Update--went to see the doc for the first time today,also first time being weighed since before being banded started 364 doc made me get down to at least 350 before day of surgury-made that 342-weighed in today 327. 37 pounds lost so far,and I cant stand jello anymore.Got to some mashed taters for dinner tonite.

Great job Mike!

Way to go Mike! Congratulations to all the upcoming bandits.

I had my second fill Friday. I have restriction now! Been losing a pound a day since. Before the fill, I was struggling, eating smaller portions, but had to force myself to not eat more. Now I HAVE to eat slow, chew well and eat small amounts. And I'm OK with it. Love the results!

Stand Strong Brothers!

that's awesome Brewa.. you and I should have a fat-off and see who makes it to the 170s first....

I don't know why I haven't seen this thread before but anyway... I'm here now.

I really need something to get me back on track. The weight is not coming off as fast as I'd like it to and I have been stuck in the same 35# range since Thanksgiving. Do I cheat? Yes, sometimes. But I wanted the band to keep me from cheating or at least give me a punch when I tried to cheat. That is not easy after years and years of bad habits.

I wouldn't say it was any one bad habit in particular, it was just negligence. Years went by and I realized one day that I had gained 150# in a space of about 10 years. All that time I did nothing to stop it. I guess I just kept making excuses and ignored the weight gain. It wasn't until health problems started occuring that I decided to do something about it.

Now, I'm stuck yet hopeful. Maybe this thread and support from other men will help.

I never had a goal weight but I remember a friend years ago told me that if I would just lose 30# she would be all over me 24/7. At that time my weight was the lowest I can remember at 235#. So I think 30# less and I will have my goal weight!

Hi guys,

I'm Wendell Edwards, nice to meet you all.

Men with Lap-Bands are RARE in my world, it will be nice to have a group to bounce ideas off of.

I'm happy with my results. :confused:

Welcome harlito and Wendell Edwards! We have some fun here and talk about guy issues with the band. Sometimes we even talk sports. Enjoy your thread!

Thanks for the complement Reptile. You are doing super also! I wish you luck in getting back into the 170s. I hope we both get there there at some time in the not too distant future. Whoever gets there first I hope the other isn't far behind. I'm rootin' for all us losers!
