6 months out and...



Recommended Posts

I feel great!!!

I hit my 6 month mark yesterday, I had an appt with my Dr Monday and found out that I have lost 39% of my excess body and my BMI is under 40 (38). I have lost 67 pounds. I have have dropped 2 clothing sizes and I will dry my clothes now. Never would have done that 6 months ago. Have meet some wonderful friends here on the LBT which offers great support. I have a new best friend...my band!

Things I still need to work on...exercise more. Chew my food...I still eat in a rush sometimes and can get caught. I am sure there are more but I am still so happy about my where my life is headed I just had to share.

Any others 6 monthers out there?? How are you doing?

Congratulations on your success! I am a 6 month bandster too. I wa doing awesome but about a month ago I went and had an unfill because I wasn't able to eat anything but the things I shouldn't eat. Now, I can't even tell I have the band because they took too much out. Oh well, better to go slow than be overly aggressive and end up losing my band.

I see you had an unfill too. I know it's a hard decision to make, but after reading the wonderful advice about how being too tight can be more harmful than helpful, I know I made the right choice.

Good job and good luck for the next 6 months!!!
