Hi Everyone,
I had my surgery on January 14th 2005.
I would love to answer the questions, Its good to hear what other people 2 years out are going through.
My starting weight was 199
My current weight is 129
I eat about 6 ounces at a time. ( some days more)
I don't count calories, so I don't know how many a day.
I excercise 5-6 days a week both on a cardio machine and or weights ( I just started weights)
I still have a hard time with bread, and sometime rice
I am having a hard time sticking to eating 5 or 6 times a day, I eat only around 3 or 4
I stil would like to lose 10lbs,
I also run the lap band pre- op support group for my surgeons office, I really think that it keeps me on track ( most days)

Wow, how exciting to go to a fancy ball and get all dolled up. I wish we had an event like that where I live. You can do I know you can. I just started doing fitday.com again today. I am going back to all the things I did at the beginning to get me at goal. I remember once I started doing fitday the weight flew off. So thats what I am doing again. Like you said. One day at a time. Good luck and hugs
