My story 1yr and 3 months later

[lovebug_0766 38]

I had my surgery Nov 2013. I weighed 353 pounds. I had no idea how big I really was. I was in denial. I finally made the choice to be a better me. I have lost over a 100lbs. It's has taken me blood sweat and tears. I would do it over again. I still have 47 more pounds till my goal weight.

Congratulations - that is great - I had my lap-band on May 30, 2014 - 9 months ago - I did very well at first and lost 65 lbs - I started at 267 - Then we moved into an assisted living situation where we have three meals a day - I am no longer "captain of my own ship" and try as I may - I have started to gain a little. We are changing our living conditions and again moving back into our own apartment and I will be doing all our cooking again - I can't wait - I am just hoping that I can get back into the motivated groove again - I so want to lose the rest of the weight!! Did you hit bad spots like this?
