Rethinking The Band

[JerseyShoreDisneyDiva 113]

5% of the peopl who loose major amounts of weight keep it off for good. That's a bad figure. Pre band I lost 100 pounds 3 times in my life and gained it all back.

How did you do after the band?

Before even pursuing the band I had lost about 50 pounds. I had a horrible knee problem that made it almost imposible to even do grocery shopping (I was 38!). As part of my preop diet (7 months) I lost another 50 pounds. I am two years post op and have lost another 70. Yes I am a slow looser for a bandster. I eat very conservatively and exercise 7 days a week (up to 2.5 hours of cardio). This is however the longest period of time in my life that I have continued a healthy lifestyle (eating and exercising) about 4 years.

It doesn't matter if you are a slow loser. You are a loser, how long it took you is irrelevant, as long as you are happy. Congratulations!
