Well, it's 5 pm and I still have restriction! I keep expecting it to disappear but, so far, so good. In fact, I was so busy today, I forgot to eat! Let's see, the last time that happened was...NEVER! :faint:

Hello Maysters! Ok, to start off my September Challenge -- official weight on the new scale -- 237. Stupid scale....:cry ....I like the old one better. It would have said 232. But at least I have a starting point. That's still 31 lbs from my heaviest and 25 lbs since surgery.....I think. It's rather confusing since I started with one scale and changed to another.

But still that would be 217 by my birthday. :clap2: Wow! I haven't been that low in 10....maybe 15 years! I'll take it. Today was a rather slow exercise day. I did 30 min. on the treadmill. I actually entered in a "program" -- beginning walking -- and did that. I still did over a mile. With HILLS!!!!! Then I did about 20 min. on the circuit. Dr. says to make sure I do weights and that circuit is definitely weights! I started thinking the resistance on the machines were too low, but by the time I finished, my arms and chest and hamstrings were screamin'. :) So I guess it was ok. I'll get measured tomorrow, so that should be interesting. If I still had my old scale, I think this last month would have been around 8-9 lbs. Oh, how I miss that old scale!!!!!:think

Well, it's 9:30 and I still have restriction! I ate about 1/3 of what I have been having for dinner and am still not hungry. In fact, I have eaten so little today that I am going to have a Protein shake before I go to bed just to get in some extra calories.

Tonight as I was explaining this new restriction to my husband I actually started crying. I am so happy to finallly have the band really working for me! Of course, I am also PMSing so I'm overly emotional anyway.

I just want to encourage all of you May Bandsters who don't have good restriction yet. It makes such a huge difference when you finally get there. Just be patient and you'll make it!

Ok, no more posting about my restriction! I am sure you are all sick of hearing about it by now! :)

Hello May Crew!

I was banded May 25th and I lost 20 pounds in the first 3 1/2 weeks. In the last 12 days since then, I have lost no weight at all and have even seen the scale go up an additional two pounds. I have been doing the Protein shakes along with mushy foods. I have been afraid to go to 100% food for fear of overeating because I feel no restriction so I am hanging onto the Protein drinks. I can't believe I haven't dropped any weight and may have even gained a few pounds with as little calories as I am consuming which I guess is around 800 - 900 calories. HELP.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
