I had lap band surgery 3/29 and have lost 18 lbs...not sure it its great or not but I started at 242 and am now 224. I guess I just may be a little inpatient, but I think this is going super slow...and I cant wait to get to 199.....the worst is sometimes I gain like 3 lbs in a week and loose them the following week when I dont make any changes to my diet or routine.
