katerzz 4 Posted December 8, 2005 Well i figured id put an update up i dont have much time to visit the boards much anymore but im still here =D I am now down 91 pounds lighter from the day of my surgery April 11th, 2005. I wanted to hit 100 lbs by my one year date, and it looks like I'll be hitting it before the new year date cant really complain much!! Things seem to be going good havent had any wierd things going on, am going in for an MRI on my knee (obviously not band related) starting to notice huge difference in clothes etc. which sucks.. cuz a couple of u sent me very nice clothes and they are all to big now!! Once i get time Ill go through them and send them off to another bandster. Eating is good.. i slipped up for about a month and now im back on track I had actualy gained 5 lbs over thanksgiving.. but lost 20 lbs since then. Still not exercising havent since day one. I know I will need to and really should be.. but eh i just cant find the time and at this point im not sure i want to be loosing any faster than I am. (sounds crazy i know but i cant afford to have to buy smaller clothes) I am back to drinking Protein once or twice a day, i took a break for awhile i was sick of it but now im enjoying it esp. since i drink it like hot chocolate (well kinda warm chocolate) with just Water + choc Protein mix. I've noticed huge difference in energy and the scale since i started it back up. Dec. 1st i got a fill.. i got a real fill this time.. sorry i cant remember what im currently at haha but i will tell ya ive had to relearn some bandster business with this fill and its working out good i didnt realize how much i slipped up the last few months with eating not eating bad food.. just how much i could eat.. easily could eat an 8 inch sub with only eating the top piece of the bread (i have this weird thing were i take of the bottom piece of any sub sandwich and only eat a little bread and the meat + cheese) so anyway now im back down to eating half a cup or so and ill tell ya it feels good to be back on track i can only imagine how much id be down if i did actually exercise and hadnt slacked off.. but on the same note i am really glad its going slower than it could have because its hard to get used to all the changes.

It's me-Debbydo 0 Posted December 8, 2005 COngratulations and take a bow!! You are amazing and on an incredibly successful bandster journey. Great inspiration to stay with it mentally. Thanks I needed that lately. I lose and plateau for three weeks. I think the WL is directly tied to my cycle. Crazy. But on the off weeks I need help with the head stuff.

lildarlin 0 Posted December 9, 2005 That is great! Way to go! Can you give me ideas of foods that you eat and how much? I don't see much of what people eat on any of these boards and wonder. Keep up the great work, you are an inspiration. I'd love to be able to lose that much, when I get the band of course. (keeping fingers crossed I get approved). Thanks!

katerzz 4 Posted December 9, 2005 i really can eat whatever i want honestly i cant think of anything that i actually like that i wasnt able to eat so far granted after my last fill im taking it easy and not pressing any luck.. but the last 7 months ive been able to eat chicken, beef, Cereal, potatos (i like potatoes =D) honestly anything really lol the only difference is now i dont eat ALOT i only eat a serving there was a month there that we were going crazy had inlaws here and a bunch of stuff so we did eat fast food.. had no probs with that either i just eat ALOT less and usually skip most bread cuz i find it not worth the space it takes but i can still eat it i think the secret to my success is Protein drinks honestly =D i quit them for about 2 months and noticed a HUGE difference in my weight loss now im back to 2 a day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katerzz 4 Posted December 9, 2005 i usually drink a Protein Drink in the morning instead of eating.. and then again maybe a few hours before bed (which was recommended by my nutritionist to sleep better, and it works) plus curves the late night "im hungries" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
