This is the best thing that ever happened to me. I am so excited. I've lost 26 pounds since the day of my surgery November 28, 2007. I feel better than I've felt in years and I can actually tell the difference. I'm not starving and I'm actually exercising 50 minutes a day. I'm not sleepy and I get up with energy. Thank God for the Band.

Started at 304 - November 28, 2007

Today at 278 - December 28, 2007

Goal - OUT OF 200's by June. Keep hope alive.

Have a Blessed Day.

Michelle, that is fabulous news! Congrats!

Michelle:

I feel the same as you do, thank god for my band......I am thrilled. 30 pounds lost since my banding on Nov 9th and I am moving right along with working out and I do feel better than I have in years.

I know it is because I don't eat junk anymore and I purged my system of all that stuff before surgery on my clear liquid diet. I have been careful not to get back into that stuff even now at the Holidays.

Keep up the great work.....you are doing great. I am glad we both are not experiencing TRUE bandster hell......I feel for those who are.

CONGRATS TO YOU I LOVE MY BAND

Michelle!! Inspiring post! Thank you!

That's awesome! I actually had my surgery the day before you... and I've lost about 28 lbs. so far! It is exciting... i have a question for you though... have you already had your first fill? and also do you feel restricted? I just had my first fill at my 4 week follow up appt. and I'm suppose to stick to 2 oz. meals... however... I find myself still able to eat way more than that... and I keep catching myself testing the waters a little and going beyond my 2 oz portion size. Just wondering how your experience is going. I'm still on mushy foods for the next 2 weeks... and then I graduate to "textured" foods.

thanks for the post!

Kayla
