6 Month BANDiversary Update

[sweetbean70 2]

Hello! I began my "new" life exactly six months ago today. I was banded on 6/8/09 by Dr. Curry in Cincinnati, OH.

As of this morning, I have lost a total of 70lbs and 44 inches. I was stunned when I looked down at the scale and saw that I had lost so much weight! I had to double-check the accuracy of my scale, so I weighed an unopened 5lb bag of flour. My scale was "right on the money."

I have gone from a snug size 28 to a loose size 22 in pants and a XXXL to an XL in tops. I have gone from a 44D to a 40DD (strange, I know to go UP a bra size). Even my shoes are fitting looser!

I want to thank my very supportive hubby, my wonderful parents, my best friend (had her surgery 3 weeks after mine), and Dr. Curry/Staff. Without this wonderful support network, this metamorphosis wouldn't have been impossible.:thumbup:

I don't have a "strict" diet in that I still everything in moderation, but small amounts. In general I eat eggs for breakfast(used to be 2, but I'm down to one now), for lunch I'll have Soup or tuna or leftover Protein from dinner, for dinner I have chicken or turkey and some veg maybe a little starch if I can. If I need a snack at some point of the day I'll eat a string cheese or greek yogurt. If you stick with good Portion Control and avoid sliders you will loose. It's OK to eat when you're hungry, just make good choices. I hope you get restriction early in your fills- I just did the last few months. Good luck!!
