Looking for people that got banded that day to see how thing going

Hi there. I got banded in July. I was banded 11 days after you it seems. So far I am down 12 lbs that I know of but I only weigh when I go to the doctor. This keeps me from being half crazy as the scale move backwards and fowards. I did have a lower BMI (35) so my weight is coming off a little slower. Life with the band is truly different.

1. I no longer crave certain high carb starchy foods as I did before. (I do still have some cravings)

2. I no longer get up planning what I am going to put in my mouth.

3. I am working on walking at least 1 miles a day and get disappointed when I don't

4. My tummy is a little airy so I do take the opportunity to walk around at work each night and pretty much when ever I feel like it...no one seems to mind.

5. I love Quest bars now.

I was on July 15th - so pretty close. It is slow and steady for me. I started at 263 and am at 229 as of this Saturday. Still not in the green zone so I still struggle with controlling my intake. However, I think I am consistently losing because I stay between 900-1200 cal a day and do zumba 2-3x a week. I am finally starting to see it in my clothes. Hopefully my next fill will get me out of bandster hell!! I think I am close because i do feel full when I remember to eat slow and focus on protein. Good Luck and let us know how your doing! PS. I must confess I had cheese pizza today.... extra zumba this week I guess...

Aug 13 here. I cannot have a fill until Oct 6. Slow progress but Soo happy. I can step out of my clothes without undoing them. Bought the fitbit and trying to get my steps in. I don't plan on being a marathon runner or gym bunny but sure hope to improve my health and fitness level
