Starting Weight: 325, Current Weight: 190. My doctor's goal weight was 175; for a normal BMI, I should weigh 164. My goal weight was to get to a weight that I had energy and to become happy & healthy - and to have a 1 be my 1st digit. The other part of my goal was to finally get pregnant - so working on that goal now! In the mean time would be great to reach 175 by my 2 yr anniversary. With the band it averages to 1-2 pounds a week. which it has been 21 months so I've averaged over 6 pounds a month and have met the 1-2 a week. Some weeks you'll have nothing and others 4-5 pounds. At the beginning you think 1-2 a week will take FOREVER but if I didn't have the lap band 21 months ago - would I be 130 pounds down - no I'm sure I would've weighed more! And the time goes by faster than you think!
P.S. Thanks for the compliment - you made my night!
HI, I TOTALLY AGREE THAT INTENSIVE THERAPY IS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD TO HAVE MY 430 POUND HUSBAND BACK AND LOSE THE WEIGHT ON HIS OWN, SLOWLY. BY THE WAY, I AM 150, THIS IS THE HEAVIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN, AND MY HUSBAND WAS 190 WHEN I MET HIM 17 YEARS AGO, AND HAS LOST 120 TO 130 ON 2 SEPARATE TIMES BY HIMSELF BUT COULDN'T MAINTAIN IT. AS I SIT HERE NOW, MY HUSBAND IS IN A REHAB IN PENNSYLVANIA, ADDICTED TO ALCOHOL AND AMBIEN, XANAX, AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FOR 6 MONTHS. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS ANYMORE, "HE NEEDED TO FIND HIMSELF." THE SAD THING IS IF YOU DON'T GET OVER WHY YOU ATE LIKE THIS YOUR WHOLE LIFE, WHICH IS AN ADDICTION -- AND I AM SO UPSET THAT HIS INSURANCE AND DR NEVER REQUIRED THERAPY -- THAT'S RIGHT, JUST ONE SESSION -- SOMEWHERE I THINK I AM RIPE FOR A LAWSUIT FOR THIS OVER RUINING MY AND MY 9 YEAR OLD SON'S WORLD -- BUT THAT IS ANOTHER DAY, CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH -- THAT ALL YOU DO IS TRANSFER YOUR **** TO SOMETHING ELSE, I.E., ALCOHOL, SEX, PILLS, OH, AND BY THE WAY, WONDERFUL GUY WHO NEVER SCREWED AROUND, HAS HAD SIX GIRLFRIENDS IN THE PAST YEAR. i FELT LIKE I WAS LIVING A LIFE WHERE MY NINE-YEAR-OLD WAS MATURE THAN THE 17 (REALLY 40) YEAR OLD THAT I WAS MARRIED TO. WHAT A LIFE CHANGE. WENT FROM A WONDERFUL GUY WHO WAS A 3X TO A GUY WHO STARTED TO GO AND GET MANICURES AND PEDICURES WHERE I WENT. I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THAT. I AM SORRY, HE MIGHT LOOK GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE BUT HE IS THE UGLIEST PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN BECAUSE OF THE INSIDE. HE IS A SOULESS PERSON NOW. I TOLD HIM THAT THE DAY OF HIS SURGERY I EQUATE IT TO THE DAY MY "HUSBAND" DIED, BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE OR LOVE THIS PERSON ANY LONGER, AND IF I MET HIM NOW WITHOUT KNOWING HIM PREVIOUS, I WOULD NOT WANT TO EVEN GO OUT ON ONE DATE WITH HIM. IN CLOSING, THANKS ALL THE DOCTORS AND WLP'S AND INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR RUINING MANY LIVES, BECAUSE OF THE ALMIGHT DOLLAR. IT WILL SURELY COME BACK TO BITE YOU IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
