Wow all I can say is this band thing is the best, 40 lbs down and 80 to go!

The Good:

1) that crazy hunger switch that has been on for 41 years is now turned off.

2) no longer crave carbs, not even a little.

3) down 3 holes in my belt

4) all my tight stuff is no longer tight.

5) I was lucky I always felt good about my self but now Im feeling GREAT

6) My wife is no longer worried about me putting on more and more weight.

7) Its been VERY easy I just walk 5 times a week for a few miles

8) I know this will add years to my life, I lucked out and had no weight related health problems or any health problems at all.

9) lol its saving me money, not spending lots of cash at the fat food joints.

10) lots of good support here

11) have zero fill in my band so its easy for me to drink tons of Water and if I do slip up and not chew enough I dont always have a PB, I did have one 6 weeks ago and wow that was no fun. I will not have a fill untill the weight loss stops.

12) Have TONS of skinny cloths ready to go

13) no longer think/lust after food 24-7

14) eating is just something I do 3 times a day now, no longer a big deal.

15) another 20lbs and I will no longer have to shop at the Big and Tall stores!

The Bad:

1) I will be having to buy tons of new threads.

Good stuff. Congrats on your progress !

Renob, Great story I too was banded on Oct 13, Lost 17lbs since surgery date, and down 39lbs from first dr. appointment.

I am throwing away the clothes and finding items I haven't worn in years. KEEP FOCUSED.

Regards,

DCORNA

Some very good things happening to you! It keeps getting better!

Fantastic job boner!

WTG Renob....

It's been almost 13 weeks since surgery and have dropped 65 pounds (includes pre-op diet). Still no fill. I want to lose about another 40. I now enjoy going to the gym, having a little trouble with the wife not as excited about going.

Fantastic job boner!

Intriguing... wondering why Plain calls Renob Boner... [need a smilie that shows raised eyebrows]

Anyway, congrats Renob. You're definitely kicking my butt in the weight loss department. Alas, I am a very slow loser.

Good job Renob and Donna both. I cant wait to quit carrying around 40lbs.

aaahhhhhh -- and here I was thinking Plain had some sort insidious carnal knowledge of Renob... :eek:

congrats , keep up the good wk i've only lost 26 pounds and my surgery was 8-11-08 :eek: but thats not to bad i guess , i didn't put in on overnight.

Well I dont look at as a "kicking my butt" sort of thing, its not a race and we all will get there in our own time.

I have always been lucky in that the pounds come off fast, lol but I can put them on way faster and thats what brought me to the BAND!!! Im sure I will start slowing down, I have noticed this week having less restriction looks like I might need to get a fill soon.
