100 lbs.!

[mylapspirit 2]

I have over 200 pounds to lose but this week I made it to 102 pound weight loss. I am about four and one half months out of surgery. The experience has been one of the best of my life!

Mary,

The top 3 things would be:

1) Stick to the different food Phases as close as you can - the first three months are the hardest.

2) I have kept a food Diary from Day 1. This has kept me very honest with myself. I even kept it on Thanksgiving Day. (This never worked for me when I tried Weight Watchers but with the band it has been very successful for me.)

3) Attend your support meetings regularly and develop a good repoire with your doctor/surgeon. Be honest with him or her. Be honest with yourself. Set realistic goals for yourself.

I hope these help. If I can help you in any way in your journey please write me.

Regards,

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing and for being an inspiration. I am kinda on the fence, leaning more towards doing it esp. after reading your sucess and knowing that it is possible!! I have 200 plus to loose, so the road seems really long.

Hey KC. my brother and sister-in-law lives in Olathe. I got banded on 5/13/08 and am trying to talk him into getting banded. He is supposed to come out here fir the 4th of July. I hope I have lost enough that he will be able to tell and then maybe... good luck with your journey
