Ice_Prince 4 Posted May 14, 2010 Thank you all for the kind words. Reading your posts really made my day, to see that we are all here for each other on this journey to healthy living. Some tips I have to get that weight off that works for me. It has been hard to keep going to that gym but I go 5 times a week sometimes twice a day. I really don't eat out as much. I make my own meals at home. Every now and then once a week I give myself a treat. Like if I want slice of pizza Ill have it but I tell myself its easy to put it on, but it is hard as hell to get it off. The band really gets me full quick I think I have like 5.7cc in my band. I don't drink soda at all and fried foods are no longer my friend. I tried to eat a piece of fried fish and it made me feel funny like I just felt the grease going down. I quickly put it down and told myself I'm staying away from that LOL. Don't get me wrong I eat and I am satisfied with the portion I eat. I am just more aware of what I put in my mouth. If you have any questions about my workout or my diet or even just about my journey feel free to hit me up. To next time Band Family. Luv Ya all Jon:wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

misscristie 0 Posted May 16, 2010 Wow, Jon!! That is amazing! I was just banded by Dr. Felts on Friday, he's great isn't he? I'm interested in what kind of workouts you're doing. How soon were you able to start working out after your surgery? I'm itching to get up and get moving, but I know it's too soon. Plus, I hurt! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted May 16, 2010 amazing job! Keep up the good work! I was banded in Oct 2009. You have me beat, but I am clogging along. I have been on vacation for 2 weeks. I bought a pair of slacks befoe I left, they are big on me already! I don't have a scale, but seem to be down about 5 more pounds, for a total of 45 since surgery.
