Hey hun, thanks for the picture comment. I weighed 430lbs before surgery and I weigh 270 right now. I still have quite the journey ahead of me. I have been banded for 18 months. Congrats on losing 55lbs thats great. My doc told me that you should be losing 1-2 lbs a week and you are right on target. Dont focus so much on the scale but rather losing inches, dropping sizes, etc. How many fills have you had?? and what exactly does your doctor say about everything. I know I hit a plateau for a while and I went in and had a fill and since then its been pretty fast. Try changing up your routine , such as different foods, etc. As far as the water, do you like crystal light? If so thats a great way to get water in. If I help support you in any way please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you. Keep up the great work.

Hey there, thanks for the compliment. I started off at 285 and am about 184 at the moment. I try and keep my calorie intake between 1000-1500 calories a day (i have a protein shake as a meal replacement for breakfast) and i was working out about 6 times a week, but now its down to about 5 since my weekends have become nutty. I try to mix it up with cardio and weights and work out for no less than an hour. I wrote a blog, so check it out on my page for more details.

Hi,
Sorry...been a long time since I've been on here. I have lost only 55lbs since surgery. I was 289 before surgery and am at 233 now. I am sort of disappointed because the Dr. tells me that, that is a little slow...but I also have to admit I haven't been following all the rules either. I just cannot find a protein that appeals to my taste buds....they all make me nauseaous (sorry for the misspelling). So, how are you now? Did you meet your goal yet? Do you have a lot of lose skin or any advise on how to keep it tight? Any advise on anything? I need all the help I can get. Not sure how to move this along. I work out at the Gym 3 times a week for an hour ... but I don't do protein drinks and don't drink much water.
