I know there are some of us, including myself, that get frustrated with the scale and really need other tangible benchmarks. I was at a place where I just felt like, "only 45 pounds so far':..."I have so much more to lose." It seemed daunting to me. I couldn't see how far I had come. For those of you who want to know what 45 pounds looks like. Here it is. And it is impressive!!

As promised, here are my before and after pics.

200 pounds lost in 15 months.

I love my band!!

Good for you!! That is awesome!!

How yall doing?

Me: not the best :/ banded 1/25 and down 15 lbs since surgery. I have 4.5 ccs in and am hungry quite often so then i eat too much. And i probably could be making better use of my calorie intake.

I go in for another fill tomorrow. And i havent really lost any weight since last appt 2 weeks ago. (Although im on my period and may be retaining Water?) i dunno for some reason im just kinda down

Checking in at minus -2.2, yay!!!

You look great!!!

Great job!!!

Hi, All:

Reporting a loss of -2.6!!!! Yay!! Good luck everyone!!!

My surgeon called me as we'll post up and text me several times to check up on me. I thought it was great of him to do so!!

Good for you!!! All the best!!
