We Need to Get Ourselves in Check...Me Included!

Hang in there! I think each of us is gonna lose at our own rate. I weighed 386 pounds at the first visit with my surgeon on August 21st, started pre-op diet on Oct 5th, had dropped to 373 at time of 2nd appointment with my surgeon on Oct. 9th after all the pre-op tests had been completed, had the surgery on Oct. 27th. I was down to 327 at the first post surgical follow up on November 3rd. Next follow up in December I had dropped to 307. In January the loss slowed dropping only to 303 at this time a 1cc fill was done. In February I only lost 2 pounds to 301 and a 2cc fill was done. March brought the biggest surprise to date I had dropped to 284 pounds and am still dropping. In 7 months I have dropped 102 pounds. I was banded by Dr. Bridget Brady with Southwest Bariatric in Austin, Texas.

A little information I left out of my earlier post, I have 3cc's of fills in a 10cc band. I have three goals set for my weight loss the first of which I've met;

Goal # 1 get to under 300 pounds

Goal # 2 get BMI under 40

Goal # 3 get to 200 pounds or less.
