sorry for what happened to you. he is a real jerk. us guys look at it this way though. the more jerks there are the easier it is for us good guys to get the great woman. it was his loss.

I can't wait to be in the 200's ! Only 12 more pounds !

Congrats you Big Loser ! LOL :clap2:

agree 100% I have had it sneak up on me with no fills. When you have no real restriction yet you tend to forget and next thing you know you have a huge fork full in your mouth and bam ! PB HELL !:phanvan

I walk or have a sugar free ice pop. Putting on my ipod and just taking off by myself for an hour walking tends to clear my head of most things.

Less than 3 months and down 75 !

Congrats on your date ! If you have any questions feel free to ask away !

Would have to say + 1 on this ...........Its only been 4 weeks.

I can see a little difference in my pics. I don't have one at my highest of 389lbs but I do have this one the night before the operation and a pic from the other day. I have lost a couple more since this already.

I did a 2 week liquid diet before surgery to shrink the liver. I lost 18 lbs on medifast.

Your average is around 2.5 a week ! Thats GREAT ! Don't be disappointed you are exceeding the band average weight loss of 1-2 lbs a week. Get your but back in gear and you will do even better ! :clap2:

WOOOHOO !:whoo::clap2:

Just wanted to check in and say YO ! I had my 3rd fill on Friday and think I finally have decent restriction ( for now) and I am loving it ! 6cc's I think has actually done it for me. Well off to exercise some more.

I am hopefully going as a contract fire fighter. I was supposed to go last year and had my ship date and was ready to go until they changed the BMI requirement to 35 and I got bumped. Needless to say I was pissed at myself over that one. So I am hoping to get down to that goal before Christmas and head on over for a year. Its pretty safe working environments for us because we don't go outside the bases.

My main goal is around 200. I need to get to 250 so I can take a certain job and go to Iraq. My bmi needs to be 35. I am 5'10".

Presently I have been doing just cardio. I think I am going to start lifting this week ! I walk at minimum 2.5 a day and walk 4 or 5 like 2 or 3 days a week.

Hoping to be able to walk better when doing my pheasant hunting this year ! :clap2:

Use it as a motivator and stay on course! Your doing great so far !

Woohoooo congrats on our new sub forum ! Come on guys lets get this forum going ! :whoo:

I was banded about a week after you were so I am at about the same point you are. You really need to watch what you eat until you get a good restriction. You need lots of will power. I am going for my third fill on Friday and going to get another 2cc's put in. I have 4 now and barely have any at all. What kind of exercise are you doing? I would recommend walking and more walking lol. Heck I just walked in from doing 5 more miles.

Thats how I should do it. I should only weigh myself every couple weeks or once a month. I am a scale junky though :nervous.

this is how I have been keeping track and today is my 2 month anniversary!
