Hey ladies!!

10 weeks out form surgery today...and I weighed 228.8 on the scales. I am about to jump up and down and fgo screaming down the hallways. For the first time I am really saying "I am shrinking".

I am so close to being at my lowest weight....I *think* I weighed 219 when we got married.....and that was after losing weight on Atkins.< /p>

I ordered a dept t shirt at work today...I decided to get a Large ( NOT X-Large) and make it a goal shirt.

What is everyone eating today??????????

You are doing so well,:sad: you will be in that t.shirt in no time!

Re: "What is everyone eating today?" - My surgeon wants his patients to eat meals of no more than 200 calories, which I'm trying hard to do.

This was my Breakfast today: -

Herb tea - 0 cals

1/2 sandwich thin toasted -50 cals

A 2 egg white omelet - 50 cals

Sonoma Jack cheese wedge - 25 cals

1/2 cup blueberries - 35 cals

1/2 cup Lt. yogurt - 40 cals

Exactly 200 cals, with 22 grams of protein!

Okay my fellow December Delights,

I finally got my 2nd fill today. Yeah, only my second but I thank God for it. Still not too much put in though. Only 1.5 cc. My doc says he likes to take it slow because overfill cause more problems than necessary even when he can take some out later if it I am too tight. I guess I should be grateful. At least he is cautious and I really don't want to go through the too tight ordeal. He did give me an appointment to come back in 3 weeks for another fill though. I do feel this one this time at least. I drank about 2 ozs of a smoothie and I am full. Let's see how long this lasts. I don't hurt or anything and I am actually satisfied. I really like this. Now I have hope of what my band can do for me. I have determined to restart my exercise program. I have my schedule all made out and everything. LOOK OUT WORLD....HERE I COME!!!

3/11/10 My 3 month bandiversary had a fill. Now I am at 7cc/14ccband I have lost a total of 58 lbs since last Feb. 09, 2009.(10#before surgery) I have been off my diabetes, cholestrol, and reflux meds since the surgery. I went to my primary doctor tues and had blood work done. My blood pressure was great. The doctor office called yesterday and I was like something is wrong, they only call when something is wrong. They told me everything was great. I was in the normal range with everything. I am feeling great. This is the best I have felt in a long time. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
