so i was banded December 19th i am now a month and some days post op and decided today i was going to look through pictures and this is the one i saw ( one on left ) i sat there and cried for a while, i couldn't believe i looked like that.. Ive only lost 30 pounds so far and still have a long way to go ( my goal is to loose 100) . i know as i loose more of the weight and continue to look back at pictures i will have a lot of these moments but i really couldn't believe it i was so upset but happy that i made the decision to get the lap band. i feel so good everyday now and after my crying stopped i new i will never ever go back to that and it just gives me even more of a push to work hard at my weight loss. just thought i had to share this .

LEFT : Summer- highest weight- 272
RIGHT : Now- weight- 246

So I went to a Christmas party last night.. at the home of friends we see regularly so saw lots of people who have seen me recently but more that havent seen me since this party last year. While its fun to hear and oh so flattering... the accolaids were almost embarrassing.... I was like.... isnt there something else to talk about besides my weight loss?
 
But then this morning I did my customary morning ritual on the scale and I weighed in at 159!!! I do not EVER remember in my life being in the 150s... I am in shock and no one is awake yet in my house so I had to rush on to tell you.... Holy #%#%... who would woulda thunk it? Maybe 150 isnt a pipe dream....
 
Happy Sunday!
