?

Hi Teresita! im fine happy and all, still trying to realise what happened to me.. I adore my Band, i could never lose so much weight by myself..

I banded in Athens, Greece, my town.

I eat everything except of my addictions cause i don't want to sabotage

my effort. I do not exercise unfortunately.. i just walk when ever i remember to the traidmill.

I wish for all my July 2005 friends to keep trying and theres not way stopping to lose. Im very proud of being member of the July 2005 team!

Good morning! I'm just checking on in on the July '05 Team! I was so excited about PinkMary's post yesterday, and hope some of our other friends from last year will post on this thread, so let's keep bumping it up so it will be on the new post list!

I am a July bandster as well, July 23rd, (which also happens to be my wedding anniversary). I have felt great about my surgery. I have been happy with my weight loss although I feel stuck at the moment. I haven't lost in a couple of weeks. I have also had bouts lately with reflux but am working through that. I have only had one fill and when I went for my 2nd one they said I was doing great and didn't want to give me one due to the fact that I was losing what I needed. I guess I am okay, I still feel restricted some days and not so much somedays.

I went from a size 20 down to a size 10/12. I work out quite a bit. I have changed from doing so much cardio to doing more weights and toning now. I do have excess skin although it isn't really bad. I do have weight on my thighs that I can't seem to get off and would like to have PS for that and to give me back my boobs. I would also love to have a TT and heck while I am at it, just do it all, except my face. I don't want anthing done with that.

All in all I am very excited and looking forward to year #2. Congrats everyone!

You've done great, Kim!

That's one of the great things about lap band...we still lose in year 2! Keep checking in, and keep us all posted on your great progress!

Awesome Job you guys!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Reading y'all's posts is very inspirational. For those of us who are just beginning this journey, it's wonderful to hear about your great progress. And, I truly appreciate your honesty about the difficulties, too.

As a soon-to-be bandster, congrats to you all and thanks for the motivation!

Still looking for July '05 Bandsters! Thanks for the postive feedback!

hi all july 19 is my 1 year i have had no problem's with band, i think i have the slow loser's title i can't convert from kilo's to pound's very well but it's around 22-24 pounds and 2 dress sizes and it's simply my fault i have good restriction but it the wrong stuff, but i am happy enough it's going slowly and at this rate by our summer in dec i should be down another size

Hello July 05 Bandits!!!!:clap2: ...I was banded 7/13/05 and have lost 68 lbs. I am VERY happy!!! I thought it would have been closer to 100 but I was being over zealous and I have to admit I didn't exercise enough. If i had to do it all again...I'd be right there AGAIN!! I'm really excited to see everyone's progress. I think we should take pics and post them if we didn't do so already....EVERYONE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!...Cindy

Hi all,

I was banded 7/27. I also can not believe it is going to be a year. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I'm so happy :confused:

Cindy and Karen, great job! I'm happy you've had a great year with your bands!

Are there any other July '05 Bandsters out there?

There was a list last July that had all of us July bandsters on it, let me see if I can find it....~Mandy

Thank You Mandy!!!

Congrats to all the July '05 bandsters!! Great work. My anniversary is the 27th. Down 83 pounds and very happy. I do walk 6 of 7 days a week for 40 minutes and do look forward to it. NEVER thought I would say that!! I eat about 1-2 cups depending on day. No bread, eggs sometime, no steak except a taste of my DH's. Eat lots of fish and chicken. I am finding myself snacking at night with popcorn and sherbet or SF-FF pudding. And a few cookies but not everyday. I need to watch that tho.

Looking forward to next year too.

Start 297.5 and now 214.5----

I would do this again in a heartbeat!!
