I don't have an answer for you. I know exactly where you are coming from. My daughter is your age. She had gastric bypass and looks fabulous. She hates her wedding pictures.
That being said, you have quite a bit of time left if you schedule the wedding at the end of summer. Maybe the wedding will be a good incentive for you to buckle down and gather all the willpower you need to lose as much as you can before the wedding.
The problem with the band is that you can eat around it. You can figure out which foods go down easily, and are junky. My problem is chocolate.
If you eat right, and don't let the junk food in, you have a good chance of losing well if you exercise regularly. A friend of mine got to goal in a year, doing 2 protein shakes a day and dinner. She did an hour of hard cardio every day though. She lost over 100 lbs.
I am going to go back through this thread and try to find any of your other posts, to see how you have been losing so far. Keeping up with fills is extremely important too. |
