autparhar 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Hi! Congratulations on your success this far. I was banded on Dec. 19th and so far have lost 20 lbs. I am feeling pretty good with a good bit of energy. I started at 258. I have not really set a goal weight, because I want to be able to consider any weight loss a success. But, yes I would love to weigh around 140, and I know that it could at obtainable if I keep heading in the right direction. So far, I have learned that it is all about lifestyle change and I am still working on making those changes. Some days are harder than others. I have struggled with exercise and getting in my Water. But I know that we can do this!!!!! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4erika 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Wow that's awsome that you've lost that much so fast. I was banded oct 8,2008 and I've lost 31 pounds. Im struggling with everyday temptations. I decided to join this site to hopefully help me get thru the hard times and maybe be able to make some online friends who know what Im going thru. I wish you all the best :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Marie 0 Posted January 21, 2009 I also got on this site for support when I think that i'm at a downfall! I was very surprised that I also lost that much weight so fast but now thank god it's going slow because I want it off for good and what actually helps out is that I work out everyday except fridays and saturdays! I go for a fill on the 28th of january but kind of nervous on how that actually works but I guess I'll just have to wait and see:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
autparhar 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Ms. Marie, Hi! I went in yesterday for my fill and I too was nervous. But, there was nothing to it. Actually, pulling the bandaid off hurt 10 times worse than the actual needle. Just barely felt it which is a good thing. They tried to locate it with me laying down, but was having trouble so I had to sit up while they done it which was a liitle awkward. I had actually lost 22 lbs. and they said that I was doing great. I am so glad that I made the decision to have this done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Marie 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Oh ok. I can i guess I can deal with the band-aid part hurting!lol I was scheduled for today but they rescheduled me for the 28th but I wish it was for today because I can tell that I am eating a little more than usual! I hate that so now I work out even more because I am so scared of gaining what I accomplished! Thanks for letting me know what you went through during your fill it made me feel better and not so scared and nervous anymore:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
