I was banded 3-20-09 and today I have met my first goal. I am down 40lbs since my surgery. Wooohoo!!:glare: A co-worker yesterday said my stomach has really went down. I am so excited. However, I remember a few years ago when I was at this weight and I wore a smaller size. Funny. I wish everyone luck on their journey.

T, I am facing the same dilemma, especially since I am much older than you with slower metabolism. The last time I was this wt I was 2 sizes smaller. It is said that every time we gain wt we are FATTER with less lean muscle mass. I believe it. So when I was younger a bigger portion of my wt was muscle which is trimmer than flabby fat. That is why I am working out trying to restore some lean muscle and burn fat.

Good luck to you.
