AmineR8705 140 Posted September 27, 2013 Hey Everyone!! I haven't posted in awhile and I thought I would drop in and post something to let people know how everything is going!! Its been a long 7 months since my surgery and I can sit here and say its went by fast and feels like I have been banded for much longer than that. It has been nothing but positive results since I started my journey back in May and I'm continuing to be successful each day, week and month at a time. I'm currently sitting at 81.5 pounds lost since my highest recorded weight of 344 pounds in March of 2013 and about 65 pounds of it has been since surgery!! Its beyond words of all the accomplishments and goals I have met in the past 7 months and the hard work has paid off and will continue to pay off in the future. I have stuck to my doctors guidlelines since I have been banded and have done everything in my power to eat the right things and not fall of course. A lot of things have opened in up my life in the past 7 months and there are things that I couldn't do in the past few years that I can do now with no issues now that I have changed my lifestyle of eating and getting healthy. Its so much motivation for me and inspiration to others around me to take care of themselves and show them nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. I haven't had any band related issues other than I had a few episodes of getting stuck. I have vomited only once since I have had my band from getting a stomach virus a few months but it wasn't as bad as getting the flu. For anyone that follows me on here, I have a dedicated YouTube channel that I track my progress weekly and for anyone that want's to see the transformation from when I first started my journey to present day check it out!!
