proud of myself...

[miznikkie08 23]

So proud of myself. Doctors appointment went fantastic yesterday. I'm down 12 pounds in one week. And my doctor says I am doing well enough to up my diet slowly. So tonight I practiced my new chewing tonight and ate even less food because I was fuller quicker..... first time ever I have stopped eating and went....hmm that's enough and been satisfied! Anyone else experience this? Tell me your proud moment since having the band. look forward to hearing your special moment.

i have several proud moments. but the one i enjoy most

is knowing i can NOW push my baby granddaughter around the block in her stroller..

I'm only on my 6th day so I don't really have any proud moments yet, but you said that you lost 12 lbs in a week... Exactly what week are you on after having the surgery?

Wow, 12 pounds, that's great! My proud moment was sitting in an airplane seat and not having to ask for the extender belt. My husband was like, wow, you must feel great! Keep up the great work!

I am the same as you. I am now one week one day post op. So as of my weigh in today I have lost 13.2 pounds. And yeah I know its early but I already have my proud moment. Because before I would have been back into the kitchen to eat 10x the amount of food I ate last night and I would have had a huge slice of the pie I baked my boyfriend. But after a bite of the pie filling I decided it wasn't worth it and it didn't taste good (to me....he loved it). Keep me posted about your weight loss

Oh my gosh I can't wait to take an airplane ride again....last time I was so big and cramped I felt like all my fat was rolling onto the passenger...needless to say I can't wait to fit.

My proud moment came when I went to my first appointment on April 4th and found out I lost 10 pounds. I did the happy dance on the scale and my husband just looked at me. ~Snicker~

How many days/weeks out are you? And not to worry I do the same thing when I see a weight loss haha.

I am at day 9 now. I had surgery on March 27th. I'm excited to see the weight come off like that. That is one of the motivating factors for me.

I've had so many but the two most recent have been seeing relatives that have not seen me. It had been years since I saw my husband's Aunt and she just said..."wow you look different!". Also, at the same gathering I saw his sister-in-law, who inspired me with her weight loss, and she said..."you look great, wow you really look great!" What a boost!

I'm pretty new to band( 2/19) but my proud moment came two days ago. I had been "stuck" at 236lbs and was waiting anxiously to see 235--- that number just became really important to me. So I got on the scale in the morning HOPING to see 235----- and it said 233!!!!( well, 233.8 but STILL!! Lol)

It went back up to 235 today but I don't care because it once said 233!!! That means I can do this!
