Anyone else close to being under 300lbs????

I can finally see 200's in my future!!! It's been several years since I've been below 300 and it didn't last long on previous attempts, but I'm feeling pretty confident this time with my band it will be different! I hope I'm right!!!!

I've been doing good the last 2 weeks... doing exercise and following rules!!! Anyone else want to join me in the short term goal of getting rid of the "3" being the first digit in our weight?????????

Fantastic Bratz!!!! I am so glad to see you post!!! I too have been struggling, with the same last 10 pounds to get below 300!!!!! I am to get another fill next week!! Glad to hear the scale is moving for you!!!!

:crying::thumbup::lol::thumbup::rofl::thumbup::rofl:

Keep up the good work!!!!

Tess, I just know your next fill will do the trick! Keep up the good work. Thanks again for starting this thread! It has been such an encouragement for those of us in the same boat!:Banane37:

I'd like to check in . Got banded 7/28 @314lbs (331lbs to start) and this morning i was 300 - so close i can taste it

I get my first fill next week and think i need it not hungry but feel i can eat too much in a sitting.

Congrats I can't wait to join you all

I have a quick question, I got banded on June 25th. I had my first fill on 7/21 ans am scheduled for the next fill on Monday. I was losing great until the first fill and was put on solid food. I have only lost 6 pounds in the last month. Is it normal to slow down the weight loss right after the first fill or am I doing something wrong? I am never hungry and have a hard time eating anything.

Russ-Remember we are only supposed to lose 1-2 pounds a week, so that makes you right on target!!!!!! That is a wonderful weightloss!!!! Sounds to me you're doing great!!!!

Congratulations!!!! How fantastic for you!!

I weighed 333 on July 2nd at my consult. I ate like crazy till July 15th and then began the pre-op diet. I was 322 at surgery on July 29th. Yesterday, September 3rd I had my first fill and I weighed 306. I have my second fill on Septmber 17th and I am trying really hard to get under 300 by then! So, From July 15 till September 3rd (7 weeks & 2 days) I lost at least 27 lbs (probably more after my goodbye to food tour!). All of that and somehow I still feel like nothing is happening! Aren't we sad sometimes?
