helen098 got a reaction from jsws91 in size 14 and hopefully going down
Am able to comfortable wear my size 14 pants today, no button marks on my skin, no gasping for breath.
Am wearing a large light sweater and size 14 pants….life is good
I am down to 183…..24 more pounds to go to goal weight 159
It’s been a long sometimes difficult trip, had some setbacks but am generally very happy I got the band
No way would I ever go back to pre band eating
Feeling very good………even though I pulled a muscle in my side at the gym this weekend…no pain no gain…don’t want to miss the gym later this week……who I the heck am I ????

helen098 got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ in Clothes are too big
I have been sick since dec 24, 2 antiboitics, over 30 days of prednisone ect
Just starting to feel better, still very weak
I noticed all of my clothes (underwear too) are too big
My 16 pants are falling off but so far the 14 look horrible
I was able to fit in to a large sweater and yesterday I was able to fit in a size extra large button down white dress shirt
Wasn’t sure so I too a xl and a 1x and I didn’t even have to take the 1x off the hanger
Was doing the very happy dance in the dress room of JC Penney
The weird thing is the scale says 190 (was stuck at 192 for over a month)
I don’t care what the scale says when my pants are falling off
Feeling very good…can’t wait to go down to a large button down shirt and mabye a 12 pants (by the summer

helen098 got a reaction from binab in Not Shopping In The Big Ladies Department
Went this weekend for a few thinks and decided to try the regular department
To my surprise I was able to fit into a regular size 16 pants (no 16x,no stretch waistband) and normal 16 with a zipper and a button….also fit in a extra large shirt (it did have a little stretch but I am not going to complain) ……………I have been unhappy in the large department for the last 5 years or so
I remember in the early 90 shopping in the big department and being happy …the shorted the skirt and the low the top the better…but not for a very long time
Was tempted to buy a lot of stuff but it’s almost the end of summer and I think I will save the money for fall clothes….in the regular department….still smiling about that….would never have happened this time without the band
So happy I just had to share

helen098 got a reaction from hopetolose in My First Incounter With You Took The Easy Way Out With Lap Band
i wish i knew you when i was on chemo i would have loved to have said
"would say "yup, I did take the easy way" and then give one of those sinester laughs while walking away... Hehe, or you could ask her why she prefers the hard way? see what she says then "
----especial like the nisister laugh part

People are stupid
I was actually told by many people when I had colon cancer and was undergoing chemo and got down to 152 how LUCKY I was to have lost so much weight
My response do you want to trade places with me right now and have cancer….that usually made them run away……… People are stupid
