I was 358.6 the morning of my lap band surgery on June 10th and today I weighed in at 297. I cracked 300 on my birthday August 2nd. I've been doing 30-40 minutes a night on the LifeCycle at Level 5. Before that I didn't exercise for 5 years. My initial consultation on May 19th I weighed 364. I'm thrilled with my decision and feel great. I've gone from a 54 waist to a 48 waist. All in almost 2 months from the surgery. My doctor said that I'm above the lap band curve and even ahead of the gastric by-pass curve and that made me feel great. I now believe that I can achieve my goal when before my first meeting with my doctor I had very little hope and little confidence that I could ever lose the amount of weight I needed to lose. I can eat anything I ate before only alot less. I have cut out all bread, pizza, ice cream, cookies, cake except for a little nibble once every blue moon. Simply amazing. I kept a journal on my profile page and need to start updating again. Best of luck to you and all of our fellow Juners!!

Yeah! I was Over the Moon when I broke 300 too! I weighed 325 the day of surgery and I'm at 282 now. Looks like you just might lap me soon though
