Hello bandsters, I wanted to write and express how pleased I am 2 months post-op with getting the band! I am 24 lbs down, and for the first time in a long time can I start the new year with a weight loss promise I can keep! Now that all of the holiday treats are out of the house, I can now refocus on reaching my 60lbs mark by March! Are there any fitness challenges going on now? If so please share, I'd love to participate!

Congrats!! Many of us are able to keep our weightloss for the New year plan! 24 pounds in two months, hurrah!!Karen..aka..kll724

So glad you're doing well at two months out. I am right behind you with my eight week mark on New Year's Eve. Here's to all the success 2014 will bring!

Congratulations....glad you are doing so well at 2 months....

2 month mark for me was when things started to come unraveled...height of bandster hell...band was not doing anything for me, I started to gain weight even after my first fill...was as hungry as ever,...could eat anything.....felt the whole thing was a waste of my time and $$....

Took me 5-6 months to find that "Groove" (had it ever since) and I am as happy as can be......glad you found it so soon....

Thanks! I'm really excited!

Great to hear things are going good for you. I was banded a little before you. I'm down 28 lbs. Bravo to us for making it through the holidays!

Congratulations on your weight loss and the new band life. Time will fly by before you know it. I can honestly say I fully enjoyed the holidays without depriving myself and still managed to lose a few pounds. Band life is incredible.

Jim, good for you! Life with the band is not about restricting what we eat, but more of how much we eat! I can honestly say I enjoyed my share of desserts and goodies during the holiday!
