Well stepped on scale this morning after 2 days of being away from my beloved scale and it read 160.4 not sure if i should cry or scream as 160 is the goal i set for myself doing a happy dance....Now what to do i am a little nervous i will loose to much weight i am 5'8 and 160 also large boned and really don't want to loose to much more weight

Looking awesome yourself there girl

Docs at my center are not doing many bands anymore mostly Rny and Sleeve these days again because thy are seeing more issues with the band and it not being as successful as Rny and the sleeve do homework if u have diabetes I can tell u my surgeon would have highly recommended RNY because of the high success rate

Little update I kept losing got down to 148 lbs and now at almost a year out I range from 150-155 I am comfortable in that range but am addicted to the scale always worrying if I'm eating to much and will regain some of my weight. I have been to the nut and attend support groups regularly to stay on track have also started walking a lot more the other day I did 6.6 miles with a friend and yesterday I did 4.05 miles by myself at a fast pace took me 1 hr to complete 4 miles my goal is at least 3 miles a day . I still feel great

I am almost year out will be on 8/22/13 so anything you would like to ask feel free i also have a facebook group feel free to add me n1pmb@comcast.net that is the easiest way to do so just send me a message here with your name so im sure to accept friend request and add you to the group i have a lot of southcoast people on there

Oh it takes a long time for the mind to catch up I still try clothes on that I don't think will fit because they look so small ie: tried a medium shirt for the heck of it guess what it fit well tried a small got it on but I don't like skin tight clothes never did so I am now comfortable in a medium shirt 30 waist pants but some days I still feel like the fat guy I used to be and it's been 10.5 months for me
