annjones 3 Posted December 30, 2008 I've been belching like a sailor. It actually makes me laugh. I'm hoping it isn't a permanent thing, because yes it could get imbarrasing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Florida Pete 1 Posted December 30, 2008 Hi, I am impressed by your weight loss. i was banded on 12/04 just one day before you and have lost only 23 lbs so far. what is the magic my friend I have to say I chaulk my weightloss up to three things. First is a major change in my diet. I have cut soda completely out of my diet as well as changed over to mostly a low carb diet. Secondly is I started walking every single day for exercise. Before hand I really didn't exercise at all so this was a big change for me. Thirdly is one I don't talk about much but it really has to do with how much overweight I have been. Even after losing 68 lbs in the last year I still have more then half my body weight to lose. I am 417 lbs now and plan to get down to 195 lbs. That is a good weight for me since I am 6'-3" tall and even when I was my skinniest, end of basic training U.S. Army, I was still a large frame guy. So that's the secretes to my success. Hard work, dedication, and making the band work for me right out of the gate so to speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
