Do you have a picture, because I'd like to see! I haven't been on a date in over a year, but now, I just don't even want to until I'm at or near goal. My hormones are normally in overdrive, but now boys are the last thing on my mind. Haha it's weird. Anyway, yes, pictures.

7th Months Out . . . Where does the time go?
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The thing about shopping is, I probably could be in a size 16 but I can only imagine the muffin-top I'd have... I am still soooo self-conscience about how I look. My top half is like normal looking now, but the bottom of me is still much bigger than the top. I don't know. -
7th Months Out . . . Where does the time go?
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I really should maybe get a slight unfill but I no longer have insurance, so thats not even an option for now. I don't mind though. Food is no longer in the back of my mind; I can go the whole day without even thinking about eating. It's nice. Honestly though, I never thought I'd make it this far. Gah! -
7th Months Out . . . Where does the time go?
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Oh man, I just took a mini-vacation to California in May. I work at a daycare, so it is REALLY hard to get any time off. Maybe I'll just force myself to go & buy some clothes. It's getting harder & harder to wear my old clothes... & that's about all I have. I NEED new clothes, I just hate it. Haha. -

Yay! Today I reached Onederland! Ugh, I don't know what to do with myself. Buying clothes always makes me feel bad, even now... does anyone have any suggestions as to how to celebrate? -
Thanks! The hardest thing is that I still feel ugly as ever. & now that my tail bone is exposed to the world, I can't manage to sit down without hitting it haha.

Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY
katiebug replied to DeLarla's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
This is me from March at 240lb. Thats 40lb down from surgery. This is today at 204lb. Sometimes I don't see the difference. I think I should be taking more pictures. -
I can understand how you'd feel like that. I was banded December of last year & down 70lbs but feel uglier than ever. The combination of saggy skin , low self-esteem, & not being used to how I look now, makes me feel uncomfortable looking at myself. I (almost) don't like how I look now.

6 MONTHS! Progress Poll
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Do you think I could lose 7lbs in two days? I almost thought I would make it to Onederland by my six month weigh in, but now I'm not so sure. It's okay. I just want to lose as much as I can by Thursday. Haha, weigh ins make me nervous. -
I wore a pair of shorts for the first time in 5 years. It was pretty scary haha.

Haha, I love that show.

6 MONTHS! Progress Poll
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Congratulations on making it to onederland! It just started to hit me that I may be there soon. I have 16 pounds to go before I'm there. I don't think I've been in the 100s since I was like 12. Agh! -
Marijuana Use After Surgery

I know exactly what you mean. If I smoke just a little bowl before working out, I am able to work harder than I can sometimes believe. Miraculous! -
I'm trying to get down to 160. I think that would be ideal. I reached my halfway mark a few days ago, & I'm hoping the second half will go as fast as the first.
-
They are both on the super skinny side of the scale. I feel like they are disgusted & think I did this as a cop-out. But yeah, I'm 5'11 so I could wear the weight well... enough. When I found out I had collarbones, I almost shit a brick. Haha

I have so much support from people at work that it gives me anxiety attacks when they are always talking about it, but the weird thing is that none of my friends will say anything about it. It's been 5 months & 60lbs later but they have yet to say a single word. It's super lame.

Would you get breast implant.....??
katiebug replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Shoot, I would get some new boobs in a heart beat... I just can't afford it. -
I like Guitar Hero. And I'm good. But I like spinning the guitar around me more.
