100 lbs.!

I have over 200 pounds to lose but this week I made it to 102 pound weight loss. I am about four and one half months out of surgery. The experience has been one of the best of my life!

Hi shelli16415,

Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment.

I am in the same situation having over 200 to lose.

What do you think have been the top three things that have contributed to your wonderful progress?

Keep up the great work

Happy banding,
Mary

Mary,

The top 3 things would be:
1) Stick to the different Food Phases as close as you can - the first three months are the hardest.

2) I have kept a Food Diary from Day 1. This has kept me very honest with myself. I even kept it on Thanksgiving Day. (This never worked for me when I tried Weight Watchers but with the band it has been very successful for me.)

3) Attend your support meetings regularly and develop a good repoire with your doctor/surgeon. Be honest with him or her. Be honest with yourself. Set realistic goals for yourself.

I hope these help. If I can help you in any way in your journey please write me.
Regards,
shelli

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing and for being an inspiration. I am kinda on the fence, leaning more towards doing it esp. after reading your sucess and knowing that it is possible!! I have 200 plus to loose, so the road seems really long.
