i've lost 114 pounds. another 40 and i get my pannus removed.

I feel so guilty. I guess nothing to do but get back o track tomorrow.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is incredible!! How full is your band? How much do you eat at meals?

Hi All, September ------> weighed 420 Banded in December-> weighed 385 Current weight ------> 330 Based on my stats, am I on track? I admit to having no exercise program other than having a very physical job. I know I have to exercise but it's hard. Thanks!!

Wow, thanks for all of the encouragement. I find that when I count calories, I have an easier time with dropping weight. I've begun to use a cool app on my itouch and it's actually fun!! Also, I'm proud that I can sit down and remember EVERYTHING I ate in one day, down to coffee and mustard...

Hi All, My surgery date of 9/21/09 has been postponed. My initial consultation was in July and the surgeon told me to lose 40 pounds. Two weeks later my husband had a heart attack (hospitalized for 8 days) and I coped the only way I really knew how.... I gained 10 pounds. So, fast forward to 9/7/09, when I started Optifast in prep (2 wks) for surgery...I completed 10 days of the liquied diet and lost 14 #s...but only 4, according to the dr due to the 10 pound weight gain. So, I've been out off until 10/20/09 so I can lose 30 more pounds. I'm glad the surgeon is being firm but I also feel depressed about it. My husband is fine, btw, and I feel less stressed now. So, I guess I continue to diet and now I will also exercise. Please, say something nice to me. I haven't cried yet but I'm kinda close to it...

thanks for all the kind words. i'll try hard to keep my chin up and my diet on - track.
