Well all my supporters, this has been a ride. I am just 3 months post op, June 9th, and I have lost 33 POUNDS to date, and 15 inches, 6 of which are in the waist. Amazing how great I feel. I have NO REGRETS at all. It is totally worth everything. I have had 3 fills. The 3rd really proved to make a difference in HOW I eat. There wasn't much restriction with 1 & 2, but 3 proved to teach me some lessons. I discovered a lot of things like eating slow, not to fast & not to big of a bite either. I had several days of something not going down right and that was NOT an enjoyable experience. Now I know what it feels like to be buliemic. Yuck!!!! Also, when they say don't DRINK with your meals, the are not kidding. That also causes food to not go well.

 

Even through these "lessons" I have no regrets. I am fitting into a size 18/20 which I cannot remember the last time I wore that size. I move better, I sleep better and I just feel so great. I hear I look younger too which, hey, is ALWAYS great to hear right?

 

I hope you all are having some great results. It isn't easy by any means, but totally worth the work.

 

What I am most proud of:

ME!! I am proud of me for accomplishing this. I have made total lifestyle changes and I have been loyal to myself. I haven't cheated, because really I am only cheating myself if I do. The things I have done, I never thought I could and that is a great feeling. Before, I probably would have said screw this and pass the cheesecake, but I have stuck it through and that is the great feeling for me. I am proud of what I have done. Thank you all for your constant support. It means more to me than I can ever tell you.

 

Best wishes to all fellow bandsters, and good luck.

Hello, I am so glad to here about your success cause i worry about mine. Its been 4weeks and lost a total of 18lbs. I was just wondering what the weight loss should be but i am proud to have lost what i have already. Congratulations on yours and keep up the good work. I am proud of all the bandsters out there cause i would have thought this would have been easier but its like being on a regular diet but with a smaller stomach and that is good for me. keep up the good work and stay on track.

Hey Wendy,

Congratulations, I am glad everthing is going good for you. I am still doing my 6 month diet for the insurance. I have been very depressed about it to. But after reading about your success, I have renewed hope for myself. Teresa
