I am new to this site but I thought it would be cool to blog. First off my weight...since i know I like to read what other did after a year. The day of my surgery I was 5'7 and weighed in at 227 and even though my year check up is not until next week I weighed my self on the 6th and I weighed in at 181.6 I went from a size 16/18 to a 10/12... I have seen many people lose weight a lot faster but I am good with where I am at. I got my lap band for free I got in on a study for people that have lower Bmi!!! I was pretty blessed with this one..But, now that the weight is falling off I throw up eveything and sometimes water do not even got down. I follow the rules not eating flour products or drinking while I eat but this is not fun right now....
