June 08 - 219

banded 3/18/08

Let's see how everyone is doing so far........

I'm down 63lbs. I am scheduled for my third fill Sept 8th. I think I went too long without a fill. My second was June 12th. So hopefully third times a charm and can get to the smaller clothes in my closet.

Before the band 250

this morning, 208

In 2002 I had congestive heart failure - and a weight of 308

that means that today, I'm 100 pounds thinner

2 years ago, I got down to 185. It was wonderful. That's my current goal. I love the clothes I got then. I want to wear them again!

My prayer is the the band helps me to keep it off! I've been obese all my life.

Congrats mergatroy! You are close to your goal! You should be really proud of yourself.

thanks for your encouragement, it always helps....

I saw where we had a request to help bolster all of our emotional energy, Celebrate our successes and give us a motivation energy shot in the arm by adding up and sharing where we are at our 6 months out time frame.

Please copy the previous post and add your info to it at the bottom so we keep adding on and don't lose anybody. I'll try to keep an eye on this thread to keep it going.

Congratulations to all!

Here we go.....:thumbup::smile::smile::smile: -- 6 smilies for 6 months!

Do you only want weight lost since surgery date, or should it include the post op diet weight or total weight loss if some was lost before the pre op diet?

I think we should use the surgery day weight.

Most of our tickers account for pre op losses.
