5 months post op
HI my name is Yadira and i had surgery 5 months ago (12/21/09). i don't post much but I do try and read posts several times a week. There is always great info here. so far my journey has been great. I have completely changed the way i live. Since my surgery i have lost 72 lbs. I started looking into surgery exactly a year ago. When i went to my first appt i was 296. I lost 20 lbs over last summer. I also lost 12 lbs with my pre-op diet. In one year i have lost 104 lbs. i currently weigh 192. This is the first time i have been under 200 since my teens. I have gone from wearing tight 24W to 16 in misses. I am a treadmill junkie now. I think that the band is an awesome tool. It does require making the right food choices and excercise. I am committed 100% to my new lifestyle. I am not sure how to include pictures here but i did upload pictures to my profile. REading posts here has inspired me to stay committed to getting healthy. I hope this post helps motivate fellow bandsters. Yadira
My starting weight back in May 2009 when i started getting reading for my surgery was 296-298 lbs. The friday before surgery my weight was 264lbs.
