I hope to capture pics of me that show you where I was, up and down, over the years. If you notice, I hardly EVER take pics alone, too self-conscience. Most of my pics are with my husband, child or twin sister. But you will hopefully be able to tell how I looked before. I am 5'9" almost 5'10" and my height and body type allows me to cover a lot of the real weight in the way that I dress.

Christmas 2005. I tend to wear clothes that cover up my girth. I'm pretty tall so my weight distribution helps me out pretty well.

I truly understand your pain. And it's GREAT to know this support is here. My hubby was banded 10/23 and I was banded 12/4 and so far, our experiences are different. I don't believe I have as much swelling as he does, because I DO get hungry. I am on liquids for an entire week, then mushies, starting THIS Friday. I already have my meal planned. :-) My first couple of days were all gravy baby, but TODAY, is an entirely different story. This gas is SO painful I want to cry. My husband keeps telling me to walk and it only helps a little. I have the chewable Gas-X which don't seem to be helping a great deal. I just want to sleep, but I have an 8 month old baby that wants to beat mama in her tummy. I am SO loving this site right now and it sure feels good to know that I am not alone!
