How's everyone doing??

I've been going up and down 2-3 pounds here and there but so far at my 8 month post lap-band procedure I have lost 78-80 pounds. I'm down to size 8-10 from 18-20. I've had two fill so far at 1.5 cc. Happy surgiversary to all of you. doesn't it feel great?

What an awesome bunch of losers you all are!!! I am doing well and I feel great. Down from 285 to 167!! Only 17 more pounds to my goal of 150. I was wearing a size 26/28 and just bought size 14 pants and medium shirt! One bit of bad news. This Tuesday (June 3) I have to go for surgery. I am having a laparoscopy to repair what my surgeon feels is an internal hernia and to take care of some scar tissue/adhesions I may have as a result of the surgery or the abscess I got after the surgery. It's ambulatory, so I will be going home the same day. Wish me luck and keep up the great work! Hugs, Lisa

Lisa, Good luck tomorrow. I hope you are back to normal in no time. Kathy

Thanks Kathy. I'll update after the surgery. Lisa

Everyone is doing great. I feel like a slug in comparison. I started at 299. I am now between 193 and 196. I am exercising 3 days a week, and that is a struggle. I am 5'8". I do get all my protein and water and am taking my vitamins.

Wow, what an amazing bunch of losers! I am almost at my 9 month mark. I am down 112 pounds. I have reached my first stall this month. I have basically lost nothing so far this month. I have increased the exercise and will see if that makes the scale move. I am into 12 pants and L tops. I am down from a size 24. I am thrilled and always thought if I got to a 14 it would make me happy! NOT. I find now I want it all!!! I think I will consider myself a success when I make it to a size 8! Time will tell. Good work everyone! Shelley

Today is my 9 month anniversary and I'm down 170lbs. I've updated my profile with my new comparison picture. I'm very happy. I hope everyone is doing well.
