I took the old pic on July 4th 2009 when I was on my preop liquid diet weighing 288lbs..so yesterday, July 4th, I took an after pic in which I lost a total of 50 pounds, now weighing 238lbs...My 1 yr lap band anniversry will be on July 17th so Im going to try to lose 10 more pounds so I can say I lost 60 pounds from the date of my lap band surgury...Slow weight loss but its steady and I look and feel great!

I believe that in the beginning most of us have our doubts...we have those moments where were like omggg what did I just do? I cant eat this that and the third..then next thing u know we try those daring foods just to find out that they go down perfectly fine....but trust me, once u get restriction, its WORTH it...You'll find urself full off of small portions and that really helps in weight loss...ull see a wonderful transformation in your health and looks, which is priceless...but u gotta be patient, you wont regret it if you succeed

Thank you guys! And yes I am very proud...and I wish every1 a good weight loss journey

im actually wearin more make up cuz I feel more attractive..I always look nice now, Im loving the new change

Wow I 4got there were even rules b4 goin 2 get a fill =0..I usually eat and drink anything b4 going in cuz I kno I wont be able to eat after...nothing affected me..Right now Im at 8cc in a 10cc band, I just got good restriction and I dont think im going to get another fill...but I never got a fill on my period, never really thought about it lol
