Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi AmySounds like you are doing fantastically well! Congratulations on far you have come, and you are sure to reach your goal very soon. It is great having somewhere to vent - any form of weight loss surgery is difficult to explain to others and having them understand it harder still! I would have gone spare if I didnt have this group in my early years for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi Amy Welsome to the group. Like the other ladies have said you sound like you are doing really really well. You are past the half way mark and have had a baby to boot, wow! I have been banded since August 08, lost 33.5kg after 12mths-18mths then hit a plato. Only had 9kg to go to goal but never got there. For about 12mths I floated around the same weight with 6kg creeping back on without me even noticing. I have been in contact with alot of successful bandits and have notice that this trend seems to occur around the 12-18mth mark. After alot of soul searching I am back fighting again to goal weight. Down a couple of kgs since christmas i am starting to feel really good. I have started on the lite n easy program as my husband and I both work really really long hours with neither one having time to cook. We get home and eat anything in sight, so having the lite n easy meals there ready to go has been a dream come true. I ordered the lunch/dinner 1200 cal program and give the dinners to hubby. I order the bowls or mini meals for myself, but if I find that I am really hungry I have a stab at the main meals (yet to finish one yet). The lunchs are fantastic, having all snacks provided it has taken the guess work away. I noticed that I have stopped going for easy to meals and have been sticking to the program with no problems whatsoever. We would all love to hear a bit more about you and how you lost your first lot of weight, oh and dont forget the progress photos along the way:) Take care Carmen > > Hi everyone, > I just thought I should introduce myself as I've just joined > My name is Amy. I'm 25 and I live in the Hawkesbury/Hills area with my husband and 2 kids (2.5years and a tiddly 5 weeker!) > I've had my band since September 2009 and lost just over 35kgs before falling pregnant with my daughter. I'm about 30kgs down from my maximum weight now, with around 20/25 to go until I reach my goal weight. > My sister also has the band but hates the feeling of restriction so hers remains empty and ineffective. Otherwise I don't know anybody in real life who has had this surgery so it's great to find this group. > > Bye for now, > Amy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
