Thanks!!

Congratulations again! I'm being banded March 25th. I need to lose 200-250 pds. I'm trying to decide what kind of band to use. What band do you have? Realize or what? Thanks!

Wow 6'9" your a giant.LOL What does the doc say? At that height all you may need is the excess skin removed. Ive heard of people losing a ton of weight and just the excess skin is 30 or 40 lbs. My husband holds his weight well also. Hes 6'4" 300 lbs and looks great if you ask me. Keep us posted on your progress. It is so interesting.

Since you've had true success..do you think that MEGA-T is a good supplement to take while on my diet plan with this band? I mean..I take it...and I get hot..Do I suppose to get really hot...? Is that because my metabolism is working up...a sweat in me? Let me know peeps.

I would be lieing to you if I said I even knew what the hell Mega-T was. (confused smiley thingy)

I take the Viactive Calcium and Vitamin chews....two of each per day...they are flavored caramel, chocolate, rasberry and a couple others so I get my "candy" feeling as well.

That is all I supplement. Hope that helps....from your number one "peep" ;)

Well, another milestone was reached the other day. For the first time since sometime back in 1990 I am in the "200 club" - just barely - but I am there.

Another eleven pounds and I will have lost half of my body weight.

Just proof that anyone can do this if I have. Get up everyday and tell yourself you can!

Dab,

You are truly an inspiration. I was just banded on May 8th of this year. I am starting my journey a little heavier than you were. Preop-597, day of operation- 570. Your story has definately given me hope that it is possible to achieve your goal. I haven't really put out a goal weight yet. I just want to take it one day at a time and go from there. I'm doing really well, everything went well and I have had no problems so far. My first appointment is wednesday the 20th and we'll see if we lost some weight. I've been on liquids so far so I'm sure I lost a few. Good Luck to everyone and remember to always stay positive.

you know, you might want to check the niacin in it.

niacin can make you flush, making you feel hotter than maybe you are. just a thought!

Don14 -

you are taking the same approach I did.....one day at a time...one small victory at a time. Best of luck with your journey and don't get down on yourself when you hit those small walls that I am sure you will face along the way.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
