Hi There! Yes, I am so proud of myself. You have already lost alot of weight yourself. Prior to being banded I wasn't able to keep the weight off. I was a yo-yo dieter and over the past year I have gone from my pre-op weight of 183lbs to 135. My goal is 120lbs and I have really cut my carbs so its now just started coming off slowly. Aunt Lucy do you attend any support groups. I am looking to start attending so that I can keep my motivation up and keep the weight off.
