I have not been posting much on here, in large part (no pun intended), due to the band becoming such a natural part of my life. As I’ve mentioned, I don’t want to post just to be posting, however my goal is going to be at least three interesting posts per month. I am needing [...]

2012 – Off and running….
I know I have not posted the past two weeks. When I started this blog I decided I didn’t want to post to just simply be posting. I wanted to have something to share. I am off to a great start for 2012. I am still losing a little over one pound a month and [...]

December 31st, 2011
As the new year approaches I am really grateful. I feel great and am still doing well with my band; almost 2 years now! How time flys! I believe I actually will have a 2 pound loss in December. I am happy with a 1 pound a month loss, so the extra pound is a [...]

Really doing well…
I am amazed at how good I feel. All day Sunday I worked on the yard and didn’t come in until almost dark. It kind of reminded me if when I was young. I have also dropped a couple of pounds this month. Best wishes For a great holiday season!

Meat first…
This morning I set a goal to eat nothing but meat today. One really big helper in making my band work is to eat the meat first. It takes longer to pass through the band and I usually feel fairly full before I can finish my meat. I am eating only meat today to see [...]

Two years ago….
Two years ago I was getting ready to start my adjustable gastric band journey. I had little energy and had basically resigned myself to being overweight. This meant aching joints, type 2 diabetes, and feeling miserable all day long. At one point I weighted 394 pounds. I didn’t realize how big I had grown until [...]

Thanksgiving
I am really looking forward to our annual Thanksgiving fest! I am going to cheat a little today. I’ll have a small amount of mashed potatoes with gravy, then a little dressing, a little cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, turkey, and pumpkin pie! I am doing really well. The weight is still coming off, even [...]

Love the band…
I just had my six month evaluation at MaxFitness (the fitness center I use) and the results were great. I have lost 2 1/2 inches off of my waist along with great numbers in the other areas. I have been somewhat lax on staying with my workout schedule, since I have been on the road [...]

Just moving along….
I don’t really have a lot to report. Everything is going great! My band is doing its job and I feel great. No problems. My loss is a little over a pound a month. I do hit times when the weight seems to come off quicker and then I’ll plateau. I don’t worry about it [...]
