I had surgery July 10, 2008.  I have lost 54 pounds.  I started at 254 and this morning I weighed 200.  I cannot wait until I see 199...that will be such a big goal for me to reach!  I started out wearing a size 22 pants, the day before yesterday I went shopping and bought a size 12!  I haven't worn size 12's since I was a freshman in high school!  I have had 3 fills.  I do have a question though, I have seen on here where people have 10cc bands....I only have a 5cc band.  Why the difference?

I have lost 100 pounds in 6 months and  I feel great not to mention I am starting to look great too!!!! I never have felt this great about myself ever. Just am very fortunate that I could have this surgery done..

The New Year is looking good after yesterday!! I was so emotional watching everything in Washington. I was even emotional watching the new Prez dance with his wife!

I hope that 2009 brings many wonderful things!!

I had gastric bypass surgery on 7/11/08.  My highest weight was 300 pounds. The day of my surgery I weighed 297 pounds.  I now weigh 203 pounds. 

I did really well with the food plan from July to October 31.  The day after halloween, I ate some halloween candy and found out that I don't really have dumping from sugar.  Over the holidays I let myself have treats with sugar.  I also got back into the snacking habit.  Usually it is sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pretzels or sugar free candy.  And I started eating bread!!

The last few weeks I have stopped losing weight.  This past week I gained 1 pound.  I don't like the direction I am heading!  I need to get back onto the 3 meals a day without snacking, sugar or bread.
