Great job guys, keep up the good work. I was banded October 14th, 3 more days of liquids....hooray!!! I have lost 49 lbs thus far including pre-op. Started at 309 lbs. down to 260 as of this morning. Everyone looses weight differently. You just have the think of the long term goal, and keep at it.

I'm I guy. I can relate.

I am happy with 5lbs a week. Don't get me wrong. I am just curious what ELSE I COULD be doing. At my size, I am larger that Trav, yet losing less. Learning what he is doing could help me to re-evaluate what I am doing. Dr. Ortiz told me that I should be able to get down to my target weight in 8 months. To do that, I need to make sure I really take advantage of the faster weight loss at the beginning of the process... as I am sure it will slow down and I hit some plateaus as I hit the low 200's.

Learning from the success of others is a good thing. This board has so many successes from woman in ways sometimes hard to relate to, so its good to see people like Trav step up and show what they are doing.

Good point on the body reacting differently though. I have to remember all bodies react differently. Thanks for the reminder.
