  1. Wearing them right now lol
  2. Thanks! I really appreciate it!
  3. Yay! I'm glad you responded. I feel like your the godfather here lol. It's my personal goal. I've lost a total of 70 lbs since I started dieting and doing the lapband. 20 pounds would supposedly put me at a healthy weight based in my height. But honestly if I feel like another 10lbs is all I need them I will try and maintain by opening my band a bit. I do prefer to be tight. This is all still a learning experience. Btw I chose to do surgery because I couldn't lose the weight on my own. I had been on a diet since age 6. I had hit rock bottom and needed help. And I thank God I chose the lap band.
  4. I still have 20+ pounds but I'm feeling pretty damn good!

  8. It took a while. But I also had hernia surgery at the same time. I was really sore and uncomfortable for about a month.
  9. Thank you. You will be there soon and it will feel like a dream.
  10. It's just a set back. You will lose the weight faster this time because you know how good it felt. You got this!
  11. This also just happened to me. Such a good feeling.
  12. I feel amazing. I am so happy that I decided to go with the lapband. It's hard but so worth it. I started of dieting one month after my son was born at 250. Day of surgery (end of jan 2014) I was 232. Yesterday I weighed in at 179. I can't believe it. I didn't think the surgery would work for me as many of you can understand. But it did. My goal is to get to 150 give or take but I am just so proud of myself. Thank you all for your advice and inspirational stories.
  13. Seriously! I literally sound like a dinosaur. It's funny but also totally obnoxious when I'm out in public. Do you all do the same?
  14. Amazinggggg
