[sweetbean70 2]

surgery date: 6/8/09

weight loss: 87 pounds (as of 7/16/09)

exercise: walking 2 miles, 4x per week (under 30 minutes) + resistance bands

past diet: ate fairly healthy, just way toooooo much

current diet: 2 small meals per day, 60+ grams of Protein (protein bar/20g, Protein shake/20g, + low fat meat, cheese, eggs/20g)

I absolutely love my band! I have gone from a tight 28W to a comfy 18W. I must admit that I have become addicted to all of the compliments I've been getting. I can't wait to return to school (I'm a teacher.) to see what my colleagues and the students have to say. :tt2:

How healthy did you/do you eat? Ate a lot of fast food and lots of Pasta, now I am on track to eating healthier with occasional eating out. Use My Fitness Pal to track my calories and workouts which works great.

How much do you exercise? Try to workout 3 times a week which is walking 25 to 40 min, doing some machine workouts but haven't been consistent due to various reasons.

How much have you lost? 56 lbs (includes 3 week pre op diet before surgery). Lost 31 lbs since surgery.

Are you happy with your results? Yes. Although for me it has been more the mindset of deciding to have the surgery was when I made the decision to make a change. I have some restriction (only 1 fill of .5cc) but eat healthy low carb/high Protein. Took one week off the first week of July and ate out regularly and only exercised once. Came back .8 lbs from when I left and got back on track and lost 10lbs.:biggrin:

How healthy did you/do you eat? I eat healthy overall. I am a vegetarian and focus on Protein from Beans, soy, nuts, etc. I do eat healthy, complex carbs and don't believe in the "no carb" thing...couldn't really do that as a vegetarian anyway. I will treat myself sometimes...especially with wine!

How much do you exercise? I recently joined Curves and really like it and have been doing that 4x a week. I also do a lot of yard work and gardening.

How much have you lost? 47 pounds including a two-week pre-op diet.

Are you happy with your results? Absolutely! Other than marrying my husband (today is our 4th anniversary!) it's the best decision I've ever made.

Banded 6/18/2009

My diet was terrible before surgery. Fast food everyday. I eat much healthier now, but not perfect. High Protein, sugar free almost everything, low carb diet (some carbs)

I go out dancing for exercise once a week. I walk stairs sometimes instead of elevator.

I've had 3 fills and I've lost 88lbs with the band 96 total from my highest weight.

I'm very happy so far, but I still have about 60lbs to lose.
