Okay, I have been sitting still all summer and I am getting a fill on October 16th so my goal for October is to break the 100 pound mark. It's only a couple of pounds, if you guys can keep a secret I actaully have put 5 pounds on in the last month so I really need to lose 7 pounds to break the 100 pound mark. Shh it's a secret.

Cheers

I was banded last December in Mississauga by Dr L Tin at the credit valley hospital. 93 pounds is a lot but I have been between 98 and 90 pounds since the beggining of June. I have been very busy with work (New Job) so my stress level has been high. It's time to start losing again however so with my fill coming up I plan to start dropping lbs's.

I work out 5 days a week so I think it's all about intake, my big challenge is ice cream so I have stopped buying the stuff.

Onwards and Downwards as they say.

Cheers

awesome job, Tommy! How much more to you want to lose?

I'm a big ice cream fan, but luckily for me, it seems that after a few bites, my band shrinks closed and I can't do any more! LOL

Oh, all the wasted trips to Dairy Queen.... and the container of Cherry Garcia that's actually been in my freezer for WEEKS!

You guys know how long that USED to last me (never mind my midnight trips to the freezer, eating Dan's ice cream! No more!)

Anyways, good job Tommy. You really should come visit us here more often! ;)

I would like to lose another 50 -60 lbs then see what happens, I started at 420 so a 150 pound loss puts me no lower than 270. It may seem high but I'm 6 foot 6 and look quit fit below 300. I played football in a past life and have a fairly muscular build so 270 would be a good weight.

I tell be people I have a washboard stomach it's just piled high with laundry.

Just gotta stay away from that old ice cream. Looks light Jello light pudding is going to have a sales boost ;)

Canadian, my fingers are crossed, good luck.

Tommy!!! That's fantastic, 93 lbs, now that is encouraging for all of us. As for the ice cream, have you ever tried frozen yogurt. My husband is a big ice cream fan and now he eats frozen yogurt. Chapman makes several flavors, my husband's favorite is cappacino with chocolat expresso flakes and for 1/2 a cup it's about 100 calories.

lol about the laundry. What kind of football did you play? We are big Canadian football fans in this house and we have season tickets to the Montreal Alouettes. Go Als Go!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
