In the past twenty years, I've only steadily gained weight, no matter what diet I was on, how much I exercised - I would lose 10 pounds, then gain back 15; lose 20, gain 30...all very quickly and never changing really my eating habits.

Since I was banded I've lost 12 pounds and I can't remember the last time I felt such hope! I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but this is huge for me. I haven't lost 12 pounds in 10 years!

I am so excited!

How wonderful for you!!! And just imagine....it is going to continue, and you will not be gaining it back---I love my band----looks like you will love yours too!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats! I love my band, you will too! Good Luck!

That's great. To the average person that would not seem like a big deal, but for one of "us" to lose 12lbs, and good lord, KEEP it off!!! That's enough to jump for joy.. keep up the good work.

Congratulations!

Thats awesome! Congratts!

That is great. I know what you mean about the dieting issues before banding.

Jen,

That is great...and it is a lot....every single pound puts you closer to your goal....and isn't it great to be able to look forward to stepping on the scales?..I have always dreaded those numbers, until the band...now I look forward to weighing.....thanks for sharing your numbers with us....
