It took me a year to figure this out...

That there was such a thing as monthly bandsters.

I had my surgery July 3, '08 and have lost only 30 lbs. Alot of it was due to me not excercising and eating some of the wrong foods, but I can say that I didnt gain anything!

Im back on track now and just found my fellow 7/08 bandsters. I look forward to sharing with everyone.

My startine weight was 201lbs, I lost 12 lbs the first month.

Now Im at 170 and think Ive hit a set point that my body doesnt wasnt to stray from...but I will overcome it, I did the other 2 set point's! I just think its harder to lose weight when you have less to lose. Im only 5'0" tall. I should weigh in the range of 100 to 115 lbs. Im shooting for 110, but I think Ill see how I feel and look the closer I get to my goal, it might be too little.

SO if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate and welcome it.

That sounds great to me Laura, you seem to be the one I was looking for to be my lap-band buddy! I kept wondering if there were any other shorties like me in the forum's....
