May 21st so 8 weeks yesterday.

I eat very healthy, I'm a vegetarian also. I average about 1100 calories a day (about 50 grams of Protein a day).

I've lost 19 pounds total, only 13 since surgery. Have had one fill that didn't do much.

All that said, I started with a lower bmi (35).

I walk everyday for 30 to 40 minutes.

I am very glad I had the surgery.

I had my surgery in May. I have to say that the best thing about the past two months has not been trying to lose weight - I have just been adjusting slowly to having this band and eating slowly and consciously.

The best thing has been living my life - going to parties, tasting what I want to taste, even going to McDonald's and knowing that I am not going to eat an entire meal. I have a few bites and I am done! It is a miracle to me and I am just enjoying being where I am right now. Not trying to be a model tomorrow. My blood pressure is going down, my largest clothes are donated ... I am just enjoying every today. This was my goal.

But, the best part. Today I hopped on the scale after 3 weeks. I thought, seriously, I had been on vacation, then under stress, and was eating whatever I wanted ... fully expected to see a gain since surgery. Instead I saw a loss of 6 pounds since 3 weeks ago. And, let me tell you, I weighed myself clothed and at 7pm, after dinner.

I am beyond thrilled. Thrilled. Thrilled !!!! Did I tell you how happy I am to have made this decision?

What was the date of your surgery? - 4/8/10

How healthy did you/do you eat? - Before surgery, I ate pretty well, just too much. I also ate too much ice cream. Now I'm eating mainly Protein, but if I want a treat, I'll have one, just a very tiny amount

How much do you exercise? -I just started exercising a few weeks ago. I'm doing 5-6 days week alternating between all cardio and cardio plus weights. On all cardio days, I get about an hour in and on other days maybe 15-20 mins of cardio and at least 30 mins of weights.

How much have you lost? - 65 lbs and nothing pre-op

Are you happy with your results? - Very happy!

How healthy did you/do you eat? Always ate quality food, but carb rich dense European foods such as Sheppard's pie and the like. Now, it's better, but not great yet. I can't get the carbs in so by definition the foods are better but it's disorganized eating.

How much do you exercise? I've always been an active person, but I don't have a "plan" in place at the gym yet, my surgeon stresses the importance of finding good restriction and making small changes working my way up to an exercise plan

How much have you lost? 33 pounds officially

Are you happy with your results? Yes, although I sometimes think I'm losing slowly I have to keep reminding myself that slow and steady wins the race and keeps it off for good. There is a lot less stress in the pounds I have lost meaning that I know they are gone for good and aren't coming back!

Would I do this over again? At this point, yes, because everything else I have done has failed, so while this is hard anything worth doing is right? :biggrin:

Hugs,

Heather
