shellyj. 0 Posted December 17, 2005 hi everyone, just wanted to give a quick update on me and my band. anyhow i am 2 1/2 years post op and got as low as 207 last year at this time but that was a result of being to tight. my restriction hasnt been what it should be for over a year. i am not going to get a another fill till the begining of february after i have flown for the last time for a while. ( i have noticed my restriction REALLY gets tighter when i fly). currently i am a size 16/18. i am still sure once i can get restriction again i will get back to 207 maybe even my goal of 200 (size 14) when i was first banded i did a hardcore diet and lost weight SUPER quick, as soon as i got to tight and had to have a unfill i went a little crazy with food and i think its because i was restricting my intake so much before. now i just eat what i want, the amount i want and live with the choices i make. i eat healthy MOST of the time. i still log on fitday occasionaly. i can really ballpark it in my head though for the most part. heres a recent pic with my SWEET abuelos! the pic has my pre-ops, my lowest and me now. personal update: calvin and i are set to marry in july of 05. we just bought a FAB new house and are doing great! happy holidays to all!
