When I read peoples weight loss, I always feel a twinge of jealousy. I know that everyone has their own journey, and that it is mixed with such Joy for everyone - I just want to be able to jump up and down for me too!

A day at a time.

and suddenly it's 2 weeks since my band.

and I am thankful for feeling so well.

btw, I don't want to get on a scale yet -

not till my first fill.

Happy 4th!

Let me clarify.

October 2005...diagnosed with diabetes...weighed 287 lbs..dieted...lost 13 lbs

February went to Lapband seminar

3 weeks before surgery went on 500 cal/day liquid Protein diet

March 14, 2006 had surgery...weighed 257 lbs

I haven't lost 60 lbs in 3 months...I've lost 60 lbs since my journey began last October.

As far as eating plan...I do what my doc told me...eat what you like. He doesn't give you a plan. I try to get in Protein first like everyone else, then veggies. I don't count anything. I do take a very good liquid Vitamin supplement.

Some days I feel very little restriction...other days like yesterday....I have a bunch of restriction.

Thanks for all the congrats from everyone...you're all the best!
