Started at 257 pounds and now I am here sitting at an amazing 147 pounds and I could not have done it without my yool/band. It has been one heck of a journey but a journey well worth it,hair loss and all.

Wow! thats amazing. Have you got any tips on how you stayed motivated and what your meals were to reach this goal so quickly. I started at 257 lost 59 pounds but have been stuck on a plateau for the last year. My last fill had me at 6 cc but it was too tight and had to have some Fluid released April this year due to restriction on the esophagus. Gained back 10 pounds but I'm scheduled to get a refill this month. They took out 3 cc to give my esophagus a break. Hoping to have filled back to at least 5 cc. Any tips on meals would greatly be appreciated, getting back on it again and getting motivated .

Don't get discouraged you'll get there. My thing is I'm horrible with needles and surgery and I've had tons of those lol and I told myself I did not go through this surgery and pain not to have the results I want and need. My meal plan never changes much and it's quiet dreadful lol but I stick to it since it seems to work and I walk/run from 5 to 10 miles everyday. I sometimes try to make excuses for not doing the walks and then I'm like nope no matter what I'm getting it done today and I do. For Breakfast I have an avocado slightly hollowed out and I bake an egg inside or I have a boiled egg, for lunch I have a Protein Bar 30mg and dinner is always fish and or pork because for me I find it hard to eat chicken and I'm not a big beef eater. Good luck you are going to get there and remember progress is progress no matter how big or small and we all get off track from time to time we're human it happens so don't beat yourself up about it.
