Hi ladies and gents of Band-land!!!

I figured since i havent said anything in a while i will tell everyone my progress!!! Well ive been eating high Protein low carb 99% of the time, which is the plan my Dr. puts everyone on. I do a lot of daily activity but as of yet i havent really been scheduling in exercise, but i am SO excited about my progress! When i started all this i was 252LB and as of yesterday afternoon i am 211.4! AHHHH!!! I went from a really REALLY snug 18, to a 14!!! I would encourage everyone to also measure themselves when you weigh in, because my inches lost is so crazy! I have lost 4 inches each in the bigger parts, and a few here and there in the other parts, with the best one being a whopping 9in. around my tush! This totals me out at 23.25inches lost!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? I have been constantly going shopping and trying on new styles, I feel so much more confident, and i feel so sexy! Its so great to have people just go "wow... you lot A LOT of weight..." and whats more, in 9lb i will be halfway there!!! ahhhhh!!!!! Im hoping to be in a bikini by bikini season... congrats to all the other amazing losers... and dont fret if its slowing down...sometimes sex is the best work out out there, and it gives you all those happy hormones!!!

Nikki:lol:

Congrats! That is amazing! What do you typical eat in a day? Are you filled???

Thanks! I am genuinely so happy about beginning my new life Well my Dr has a very strict belief that what got us all to this point is carb addiction. We don crave carbs the same way we crave other food (Think back to when you were full after dinner.... until you saw the cheesecake... then magically had room for it???) It made a lot of sense to me, and i really like the support the office gives... because for me i am just not strong enough to have a bite of one cookie yknow? or a single small serving of pasta? I am allowed to have any normal sized meat, or fish, as many veggies as i want, and generous portions of fats like cheese, and some fruit. I avoid Banana's and oranges bc both are so high carb. I do sometimes eat other things, but when i do eat any kind of carb its always with extreme moderation. I have sugar free ice cream from time to time, but i never have bread, pasta, or rice of any kind.

As far as being filled, i have a 6 or 7cc band and i have between .5 and 1cc... so i have VERY little restriction, which really stinks... im hoping that when i go in during the first week of October that i can get a bit more.... right now i can eat damn near a whole meal... its frustrating... but yknow, its still working so i cant be too upset! Last night i wore a pair of skinny jeans that were a 14 and it was actually big in some places!!!! yey!!!! ANy suggestions on food???
