WOW, 70 lbs gone & now a UK size 18 :thumbup:

It feels great & today i have cleared out any last trace of my old big clothes & it felt fantastic standing in front of my wardrobe looking at my slimmer clothes,

i dont think ive ever seen so many different coloured clothes,as i would wear dark ones before,

14 lbs to go then getting my new tattoo to which id better start looking around for a nice design, im thinking of getting one on my wrist, a small one, an achievement thing for me & getting my belly button pierced :thumbup: hope it doesnt hurt too much :thumbdown:

As of yesterday i am a UK size 20 :thumbup: in jeans, so that makes it im down 5 dress sizes, so i treated myself to a pair jeans & a fabulous sexy summer top (just need some sun to wear it, new watch, red wallet & red handbag.. :ohmy:, seen some lovey red shoes.. & red i could never wear because of my size before, friends are telling me they are seeing a new woman & my DH loves the new me too

Ive joined a gym today & i officially start on monday with my health check..

my weight hasnt moved in the last few days so im figuring if i move my ass a little more my weight might start to move again,

its a big gym with a very big pool, seperate spa pool,has a ladies only gym room if yu dont wantto go in the mixed one, got sunbeds in the locker rooms,

2 huge dance rooms, a speed bike room, too many things to list...

looking forward to monday.. there is no way i would have done this when i was 50 lbs heavier

LOL what a great read, congrats on becomming a bandster..

congratulations on your weight loss, you have done awesome, & before you know it you will have reached your other goal, i would stay clear of grape juice..lol

I'm finally half way past my target weight..Its a very happy day for me today :tt1:

I still have another 4 weeks to go before going back to the hospital for a check up & then prob another 2 weeks before my first fill :thumbup:

Hubby took me clothes shopping today, same ole 2 shops & wasnt really happy as they didnt have any wow factor clothes in, so hubby said lets try other clothes sops, i kept saying no they wont fit me theyre for slimmer people, So he grabbed my arm & i took some tops of the rails knowing it would be a waste of time, went to the dressing rooms & omg to my amazement they fitted, my legs went to jelly i had a huge smile on my face & i kept looking at the sizes to make sure i wasnt being fooled & i couldnt believe how small they looked compared to my type of clothes i would normally have to buy...

I spent about 2 hours in 2 shops trying on clothes, & knowing i can now go into more than 2 shops for clothes & mix with the slimmer people when buying clothes...

The store girls were fantastic towards me, i always thougt they didnt like larger women, thats so not true

I have gone from a UK size 30 to a UK size 22-20... woooohooooooo

I am celebrating today as i have lost 42 lbs in 6 weeks & im still on my post op diet & it wont be for a few weeks yet til i get my first fill...

Its been a good few years since i was at this weight & it feels good to start feeling a bit more like a woman than a blob...

Im down to about 1 skirt fitting me properly, as my other clothes are TOO big & my shoes are slouching too & my coats can be nearly wrapped around me, but will do for this winter..

I dont have any regrets with the lapbanding..it has saved my life..we are both working together to make this work for me...

I cant wait for summer to finally wear nicer clothes...

WOW congrats on your weight loss..you have done awesome girl..way to go..

Today i feel great..i am 8 days post op now,

i have lot 30 lbs in weight in the last month..even though i am still a bit swollen i can see the weight coming off everywhere..i am now down to wearing 1 skirt, the others are too big..omg did i say TOO big..yes yes..finally i am being able to say clothes are too big..what a great feeling, I want to stay in this bubble for a long time, i am so focused & so happy :blushing:

I have had 7 other operations, 8th incl lap band the other 7 are not related to my lapband,

tonsills

appendix

gall bladder

ectopic

3 laproscopies

lap band

hi i didnt go until my 4th day..hubby bought me Lactulose liquid, said your suppose to take 9 spoonfulls, i could only manage 4 as it tastes of pure sugar (too sickly for me) & within couple hours i was going & today dont need it..good luck i hope you find something that works for you

Just before my surgery i too like everyone else was very scared/nervous..not of the pain as this was my 8th surgery so i knew what to expect afterwards, but was afraid of not waking up...

well i did & i am here & i am at this moment extremely happy..

I have so far lost a total of 26lbs from December 28th 08..

I have noticed a difference in my clothes & my boobs have shrunk some too..yeahhh..

It was a rollercoaster journey i mean with emotions..but now i am so focused on this lapband..

I am doing everything the nutrition nurse has told me & so far so good, i cant manage all the required liquids on my post op diet & have spoken to the nurse & she has told me its fine cos i am having sips regulary & i am not dehydrated & when the swelling/bruising goes down i will want to have more..so 3 more weeks on liquids then mashed potatoes & gravy here i come..lol
