sixty pounds in a year?

that is fabulous

My surgon told me it takes about two years for most to loose all their excess weight. This second part of the jouney, where the body starts fighting you is the hardest part.

You got to work out religously

keep track of your portions and what you are eating

and make sure you hydrate get in those 64 oz. of Water or other low cal water baised drink daily.

You are awosme and you will get to goal.

I'm aobut 1/2 way thru my jouney too,

I've lost about sixty with the band after placement 17lbs preop for a total of around 74lbs. gone.

I have aproximately another eighty to go till i reach my goal. I'm giving myself another year to get there. My doctor says some bodies go into a resting phase cuz rapid weightloss leads to dramatic skin sagg wich is not good.

Take this time to maybe do a massive closet overhaul? Go window shopping at some regular sized clothes to prepare yourself for the new clothes you might want to puchase after you hit your goal.

My husband actually encourages me to go into some of the smaller sized dress shops and start trying on clothes just to get use to how regular cothes feel. It is actually very encouraging to get a pair of regular sized slacks on and have them almost fit. Because i can say to myself ok i'll come back in three months or 30 more pounds down and see what happens.

You are doing amazing keep me posted.

Thanks guys, I am happy about it. I'm about 15 pounds heavier than where I wanted to be but I'll keep going. Also I haven't had a fill since June, I go in tomorrow so I'm excited:)

Happy Bandaversary! My surgery date is set for 12/12/12. I'm excited and nervous. But mostly excited. I'm doing all my doctor's visits and I actually attended a post-op support group meeting. It was great. I've started cutting smaller pieces of food and I'm practicing chewing each bite 30-40 times.

If I lose 60 pounds in one year - l will be ecstatic!

Way to go. Keep up the great work.

Awesome! Yeah, your life will change. Everything is based off choices. It's a challenge at first but you'll get used to it fast. I'm not complaining about the 60, I just missed my personal goal.
