Banded 3/20/07 Down 60 pounds :)

[TRANAM1955 1]

HI Folks,

I have not posted in a while but wanted to update everyone on my progress. I am loosing slower than some but am pleased with my weight loss of 60 pounds in 9 months. I also quit smoking on May 5th, and am still smoke free, too!!!!

I have only had 2 fills. My stoma is a little sensitive to eating any food early in the day and lunch is a hit and miss. I do not eat meat very often, but do get plentry of Protein with nuts and cheese. I eat more comfortably at night. Stress is the #1 factor in how my lap band works on a daily basis. When stressed, it is difficult to eat anything other than Soup, but then again, I try to eat what is nourishing to my body and what satisfies me.

So, as far as I am concerned.....I would go to Dr. Kuri in Tjuana tomorrow in a heartbeat to have this procedure done again and am so grateful to not be weighing 258 pounds this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

Trana, that is Soooo good to hear! Congratulations! I have always been a slow loser, and while I only have 60 lbs left to lose, I know it will take me 9 months or more. That is ok, 'cuz I know it isn't coming back - I can't eat nearly as much as I could pre-band. So glad to hear of your success. :clap2:

Trana, I see you get fills in Chattanooga....I lived in Rossville, Ga for awhile and loved it - you actually have seasons! In Austin, there are 2 seasons....hot hot summer and a springy fall with a little ice thrown in once in awhile.

Actually, you don't seem to be a slow loser to me, I was banded march 5 and have only lost 42lbs since then. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have them gone, but it would be nice to have 60lbs gone!!!!!
