December Bandsters!

[keepIToff 6]

Down over 60lbs since my last weigh in before starting the pre-op diet. I look back and don't think I could have imagined getting to this point. The worst part of all this is trying to keep my wardrobe together...for all the good reasons.

Anyone just getting started in this adventure good luck. Don't be too discouraged by what you see on these forums about problems people are having. Just remember people like me that are not having issues don't really feel a need to come here and post. Understanding the process and how the band works is the most important thing. Any questions I had from reading here I wrote down and had them clarified by my doctor, which really helped.

I would like to loose another 50lbs, and the way things are going I think it is a obtainable goal.

My weight loss has really picked up recently. I lost 17lbs in 7 weeks, I just got another fill last week and I LOVE where I'm at with my restriction. I can eat about 1/2 cup and I'm satisfied. My body plateaus for about 10 days after a fill, then I start dropping weight, and as of this morning, just saw the scale move downward again. I am down to a size 16 (from a 22) and feeling amazing. Having this new, slimmer body is also helping now that I'm just finally starting to date again. I have so much more confidence and LOVE life. I may not be a fast loser, but I do see the weight coming off, and thats what keeps me motivated.!

Congrats on the success, that's a big change in sizes.

Hey all. Just wondering how you all are doing with restriction and how many calories you eat daily. I eat between 1200 and 1500 calories depending on my exercise for the day.

I could probably go for another fill but there are says when all I have all day is Protein Shakes because I get stuck on everything. Other days I can eat anything I want. I really canyon decide on another fill now or wait.

I have lost 80 lbs so far.
