Started at 330 lbs Nov 2009 due to a Dr. office error I was told I needed to loose 30 lbs before surgery. Lost 30 lbs in 25 days on Protein shakes. Banded on Dec 17th 2009 at 300 lbs March 31 I am at 266 lbs in 15 weeks I am down 64 lbs from banding alone. I have only been filled 1 time (3cc) I will be going for my second fill next week. I feel my quantity of food has increased so I feel I need more restriction. I have only worked out 1 or 2 times a week. I even had a 2 week vacation in there that I gained a few lbs and have lost it already. I have lost so much weight so many times by killing my self at the gym, this time it is coming of with just smart food choices and the help of the band. Once I hit my plateau from band only I will add in more cardio and weights. My goal is 195 lbs. I am looking to start P90X once I get more weight off, another huge limitation is my back problems, though 64 lbs has helped there are days that it takes hours to get the soreness and stiffness out.

I read so many stories of people who are struggling even after being banded my sympathy goes out to you. I was never a bad food eater "ie" high in carbs and fat, don't get me wrong I did have Micky D's once in a while. I would alway eat huge quantities, regardless if it were salad or fish or steak and pizza it would be a portion to serve 4 or 5 people. Now I have no food limitations I just eat for 1 person or less.

Good Luck To All Banded

I had surgery 4 weeks ago today and am down 11 pounds since.

Adding that to the 95 I lost leading up to surgery, I'm down 106.

Great news everyone, I feel so motivated reading your success stories... I was banded 12/11/2009 and so far lost 74 lbs .. still got a long way to go. but at least it's still coming off. about 3 lbs per week .. plus I'm swimming 3-4 times week also which I'm sure helps...
