pc15 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Hello all, I am a Forum Rookie - I am 6' 385 max weight, at 370 now. Prepping for a Dec 18th date with destiny. I am a self pay - so you know I am pretty serious about this. Not sure what else to say, but looking foward to going forward. Not sure I need encouragement - not right now anyway, my four year old boy is providing plenty of that. Could use a scouting report of what too expect....especially the first few days post-op. My goal is 125 lbs by my 25th high school reunion - 2011. Doable? pc15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WASaBubbleButt 41 Posted November 12, 2007 If you want thin and healthy bad enough, you'll reach any goal you want. The band offers an amazing opportunity. Traditional diet and exercise were too hard for me. Some can take it off but they can't keep it off. I couldn't even get more than a few pounds off. While the band is hard, very very hard... it's different. It's the kind of hard WE can do, OUR population, those with eating disorders. WE can do this kind of hard, traditional diet and exercise are the kinds of hard most of us can't do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue Magoo 71 Posted November 12, 2007 Pc15: As you can see by looking at Wasabubblebutt's ticker, she lost 103 pounds in only 10 months. I've lost 81 in less than 7 months, and I feel great. Good luck, and plan to exercise too. The band doesn't work alone we have to work with it. Take care. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
