Wow amazing results. I was banded 10/09 as well....I'm 49 pounds down :-)

I had a problem with thinning hair as well....what's helping me is Biotin, increasing my protein and I massage Castor oil on my sides and it started growing back. Good luck

Congrats, I know the feeling. It's been awhile since I loved shopping as well, I went from 20 to 16 and I can actually enjoy trying on clothes :-)

I can feel my port. I'm down 36 pounds. It doesn't stick out too much

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'm definitely a slave to my scale. I weigh myself every morning and night. I will be putting it away for a month. I have a trainer, so I do a different body part everyday. Inches I'm losing, I guess I equate weightloss with pounds instead of inches. A normal day for me is a Special K protein shake for breakfast, Speacial K cereal bar for a snack, Smart Ones for Lunch, snacks is either fat free pringles, fruit, wheat thins and laughing cow cheese. I work alot and somethings dinner isn't an option for me, but if I do have dinner salad, cereal or smart ones.

Congrats, we're in the same boat.

I live in Queens but I border Long Island and I've had a lot of the same problems. I tend to stick to Olive Gardens for soup and salads, in the city I've had Carmine's and Sofritos. Another piece of advice, I don't go anyway where I can't look up the menu online before I go. Good Luck

I began my weightloss journey at 250 and I lost 36 pounds since my surgery on 10/7/2009. I am so discouraged. I have 4cc in a 10cc band. I feel like I'm stick at 214 pounds, but I ccan admit that I am going down in dress sizes, all my clothes are baggy and loose. I went from a 20 to a 16.....I know that's good, but I wish the scale wiould show my achievements. Yes, I go to the gym 5x week and I just got a fill giving 4cc 4/1/2010 and it is definitely helping, I'm actually starting to feel restriction. any advice

I love Muscle Milk light

sugar free puddings, protein shakes, soups, water, movies and pillows
