Loving my band

I was banded on November 21st.  I am down 8.8 pounds since surgery.  I have lost 3% body fat and my BMI is going down.  I am no longer in pain and I am riding my exercise bike 5 miles a day.  I have found keeping a journal is very helpful to record what I eat, my activities, weight and measurements.  My total loss including my pre-op loss is 24 pounds.  My goal is to lose 80.  I CAN DO THIS!
