What was the date of your surgery? July 16, 2009 (Today!!!)
How healthy did you/do you eat? I attempted to eat healthy in the past although, unsuccessful at times. Now, with the band I may treat myself every now and then but my meals are planned and focus on Proteins first... not the cookie or cake first.:sad:
How much do you exercise? When I was first banded I exercised at least 5 times a week. I must admit I have slacked off a bit but I'm trying to get back on track.
How much have you lost? To date I have lost 65 lbs!!!
Are you happy with your results? I am extremely happy with my results thus far.
Good luck to you!!!!

I am so excited today (7/16) to have completed my first year with Chrissy (my band).:sad: It has not been all peaches and cream but with anything you have to make changes. The band has required me to change what I eat, how much and the importance of exercise. When I have done all of those things consistently--- I have lost weight.
I'm plateau now and trying to lose an additional 20 lbs. But to be honest I'm so happy with my accomplishments thus far, losing the additional lbs are not priority but it will be a bonus. To date I have lost 65 lbs which is more than 65% of my excess weight. I have dropped from a size 18/20 to now 10/12. I FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF!!!
Good luck to everyone!!!!

Ok, count me in! I hope to lose 15 lbs. I have been off track for the past 3 months so I really need something to "get me in order"...
-
I can remember that discomfort as if it was yesterday... The only thing that helped me was time. I had to wait it out. I tried the gas-x strips and did a lot of burping. It will get better!!!

Hello All,
I missed my Easter goal by 2 lbs however, I'm only 7 lbs away from my goal weight of 165!!!

Lipo and/or a Tummy Tuck. My stomach has gone down a great deal but now it's becoming flabby...:thumbup:
Teaching is not a highly paid profession... so I need to take out my collection cup!!! :thumbup:
-
are the hardest to get off! I have been stuck at the same weight (178 lbs) for a month. I don't know what to do. I still have good restriction and I do a lot of walking everyday. UGH...the scale is not moving. What should I do??
-
I'm 3 lbs away from my goal..... Will I make my goal of 175?:thumbup: I am really pushing myself this week....

Hello...
I am so excited about my new body. I have lost 62 lbs and I am 8 lbs away from my goal. I am actually deciding now if I will change that goal. Most likely I will...
I had to learn when to stop eating to avoid getting sick. That was difficult at first but I now know when to stop! I have felt consistent restriction since December so I'm happy to be a my "sweet spot." However, my weight fluctuates from week to week. Overall, I am extremely happy with my progress & I'm determined to be at my 170 lb goal by next month!
The first picture I was at 240 lbs and the 2nd is at my current weight of 178.
Good luck everyone!!! We are 4 months away from our 1 year anniversary....:wink2:

Having the surgery was the best thing I have done for myself! Chrissy (my lap band) has helped to become healthier, self-confident and excited about life.....
Good luck to everyone as you meet your inner person!!!
The first picture I weighed between 230-240 and the second picture, which is current, I am weighing 182! I should take a picture with the same shirt... wow it will probably swallow me.... LOL
-
Ok, I've added myself to the spreadsheet...
12 more pounds to go!:thumbup:

I was able to lose an additional 2 lbs ths week. I didn't make my goal but I was only 3 lbs away....
On to my next challenge!
-
Hello...
I am looking forward to this challenge. My goal is to lose 10 lbs.... That will bring me close to my 3rd goal although I will probably add another goal. I'm still trying to figure out a healthy BMI for my height and body structure....
Good luck!!!
-
Aw... Alien I'm sorry to hear that! How & when did you become aware of the band erosion?
I would like to join the weightloss challenge.
Current weight 185
Goal 170
I would like to lose 15 lbs during the challenge!!!
Good luck to everyone!
-
I have really enjoyed this challenge. I did not meet my goal of 180 (missed it by 5 lbs) but I did lose 12 lbs in about 8 weeks.
I am pleased with the weightloss and look forward to the next challenge....Good luck!!!
-
Thank you!!! My current goal is 170 and now I'm 20 lbs away. It seems as though I'm losing 1 lb per week but I would like to increase that to 1.5-2 lbs. I barely eat anything now so I must need to increase my exercise routine. How much are you losing per week?
But for now I will be happy with the progress I have made.....
-
I have just reached my 2nd goal of 190. Now, I'm 50 lbs lighter!!!! This feeling brings about such excitement.
I am definitely looking forward to becoming healthier and smaller :w00t: in 2010. YEAH....Good luck to us all!!!!!!
