I am so jealous. You have done great. I have lost 52 since starting but had lost 20 getting ready for the surgery. What is working so well for you?

You're doing GREAT! I lost 16 before surgery . . .but I count it in what's I've lost . . . so we just about the same . . . if you aren't ahead of me! i'm hoping for fill #3 on the 20th! that will put me at 2.5 in my 10cc band.

Keep up the good work!

Chris,

Thanks for the support. I have had 3 fills, the last being on 5/22/2008 and have 4.5cc in a 10 cc band. I have been thinking strongly about going in for another fill-though I am restricted as I have put on the other posts with proteins, veggies and fruits. I am kind of torn.

Good luck and keep up the great work.

Hello everyone, I had no idea this area even existed, lol. Glad I found it. Here are my stats 8 months out.

Banded on December 13, 2007 by Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver, Co with a 14CC APL Large Lap-Band. I have had a total of 6 fills and I am now at 10.25cc's. My restriction is fairly good, although it has been diminishing the past few weeks so I think it is time for another fill soon. I have one scheduled on Aug 26th.

I have lost a total of 110 pounds so far and I still have 126 pounds left to lose but I feel GREAT! I have survived mostly on high Protein and low carbs. My diet consists of mainly baked fish, chicken, tuna salad, Protein shakes, scrambled eggs and lots of veggies. I rarely eat Pasta, bread, potatoes, sugar, starches, and other high-carb foods. When I do, my weight loss stalls so I stay away from them. I am hoping to be at goal by next December.

Thanks for all the encouraging updates. Keep up the great work everyone.

It is amazing to see how far some people have come. Miss, when I look at what you have been eating versus myself, it is no wonder I haven't lost more. It is very inspiring to read the positive responses. I hope that i can get into some kind of groove.

Good luck to all and way to go.
