hi all
can u believe it december!!!!2 years since i was banded,

firstly jill massive congrats on your baby i feel so bad im only finding out now but at least by now you probably in some kind of routine and xmas should be fun xx

well quick update on me 2 years on
starting weight 270 pounds ..banded on dec 18 06
lowest weight.........126 pounds (i looked like shit)
my new weight .......147 ....pissed off want to get back to 140...my tummy tuck jeans (nydj )dont fit anymore...lol
going to need actual tummy tuck to get ass back into them..lol

i had band fixed (after slip ) and i can and have eaten like a piggy at times but meals are usually still fairly small it the chocolate and biscuits i need restricting from

but i do have some restriction though no fill and i dont like my doc he from public hospital and i think he soooooo pissed off i went off had it private then crawled to his door to get fixed !!!( my clinic went bankrupt ) i just hope he gets over it ,he quite snappy at times about his role which he seems to think is to keep me well but not to offer a service to help me lose weight so unless i gain a ton of weight i doubt im getting a fill but see him in april again

.hope he doesnt notice my new boobs

,im off to belgium tomorow for implants ,i hope!!!!1 im loaded with heavy cold so not sure im going to be ok to have them done.

really need tummy tuck but baby too small yet he 8 months i think he needs to get on his feet before i could cope with him and my recovery.

well girlies thats my bit let me know where you all are now 2 years on ......i know we all got on with our lives but even a yearly update be sooooooo good to hear i love you all and wish all the best things in life for you ...MERRY CHRISTMAS xxx

Hey Niki and everyone else!! Great time to check in and see how everyone is doing now that we are 2 yrs out! Hard to believe it's been that long!! Unfortuanately I have not been as successful w/the band as I thought I would be...but I am still down 50 pounds from my highest weight and have been maintaining there. I know the ownus is on me to just get myself on track....and that I can keep doing and get to goal, eventually! But as they say..the slower it comes off the longer it stays off right? I hope by next years anniversary to say that I've finally made it under the 200 mark once and for all.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Just checking in! I made my original goal as of this morning and I bumped it back ten more pounds. I figure at this point the band has got me pretty far and I want to go further. I have excellent restriction as long as I am extremely careful about measuring my food and following the rules to a 'T'. I am meeting with a trainer tomorrow to learn about free weights and to design a circuit training type of workout to really build up muscle tone. I look a bit flabby and that has to GO! LOL. I figure I will take it in 10 pound increments. Lose the next ten then see where I want to go from there. A personal best would be 160 (I am 5'11") but I am not going to beat myself up over it, kwim? So that is what is up with me! How are y'all??

Wow! Amazing loss to date! 75 lbs in only 3 months! That's 25 lbs a month! That's averaging what, 5-6 lbs a week? WOW!

LoveIslovely · 01-27-2009, 12:48 AM

Yea its about 5 to 6 pounds a week. Im really focused on the exercise, that is what works for me. So far this month, Ive lost about 13 pounds. I love my band :)

Hi there - first of all I am amazed! Can I ask what your exersize routine has been and how much you have in your band. I've been losing steadily and exersizing but not anywhere near the success that you are seeing. I"m guessing I need a better plan. Any help is greatly appreciated!
