Kittycat Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 WOW...what a fantastic accomplishment! You should be very proud!!! If you don't mind, for us newbies would you give us your top 3 keys to success or tips on how you have been so successful? It would help a lot as I start this process!!! Great job!!! My pleasure. 1) Fills, keep on top of them, when you need one, get one! 2) Portion control, put 3 oz meat, 1/4 cup of veggies/salad and 1/4 cup of rice or potatoes on your plate, when you are full stop, but the max you can have is what's on the plate. 3) Treating myself in moderation, I have McDonalds, a cookie, a few fries, a few potato chips. You cannot deprive yourself or you will fail. I eat whatever I want in moderation. 99% of the time I follow the plan, but do treat myself. 4) Exercise (to be honest I just started to do this, but it's key to keep the weight loss going) 5) Rewards-give yourself something for working hard and being successful. For every 10 lbs I lose, I reward myself with a pair of shoes, pc of jewellery, a dinner out, something enjoyable and fun! 6) Positive thinking!! I know the weight is going to come off, I will not fail...it may take time, and I have plateaued, but change it up and keep on going. I don't feel like a fat lady anymore, I walk with pride and confidence. 7) Pay it Forward- I have had such tremendous support here, at work and at home which keeps me motivated to succeed and I like to encourage everyone I can to be successful too!!!

JazzyJude Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sweetheawrt ~ you have no idea how much this post means to me right now! I had temptation brought to my desk and just went into puddles. But you got me back to focusing my goal. GREAT TIMING!! I am literally going throught Bandster Hell and so far, I am true to this 21 days post op...but it's killing me. I've 2 more days before I go on solids and hopefully stay on track before my first fill on Sat, Dec 6. Of the 7 items you've listed, the last two hit me..."Positive Thinking" and "Pay it Forward". I just now bounced back up and now going forward with it. Thank you my friend, for this post! (HUGS!) You are doing an AWESOME journey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXXOOXOXOXXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOX Congratulations! Wow - what a great accomplishment! I am really proud of you and you are a huge inspiration to many of us on this board. I am close to hitting 60 and cannot wait to get to that goal. November 1, 2008 is my 1 year anniversary of starting my healthy lifestyle. Although I didn't get my surgery until 07/01/08, my life has changed so much in this past year and being over 50 lbs less makes it that much better. Again, congratulations and celebrate your success with a pedicure, or a new blouse, or something fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXXOOXOXOXXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOX Kat, That is amazing. You give this newbie hope as I have been feeling pretty hopeless about this the past few days. My takeaway from this is that between the 1st and 2nd fills is to go NO more than 3 weeks. And then from the 2nd to 3rd - 4 weeks It sounds like from everything I have been reading and memorizing, the weight really starts to drop after the 2nd and 3rd fills. Congrats sweetie on all the incredibly hard work! much love, Cara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
