So I was banded on March 5th 2012 at a size 18/20. Well on Sunday I tore a tag off of a 14/16 dress for church and YEP it was TOO BIG..... YAAYYYYY. Now I have only lost 24 pounds which does not seem like a lot to me, but I am happy with my success so far. I am only 7 weeks out and down in sizes so hay... I guess that is my first NSV..... its the small things that count and keep you motivated and I am ecstatic I still have 58 pounds to go and I am ready for the remainder of my journey and to get to where I want to be....... Loving my lap band....

5 Weeks Post Op

Ok so I was banded on March 5 and I am down 21 pounds by the doctors scale and 25 by my scale... I was getting a little bit down because I feel I should be down more by now but then I realized at least its 21-25 pounds I will never see again!!! I started out at at size 18/20 shirt a squeezing tight 16 pants and 18 to be comfortable. Well I am now down to a 14/16 shirt and 16 bottoms... yayyy. I havent had to buy any clothes yet because I am a shopaholic and had 14/16's that I had been holding on to. I have set a new goal for myself to be down 25 more pounds by June. I chose June because that is when I have my family reunion in Louisiana. I havent really told any of my family that I had the surgery only a select few who I swore to secrecy... so it will be nice to see the reactions when I am down 50 pounds. I am finding that after a workout I am so week and hungry. So I tried drinking half a protein shake before and half after today and felt a little better. Since I am a newbie to loosing any and all advise will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance.
