Haven't posted in a while but just wanted to share. I am almost 10 months post op and down 55 pounds. While there are days I hate this band (like now as I'm trying to eat chicken breast) the positives definitely outweigh the negatives!

Wow!! That's amazing, keep up the great work!!!I can't wait to be there some day.... I'm getting banded in a about a month and just want to see that weight coming off, and the new me!!

Best of Luck

It was the best decision I ever made in my life. The first week is rough so don't get discouraged!

Awesome pics! Congrats! What a difference 55 pounds makes.

Awesome progress! Keep up the good work.

New life for you..... Awesome!

You look GREAT! So happy for you -- what a thing to reclaim your health like that. You are gorgeous. Have fun!

Beautiful! Hooray!

And wow! Look at you! You look AMAZING! Keep up the good work!

Thank you all!

Oh wow!! You look great. Keep up the good work. Congratulations!!

You look great and your hard work shows. Thanks for checking in!

You look fabulous!! You're doing great!

You look beyootyful ! Way to go ! If its any help I cant do chicken breast or pork chops ( too dry) but I do just fine with chicken thighs and pork loin. Biiiig difference in texture !! Keep up the good work, I figure my day is only 5% negitive by being banded, but 95% positive by the weight loss and feeling healthier, so i look at the bright side . Good luck !

Thats a bunch of weight. Better than gaining weight and a good amount monthly to lose. Nice and slow, 4-6 pounds a month is great. Gets the body in a nice rhythm, not too much weight loss but just right over many months. This is what most doctors want us to do. We learn about what we can eat and make better choices, most of the time.

Congratulations!

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.
