State: Ohio | Anyone else close to being under 300lbs????
I can finally see 200's in my future!!! It's been several years since I've been below 300 and it didn't last long on previous attempts, but I'm feeling pretty confident this time with my band it will be different! I hope I'm right!!!!
I've been doing good the last 2 weeks... doing exercise and following rules!!! Anyone else want to join me in the short term goal of getting rid of the "3" being the first digit in our weight?????????

Hi Tess! It looks like we were banded on the same day and have lost very close to the same amount. Plus, I'm 8 or 9 pounds (6 pounds without clothes) away from being in the 2's! So, yes, let's work together to get there. We can do it!

City: Martinsburg State: West Virginia | Gettin to the two's
I reached a mini goal of gettin into the 320's.......so 29 more till the 200's. Wow......it's kind of unthinkable. I can see myself smaller, and I can remember being smaller. Getting back to the reality of numbers is cool...I was 310 in 1993 when I had a daughter and it's weird to feel like I'm going in reverse in a sense.
Keeping my focus on my mini goals here.
Way to go girls! | |

City: McKinney State: TX | Yes, I feel great! I definitely have more energy and want to do more than I did in the past. I don't think I've reached my perfect restriction. I feel like I could eat more without negative consequences, but I don't. I've been really diligent about following the program my doctor and nutritionist laid out for me. And, surprise surprise, it's working! I only got 2.5 cc in my first fill (I'm not sure how much my band holds, but am planning to ask my doctor when I go for my next fill 7/8.) It's great to meet you too! Feel free to reach out to me any time, and let's keep posting here over the next few weeks as we reach that 299 mark! We are doing so good!

This is a great idea. I was banded on 4/11 but have had to have my port removed due to infection. So no fill for me yet but so far I have been happy with my 1/2 cup of food and have been staying on plan easily. I started at 339 (day before surgery) and now I am at 309 so it is really close for me. I have not been under 300 in 4 years and then only breifly. I had been a really long time before that. I am so excited. I can wear things I haven't worn for a long time and get this I had on a pair of short that actually fell off when I stood up. How cool is that. I can't get my ticker to update but I am just about there. Let's celebrate together. Yeah!!!

City: Arlington State: TX | Seeing a 2 in the hundreds place has been a goal of mine for months now. When I started this process I weighed 350 pounds. I was hoping for 300 or less by my surgery, but unless I lose 17-22 pounds in 10 days I won't make it. That's okay though because I was in the 330's and above for longer than I can remember! | |

| I hit under the 300 hundred mark about two weeks ago. I am very pleased with my weight loss. I was banded march 21st, and starting with my preopdiet I weighed in at 330. I am currently at 288. So, WOW. even though I am under the three hundred mark I still would like to make a small personal goal to lose 28 pounds by the end of August.
I had an unfill this past monday, and I will be going in on 6/16 to get asmall fill. they took out 1 cc and I hope they put in at least .6 cc. they took out more than they put in on Friday...so I hope they put at least .6 cc back in.
Good luck to everyone!

State: Florida | I also just reached the 300 mark. I cried when I got to move that clunker thing on the scale to the 250 mark. 287 today. It is a great feeling. Keep up the good work. I will be following your progress, can't wait to see you all hit the mark!!
