1 month and 3 days out

Hey all, Just wanted to give you an update on my progress for those of you thinking about getting the band..... I'm 1 month out from surgery and have lost a total of 30 lbs since the beginning of this journey. I've stuggled with my weight since I was 5 years old so if I can do this, anyone can. I'm eating regular food now and still finding it hard to stay away from high calorie choices because they seem to go down easier but I have a good support system, freinds and family and a lot of determination to make it through this and get this off once and for all. I have so much more energy - I can't sit still. My friends have noticed the extra energy I have and are in shock I think.....lol I can't re-iterate enough that if I can do this - anyone can!!!! If I can help anyone who is still on the fence by answering questions - feel free to give me a shout.

Hi Shelly Good job. The temptation to eat the bad stuff does get better. When you see how well you are doing you are willing to give those foods up easier. I was banded on May12/06 I have lost total of 14 inches and 31. Did my first fill last evening, hoping see more of the wt to go. Good luck with your journey. Laurie
