I have finally lost over 100# and have just 20-30 more to go. I was nanded in August 2008 but had 2 set backs. First the port rolled and I couldnt get filled and then I had to have my gallbladder out which required emptying the band. I ran and 8K last year and have done 2 5K this year one with and obstacle course. I am feeling great, healthy and strong. I am hoping to rech goal by fall which will be 3 years

Who measures food?
Willowglen replied to thereitgoes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I dont bother measuring food, I can only eat a small amount, I have learned that if I over eat, it goes back up. -
I will be one year on August 28, at that time I should be about 90# lost with 50 more to go. I am hoping to reach my goal by late winter or early spring. I am still losing about 6# a month.

Willowglen replied to IrBaileyzMa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am about 11 months out now, I generally go out on the weekends for a couple of drinks. I usually drink diet coke & rum or wine. Havent had any problems and it hasnt hurt my weight loss. Even though this is a lifestyle change you cant give everything up 100%, you still need to enjoy life. -
I love to cruise in my Vette and go to car shows. I also like concerts and the beach:cool:

Willowglen replied to ciconetti's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded last August and many times it isnt even an option of me eating too much as I get full so quick and I know that if I overeat, I either fill very bad or need to make a trip to the bathroom:thumbup: -

Surviving Vacation - Cruise to Bermuda any suggestions?
Willowglen replied to ciconetti's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I went on a 7 day cruise at Christmas time and lost 6# for the week. You just need to be aware of what you eat and how much. Most ships also have a gym where you can workout dailey. -
I struggled for over two years going to several seminars and then was about to get married and realized I have to do this soon or I wont live as long. I did most of the testing prior to getting married and the surgery right after. I wish I had made my decision sooner
