160lbs for me today. That (160lbs)was my inital goal but now I think I want to lose another 5lbs. I'm loving my band!

Hi Crimson & welcome! You and I share the same WLS date. Your doing awesome, congratulations! :wink2:

It's the greatest feeling to walk into a store with my 13 year old daughter and be able to buy trendy clothes at the same place. I'm ditching the "specialty" stores forever! My husband doesn't appreciate my new found love of shopping though. LOL! I was 18/20, now wear 9/10!!!

167lbs for me this morning. I only lost a pound this entire month. On the bright side... I didn't gain. I'm only 12lbs from goal 8 months out! How GREAT is that!

I'm down 3lbs since my last post on 10/30. Coming in at 168lbs, 13lbs more lbs to go to be at goal. I give thanks everyday that I was blessed with a great family and the BAND.

171lbs for me this morning. Went in for a slight unfill this afternoon, was at 6.6cc now 6.3cc. Now that the weather has gotten cooler seems like my band has gotten tighter. I was only able to consume 1/4c of food per meal, and had the stuck feeling all the time. Just had dinner and the tiny unfill seems to have worked. Hope I don't start to gain - SELF CONTROL!

172lbs for me this beautiful Friday afternoon! Life is GREAT! :closedeyes:

I have BCBS IL and had to go through the 6 months also. Once my Dr. & I got everything required by ins. I was approved within a week, scheduled for surgery within 2wks. I had no out of pocket expenses other than co-pays. So the wait for me paid off itself! Its true six months does go by fast! Those six months help me prepare for the life changing experiences that I would be facing. Like many of us, I'm sure you have been over for quite some time now. What’s another six months??

When the hubby and I go out eat I never order a plate of food for myself. I always order an extra plate and share. Restaurants always serve big portions anyway. Doesn't make since to spend all that $ on food when I'd rather go shopping for a smaller pair of jeans with that $!

Since my weight loss I have noticed a major decrease in my libido. I do not initiate it myself, if hubby does then fine. But it’s not on the top of my list of things to do. My doctor says the body goes into shock with major weight loss and that everyone’s body reacts differently. I lost me some libido and hair.

176 lbs for me this week. It's also my TOM and I’m eating a little more sweets than I should. Not to mention Halloween is right around the corner and candy is all over the office. The Holidays will be rough for sure!

Came in at 177lbs today. I have 6.6cc in a 10cc band w/5 fills - My sweet spot for sure! Life is Good!

I'm happy to report 182lbs
