Well as of today I have lost 100 pounds from my high weight!!! well 100.5 to be exact:rolleyes. It has been a long journey. It began in March of 2006, when I decided to get serious about the band. I figured that I should test my ability to make a commitment to this tool. So I gave up the thing I love most---candy! After a year of eliminating candy from my diet I lost 15 pounds.:clap2: When I saw my nutritionist in May of this year, she asked me to follow a high protein, 1600 cal a day "eating plan" for 3 days. Well I did and haven't stopped to this day. I lost an additional 40 pounds before surgery. With the help of my band I have lost 45 more since my surgery! As I sit here typing I can hardly beleive this is happening to me!!!!!!

What a major accomplishment!!!!! You should be so proud of yourself!

CONGRATS TO YOU!!!:whoo::whoo:
